... Hence, it relies heavily on large seed industry enterprises, which play a central role in the innovation, production, and dissemination of new agricultural varieties. The direction of their research and development, pricing of varieties, and after-sales services are crucial to the widespread adoption of new seeds [49][50][51]. However, there is an inherent contradiction between the commercial objectives of seed industry enterprises and the livelihood goals of smallholders [52][53][54]. ...
Amid global climate change and population growth, the prevalence of saline–alkali lands significantly hampers sustainable agricultural development. This study employs theories of asymmetric information and bounded rationality to construct an evolutionary game model, analyzing the interactions among small farmers, family farms, and seed industry enterprises in the context of saline–alkali land management. It investigates the strategic choices and dynamics of these stakeholders under the influence of economic incentives and risk perceptions, with a focus on how government policies can foster green development. Utilizing Delay Differential Equations (DDEs) for simulations, this study highlights the risk of “market failure” without government intervention and underscores the need for government participation to stabilize and improve the efficiency of the green development process. The findings reveal that factors such as initial willingness to participate, the economic viability of salt-tolerant crops, seed pricing, research and development costs, and the design of incentive policies are crucial for sustainable land use. Accordingly, the paper proposes specific policy measures to enhance green development, including strengthening information dissemination and technical training, increasing the economic attractiveness of salt-tolerant crops, alleviating research and development pressures on seed companies, and optimizing economic incentives. This study provides a theoretical and policy framework for the sustainable management of saline–alkali lands, offering insights into the behavioral choices of agricultural stakeholders and supporting government strategies for agricultural and environmental protection.
... The focus of relevant studies lies in the university-industry (UI) collaboration [28], which is found beneficial for both universities [11] and industries [29]. On one hand, industries tend to persistently collaborate with universities, and such persistency is reported to associate with openness to innovation [30]. ...
Universities significantly empower the development of science and technology, and inter-university research collaborations have been one of the major approaches. Considering each university has its expertise regarding research topics in a given discipline, the present paper examines the specialization of university research and its impact on inter-university collaborations. Based on a keyword network constructed via research articles in Information Science and Library Science, 10 research topics are identified. Accordingly, the research topic diversity of a university and the research topic similarity between two universities are quantified. The universities with diverse research topics are found to be more collaborative. A further collaboration network analysis based on the Quadradic Assignment Procedure reveals the important role of research topic similarity on the closeness and impact of collaborations. The different research topic specializations largely prevent close collaborations between two universities, but on the other hand, have the potential to form a complementary combination of knowledge leading to more impactful research output. The analysis and results highlight the important role of research topic specialization and provide insights for the university- or department-level strategy for research collaborations.
... e Low-carbon Collaborative Innovation (LCCI) is to transform the industry in the direction of social, environmental, and economic sustainable development [6,7]. is kind of cooperation is based on the different resource advantages and interest needs of different subjects [8]. Among them, the advantage of research institutions (including universities and research institutes) is their rich R & D resources, equipment, and talent. ...
The most important subsystem of regional low-carbon innovation capability is low-carbon technology innovation system. It is necessary to objectively evaluate the balance of interest among low-carbon technology innovation subjects. This paper constructs the theoretical framework model of benefit balance evaluation of low-carbon collaborative innovation (LCCI). It also explores the main content and index system of evaluation and makes a specific evaluation with TOPSIS method. Our study shows the follow conclusions: ① The interest balance of the subjects of LCCI includes not only the interest balance among subjects, but also the balance of interests within the subject. ② Subjects have different motivations for cooperation. ③ The benefit distribution of LCCI includes the distribution of all tangible and intangible benefits. ④ The equilibrium state is dynamic. When it is unbalanced, it can be adjusted according to the evaluation results to achieve equilibrium. Finally, according to the research conclusions, three suggestions are put forward for LCCI management practice.
... The relationships of institutions can be divided into school-school, school-enterprise, and government-school collaboration, etc., from the perspective of different types of institutions [38][39][40]. They can also be divided into within-institutional and cross-institutional collaboration from the perspective of institutional span [41]. ...
With the transformation of the knowledge production model, the research system of educational research is becoming more extensive, and academic collaboration has become an important productive method of promoting the sustainable development of educational empirical research. Given this situation, what kinds of relationships will sustainably improve educational empirical research output quality? Taking the influence of educational empirical research article as an example, we selected 4610 empirical research articles in 15 education journals for analysis, published between the years of 2015 and 2020. In the sustainable development progress of educational empirical research, the optimal scale phenomenon has been verified in cooperative research. Identity collaboration, institutional collaboration, international collaboration, and discipline collaboration were all found to have a strongly significant influence on the sustainable improvement of educational empirical research output quality. Meanwhile, the output quality of educational empirical research is affected by the heterogeneity of the number of cooperators and cooperating identities. These findings suggest that the optimal proportion of teacher–student collaboration should be 2–3, and the optimal scale of colleague collaboration should be 3–4. Compared with teacher–student collaboration, colleague collaboration, including cross-organization and interdisciplinary collaboration, was more conductive to enhancing the sustainable improvement of educational empirical research outcome quality. According to these findings, it is reasonable to believe that, in the process of the sustainable development of educational empirical research, fine-guidance-style teacher–student collaboration and small-scale, cross-unit colleague collaboration should be promoted; meanwhile, strengthening the collaboration between normal universities, optimizing the quality of international collaboration, and promoting pedagogy intersection with other disciplines are also critical to promote the sustainable improvement of educational empirical research outcome quality.
... Innovative behavior is a necessary factor within an enterprise if that enterprise wishes to establish a competitive advantage [7]. Such behaviors can help enterprises to survive and succeed in a rapidly changing and increasingly complex business environment [8]. What should be clarified is that, in comparison to creativity, employees' innovative behavior (EIB) encompasses a wider range, varying from small behaviors, such as making an improvement in a work routine, to implementing a theory or working out a new product [4,9,10]. ...
Individual innovative behavior has an important relationship with the sustainable development of an organization. Thus, mostly drawing on social cognitive theory, this study examined the relationship between abusive supervision and employees’ innovative behavior, focusing on the mediating role of creative self-efficacy and the moderating role of motivational preference. In an analysis of time-lagged data from three technological, innovation-based enterprises in Shenzhen, this study found that abusive supervision was negatively related to employees’ innovative behavior and that this relationship was mediated by creative self-efficacy. Moreover, motivational preference was found to moderate this relationship as well as that between abusive supervision and creative self-efficacy. Employees with higher levels of motivational preference (i.e., intrinsic motivational preference weighs more than extrinsic motivational preference) are more vulnerable to abusive supervision, causing lower creative self-efficacy performance and less innovative behavior. Alternately, employees with lower levels of motivational preference (i.e., extrinsic motivational preference weighs more than intrinsic motivational preference) are less vulnerable to abusive supervision, thus resulting in a weaker negative relationship between abusive supervision and their creative self-efficacy and innovative behavior.
... This contribution is relevant because the line of knowledge associated with the psychology of sustainable entrepreneurship is still incipient. In recent years, mainly, research has related enterprise sustainability with the characteristics of business models (Baldassarre et al., 2017;Bocken et al., 2014), organizational process attributes (Feng et al., 2020;Singh, 2018;Yu et al., 2020), and the effects of public policies and the generation of social benefits on communities (Jain et al., 2018;Mathew & Sreejesh, 2017). ...
This research evaluates the relationship between innovation and sustainability in Latin American early-stage entrepreneurship. Besides, the study seeks to recognize differences in the relationship between innovation and sustainability by the perception of opportunities, the fear of failure, and companies’ perceived social role, in early-stage entrepreneurs. Responses obtained in 11 Latin American countries are analyzed using correlation parameters and multinomial regressions. The results indicate a low association between innovation and sustainability in new businesses. Additionally, the findings demonstrate that entrepreneurs’ perceptual conditions affect this connection. Notably, it is evidenced that entrepreneurs who perceive good opportunities, less afraid of failure, and identify an active social role of enterprises, tend to incorporate, jointly, higher innovation and sustainability in their new ventures. These outcomes extend the understanding about the effects of entrepreneurs’ psychological characteristics on the development of innovation and sustainability in Latin American countries.
Multidisciplinary collaboration is crucial to sustainable education. It places a strong emphasis on combining many academic disciplines to address complex environmental issues and promote sustainable lifestyles. Students can put their knowledge into practice and raise awareness of the world through community-based learning, corporate partnerships, and international collaborations. The chapter emphasizes effective methods for evaluating the effectiveness and impact of collaborative activities. It highlights how crucial innovation, knowledge sharing, and international cooperation are to building a sustainable future. Social justice, action-oriented learning, and lifetime professional growth are all components of sustainability education. Institutional barriers, cultural differences, and resource constraints impact these cooperative initiatives. Future generations' perceptions of the Earth can be affected via interdisciplinary collaboration and partnerships.
Institutional innovation creates smart institutions that idiosyncratically thrive in a world of exponential change. Through policy-driven interventions and experiential learning, managers of institutions become adept at delivering praxis- and crisis-driven innovations required for survival and success. Similarly, the management of institutional innovation remains an interest in research due to links of this form of innovation to economic growth, and the demands of on-going major socioeconomic transformations due to technological advances, increased occurrences of major crises, and emerging socioeconomic challenges. Accordingly, a key question arising from the literature concerns the range of determinants and priorities that influence institutional innovation for delivering society value. Thus, the onus is on scholarship to capture and advance knowledge for harnessing the potency of institutional innovation. The purpose of this article is to analyse the current state of research on institutional innovation. Using the systematic review methodology, we identify and critically appraise 485 peer-reviewed scientific publications between 1969 and 2021. The review finds key determinants and management priorities with a view to developing a multi-level management model of institutional innovation. Guided by insights from the review, the article sets a research agenda for future management studies of institutional innovation. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
