“…However, the findings do not support some previous research on LAC business that found that information technology investments allow companies to substitute rather than complement skilled labor to improve innovation outcomes. By investigating the Colombian manufacturing industry, Orozco et al (2022) found that information technology investments explain the increase in the firms' innovation performance. Our findings reflect those of Orozco et al (2022).…”

“…By investigating the Colombian manufacturing industry, Orozco et al (2022) found that information technology investments explain the increase in the firms’ innovation performance. Our findings reflect those of Orozco et al (2022). Our findings support these findings by showing that the digital platform used by the company enhances communication among members and enacts different innovation processes among the franchisees.…”

“…Finally, the results from previous studies examining the phenomenon addressing the relationship between franchising systems and knowledge sharing in companies located in emerging countries (Khan, 2016) are not yet well understood and offer promising research opportunities. Recent studies on the LAC business ecosystem have shown that the literature does not fully establish the relationship between information technology investments and organizational innovation (Orozco et al , 2022). Finally, insufficient data exists investigating how franchisees’ ideas are transformed into organizational innovations for the franchise network (Watson et al , 2020).…”

Purpose Despite the significance of knowledge sharing for competitive advantage in networked businesses like franchising systems, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the strategic value of knowledge sharing in the context of franchising. In particular, the specific contribution of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in facilitating interorganizational knowledge exchange among franchising members remains inadequately understood, particularly in emerging economies. Therefore, this study aims to explore the mechanisms involved in the knowledge-sharing process facilitated by a virtual learning environment (VLE) within franchising networks and examine the role of VLEs in facilitating knowledge. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a multiple-case study approach involving 24 franchisees and the franchisor within a Brazilian franchising network operating in the furniture market to examine the role played by a VLE. Findings The results of the study reveal that the introduction of a VLE has played a significant role in fostering enhancements in the knowledge-sharing process among the franchisor and franchisees in the network. Moreover, the results indicate that VLEs play a significant role in overcoming geographical obstacles, thereby enabling efficient knowledge sharing between franchisees and franchisors operating in extensive territorial contexts. Finally, findings indicate that intracommercial competition acts as a prominent barrier, leading to low levels of cooperation and knowledge-sharing intent among franchisees within the network. Originality/value This study contributes to the existing knowledge by enhancing the understanding of how ICTs can facilitate knowledge sharing in organizations operating within franchising systems. Furthermore, this paper advances the comprehension of the role of networking franchising configuration and governance in supporting organizational improvements. Additional actionable insights are provided.

“…Moreover, the study of the relationship between ICT and innovation is also reflected in the literature (e.g. : the relationship between information technology (IT) investments and innovation outcomes (Orozco et al, 2022), the relationship between innovation and ICT development for the EU-28 Member States (Preda et al, 2019), or the influence of ICTs on enterprise innovation performance (Wang & Qi, 2021).…”

Research background: Discussions on the state of the economy in times of crisis focus not only on maintaining or improving innovativeness, but also on the emergence of new dimensions of this phenomenon and changing the significance of individual determinants of innovativeness. Innovativeness is a complex, multidimensional and difficult to measure phenomenon, which implies the need to select various indicators and methods for its assessment. Synthetic measures of innovativeness are widely used in comparative analyses, in particular presenting results in international or interregional cross-sections. The degree of innovativeness should also be assessed at different levels of economic aggregation. The lower the level of aggregation, the easier it becomes to capture the specific determinants of the increase in innovativeness of a given area. Purpose of the article: The main aim of the paper is to attempt to measure the relationship between expenditures and results of innovative activities for NUTS-2 regions of the Visegrad Group countries. Three variables were adopted to describe the effects of innovative activity: PCT patent applications per billion GDP (in PPS), trademark applications per billion GDP (in PPS) and public-private co-publications per million of population. Methods: The study covered 37 NUTS-2 regions of the Visegrad Group countries in the years 2014?2021. From the point of view of the purpose of the paper and the need to search for the relationship between expenditures on innovative activity and the results of this activity, it is worth emphasizing that the use of static and dynamic econometric models proved to be a substantively correct solution leading to the formulation of clear conclusions. Findings & value added: The conducted research confirmed that business R&D expenditure on GDP has a positive effect on inventions expressed by patents and trademarks, especially in the long run. In addition, the literature review and empirical analyses indicate that the main determinants of innovativeness (both before and during the pandemic) are the expenditures of economic entities on R&D, competences expressed by the level of education or participation in tertiary education, as well as the number of ICT specialists and the percentage of people employed in science and technology. Despite the deterioration of many macroeconomic indicators in the countries of the Visegrad Group, the expenditures of the business sector on R&D in most regions did not decrease between 2019 and 2021. The added value of the paper is the presented research procedure, which can be used in analyses of innovativeness also for other groups of regions.

“…Создаваемая структура взаимодействия может принимать различные юридические и финансовые формы. Однако при выборе конструкции для структурирования инновационного проекта важными критериями могут быть: универсальность структуры, возможность вносить изменения в процессе функционирования [2], возможность участия партнеров как на условиях долевого финансирования, так и долгового финансирования, простота конструкции, скорость создания и прозрачность структуры для участников. Немаловажным аспектом может являться требование о различной степени вовлеченности партнеров в управление проектом [3].…”
