“…Here, the concept of "open collaboration" means the use of open platforms to promote the principles of egalitarianism, meritocracy, and self-organization (Riehle et al, 2009). This idea has inspired the notion of open innovation for market and social entrepreneurship (Dieguez et al, 2020;Gay, 2020;Temiz and Broo, 2020). These phenomena are enabled by digital technologies, such as internet platforms, and are transforming human societies (Parker et al, 2016).…”

This brief research report focuses on the effects of artificial intelligence (AI) on the environment, by analyzing the latest documents issued by major standard organizations such as the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the Internet Society of China (ISC). By outlining the latest developments into a platform canvas for carbon neutrality management and services, this report identifies the potential of “AI of the environment” (i.e., the material composition and environmental impact of AI itself) and “AI for the environment” (i.e., the purposeful use of smart applications to benefit the environment). The role of AI is contextualized in the digital platform design for the provision of services on carbon emission data, which serves as the material foundation for smart services facing both the producers and the consumers of such information. Contributing to the design of business models that enable open innovations, this report discusses the emission impact reduction mechanisms that can optimize, substitute, induce, manage, and facilitate processes and services, indicating the potential of AI-enabled smart services such as forecasting, planning, and recommendation systems. Despite the limited disciplinary considerations and detailed discussions on specific AI technologies, this report provides a simple, practical, and flexible technology roadmap that can be used as a guide for researchers and practitioners to refine their operations and designs and to follow best practices. This report succinctly visualizes key elements of digital platforms of/for GHG emission reduction and their enabling mechanisms, serving as an AI technology roadmap for future research and innovation in the field.

“…However, it is not only about the environmentalism and the term is also embedded in the definitions of sustainability for the concerns of economic and social (McGill, 2013). In agreement with the so-called 'the triple bottom line' concept as a way to approach the phenomenon of sustainability, there are three performance dimensions found in the literature (Nunes & Bennet, 2010) These are the Environmental, Social, and Economic dimensions that equivalent importance needs to be given to each of them when companies make strategic business and policy decisions (Teresa, Ferreira, Silva, & Tjahjonoc, 2020).…”

Purpose: This paper aims to discuss sustainability in fleet management at companies considering simultaneously the three dimensions of sustainability, which are economic, environmental, and social, corresponding to the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) approach. Approach/Methodology/Design: This paper examines the subject and employs a theory-building-descriptive design. Three key themes in the aspect of sustainability and in terms of fleet management were examined: economic, environmental, and social. Findings: In today’s world, almost every company operates vehicle fleets to perform business requirements and irrespective of the size of vehicles, these companies need to execute some certain fleet operations under the phenomenon of fleet management. Fleet management entails a transition to a more sustainable model which should try to adopt economic, environmental, social dimensions. While the economic dimension of sustainability brings about a new model called the TCM, the environmental dimension constructs a road map to greener fleets and delivers quick wins that companies can easily implement in their agendas. The social dimension concerns the well-being of people and society which seeks to find a balance between their needs and the requirements of fleet management. Practical Implications: The paper recommends a subsequent study through an empirical way that would investigate the actual sustainability behaviours and initiatives of companies present in Turkey. Originality/value: In recent years, sustainability has become an interesting topic for scholars in many areas of research. However, the literature is lacking ample studies concerning sustainability in corporate fleet management. Therefore, the main contribution and novelty of this paper is to provide companies with policy advice regarding the three pillars of sustainability for their applications to vehicle fleet management.

“…In open innovation, the issue of intellectual property is less important, what matters is the sharing of knowledge and technology to support the development of a unique business model. Consequently, the benefits of open innovation allow to better realize the goals of sustainable development [33][34][35][36], the concept of social responsibility and the fivefold economic helix [37][38][39], which is considered a condition for survival and good quality of life of future generations [40]. Thus, it can be concluded that from the point of view of socio-economic development, with its scale and intensity being primary factors, open innovation is more useful and effective than closed innovation.…”

“…Public finances, especially in developing economies, have limited sufficiency, which was and is a significant barrier to the creation of innovation [28][29][30]. This imbalance of commercial and state potential can also seriously limit the sharing of knowledge and technology [80][81][82][83][84][85] and inhibit the development of open innovation useful for the development of local and regional communities [31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. For this reason, the recommendation would be to raise awareness of the role of sharing intellectual resources through selected elements of innovation policy and the national innovation system, especially since such a policy-according to the literature-promotes social and economic development [11,12].…”

Transfer and diffusion of knowledge and technology is a key condition for the development of innovation. In practice, they take place at the interface between science and business, which makes the level of innovation and development of a given economy depend on the effectiveness and efficiency of universities and other scientific units co-creating the national innovation network. With this important circumstance in mind, this article presents an assessment of the operations of selected research institutes in Poland in 2014–2019 in the context of pro-efficiency statutory changes aimed at making the commercialization of research and development results more effective. The multiple case study used in the article includes five units operating in the field of environmental protection (two) and energy (three)—sectors relevant to the transformation of the national energy sector. The research analyzes the sources of funding of the institutes’ operations, their profitability and the financial effectiveness of their scientific and research staff. The results of the research indicate the adaptability of the surveyed institutes to the new rules of financing and the possibility of their wider than previously opening to business relations, as well as at least partial independence from budget financing. This is a valuable observation from the perspective of shaping innovation policy and the principles of operation of the national innovation system in developing economies.
