“…First, we construct a theoretical model that deepens the understanding of how enterprises achieve multigenerational product innovation and facilitates understanding from product innovation to multigenerational product innovation. Different from product innovation, which focuses on a single model (Sun and Zou, 2018; Fursov and Linton, 2022), we advance the understanding of multiple generational product innovation process, where enterprises can inherit knowledge or technologies from prior generations and internalize external knowledge to achieve linkage across product generations, which enriches the literature on product innovation. Furthermore, the literature has paid more attention to the outcomes of multigenerational innovation (Chang and Park, 2013; Shi et al , 2014), and continuous innovation within or across product generations has largely been ignored (Sun and Zou, 2018).…”

“…Product innovation refers to new or improved products or services offered by organizations that are significantly different from previous ones (Fursov and Linton, 2022). Previous literature on product innovation mainly focuses more on the innovation characteristics, process mechanism, antecedents and outcomes of a specific new product or a generation of products, but it pays less attention to the continuity of innovation or multiple generational innovations (Fursov and Linton, 2022; Sun and Zou, 2018). Multigenerational product innovation is defined as the development of multiple generations of new products on the basis of improving the functions or technologies of existing products (Jiang et al , 2022; Chen et al , 2021; Hann et al , 2016), which highlights the improvements or extensions of existing products to innovate successive or subsequent products and emphasizes more on linkage and continuity between two generations of products (Chen et al , 2021; Bornemann et al , 2020).…”

Purpose Developing multigenerational products through iteration helps enterprises cope with environmental uncertainty and maintain lasting competitive advantages in a globally competitive environment. From the knowledge integration perspective, this study aims explore how enterprises achieve multigenerational product innovation. Design/methodology/approach An exploratory case study design is used to explore the multigenerational product innovation process. Findings This study proposes a model of the multigenerational product innovation process and shows that knowledge integration includes two important parts: the internalization of external knowledge and intergenerational knowledge integration. This study further conclude that multigenerational innovation has three main channels: rapid iteration, continuous reflection and coordination. Originality/value First, this study presents a theoretical model of the process of multigenerational product innovation, including triggers, knowledge integration, learning systems and outcomes, and further enhances our understanding from product innovation to multigenerational product innovation. Second, this study contributes to the literature on the multigenerational product innovation process by revealing the knowledge integration process of the internalization of external knowledge and intergenerational knowledge integration.

“…Various described theories on the diffusion of innovation indicate the variation of DoSI models, considering the influencing factors and the process of the spreading. Enabling technology can be crucial in introducing products or services as a form of innovation (Fursov & Linton, 2022 ). The technology is currently associated with digital technology.…”

“…However, research in these areas is rarely found. Currently available research focuses on entrepreneurship and leadership (Grilo & Moreira, 2022 ; Rana et al, 2022 ; Vaccaro & Ramus, 2022 ), transition, transformation, and impact within society (Avelino et al, 2019 ; Dall-Orsoletta et al, 2022 ; Kim et al, 2021 ; Ruthemeier et al, 2022 ), inter-organizational collaborations and value creation (Ozdemir & Gupta, 2021 ), business model, strategy, and governance (de Souza João-Roland & Granados, 2023 ; Dionisio & de Vargas, 2020 ; Gasparin et al, 2021 ; Ney, 2014 ; Peris-Ortiz et al, 2018 ), the role of technology (Boussafi et al, 2021 ; Conti & Orcioni, 2022 ; Enciso-Santocildes et al, 2021 ; C. Li & Bacete, 2022 ; Peterlin et al, 2021 ), and literature or conceptual framework regarding the concept (Ahmadi et al, 2022 ; Cajaiba-Santana, 2014 ; Daniel & Jenner, 2022 ; Fursov & Linton, 2022 ; Kim et al, 2021 ; Nicholls & Dees, 2015 ; Osburg & Schmidpeter, 2013 ; Rao-Nicholson et al, 2017 ; Solis-Navarrete et al, 2021 ; van der Have & Rubalcaba, 2016 ). In Indonesia, research on SI is still rarely found, and this term remains less popular than TI.…”

Social innovation (SI) is a potential solution to various problems and challenges in the agriculture sector. Agri-tech start-ups can be considered important agents for developing SI in the sector. In Indonesia, agri-tech start-ups are also expected to develop SI for sustainable agricultural development in the medium-term national development plan 2020–2024. Using multiple case studies, this paper attempts to complement the currently available literature and deepen the knowledge regarding the differences between SI and traditional innovation. This research also discusses the role of business organizations, represented by agri-tech start-ups, in developing SI, by observing the diffusion model and innovation-decision process. This research identifies characteristics of SI theoretically complemented with empirical description. Three models of diffusion leading to different types of innovation-decision processes and communication channels are identified. Several internal and external factors are influencing the diffusion process. In the process, the start-ups also hold bridging roles that vary according to company characteristics. Practical implications regarding successful SI development are provided.
