“…These implications emphasize that the focus on innovation as a strategic business driver necessitates follower participation and responsive leadership (Calabrese & Costa, 2015;De Spiegelaere, Van Gyes, De Witte, Niesen, & Van Hootegem, 2014;Gomes, Curral, & Caetano, 2015;Service, 2012). Correspondingly, responsive leadership embraces disciplined, transparent, compassionate, trustworthy, sociable, and proactive behaviors to develop innovative organizations (Millier & Bellamy, 2014).…”

“…However, a paucity of scholarly studies exists regarding the relationships between toxic leadership and innovation (Calabrese & Costa, 2015;Holton & Bøllingtoft, 2015). Historically, leadership research primarily examined the influence of leadership on job satisfaction and motivation (Bhatnagar, 2012;Çekmecelioğlu & Özbağ, 2014).…”

Ever-growing business challenges emphasize the necessity for organizations to develop a competent workforce to achieve more stable and inclusive growth. Therefore, this study explored the ever-growing interest in expatriate workers to support organizational competitiveness. This study focuses on Uzbekistan, as its growing competitiveness is pressurizing leader-follower dyads and organizational innovation capabilities to improve productivity, reduce costs, and become more profitable. Workplace environments can be sensitive towards leadership behaviours that can adversely affect expatriates’ readiness for innovation. Therefore, this research study addressed the gap in empirical evidence within the leadership literature relevant to the interplay between toxic leadership and expatriates’ readiness for innovation. This qualitative descriptive study employed an explorative phenomenological cross-sectional design (n=10) into expatriates’ real-life experiences to understand the effects of toxic leadership on their readiness for innovation. The findings from the phenomenological study suggest that toxic leadership can adversely affect expatriate’s readiness for innovation.

“…The influence of these environmental forces can be alleviated by decision makers' "knowledge vision, passion, accumulated experience, and propensity to innovation" [27,50,51]. The decision makers' cognitive processes and environmental forces affect each other, and both have an influence on strategy selection [27,[52][53][54].…”

“…However, no study has yet examined the relationships among the perception on patents, firm strategies, and performance of technology management: A firm's technology management performance depends on its technology management strategies [26]; selection and implementation of these strategies can be affected by the firm's perception on patents. In particular, decision makers can create the necessary conditions to outperform their competitors through their own attitudes, including 'propensity to innovation, leadership attributes, visionary thinking, and long-term orientation' [27,28]. Therefore, the relationship between intellectual property right mechanisms, technology management strategies, and the subsequent performance needs to be investigated [29,30].…”

While patents do have many advantages, their disadvantages include requiring disclosure of technical information and imposing the burden of patenting and litigation costs. In this study, we investigate the relationship between a firm's negative perception on patents, technology management strategies, and subsequent performance. For this purpose, we use a categorical canonical correlation analysis of the top 200, large, R&D-intensive firms in Korea. We find that negative perceptions such as burdensome transaction costs, non-patenting culture, and uncertainty of the outcome of patent litigation are associated with firms' technology management strategies, such as purchase of licenses, and subsequent performance, such as an increase in the number of inventions from the cross-fertilization of different technologies. The results of this study are expected to contribute to a better understanding of firms' negative attitudes toward the effects of patents, their subsequent technology management strategies, and resulting performance.

“…La innovación empresarial es un esfuerzo mental diario que se refleja en la realidad de las actividades administrativas, situación que desde la investigación del pensamiento estratégico es posible descubrir los factores cognitivos que fomenten la innovación específicamente con un razonamiento deductivo de los lideres [4], lo cual significa que el proceso cognitivo está cimentado por hipótesis que siguen reglas lógicas con racionalidad e intuición.…”

Objetivo: Obtener un modelo analítico que determine el índice del desarrollo organizacional en la gestión gerencial de las Instituciones de Educación Superior. Metodología: La metodología que se contempló es de enfoque epistémico y de tipo descriptivo y explicativo. Resultados: En el análisis se identifican los componentes que priorizan las posibles alternativas de gestión organizacional mediante la cuantificación de los indicadores más significativos obtenidos del estudio de campo experimental para analizar las variables de pensamiento estratégico y competitividad. En el proceso estadístico se obtienen los indicadores que hacen parte del Análisis de Componentes Principales de los cuales se destacan cinco factores que representan el 86,386% para el caso de la Universidad Francisco de Paula Santander y del 75,02% para la Universidad de Pamplona de la varianza total explicada resultado de la combinación de las dos variables. Conclusiones: Los resultados matemáticos representan la percepción del sistema de gobernanza de las Instituciones de Educación Superior que refleja la necesidad de implementar estrategias de liderazgo que permitan de forma más holística comprender el entorno para mejorar la competitividad por medio de la reinvención de políticas institucionales basadas en: el mercadeo, la oferta de nuevos servicios, la innovación, la calidad y la eficiencia como instrumentos de diferenciación.
