Summary: This research examines cost-efficient manufacturer technology licensing strategies for three manufacturers with different production costs. Four strategies are considered, including competition, exclusive licensing to a mid- or high-cost manufacturer by the innovator, and licensing to both manufacturers. The study explores the equilibrium solutions and optimal strategy based on profits for the licensors, licensees, and unlicensed manufacturer. The findings highlight the importance of cost differences, market competition intensity, and power dynamics in determining the optimal licensing strategy. Licensing coopetition between an innovator and licensee can lead to market exit for unlicensed manufacturers, and licensing cost-reducing technology among competitors improves social welfare.

Summary: Based on coopetition literature, this study classifies alliance coopetition into horizontal and vertical coopetition, and empirically finds a positive relationship between alliance coopetition and breakthrough innovation, which is contingent on the resource integration ability of firms. Furthermore, the study reveals the moderating effect of knowledge ambiguity on the relationship between coopetition and firms' resource integration.

Summary: This study examines the mediating role of open innovation and the moderating effect of digitalization capabilities in the relationship between coopetition strategy and sustainable performance in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The results show that open innovation partially mediates the relationship between coopetition strategy and sustainable performance, and digitalization capability significantly moderates the relationship between coopetition strategy and open innovation. However, there was no significant moderating effect between coopetition strategy and sustainable performance of digitization capability.

Summary: Customer participation is an external source of knowledge for enterprise innovation, but the effect of customer participation on innovation performance is inconsistent. This study explores the effects of dynamic strategy and updating network structure on customer participation innovation performance. The results suggest that team managers should allow team members to update connections and coordinate the updating frequency of strategy and structure properly.

Summary: This study reveals that the impact of types of coopetition (upstream/downstream) on price fairness perception is contingent upon market structure and the degree of innovation of the new product offering. Downstream coopetition is more detrimental in a concentrated market, but can lead to greater price fairness perception than upstream coopetition in a competitive market when the new product offering is highly innovative.

Summary: This study provides specific theoretical guidance for enhancing enterprise's independent innovation capabilities by studying the knowledge utilization and the evolution of innovation under different innovation strategies and revealing the law of innovation path. The research findings show that the overall knowledge integration capacity of the electronic information industry is at a medium and lower level, with less widespread knowledge reliance. The industry is gradually moving towards diversified development, and cross-domain knowledge reorganization is increasing.

Summary: The proliferation of research on innovation-related coopetition calls for a more unified understanding of the current state of knowledge in this domain. However, previous reviews have not adequately considered innovation as a core aspect of coopetition analysis. This study fills this gap by systematically reviewing two decades of research on coopetition and innovation, revealing the major research themes, theories and methods used, levels of analysis, and explored contexts. The findings highlight the importance of various theories and their implications for both theory and practice.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of individual employee characteristics (such as digital self-efficacy, workforce agility, innovativeness, and commitment to change) on technological readiness in different stages of a crisis (before and during a crisis). Through fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) on data from 2892 employees representing various sectors and countries, the study finds that specific employee characteristics are beneficial for achieving technological readiness in organizations before and during a crisis. For example, the impact of digital self-efficacy on technological readiness differs in the pre-crisis and crisis phases, while workforce agility is essential in both phases.

Summary: This study develops a measurement scale for strategic myopia through two focus group interviews and validation on three samples of managers. The study confirms the dimensions of the construct, including competitive, cooperative, temporal, and learning myopia, and validates a parsimonious scale of 16 items. The scale can be useful for theory testing, self-evaluation of managers, and evaluation of management teams' myopia profiles, supporting decisions on how to shape team diversity.

Summary: Firms vary in their emphasis on B2B relationships for achieving strategic goals. This variation, captured by relational orientation, influences managers' decision-making patterns and subsequently firm performance. Despite ample B2B literature, no measurement scale of firms' relational orientation has been developed. Our study aims to develop and validate a useful scale for measuring B2B relational orientation. We conducted a series of studies to generate an initial item inventory and assess face, content, and construct validity. We established a scale consisting of three dimensions: value creation and appropriation, choice of partners, and B2B behaviors.

Summary: Sustainability is a crucial criterion in sustainable consumption, but it is often affected by misleading information. This study investigates the hindsight bias by manipulating information about a product's sustainability. It examines the interaction of surprise and sustainability from both marketing and psychology perspectives. The findings show that surprising, sustainable information leads to a hindsight bias that increases purchase intention and word of mouth, while surprising, unsustainable information about sustainable products has opposite effects.

Summary: This article investigates the role of online privacy literacy as a determinant of Internet users' concerns about their privacy. Contrary to the premise, the findings suggest that Internet users with higher privacy literacy actually have increased concerns about their privacy. Additionally, the study reveals that an increase in knowledge about regulations and laws pertaining to personal data protection does not result in fewer concerns about privacy.

Summary: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) allows companies to address global challenges and contribute to areas such as climate change, resource scarcity, wealth inequality, and economic and political fragility. While previous research has focused on firm strategies, this article highlights the importance of employees in implementing CSR initiatives. Through stakeholder theory and narrative interviews, the research identifies employees as facilitators of CSR, acknowledges potential divergent perspectives on sustainability efforts, and recommends the inclusion and empowerment of employees in CSR initiatives. This allows organizations to effectively implement ecological and social sustainability within the company and in broader contexts.

Summary: Digital entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in economic growth and development, but the most effective methods of fostering it are still uncertain. Through a comprehensive literature review, we identified 45 different drivers of successful digital entrepreneurship at the individual, organizational, and regional/national levels. While some drivers were specific to the digital context, many aligned with broader research on entrepreneurial success, such as founders' educational attainment. To enhance our understanding and promote digital entrepreneurship, we propose a multi-level conceptual framework emphasizing digital-related drivers.
