In today's current business world, innovation management has discovered a significant competitive edge. ISO 56002:2019 Innovation Management System is a key to standing out from the competition with this newest international standard. The ISO 56002:2019 guiding framework assists businesses in improving their capacity to manage innovation activities, adapt to volatility, enhance consumer satisfaction, involve and motivate staff, and boost corporate reputation and revenue. The purpose of this paper is to describe and introduce the ISO 56002 standard as the landscape of providing an effective innovation management system to achieve sustainable development, as well as their relationship. As a result, this research investigates a theoretical method to show the link between these three notions. According to the findings of the study, companies should be worried about implementing the new ISO 56002 standard, especially if they already have the ISO9001 quality management system in place, to accelerate the innovation process. Organizations must also have a robust innovation system to implement the pillars of sustainable development.

“…As a result, because foreign businesses are more conscientious about addressing environmental issues (Al-mulali et al 2015), FDI is regarded as a key means of transferring technology to host countries (Abdouli and Hammami 2017) and a new way of generating more eco-innovation activities to reduce CO2 emissions, improve the environment in the host economy and achieve sustainable development goals. Furthermore, several scholars demonstrated that FDI reduces pollution by fostering eco-innovation ( Drumea and Mirela 2015;Zugravu-Soilita 2017). As a result, FDI has a screening influence on the development of eco-innovation activities, which is crucial to understanding how eco-innovation will affect carbon emissions in the MENA region and addressing climate change matters.…”

Sustainable development is affected by environmental problems and climate change, which are frequently attributed to economic growth. Greener economies, therefore, rely heavily on technological advancements. Environmental conditions keep deteriorating despite increasing eco-innovations and foreign investments in most developing nations. Consequently, it is crucial to connect these constructs to the sustainable development goals (SDGs) to address climate hazards, reduce poverty, and achieve a sustainable transition while maintaining economic growth. In this paper, we use the geographic Durbin model to examine the effects of economic growth on carbon emissions while connecting the SDGs for nine countries in the Middle East and North African region during the last 20 years. Second, the paper investigates the mediation effect of eco-innovation-related SDGs. Third, this article uses the spatial stepwise regression model to explore the moderating function of FDI-related SDGs on the mediation model. The findings of this paper are that: (i) Economic growth positively impacts carbon emissions that derail the realization of the various SDGs. (ii) Eco-innovation-related SDGs mediate the relationship between economic growth and carbon emissions; (iii) FDI-related SDGs have a dual moderating effect on the mediation model. This research advances our understanding of how the variables mentioned above maximize the efforts geared towards mitigating climate stressors and reducing poverty in pursuit of attaining a desired future.

“…The competitiveness of economies depends on the ability to create new technologies and use them to create new products and innovative solutions (Drumea & Mirela, 2015). Global issues, such as environmental challenges, can be most efficiently tackled when applied research is promoted by revenue received from licensed intellectual property.…”

For a successful economy, the interaction between research and its application in practice plays a key role. The aim of this paper is to analyze the institutional factors of patent activity at universities in the Czech Republic. The following five factors were selected for detailed investigation: budget from government, number of employees: professors, associate professor, and assistant professor, number of researchers and other employees, number of students (PhD, master, and bachelor), technology transfer workers. The patent activity analysis used methods of retrospective data analysis in the field of R&D activities, unstructured interviews, and statistical data processing. Following from the basic characteristics of the collected data, patent activity is related to the nature of universities, where technical universities are in leading positions in the monitored period of industrial-legal protection. However, the importance of encouraging innovation activity across all disciplines is crucial. The result of monitoring the dependency shows that a relationship of efficiencies and patent output is influenced by the size of a university. Secondly, there can be observed that technology transfer efficiency contributes more to the patent output that research staff efficiency.
