“…2 starts either with a perceived (sustainability) problem, such as climate change, or with an innovative idea about how to offer a (partial) solution to that challenge. A potential sustainability impact, i.e., a desired system-level change, begins with entrepreneurial activities, which require resources such as a founding team, funding (Bendig et al, 2022), or trademarks and intellectual property (Hirschmann and Block, 2022;Vimalnath et al, 2022). These serve as inputs for the development of innovative products or services, which can then be classified as outputs of the entrepreneurial activity.…”

“…One of the most important areas of research in the realm of innovation is the protectionist policies that surround it, such as a multi-rights intellectual property system that acts as a focal point to examine appropriability mechanisms. Intellectual property rights (IPRs) that offer defences in various contexts include patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and others [89].…”

This study focuses on Singapore's manufacturing-based SMEs. The framework utilised in this study, tested SMEs manufacturing technological items and their efficiency. Although numerous studies have been undertaken, further research is necessary to examine and identify the connected elements that affect the adoption of open innovation. The purpose of this study is to investigate organisational citizenship behaviours, integrative culture, managerial ties, transactional costs, and the significant role of appropriability regime in SMEs and the willingness to embrace Open Innovation. A positivist paradigm, using quantitative techniques, and a deductive research approach were undertaken for this study. The hypotheses incorporated organisational citizenship behaviour, integrative culture, managerial ties, transactional cost and appropriability regime and through statistical analyses, the research aims to quantify relationships. The primary data from SMEs was gathered via a survey. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to look at the questionnaire's Likert scale-emphasizing factor structure. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling is then used to evaluate the analysis and internal consistency of the factors that were obtained (PLS-SEM). Involving SMEs in open innovation will increase the range of technical outputs and enable the development of sound, cutting-edge solutions with significant social impact. Among the advantages for society are the creation of higher-quality manufacturing and more environmentally friendly goods and services. Consequently, technological innovation is becoming a crucial component of the managerial education of tomorrow's leaders. It is possible to enhance learning capabilities and build a more constructive emphasis on managing innovation, which is necessary in the age of globalisation, by forging beneficial collaborations between diverse industries.

“…The literature has only recently started to examine the role played by appropriation mechanisms in SI (e.g., Castaldi, 2021; Eppinger et al, 2021; Morales et al, 2022; Vimalnath et al, 2020). However, questions remain regarding whether appropriation mechanisms even have a role for SI (Corrocher & Solito, 2017; Hermundsdottir & Aspelund, 2021; Vimalnath et al, 2020). For example, the literature highlights a “facilitation versus impediment” debate regarding the place of appropriation mechanisms in helping to achieve sustainability outcomes (Castaldi, 2021; Eppinger et al, 2021).…”

“…The study is expected to make three main contributions. First, by finding the motives to use and not use appropriation mechanisms on SI, we contribute to an emerging literature stream examining formal and informal appropriation mechanisms for SI (e.g., Castaldi, 2021; Corrocher & Solito, 2017; Vimalnath et al, 2020). This is expected to reveal motives to use appropriation mechanisms unique to SIs.…”

The role that appropriation mechanisms such as patents and secrecy play in sustainable innovation is currently being debated. In particular, we lack an understanding of the different motives behind using or forgoing specific appropriation mechanisms. Current knowledge is mainly derived from the general innovation literature, which emphasizes profiting from innovation. However, sustainable innovators also seek to positively impact the environment and society, which raises the question of whether existing appropriation literature also applies to sustainable innovation. We interviewed 42 business leaders from small‐to‐medium‐sized enterprises concerning a recently commercialized sustainable innovation. The results indicate that known motives from the general innovation literature apply to sustainable innovation but also reveal motives specific to sustainable innovation. We also discovered motives suitable to all innovations, such as non‐disclosure agreement motives extending beyond achieving secrecy. Theoretically, our findings suggest the profiting from innovation framework may also apply to sustainable innovation, even though the pursuit of profits is not the only motive of sustainable innovators. In practical terms, the results help sustainable innovators to craft an appropriation strategy, and policy‐related opportunities arise for improving patent and trademark filing experiences.
