  • How companies innovate business models and supply chains for a circular economy: a multiple-case study and framework
    Item type: Journal Article
    Kaipainen, Jenni; Urbinati, Andrea; Chiaroni, Davide; et al. (2022)
    International Journal of Innovation Management
    To implement a circular economy (CE), companies are pushed to innovate, respectively, their business models, from a micro-perspective, and their supply chains, from a meso-perspective. Despite the increasing research on both these perspectives, there is still a knowledge gap on how companies innovate business models and supply chains for circularity. In this study, we build on innovation management, circular business model (CBM), and circular supply chain (CSC) literatures and develop a theory-based framework where circularity leads to product/process/service innovation from a micro-perspective, and to possible innovation in companies' supply chains (retaining existing chains/renewing them) from a meso-perspective. Through a multiple-case study of Finnish and Italian CE pioneer companies, we validate this framework, find evidence on interplay between CBM and CSC innovation, and identify innovation strategy variants. The framework contributes to innovation management, CBM, and CSC literature works, and encourages managers willing to adopt circularity to consider innovating simultaneously both their business models and supply chains.
  • The Complementary Effects of Firms’ and Team Leaders’ Entrepreneurial Orientation on Innovation Success and Performance
    Item type: Journal Article
    Fellnhofer, Katharina (2019)
    International Journal of Innovation Management
    The objective of this paper is to enrich the literature on the entrepreneurial orientation (EO)-performance relationship by introducing innovation success as an antecedent variable. By applying structural equation models, we examine a sample of 356 individuals from five organisations. The main results show that the team leader EO and firm EO are complementary and that they boost innovation success significantly, thereby having an indirect positive impact on the relationship between EO and performance. The mediating effects of innovation success imply that it is an antecedent in the EO-performance relationship at organisational levels, which adds to current theoretical discussions regarding the multilevel applicability of the EO construct. Thus, this study represents an original source for human resource departments that are shaping working groups.

  • Opening up the Innovation Process: Outside-in Involvement of Innovative Users and Established Firms' Innovation Performance
    Item type: Journal Article
    Arvanitis, Spyridon; Fuchs, Barbara; Wörter, Martin (2015)
    International Journal of Innovation Management
    Innovation outcome measures are an important indicator of the economic potential of user involvement. Therefore, this study assesses empirically the relationship between users' knowledge as an input factor to innovation and firms' innovation success. The results strongly support the hypotheses: (i) that users have the potential to essentially improve the innovative performance of firms; (ii) that the method of interaction during the innovation process and the characteristics of involved users matter as well. The more firms make use of emphatic design and interact with advanced and lead users, the stronger is the relationship between access to users' knowledge and firm innovation success measured in sales of innovative products.
