Agglomeration and flow of innovation elements and the impact on regional innovation efficiency

The Impact of Data Agglomeration on Export Structure Upgrading in Cities: A Factor Mobility Perspective

“…We therefore propose the following hypothesis: Innovation resources contain a variety of variables, such as human capital, capital, technology, and data, providing an objective representation of the market's multiple resources. The agglomeration of innovation resources serves as a crucial impetus for enhancing both production and economic efficiency, facilitating the transformation of industrial structure and promoting economic development (Fan et al, 2023). Although the data is not directly involved in the production of materials and products, the agglomeration and sharing of data can shorten the production and circulation processes of innovative production factors such as capital and talent, promote optimal resource allocation, and enhance the efficiency of matching innovative production factors (Peng & Tao, 2022).…”

Sustainability-oriented Innovation: Crucial Sources to Achieve Competitiveness

“…With respect to the existing studies carried out in the Czech Republic and Slovakia (Hitka et al, 2019;Zygmunt, 2019; or abroad (for example Hanaysha et al, 2021;Haichao et al, 2023), it can be concluded that the most important source of information for innovation activities in organizations is information from employees, followed by that from customers, competitors, suppliers, and purchasers. It is somewhat surprising that despite the growing influence of universities, colleges, and research organizations in the field of innovation and innovation practices, the management of organizations only slowly begins to collaborate with scientific institutions and increase their involvement in innovation.…”

“…Innovation based on knowledge (Wu and Hu, 2018;Salunke et al, 2019;Hanaysha et al, 2021;Haichao et al, 2023) and sustainable development principles (Geissdoerfer et al, 2018;Pieroni et al, 2019;Ullah et al, 2021;Meadows et al, 2022) currently represents the areas on which business and the economy of individual organizations, as well as countries, should be based (Kiron et al, 2013;Grinza and Quatraro, 2019). Every organization must be resilient to negative influences from the external environment and build on the organization's strengths (Hanaysha et al, 2021;Haichao et al, 2023), effectively using opportunities including the results of research and innovation capacity and with focus on digital trends in innovation (Cheng et al, 2021;Opland et al, 2022). This is also confirmed by the development of the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the economic, personnel, and process implications faced by organizations (Lee and Trimi, 2021).…”

“…Organizations need to realize how to support sustainability as well as satisfy growing customer expectations, emphasizing the fact that the sustainability of organizations is threatened by new risks associated with, for example, the COVID-19 pandemic, continuous legislative changes, business and financial risks, natural disasters resulting from climate changes, and many others. The majority of innovative organizations present sustainability as their competitive advantage and it enhances their competitiveness (Prokop et al, 2017;Liao, 2018;Grinza and Quatraro, 2019;Lenihan et al, 2019;Srisathan et al, 2020;Opland et al, 2021;Haichao et al, 2023). This is because innovation supports the improvement and efficiency of processes and products (Bocken et al, 2014;Adams et al, 2016;Corstjens et al, 2019;Grinza and Quatraro, 2019).…”
