“…This means that the eLibrary performance relies on their BT advantages. Our results indicated that PEU influences PU to support H7, and this is in line with the other studies (de Paula and Araújo, 2016). According to our results, if a new technology adoption is free of effort, adopting any new technology (BT) is useful because they will obtain maximal benefit from BT accessing the digital library database.…”

PurposeBlockchain technology is a distributed and decentralized public digital ledger, which is employed to save dynamic transaction data and static records across several computers so that each record could not be modified retroactively without the collusion of the network and alteration of all subsequent blocks. Recently, it has become immensely popular in digital resource sharing in different research areas such as healthcare, smart cities, cryptocurrency and libraries. Since the current eLibrary systems are vulnerable to issues such as unauthorized access, plagiarism, etc., there is a lack of access control system that can efficiently address these issues.Design/methodology/approachThe authors designed a conceptual model for evaluating the users' intention in the use of blockchain-based digital libraries, which can facilitate the resource organization and provide additional security to interactive processes between users. To conduct our survey, the authors devised and shared two versions, English and Chinese, among 298 participants. Moreover, 7 PhD students participated in the pre-testing of the questioner design. The authors analyzed the demographic data using the Jamovi software and SmartPLS in order to generate the path modeling.FindingsThis study revealed that blockchain technology adaption in eLibraries is essential for enhancing the quality of services, infrastructure and resources for libraries. The study’s results show that optimism, informativeness, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude and intention to use blockchain technology for accessing digital resources in libraries.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the adoption of blockchain technology in the digital library. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this work is the first empirical attempt to provide a new perspective of developing digital libraries based on security policies. This model shows the underpinning knowledge to manage digital resources, which can facilitate the design phases and enhance the management costs in eLibraries.

“…In addition to Europe, a number of papers report research conducted in other locations, with a small representation of Brazil (Melegati et al , 2019; de Paula and Araujo, 2016; Tolfo et al , 2018; Ximenes et al , 2015), the USA (Kumar et al , 2018; May, 2012), China (Li et al , 2014; Yang et al , 2019), Indonesia (Nirwan and Dhewanto, 2015), Singapore (Chan et al , 2019) and Malaysia (Ekpe et al , 2017). The small number of investigations outside Europe highlights the lack of research and opportunities in other continents, especially in developing countries.…”

“…Similarly, there seems to be special attention given to combining LS with design thinking in software project management and process improvements (Ahmed et al , 2019; Edison et al , 2018; de Paula and Araujo, 2016; Risku and Abrahamsson, 2015; Ximenes et al , 2015) for further problem exploration. Design thinking is a methodology proposed by Brown (2009) that – differently from LS, which starts with a business idea – is triggered from a problem or question and is highly recognized in literature by its appeal to creativity, problem solving and user centeredness (Micheli et al , 2019).…”

“…Concerning the feedback-seeking stage, de Paula and Araujo (2016) and Hokkanen et al (2015) address the interface as a relevant element, which should be as close to the final product as possible; according to them, a good UX (user experience) provides more meaningful feedback. Bajwa et al (2017) observe that it may not be easy for entrepreneurs to identify which valuable feature to build first, so it may be beneficial to use MVPs to decide the candidate features to include in product offerings.…”

Purpose Startups have attracted increased attention over the past years. While entrepreneurs develop startups to capture new business opportunities, also large companies are turning to these fast-growing organizations in efforts to become more agile. However, managing business model innovation and validation is challenging. A number of methodologies, like the Lean Startup (LS), emerged to reduce uncertainties concerning innovation-based projects, and to contribute to business model validation. Despite its popularity, the literature on the LS and its key underpinnings (Agile Methodologies and Customer Development) is sparse, lacking an integrated and structured analysis of their impacts and potentialities. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted a comprehensive systematic literature review on the topic fully analyzing a final set of 71 papers. Findings There is a turning point in the research stream’s maturity with publications in conferences and major journals, with the predominance of empirical investigations in the European region. Articles on the topic are on the rise in several technology fields. However, the literature on the subject falls short on providing guidance to assist practitioners and scholars on the adoption and investigation of these methodologies. Practical implications The paper provides guidance for practice by presenting a staircase roadmap for the LS implementation drawing from the final set of papers reviewed. Originality/value The study categorizes the current literature through a concept map, and offers a structured research agenda beyond the categories from the thematic analysis.

“…Tasks were planned and delivered within twoweek periods and weekly meetings allowed an iterative review of the progress, questions to be raised, and reflections to be shared. Agile iterative practices are commonly used in software development practices and closely tie in with design thinking practices [72][73][74][75].…”

Artificial intelligence (AI) is impacting all aspects of food systems, including production, food processing, distribution, and consumption. AI, if implemented ethically for sustainability, can enhance biodiversity, conserve water and energy resources, provide land-related services, power smart cities, and help mitigate climate change. However, there are significant issues in using AI to transition to sustainable food systems. AI’s own carbon footprint could cancel out any sustainability benefits that it creates. Additionally, the technology could further entrench inequalities between and within countries, and bias against minorities or less powerful groups. This paper draws on findings from a study of the Victorian Farmers’ Markets Association (VFMA) that investigated the complexity of designing AI tools to enhance sustainability and resilience for the benefit of the organisation and its members. Codesign workshops, both synchronous and asynchronous, semi-structured interviews, and design innovation methods led the VFMA to experiment with an AI tool to link sustainable soil practices, nutrient rich produce, and human health. The analysis shows that the codesign process and an agile approach created a co-learning environment where sustainability and ethical questions could be considered iteratively within transdisciplinary engagement. The bottom-up approach developed through this study supports organisations who want to engage with AI while reinforcing fairness, transparency, and sustainability.
