“…In the context under investigation, sustainable innovation might involve developing and implementing novel organizational processes (Calik et al ., 2020) and adopting technologies (Ghobakhloo et al ., 2021) that aim to reduce waste generation through discounting products near the expiration date (Huang et al ., 2021a, b).…”

PurposeFood waste is a severe problem affecting the supply chain due to its significant adverse social and environmental effects. Even if the topic is hotly debated in the literature, there is a lack of research about the success factors influencing food waste prevention initiatives retailers undertake.Design/methodology/approachThe research analyzes how several variables (i.e. product-related variables and technology-enabling variables) might impact the success of the sales of products close to the expiration date that is sold at a discounted price. Data from 390.000 products sold at a discounted price in 2020 and 2021 by a large Italian food retailer were examined with a regression analysis.FindingsThe results highlight that both product-related and technology-enabling variables influence the success of food prevention initiatives aimed at selling products close to the expiration date at a discounted price. In particular, the authors stress the importance of digital technologies in supporting food waste prevention initiatives.Practical implicationsThe study offers several practical implications for managers in structuring a waste prevention initiative. The introduction of digital technologies, the monitoring of specific variables or the ability to find synergies with other food waste prevention initiatives are discussed to support retailers in reducing food losses.Originality/valueThe paper is focused on the retailer perspective, which is barely investigated due to the difficulty in finding data.

“…These authors propose a model identifying three types of factors that can lead to a successful network: structural factors (network size, differences in organisations’ size or age and the level of education of those involved), social factors (the relationship and trust between members) and structural factors (related to risk). This has been studied by various authors (Chrupała-Pniak et al, 2017, Buckley et al, 2015; Jap et al, 2011; Franco, 2011; Calik et al, 2020; Shamdasani and Sheth, 1995). Compatibility and understanding of the network’s objectives and rules are a pre-requisite for success (Shamdasani and Sheth, 1995).…”

From a collaborative entrepreneurship perspective, this study aims to understand the functioning of craft breweries’ cooperation networks. To this end, a qualitative approach was adopted, and more specifically, the case study method. The case studied here is a craft beer network in the region of Porto, Portugal. Data collection was through documentary analysis, social networks and semi-structured interviews with various people belonging to the selected network. Content analysis led to the conclusion that in this type of cooperation network, the actors involved are not only the micro-brewers, but also sellers (bar owners), consumers and disseminators. The empirical evidence shows that this type of network is central to these actors since they use it as a support to gain knowledge and as a platform for advertising and socializing. This cooperation network is also essential for business development and the feeling of belonging is very important for all involved. This study contributes to understanding how cooperation networks function in the craft beer business, identifying the reasons, success factors and advantages/benefits that can be achieved in this type of network. A theoretical framework is also proposed as a benchmark for this type of network in other geographical contexts.

“…Enterprises have strong desires to participate in complex project innovation, which can not only provide sufficient financial support to innovators but also keep close contact with relevant government departments, to gain more resource accumulation [ 4 ]. A strong willingness to participate prompts owners, contractors, designers, universities, and other parties to form partnerships, join the innovation organization, and form an innovation cooperation network [ 5 , 6 ].…”

Innovation management of infrastructure megaprojects is a challenging task. There are many risks in the process of innovation in engineering technology, such as shortage of funds, policy fluctuations, and difficulties in the transformation of achievements. Meanwhile, innovation organizations involve multiple participants, which makes cooperation complicated. Therefore, resilient innovation is proposed and considered as a tool that can optimize innovation management. The resilience of innovation depends largely on partnerships at the organizational level, which is rarely explored in current studies. This research aims to examine the relationship between organizational resilience and innovation network characteristics. Based on a survey of 164 participants in infrastructure innovation projects, the structural equation model (SEM) is used to explore the factors that influence organizational resilience. The findings show that there is a positive correlation between network characteristics and organizational resilience. Furthermore, the strength of network connections has a direct impact on the preventive and resistance ability of resilience. Network heterogeneity has an impact on the dual ability of resilience. Finally, a case study of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway innovation network shows that based on the above influence paths, we can find a strategy to reconstruct the network to improve resilience.
