Innovation specialists from the largest British companies discussed what they wanted to know about innovation, and asked the academic community to suggest some answers. Some, but by no means all, of their questions had already been answered in the published literature. The behaviours that support a culture of innovation include a market orientation, an innovation‐friendly ruling coalition, and organisational structures that propel novelty. These behaviours also encourage creativity if the risk‐taking employees are rewarded for success and if they are asked to explain their personal mission at intervals. Several methods which researchers have found effective for the identification of ideas which may become market winners are discussed, as are methods building organisational competencies for innovation. Some of their remaining questions are being addressed by research projects currently in progress.

Children and adolescents diagnosed with cancer often require treatment that includes oral medications. These oral medications frequently include both antineoplastic agents essential to cancer treatment and associated supportive care medications. Oral chemotherapy and supportive care regimens are often administered by the child or parent at varied dosing schedules, often for prolonged periods of time (Landier, 2011b). Thus, medication management is an important topic to be addressed with newly diagnosed patients and their parents and is considered a mandatory topic for the pediatric leukemia and lymphoma population (Haugen et al., 2016). Nonadherence to 6-mercaptopurine (6MP), defined as less than 95% adherence to 6MP as prescribed over a period of 6 months, has been associated with a significantly increased risk of relapse in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) (Bhatia et al., 2012; Bhatia et al., 2014). Pediatric ALL patients who were nonadherent to 6MP demonstrated a 2.7-fold increased 835451J POXXX10.1177/1043454219835451Journal of Pediatric Oncology NursingCoyne et al.

Purpose -China is the world's largest user market for digital technologies and experiencing unprecedented rates of rural-urban migration set to create the world's first "urban billion". This is an important context for studying nuanced adoption behaviours that define a digital divide. Large-scale studies are required to determine what behaviours exist in such populations, but can offer limited ability to draw inferences about why. The purpose of this paper is to report a large-scale study inside China that probes a nuanced "digital divide" behaviour: consumer demographics indicating ability to pay by electronic means but behaviour suggesting lack of willingness to do so, and extends current demographics to help explain this. Design/methodology/approach -The authors report trans-national access to commercial "Big Data" inside China capturing the demographics and consumption of millions of consumers across a wide range of physical and digital market channels. Focusing on one urban location we combine traditional demographics with a new measure that reflecting migration: "Distance from Home", and use data-mining techniques to develop a model that predicts use behaviour.Findings -Use behaviour is predictable. Most use is explained by value of the transaction. "Distance from Home" is more predictive of technology use than traditional demographics.Research limitations/implications -Results suggest traditional demographics are insufficient to explain "why" use/non-use occurs and hence an insufficient basis to formulate and target government policy. Originality/value -The authors understand this to be the first large-scale trans-national study of use/non-use of digital channels within China, and the first study of the impact of distance on ICT adoption.
