“…When companies need to introduce new products, there is a requirement to change existing processes, or even form new ones when they involve techniques that are novel to the firm. In their empirical investigation, Fritsch and Meschede (2001) show that process innovation has a positive effect on product innovation, and that by fostering process innovation, a firm will be able to improve its product quality or even to produce entirely new products. Therefore, facilitating process innovation results in positive spillover effects.…”

The potential of big data analytics in enabling improvements in business processes has urged researchers and practitioners to understand if, and under what combination of conditions, such novel technologies can support the enactment and management of business processes. While there is much discussion around how big data analytics can impact a firm's incremental and radical process innovation capabilities, we still know very little about what big data analytics resources firms must invest in to drive such outcomes. To explore this topic, we ground this study on a theory-driven conceptualisation of big data analytics based on the resource-based view (RBV) of the firm. Based on this conceptualisation, we examine the fit between the big data analytics resources that underpin the notion, and their interplay with organisational contextual factors in driving a firm's incremental and radical process innovation capabilities. Survey data from 202 chief information officers and IT managers working in Norwegian firms are analysed by means of fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). Results show that under different combinations of contextual factors the significance of big data analytics resources varies, with specific configurations leading to high levels of incremental and radical process innovation capabilities.

“…Process innovation is to improve product quality and production processes by modifying the equipment, process standards, material input, workflow, etc., used in the manufacture or delivery of a product or service [18]. To increase productivity and production quality, decrease production costs, and solve the problem of the "how to produce" challenge [32,33].…”

Innovation is an investment in future growth and development, and it is critical for family businesses to maintain a competitive advantage. Different types of innovation inputs have different uncertainties, advantages, and risks. Product innovation and process innovation are two distinct types of innovation that necessitate significantly different organizational resource allocation and risk taking. Ownership is the source of decision-making authority, and the dispersion of intra-family ownership influence goal preferences, risk taking, and resource allocation. We investigate the effect of intra-family ownership dispersion on the decision preferences of two unique types of innovation inputs by distinguishing between product and process innovations. The greater the concentration of ownership within the family, the more likely it is that the proportion of product innovation input is higher than the proportion of process innovation input. We further discuss the moderating effects of both the proportion of family directors and collective decision-making mode on the different innovation input decisions by family firms. Using a sample of 882 Chinese small- and medium-sized family firms from the 2015 All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, we find support for these proposed relationships. The implications of these findings extend to both family business and innovation research.

“…Within the category of 'networking', there are various interactions with different stakeholders, such as universities, research centers, industrial and professional associations, consultants, service providers, suppliers, and consumers [61,63,[68][69][70]. The category of 'knowledge and technologies' deals with 'how knowledge/technology is acquired' by an economic entity, consisting of both formal and informal acquisitions and taking various forms.…”

Other than serving as the introduction to this special issue, this paper looks at the question of how an underdeveloped or a developing economic entity can manage to acquire the knowledge and ability to overcome various barriers, be they social, cultural, or institutional, to establish its desired momentum of self-sustained growth. It addresses the question by surveying relevant literatures, first, about what factors, both internal and external, positively determine the innovativeness of an economic entity; and second, regarding what steps are necessary for an underdeveloped or a developing entity to engineer its momentum of self-sustained growth and for an established entity to maintain its existing momentum. By doing so, we demonstrate the theoretical significance and practical importance of this issue and the works contained in this issue.
