Summary: This study examines the impact of inter-sectoral innovation flows, specifically technological interdependencies, on sectoral employment dynamics. Results show that a higher level of technological inputs leads to a lower demand for workers within the sector. The degree of vertical integration in terms of acquiring R&D embodied inputs has a statistically significant and negative employment impact.

Summary: This study empirically examines the relationship between business regulation and entrepreneurship, finding that business regulation generally hinders entrepreneurship. However, the impact of regulation differs between high-income and lower-income countries, with stricter employment protection legislation positively affecting entrepreneurship in lower-income countries with a larger informal sector. Additionally, stricter insolvency regulation hinders entrepreneurship only in high-income economies. Furthermore, high-quality governmental support programs stimulate opportunity nascent and young business entrepreneurship, but this relationship is apparent only in high-income countries.

Summary: This paper examines the impact of external and internal factors on technological and non-technological innovation in 5747 Indian firms. The study categorizes the firms into high-technology and low-technology industries to gain insights about manufacturing firms. The findings suggest that internal resources and capabilities are the main drivers of innovation, with research and development spending playing a significant role in both forms of innovation.

Summary: Based on the upper echelon theory and legitimacy theory, this study develops a scale to evaluate the degree of firm's greenwashing specialized with Chinese characteristics and examines the relationships among top management team (TMT) characteristics, technological innovation, and firm's greenwashing. The findings reveal that TMT education level has a significantly negative impact on firm's greenwashing, while TMT functional background diversity has a significantly positive impact. Technological innovation has a significantly negative effect on firm's greenwashing and moderates the relationships between TMT age and firm's greenwashing, and between TMT functional background diversity and firm's greenwashing. These results provide insights for managers and policy makers regarding the influence of TMT characteristics and the weakening effect of technological innovation on firm's greenwashing.

Summary: Facing global climate change, transitioning to a green economy is crucial. This study focused on how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engage in green innovation activities. Through qualitative case study approach and interviews with three SME owners/managers, it was found that green innovation is a concern for managers, but its implementation is challenging. Two of the SMEs only implemented waste recycling measures, indicating a need for a more comprehensive shift towards a green and sustainable business model. The urgency for SMEs to adopt sustainable practices and understand the importance of green innovation is highlighted.

Summary: The allocation of innovation-related elements is influenced by intangible elements such as technological information, resulting in the stochastic change of technological innovation efficiency. The endogenous change in technological information reduces friction, lowers costs, and improves efficiency, gradually reducing the deviation between knowledge capital investment and technological innovation efficiency. Small knowledge capital investment characterized by low demand for technological information tends to have gentler stochastic change in technological innovation efficiency.
