Summary: In this study, the researchers propose a conceptual framework called ICONIC to explain the factors critical for developing innovation capabilities in born global firms. Innovation capabilities are defined as a multi-dimensional construct with three sub-dimensions, and their antecedents and outcomes are explored. The study also presents propositions about the relationships between different constructs in the framework.

Summary: Firms tend to adopt different modes of open activities depending on their choice of effective protection mechanisms. Research shows that formal open activities are favored for incremental innovation when legal methods are used to protect innovation, while informal open activities are favored for radical innovation when strategic methods are used for protection. The impact of open activities on innovation output may vary depending on the innovation types.

Summary: This paper examines the impact and mechanism of China's digital economy on urban innovation and finds that the digital economy is characterized by spatial aggregation and has spatial spillover effects on the innovation capacity of peripheral cities. The digital economy directly enhances local innovation capacity by promoting human resources and increasing science and technology spending, and also influences the innovation capacity of peripheral cities through spatial spillover.

Summary: This study theorizes circular manufacturing (CM) by extending the cleaner production concept according to the design thinking of CE. It explores the antecedents and performance outcomes of CM and the moderating role of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) production technologies on CM-to-environmental and financial performance relationships. The findings suggest that strengthening a CE culture and integrated management systems can improve CM implementation and environmental and financial performance, but investing in I4.0 production technologies may not enhance the impact.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between the digital economy and CO2 emissions by constructing a comprehensive digital economy index and using the SYS-GMM technique. The results suggest a negative impact of the digital economy on CO2 emissions, with sub-indicators such as infrastructure, innovation and application, and economic growth and jobs also influencing CO2 emissions. The digital economy indirectly reduces CO2 emissions by expanding the scale of the tertiary industry, reducing coal consumption, and promoting green technology innovation.

Summary: During an IPO, companies aim to maximize their stock market value. The authors argue that a firm's innovation potential, which includes outputs and activities contributing to future product development, can serve as a credible signal of firm quality for IPO managers. Analyzing a sample of 370 IPO firms in consumer-packaged goods and pharmaceutical industries, the authors find that innovation potential is positively associated with IPO initial value and first-day returns, and negatively associated with insider share selling. The effectiveness of innovation potential as a signal varies based on metrics used. Patents have a stronger impact on insider sales, while preannouncements have the strongest impact on first-day returns.
