This study proposes a new concept, green organisational ambidexterity, that integrates green exploration learning and green exploitation learning simultaneously. Besides, this study argues that the antecedents of green organisational ambidexterity are green shared vision and green absorptive capacity and its consequents are green radical innovation performance and green incremental innovation p...

We examine how teams working on radical innovation develop a novel type of Absorptive Capacity (AC) to make use of external knowledge. In the setting of the semiconductor industry, which has long been an industrial reference for the literature on innovation, we are able to compare AC in incremental innovation and AC in radical innovation. Our central contribution is a framework of how radical i...

Article history: Received 18 January 2013 Received in revised form 1 July 2013 Accepted 13 December 2013 Available online 24 January 2014 Radical innovations have enormous impacts on organizations, industries, and societies. The success of a radical innovation requires multiple facilitators within and across organizational boundaries. In this study, we distinguished the effects of two dimension...

This paper reports from an on-going pilot project investigating university-industry collaboration on the development of radical innovation. There is evidence in the literature that such collaboration increases the likelihood of radical innovation. A conceptual framework is presented and it is arguing that there is a lack of in-depth understanding of such collaborative radical innovation process...

As Leifer et al. have argued, the management of radical innovation projects necessitates different strategies and practices, including different ways of measuring performance. This paper discusses our efforts to explore indicators of progress for radical innovation in basic and applied research and technology development at both the project and programme levels. The paper provides examples of o...

Innovation is a complex phenomenon and process involving translation of knowledge into new techniques, products, services. It is considered crucial for sustainable agriculture development and achievement of long-term food security. The review describes the diversity of innovation and relates it to agro-food sector. It also sheds light on different innovation models and explores their contributi...

The is much discussion about the challenges posed by what have variously been called " disruptive " , " discontinuous " , " breakthrough " and " radical " innovations. It is clear that under conditions in which the dominant " rules of the game " change as a result of emergent or shifting markets, major movements at the technological frontier, dislocations in the regulatory environment etc, even...

In today’s environment of rapid technological change companies can not rely on incremental innovations alone. To sustain long-term competitiveness companies need to develop radical innovations as well. Such innovations typically incorporate new and highly complex technologies, create new markets or shift existing market structures, and require user learning as they often induce significant beha...

Steel industry is one of the leading industries in the world. Today it is also one of the fundamental and strategic industries of the world. Per capita production and consumption amount of steel are used as a criterion for evaluation of country development. Furthermore, attention to technological innovations is assumed so much crucial to access the international markets of steel industrie...
