Summary: This study delves into the influence of stakeholder pressure on sustainable management practices through a comprehensive literature review and the identification of future research opportunities. The findings indicate that organizational factors are more extensively studied as moderating variables compared to individual and macro-level factors. It is also observed that stakeholder theory is predominantly used, followed by institutional theory. The manufacturing sector is widely covered, with survey methodology being frequently employed, and environmental dimensions receiving more attention than social dimensions. However, the relationship between stakeholder pressure and the adoption of sustainable management practices remains unclear due to varying results.

Summary: This article presents a systematic literature review on cross-industry innovation (CII), a specific form of open innovation (OI) that is increasingly important in the context of digitalization and technological convergence. Previous research on CII is dispersed and adopts different perspectives. The study analyzed 45 articles published between 1997 and 2021, addressing research questions related to the conceptualization, types, features, process, determinants, consequences, and methodological trends of CII. The findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of CII and offer valuable insights, including a new definition and classification of CII, integration of diverse CII processes, and a network map showing knowledge crossfertilization between industries.
