Summary: Researchers use regional demographics in China to instrument board characteristics and find that gender diversity is more pertinent in facilitating innovation in male-dominated industries. The study also indicates that different types of diversity can promote innovation in low-tech and nonpatent intensive industries, while scientific experience matters more in high-tech and patent intensive industries.

Summary: This study empirically examines the direct and indirect effects of three types of industrial agglomeration (industrial specialization, industrial related variety, and industrial unrelated variety) with different cognitive distances on regional innovation. Using spatial econometric analysis and panel data of 283 Chinese cities from 2004 to 2016, the empirical results reveal that industrial specialization and industrial related variety have positive effects on regional innovation and generate positive spatial spillover effects. However, industrial unrelated variety has a significant negative impact on regional innovation and produces negative spatial spillover effects. The study also analyzes the direct and indirect effects of these industrial agglomerations on regional innovation between China's coastal and inland cities. These findings have important theoretical and policy implications.

Summary: This study aims to improve the understanding of regional adoption of the circular economy by systematically reviewing and synthesizing the current academic literature. The study found that the adoption of the circular economy at the regional level is underexplored and lacks relevant academic contributions. This is the first attempt to provide a holistic systematic literature review in the regional circular economy domain, laying the groundwork for future studies in this field.

Summary: This study utilizes data from 8 million patents granted to U.S.-based inventors between 1850 and 1999 to describe the rise and fall of innovative city-regions. The results show that during the early stages of innovation, inventors experiment with diverse and non-local ideas, while they build on local ideas as innovation expands. However, during the decline of innovation, inventors focus on relatively homogeneous sets of ideas. The study also finds that declining city-regions rarely experience a second wave of local innovation, but when they do, it is preceded by changes in the knowledge sourcing strategies of local inventors.

Summary: This article examines how regional factors such as knowledge, agglomeration, and openness impact startups and incumbent firms in terms of innovative capacity building. Regression analysis of a large dataset of Chinese high-tech firms reveals that the growth rate of startup innovation capacity is positively influenced by regional knowledge stock and localization economies. In addition to regional knowledge stock, incumbent firms benefit from urbanization economies and regional openness in their capacity building. Favorable regional factors such as the presence of universities and clustering of knowledge-intensive peers enable startups to leverage their internal knowledge assets into innovative capacity. These findings highlight the importance of both access to external knowledge and proactive efforts to integrate internal and external knowledge in the ecosystem of startup innovation capacity building.

Summary: This paper empirically examines the impact of China's low-carbon city pilot policy on urban eco-innovation and finds that the pilot policies can promote urban eco-innovation. The study also reveals a progressive pilot policy promotion model with an "experience accumulation effect" that shows better results in the second batch of pilot policies. The paper confirms the eco-innovation effects of the pilot environmental policy model with Chinese characteristics, which has significant theoretical implications.

Summary: Team flow is a positive team state that enhances team performance and well-being. The research on collective flow in a work team context is still limited, and little is known about the factors that foster it. This study found that team goal commitment was positively associated with team flow at both the between-group and within-group levels, with collective efficacy beliefs mediating the relationship between team goal commitment and work team flow. Additionally, team proximity was found to have a positive mediated association with team flow at the within-group level, and collective challenge-skills balance played a moderating role. These findings provide valuable insights into the complex mechanisms of establishing collective flow in a work team context.

Summary: The Person-Entrepreneurship fit perspective suggests that individuals are more likely to choose work settings that align with their personal preferences, attitudes, and goals. This study explores the relationship between entrepreneurial intentions and creative performance among student entrepreneurs, taking into account the moderating effects of opportunity recognition and distress tolerance. The findings indicate that the relationship between entrepreneurial intention and creative performance is contingent upon high levels of opportunity recognition, and low distress tolerance hinders the stimulating effect of opportunity recognition.

This study takes a multilevel approach to CR and investigates its association with team performance. The findings show that the interaction between collective emotional and cognitive CR levels affects collective intentional CR. Additionally, diversity in collective intentional CR is negatively related to leader-rated team performance. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

Summary: The degree of task completeness, which is a result of the division of labor and job specialization, can affect employees' motivation to be creative and innovative. There is no consensus on whether a well-rounded or task-specialized work is better for innovative work behavior, but the amount of task-identity discrepancy may influence individual reactions to a task structure. This study suggests that task-identity incongruence indirectly drives innovative work behaviors more than congruence.

Summary: Sustainability considerations are increasingly important for manufacturing companies, especially in the early stages of product design, to promote the development of products and processes with better environmental and social benefits. However, existing sustainability assessment tools are challenging to apply in the uncertain and data-scarce frontend of innovation. A systematic literature review provides best practices and design propositions to improve early-stage sustainability assessment, along with recommendations for designing and implementing sustainability assessment tools in technology development. Opportunities for future research, including refining the design propositions and operationalizing early-stage sustainability assessment, are also proposed.

Summary: Higher education institutions are encouraged to become entrepreneurial universities to deliver their third mission and cultivate entrepreneurial graduates. This paper argues that many of the activities engaged in by these institutions can be categorized as intrapreneurship rather than entrepreneurship. The focus on intrapreneurial activities is seen as crucial for sustaining the entrepreneurial university status. By examining the entrepreneurial activities of five universities in Europe, this research highlights the intrapreneurial dimensions and provides insights for future research in the context of intrapreneurship and the entrepreneurial university.

Summary: This study introduces the concept of the 'mixed gamble' of external search breadth for family firms, highlighting the unique trade-off between financial and socioemotional wealth gains and losses. The study examines the influence of family management and family generational stage on this mixed gamble, as well as the impact of export propensity. The findings suggest that family firms with greater family management and in first-generation prioritize current SEW losses over potential gains, resulting in lower external search breadth. However, export propensity can alter this trade-off and lead to higher external search breadth.
