This paper contributes to the literature and management practice by opening “black box” of firms’ absorptive capacity (AC) processes. Following a process research approach based on in-depth comparative case studies four German manufacturing companies, we develop empirically validate procss model firm-internal AC process. Our integrates different single elements (e.g., individuals, teams, departments) as well linear nonlinear causal interactions that constitute firm’s ability identify, adopt,...
Purpose This paper sets out to discuss the results of a specific part Europe‐wide Delphi study that considers issues absorptive capacity in European manufacturing. Owing importance competitiveness increasing innovative capabilities manufacturing it is highly relevant explore how wide community experts experience phenomenon and sense future developments. Design/methodology/approach A two round method was designed which more than 3,000 from 22 countries assessed 101 statements. discusses eight...
Our agrifood systems require transformation to meet today’s challenges, especially the growing demand for protein. Promising alternative protein sources include algae, crickets and jellyfish, but little is known how public perceives these future options. We argue that identify responsible pathways transitions, public’s views need be explored. Consequently, aim of this study was understand perceptions three transition. survey 474 respondents in Germany showed consumption algae perceived as...
Since 2003, as a means of enabling integrated care the German mental health system has offered innovative option agreeing Global Treatment Budget (GTB, also known regional psychiatric budget or flexible and integrative forms treatment FIT) with insurers providers across sectors. Despite promoting legal frameworks positive evidence on improving quality patient care, this model not spread widely. The aim study is to identify inhibiting facilitating factors for innovation diffusion.We conducted...
Western Europe’s agrifood systems are highly developed, extremely complex, and dependably produce food for billions. Securing their functionality is imperative whilst dealing with varieties of major challenges opportunities in the future. Multiple stakeholders involved system transitions; therefore, synthesizing views from different scientific disciplines essential a robust trend analysis. Through workshops variety experts, extensive research, followed by close monitoring over 5 years, we...
In the past decade, a major feature of science, technology and innovation (STI) policy has been widespread adoption new mission-oriented approach based on 'grand challenges'. The concept reflects idea putting societal challenges into centre contemporary STI choice design. However, little is known about how this orientation will challenge today's practices which mechanisms be needed to support fulfilment such goal. article we interpret challenges' as competition between different but...
We examine the role and importance of knowledge management in European manufacturing, based on a comprehensive Delphi survey that covers wide range aspects relevant for future competitiveness manufacturing. The various activities, their estimated time realisation, effects employment, competitiveness, living working conditions possible barriers implementation such as level education qualification, economic viability, social acceptability, technical feasibility are analysed. results highlight...
