“…Normally, in every household, they could earn money by working on their own time, and not using their own car similarly in US, or China according to our interview. Third, if caring sharing platform companies expand their role as employers such as (1) providing insurance to drivers, (2) giving balance between freedom and responsibility to drivers, or 3) paying taxes to the government platform, etc., the carsharing industry will create new chances for industry in the fourth industrial revolution [62,63].…”

This paper discusses dynamics and differences of business models in the car-sharing industry and focuses on open innovation as the trigger of diverse business models among Uber in the U.S., DiDi Chuxing in China, and KakaoT in Korea. We seek to answer the following two questions: What creates the differences in the business models of the car-sharing industry? Do the differences in open innovation motivate the diversity of business models among Uber, DiDi Chuxing, and KakaoT? We incorporated participatory observation, interviews, and semi-structured questionnaire methods in our study. We used two-step participatory observation and interview methods, hence carrying out observation and interviews two times by different researchers with Uber drivers in the U.S., DiDi-Chuxing drivers in Beijing, and KakaoT taxi drivers in Korea to confirm the interview and participatory observation results. First, business models of the car-sharing firms Uber, DiDi-Chuxing, and KakaoT are not fixed but rather are dynamically changing. Second, business models of car-sharing firms are the result of interaction with government regulations, the taxi industry, public transportation, and the automotive car industry. Third, open innovation strategies of car-sharing firms determine the contents and dynamics of car-sharing business models, such as the revenue business model, responsibility business model, and system business model upon interaction with four agencies.

“…Even though these studies have different perspectives, such as increasing productivity or building an innovation system, they converge where there is an urgent need to have an appropriate institutional setting. In this sense, openness or inclusion, is not only a fundamental condition to attract all socio-economic agents, but more importantly, to create an innovation system with less clear borders that individuals, firms and industries can share and coordinate resources to realize innovation and associated outcomes [50].…”

“…is established, the more efficiently factors would communicate and exchange innovative ideas and stay ahead of Schumpeterian creative destruction. When research is applying and testing this concept, the policy question is 'to what extent a shortage on one dimension of proximity can be compensated by a higher level proximity on another dimension' [50]; (3) on the optimization stage, providing incentives for improving networking within a regional innovation system is very important. This requires smart and flexible innovation governance at the city level, such as financing and encouraging collaborated innovation projects or providing physical convenience for information exchange and sharing.…”

Understanding Contributions of the Creative Class to Sustainable Economic Growth in China

et al. 2020

By investigating the direct effect of the ‘3T’s (the creative class; tolerance; technology) and their interactive effects on GDP per capita, based on the data collected from 279 cities over the period of 2002–2014, the aim of this study is to explore the practical value of the creative class theory to the sustainable economic development in China. Using econometric estimations; the results suggest that agglomeration of the creative class; improving tolerant milieu and increasing technology investment have positive explanatory powers in understanding the disparities in GDP per capita between different cities in China. However, the complementary effects on GDP per capita are only observed between the creative class and technology or technology and tolerance, while there is an interference effect between the creative class and tolerance. These findings suggest that Florida’s advocacy for generating creative competitiveness across cities and regions by building up selected amenities may be arguable, but that the creative class is substantially contributing to regional economic growth. However, the creative class may have a unique mix with other innovative elements in different contexts. Therefore, instead of extensively focusing on a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution that praises ‘cultural consumption’, the present study suggests a ‘three-phrase theory’; which has quite generic and flexible policy focuses on different development stages.

“…For all this, social media played a vital role as the use of social media is pervasive, so the social media handlers require continued use and commitment of their users to increase their business operations [18]. Open innovation synergies aid in improving performance, gaining competitive advantage and sustainability by building networks purposefully [19,20]. Companies are struggling hard to develop and foster entrepreneurial orientations to compete in complex and dynamic environments that depend on company's capacity toward innovation [21].…”

The breakneck pace of digital technologies has created a dramatic shift in marketing campaigns to engage users through unique and innovative experiences. Focusing on the same grounds, this study relates the market engagement with users’ loyalty (UL) for Facebook social media. Market engagement has been measured through four constructs of innovative engagement (IE), functional engagement (FE), emotional engagement (EE), and communal engagement (CE). Blogging has been included as a moderator in the relation between IE, FE, EE, CE, and UL. To measure these relationships, study proposed two models and developed five hypotheses. Data were collected through structured questionnaire aimed at referral groups i.e., habitual users of Facebook. A total of 309 responses were included in the analysis through purposive sampling. Model 1 was tested with simple regression and it was found that the overall model was statistically significant and explained 65 percent of variation in UL. It was concluded that for online users, loyalty is affected by IE, FE, and CE, while EE is of least concern for them. Model 2 was tested through hierarchical regression after the inclusion of a moderator of BE in model 1. It was concluded that blogging acted as a partial moderator in between the relationship of IE, FE, EE, CE, and UL as the proposed model 2 was found to be significant. However, only CE yielded significant relationship with UL while IE, FE, and EE yielded insignificant relationship with UL in the presence of a moderator. The study concedes new insights for those social platforms and marketing companies that are seeking innovative and unique ways to retain their online users for long time.
