“…The substantial technological impact (Tavan et al, 2021) encourages developing a new agri-food market within the urban context (Bresciani et al, 2018). Therefore, smart cities qualify as one of the most favourable contexts for an agri-food entrepreneur (Gabriele et al, 2017).…”

“…Therefore, the technologies to implement this new type of urban agri-food cultivation are characterised as a technological element in the smart city context (Bresciani et al, 2018;Ferraris et al, 2018;Jafari-Sadeghi andBiancone, 2018, Brescia, 2020). The future smart cities will have to support sustainable development by exploiting new sources of innovation and collaboration (Gabriele et al, 2017;Grossi et al, 2021;Secinaro et al, 2021a). Indeed, through advanced technologies implemented within greenhouses, a vertical farm could theoretically produce fish, poultry, fruit and vegetables (Despommier, 2010).…”

PurposeThis paper aims to explore the literature on vertical farming to define key elements to outline a business model for entrepreneurs. The research aims to stimulate entrepreneurship for vertical farming in a smart cities' context, recognising urban agriculture as technology to satisfy increasing food needs.Design/methodology/approachThe research conducts a structured literature review on 186 articles on vertical farming extracted from the Scopus. Moreover, the bibliometric analysis revealed the descriptive statistics on this field and the main themes through the authors' keywords.FindingsDifferent perspectives showed the multidisciplinary nature of the topic and how the intersection of different skills is necessary to understand the subject entirely. The keywords analysis allowed for identifying the topics covered by the authors and the business model's elements.Research limitations/implicationsThe research explores a topic in the embryonic stage to define key strands of literature. It provides business model insights extending George and Bock's (2011) research to stimulate entrepreneurship in vertical farming. Limitations arise from the sources used to develop our analysis and how the topic appears as a frontier innovation.Originality/valueOriginality is the integration of literature strands related to vertical farming, highlighting its multidisciplinary nature to provide a holistic understanding of the themes. In smart cities' context, innovations allow traditional business models to be interpreted in a novel perspective and revealed the elements for transforming vertical farming from innovative technology to an effective source of food sustenance. Finally, the paper suggests a new methodology application for the analysis of word clusters by integrating correspondence analysis and multidimensional scaling analysis.

“…The economic success of cities or any region depends on local sectoral and institutional configuration, and the framework of governance (Martin et al, 2011). Collaboration between firms and institutions is increasingly important for a successful knowledge economy, especially through joint research programs, research financing, and networking with other local and/or non-local companies (Gabriele et al, 2015). The government can provide a framework or a bridge across different policies (i.e., cluster policies, research policies, education policies) to stimulate innovation and economic competitiveness (Remøe, 2010).…”

“…Although economic globalisation has challenged the role of state, it remains the ultimate guarantor of right on capital and infrastructure (Sassen, 1999). Local, regional and national governments play a significant role in enabling an innovation system and subsequent economic development (Gabriele et al, 2015;Martin et al, 2011, Remøe, 2010. The government can act as a formal agent for policy formulation, and a facilitator of cooperation and coordination among stakeholders to transfer new knowledge for wider application (Remøe, 2010).…”

This study investigates planning policy shifts to shape a global knowledge city in the dual contemporary transformative processes of globalisation and the knowledge economy. It develops an integrative conceptual and policy analytical framework from cross-fertilising 'the global city' and 'the knowledge city', and tests it by applying it to Melbourne as a case study. The empirical analysis involves a content analysis of strategic plans and elite interviews with key policy makers and informants. The findings are mixed. At both the state and the city levels, the strategic plans demonstrate a growing presence and importance of key themes that define Melbourne as an emerging global knowledge city. However, the absence of a national policy and problematic intergovernmental coordination in strategic directions, and a lack of focus on human capital without due considerations of home grown talent and international students, are limiting Melbourne from fully reaching its potential as a global knowledge city. Drawing on these findings, this study concludes with a discussion about the effectiveness of the constructed framework in conceptualising 'the global knowledge city' and policy analysis; it also points out a few limitations of this exploratory study that require further research.

“…As is clear from the above description, the open innovation undertaken by Fujifilm is an ambitious and complex project, whose purpose is, on one hand, to attract new managerial and technological talent, and on the other, to provide ideas and services to other business partners (Gabriele et al , 2017). Thus, it is a coupled open innovation model, which comprises both the inside-out and the outside-in strategies.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a new statistical approach to evaluate complex open innovation projects on a quantitative basis. In certain circumstances, open innovation entails a radical change of policy that involves various different functions of a company such as R&D, production, and management over a period of years and gives rise to mechanisms of mutual interaction with several business partners, such as collaboration with other companies, universities and R&D institutions, and new suppliers. Then, the question arises of how to measure the impact of such complex open innovation processes on the overall performances of companies. Design/methodology/approach A holistic case study is applied to analyze the effect of open innovation projects on a corporate company’s stock price dynamics. The scope is to identify two different scenarios pre- and post-adoption of an open innovation model by a multinational company, Fujifilm. In particular, a stochastic model, namely the log-normal model, is applied along with three statistical tests: Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Cramer von Mises, and F-test for equal variances, in order to verify if the adoption of an open innovation model causes any significant change in the stock price dynamics of the corporate company. Findings From the findings emerges evidence that open innovation projects have a moderate effect on Fujifilm’s stock price dynamics, but a greater improvement of the perception of Fujifilm’s stock value. This enhances the management and financial literature review by offering a novel, empirical perspective on the effect of the adoption of an open innovation model on a corporate company’s stock price dynamics. Research limitations/implications This research is limited to a single case study, but it can be extended to other stock market companies and therefore improve on the present study. Originality/value An original application of Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests to detect and measure the differences between the two regimes of pre-open innovation and post-innovation regimes.
