Authors: Petra A Nylund, Alexander Brem, Parul Chaudhary, FEDERICO D’ALBERTI Publication date: 2024/6/5 Journal: International Journal of Innovation Management Pages: 2450006 Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company Abstract Crisis highlights conflicts but also helps disparate organisations rally around common objectives through forming ecosystemic relationships. To improve future crisis response, we study the influence of crisis-driven transitions on innovation in ecosystems. We illustrate the study with the dynamics of hydrogen innovation at Enel. Here, innovation caters to multiple value propositions; therefore, we define interecosystemic innovation as an…

Connecting The (Invisible) Dots: When Artificial Intelligence Meets Open Innovation Authors: Xavier Ferràs, Petra Nylund, Alexander Brem Publication date: 2024/2/8 Oxford Academic Description Open innovation requires the correct diagnosis of the situation, a differentiated value proposal, and a coherent, consistent action plan. In at least the first phases of this related funnel, open innovation can profit tremendously from artificial intelligence (AI) applications. How? Today, numerous sources of unstructured and scattered information, which may provide strategic insights, are accessible and can be automatically and systematically scanned…

Crisis as a catalyst of idle innovation ecosystems: Evidence from ecosystem exaptation of a water partnership Authors: Petra A Nylund, Xavier Amores-Bravo, Xavier Ferràs-Hernández, Alexander Brem Publication date: 2023/12/1 Journal: Technological Forecasting and Social Change Volume 197 Pages 122865 Publisher: North-Holland Abstract The pandemic challenged industries and entire social systems. Hence, investigating overarching innovation ecosystems in this context can uncover the intriguing effects of innovation and technological change. Based on an inductive case study of a water ecosystem in Catalonia, Spain, with eleven interviews and…

Incumbents Inertia in the Automotive Industry: Technological, Market, and Societal Drivers of Electric Vehicle Standardization Authors: Alexander Brem, Petra A Nylund Publication date: 2023/11/23 Journal: IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management Publisher: IEEE Link Abstract: The arrival of electric vehicles to the mass market is hindered by lacking standardization of components and solutions. Standardization is especially important because of this technology's environmental and social impact. However, it is also particularly complex due to the interrelated technologies and actors concerned. Hence, in this article, we examine opportunities…

A Trust Paradox May Limit the Application of Al-Generated Knowledge Authors: Petra A Nylund, Xavier Ferràs-Hernández, Alexander Brem Publication date: 2023/9/3 Journal: Research-Technology Management Volume 66 Issue 5 Pages 44-52 Publisher: Routledge Link Overview: The extent of knowledge available to society may no longer be limited by human cognition or by refining algorithms. Instead, the interaction of the two may limit knowledge transfer and creation. We examine two behavioral paradoxes: Polanyi’s paradox, which has existed since 1966, and the Trust paradox, which we propose. We…

Standardization in innovation ecosystems: The promise and peril of dominant platforms Authors: Petra A Nylund, Alexander Brem Publication date: 2023/9/1 Journal: Technological Forecasting and Social Change Volume 194, Pages 122714 Publisher: North-Holland https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0040162523003992 Abstract Digital platforms are changing economies and societies, challenging the fundamental institutions of democracy and requiring an understanding of the driving factors behind the development of such platforms. Therefore, we have investigated the impact of dominant platforms on standardization in innovation ecosystems on the level of technologies, firms, and societies. We have…
