“…To measure the level of BMI construct, items considering the novelty of BMI were adopted from Osterwalder et al [8] and Zott and Amit [22]; Ross et al [79] items were used to measure the BMI outcomes construct. For the business performance construct, items were adapted from previous studies [83,86,92,93]. The constructs and respective measurement items are presented in Table 1.…”

Business model innovation (BMI) is one of the key activities, which has to be continuously undertaken in every enterprise to sustain competitiveness in today’s digital economy. Although the interest in business models (BM) has risen significantly since the late 1990s, little is known about BMI practices in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), representing a majority of enterprises in the European market. Our study addresses this research gap and focuses on the investigation of drivers and outcomes of BMI in SMEs. A partial least squares path modeling (PLS-PM) method was used to empirically test the model using data collected in 2017 from 71 SMEs in Slovenia. Results have shown that the innovativeness of enterprises and their business environment has a positive impact on the level of BMI activities in the enterprises. However, this is not the case of fast developing and rapidly changing information technology. In addition, the results show that the level of BMI has a positive impact on BMI outcomes and further on overall business performance. The results contribute to the body of knowledge in the field of BMI activities in SMEs and offer useful insights to SMEs that intend to innovate their business model(s) and government to create a supportive environment.

“…These players could be other inventors with expertise in complementary fields, technical staff and managers. Inventors must carefully analyze others for potential collaborations in R&D work to be able to understand what patterns of resource reuse, reconstruction, and recombination are possible and will most likely produce fruitful results in conditions of uncertainty and resource constraints [10,31,53,86]. During these processes of collaborating with other inventors and colleagues, it is essential for inventors to access information, skillsets, time, and resources possessed by others.…”

High-tech organizations increasingly rely on innovative contributions of their R&D employees, or the inventors, who often work within resource-constrained environments of emerging markets to deliver innovative outcomes. Integrating social exchange theory and bricolage theory, we conceptualize R&D activity as a process that involves salient tensions as inventors work effectively with others using their social skills while pursuing competing goals, with limited capital, and resource constraints. This study extends prior research on the relationship between R&D inventors' bricolage activities, their social skills and R&D performance. Survey data was collected from 211 R&D inventors working in R&D divisions at six multinational high technology organizations in India. Results indicate that R&D inventor bricolage activities enhanced R&D performance (outcomes and efficiency). We also find inventors' social skills (social astuteness, networking ability, interpersonal influence and apparent sincerity) significantly relate to R&D inventor bricolage and positively relate to R&D project outcomes. This study provides empirical evidence towards uncovering the behavioral foundations of R&D inventor activities in resource-constrained R&D settings. We identify social skills and bricolage activities of R&D employees as being important for shaping positive R&D outcomes in organizations. Overall, we contribute to R&D management in better understanding how micro-level variables influence macro-level R&D outcomes in firms.

“…In addition, as a formal institutional arrangement within a corporation, internal governance has a potential substitution effect on informal regulation within the corporation, and effective internal governance can significantly improve enterprise performance [42]. On the other hand, different elements of business models will also have an impact on corporate performance [43,44]; the quality of business model design even directly determines the quality of performance [43][44][45].…”

Truly Sustainability or Hypocrisy: The Effects of Corporate Sustainable Orientation on Consumers’ Quality Perception and Trust Based on Evidence from China

Sustainable initiatives have been widely fulfilled by corporations, which can acquire better reputations by performing environmental, social, and economic responsibilities. However, if a corporation’s propaganda about sustainable orientation is contrary to the actual action, or even does not have a clear orientation, then it may also fall into the reputation of hypocrisy. In this study, from the perspective of consumer behavior and based on the moral responsibility theory of corporate sustainability, we identify six types of sustainable corporations by their orientations toward sustainability, including value, goals, and structure. We empirically examine their direct effects on consumers’ sustainable quality perception and trust, as well as the moderating effects of corporate social responsibility associations and consumer–corporation identity. Data are collected in China; 203 adults participated in the survey. The results reveal that the types of sustainable goals and structure have a significant effect on consumers’ sustainable quality perception and trust. Furthermore, consumers’ perception is also positively associated with their trust in a corporation. Moreover, the consumer–corporation identity negatively moderates the relationship between perception and trust. These findings also bring theoretical and practical insights for governments and corporations.
