The sparsity and compressibility of finite-dimensional signals are of great interest in fields such as compressed sensing. The notion of compressibility is also extended to infinite sequences of i.i.d. or ergodic random variables based on the observed error in their nonlinear k-term approximation. In this work, we use the entropy measure to study the compressibility of continuous-domain innovat...

This paper analyzes the interdependence between the firms’ technology choice and innovation. Previous literature argues that product flexibility and product innovation are complements, because flexible machines handle a large variety of product designs with low changeover times. In a model where technology is chosen before uncertain demand is realized, we show that long-run technology, by impos...

In recent years the proliferation of a new technological evolution has aroused great interest from science and practice: social media. Subsuming different types of online applications where users can create, edit and share content, social media enables new forms of interaction with others. Organisations already recognise its relevance and start leveraging on it. Furthermore, organisations ident...

Organizations are beginning to experiment with the use of the “crowd” to complete tasks commonly performed by employees or designated agents. While “crowdsourcing” is growing, we know little about common uses of the crowd and the challenges such initiatives present. Findings from a grounded theory study reveal four common uses by established organizations: productivity, product/service innovati...

The market orientation has been found to be a major driver of innovation performance in service contexts. This issue raises questions concerning the extent to which the relationship market orientation-innovation performance link holds in the high-tech industry. Relatively litter research has examined how market orientation contributes to innovation performance through service innovation. We rep...

Nowadays, knowledge sharing as one of the components of knowledge management process, has a significant role in organization success. Knowledge causes organizations to be able to acquire knowledge faster and more effective than before, and also apply it which therefore cause them to create competitive advantage. This research is an attempt to investigate the effects of knowledge sharing on inno...

Supply chain design has a crucial role in the prosperity and sustainable growth of enterprises. Network and innovation mutual relationship shapes the orientation and design of the supply chain. Networks are means of securing access to the resources, information and support. A number of studies have examined the relationship between networks and innovation, and show a positive relation between t...
