“…While it is widely acknowledged among foresight scholars that the link between cause and effect can be elusive, recurrent theme of recent theory on corporate foresight, both on firm and cluster levels, has increasingly found a positive relationship between corporate foresight and innovation (Gershman, Bredikhin, and Vishnevskiy 2016;Ruff 2015;Zeng, Xie, and Tam 2010). Those that do not report direct causal link often identify flexible organisational outcomes such as ambidexterity, peripheral visioning, second-order learning (See for e.g.…”

“…During the current third stage, the company is moving to servitisation and digital services, introducing a system for ongoing monitoring, diagnosing and transportation of produced vehicles based on an automated control system. The central element of the system will be a compatible development of "digital twins" of all elements -products, processes, machines and equipment -which form an integral system of single digital production space (Production Management, 2017;Gershman et al, 2016).…”

Digitalisation in machinery-building is expected to enhance productivity and drive the digital transformation of other industries. The extant literature sparsely describes pathways of different sectors in digitalisation, considering the heterogeneous characteristics of firms and sectors. Emerging economies with important state participation represent a particular interest in this area of research. To this end, a multiple case study method was used to describe a set of determinants revealed from the literature on Russian technological development and innovation in manufacturing. Two different patterns were identified. The first one was typical for large leading firms with state participation, which have a global market presence and a substantial level of interoperability, currently turning into a service business model. Private firms that follow the second pattern focus on physical and digital infrastructure upgrading targeted at particular issues to secure connectivity across departments. The state participation does not have a decisive role in digitalisation decisions; however, it affects the participation of companies in national digital initiatives. This study is a preliminary analysis of the determinants associated with corporate digitalisation from the sectoral perspective. Since both national and corporate strategies are ongoing, it seems premature to make generalised conclusions. Instead, the paper provides useful insights for management and policy that refer to digital technology uptake by machinery-building industries.

“…They produce 29% of China's GDP (Lee, 2009), control the national economy, and are dominant in the strategic industries (Chan and Rosenbloom 2010;Nolan and Xiaoqiang, 1999;Girma et al, 2009). Besides China, SOEs are highly significant in transitional economies like Brazil (Trebat 1983, Musacchio andLazzarini 2014), India (Baliga and Santalainen, 2006), and Russia (Gershman et al, 2016).…”

“…For instance, SOEs contributed to the postwar development in Western economies, accounting for a large share of GDP. Similarly, SOEs are crucial in developing countries, as in the case of Russia and China, among others (Girma et al, 2009;Gershman et al, 2016). The presence of SOEs in mature and developing economies varies over time.…”

This paper deals with the role of the State Owned enterprises (SOEs) in innovation processes. Only a few studies focus on the contribution SOEs as companies might give to produce new knowledge and technological innovation. We argue, however, that SOEs are a pillar of the innovation process and we explore conditions that can make SOEs very effective. Through two in-depth case studies in two different industries (STMicroelectronics in the semiconductor and Thales Alenia Space in the space industry) we illustrate how SOEs can contribute to innovation by exploring new opportunities and recombining different sources of knowledge. We highlight the conditions that can make exploration and recombination possible. We also highlight the ability of the two companies to change their boundaries through a continuous wave of agreements, mergers and acquisitions. This way, they were able to expand beyond their domains in a way that matched the evolution of their original industries.
