“…Incremental innovation, which brings improvements in the forms or combinations or constructions of products and changes in the shape or colors or design of the products, is one promising and effective way to catch consumers' attentions and thus expand the market share (Bouncken, Fredrich, Ritala, & Kraus, 2018;Brettel, Heinemann, Engelen, & Neubauer, 2011). In addition, incremental innovation involves lower risk, less cost, shorter terms but higher certainty in the future returns (Davis & Tomoda, 2018;Fores & Camison, 2016), which encourages the firms to perform incremental innovation frequently regardless of ratios of debt.…”

The availabilities of debt for Chinese firms have been increased since 2008 due to the expansionary monetary policies. These policies triggered concerns over the impact of debt financing on firms’ technological innovation activities. Based on a sample of 225 listed computer and telecommunications equipment firms in China within 2008-2015, this study explored the effect of debt financing on two types of technological innovation, namely radical and incremental innovation. Specifically, both the direct effect of debt financing on technological innovation and its moderating effect on the relationship between R&D intensity and technological innovation were investigated. Results of this study reveal that radical innovation decreases with debt financing at decreasing rates, while incremental innovation is not affected by debt financing itself. In addition, debt financing interacted with R&D intensity exerts positive effect on both radical and incremental innovation. This study adds meaningful insights to the literature on financing technological innovation and builds a bridge connecting macroeconomic policies to firm activities.

“…The most competitive organizations tend to seek disruptive innovations with a special effort to develop innovative projects that reach new markets, causing a kind of creative destruction (Christensen, 2013;Davis & Tomoda, 2018). Due to its emphasis on production and research, the Brazilian agribusiness sector has proved to be highly competitive throughout the country's economic history (Santos et al, 2020).…”

The agribusiness sector has experienced a significant pace of technological evolution. New resources, such as the use of drones, the internet of things, and satellite communication have been fundamental in the emergence of AgTechs, technological companies that have emerged from agribusiness. This article aims to map São Paulo AgTechs and the products and services they offer. This article contributes to the advancement of knowledge about AgTechs and their transformation of the Brazilian agribusiness field. AgTechs have expanded and strengthened the agribusiness sector, which represented approximately 21.4% of Brazilian GDP in 2019, and 26.6% in 2020, despite the political-health crisis and its challenge, it has continued the growth and investment trajectory in Rand and Development, while seeking to increase efficiency in interactions. This qualitative study is exploratory and has a bibliographic design. The data were collected from the Brazilian Association of Startups, Global Entrepreneurship Monitor reports, websites of AgTechs in São Paulo state, and Web of Science. The main results indicate the importance of the São Paulo ecosystem, in which are located 26% of Brazilian AgTechs, the largest concentration in the country. The products and services generated at AgTechs are high tech. In the state of São Paulo, there are three communities that interact with AgTechs and form an entrepreneur-innovative ecosystem.

“…Breakthrough innovation of an organization operating under this quality management system may harm the reliability and quality of products, which needs to cross the quality standards' restrictions (Leavengood et al, 2014). Incremental innovation can improve product quality by continuously refined technologies (Davis & Tomoda, 2018). The paradox between technological innovation and quality improvement under ISO 9000 standards is summarized.…”

In the context of supply-side structural reform (SSSR), the central government pays more attention to high-quality economic growth. Technological innovation, standards, and quality (TSQ) are the core elements of the SSSR. Therefore, it is essential to understand the coupling relationship between TSQ subsystems and explore its economic growth effect. This study examines the coupling relationship between technological innovation, quality improvement variables, and standard settings for the listed companies in China during 2007–2016. This study assesses the coupling relationship and development difference among TSQ subsystems by developing a coupling coordination degree model. The findings show that the quality subsystem is the collaborative shortboard subsystem, and the standard subsystem plays a role in three subsystems. Moreover, ordered optimization in coupling coordination for each subsystem’s pair, TSQ subsystems achieve high-level internal coordination and resist coupling. However, the speed of the coupling among I–S–Q subsystems is less in any two subsystems. There is a positive link between the coupling coordination degree of TSQ subsystems and economic growth. Still, the effect of the coupling relationship of I–S–Q subsystems with economic growth is more significant. This study offers support for managers, policymakers, and government officials for better policies to optimize the supply structure, enhanced the manufacturing industry, and promote the economic growth of emerging economies.
