“…For instance, insight into the manifestation of virtuality can aid ecosystem orchestrators in developing the resilience of an innovation ecosystem (Könnölä et al 2021). Fourth, and lastly, assessing degrees of virtuality across innovation ecosystems can prove as a valuable criterion for evaluative instruments in policy-making, and eventually, inform decisions to enhance digital infrastructures (Lynn et al 2022).…”

“…Several further contextual factors and characteristics of an innovation ecosystem should be considered as antecedents of its virtuality (for a similar rationale in teams, see also Kirkman et al 2012;Kirkman/Mathieu 2005). In particular, technological infrastructure is essential for ecosystem virtuality, comprising the availability, access, and affordability of high-speed broadband networks (Lynn et al 2022).…”

Industrial management is facing many challenges, one need is to adopt sustainable practices. As climate change is becoming an increasingly urgent problem, industrial management must find ways to reduce waste and pollution, conserve natural resources, and protect the environment and employees. Industrial management also needs to embrace new technologies like virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things. These challenges are becoming more prevalent, managers and decision makers must find ways to adopt these new technologies in order to remain competitive. Furthermore, with the workforce becoming more diverse and globalized organisations have to attract and retain top talent. For industrial management it is important to create an inclusive work environment. Current research approaches from the members of the Scientific Society for Work and Business Organisation (WGAB) are presented in this book.

How Can Industrial Management Contribute to a Brighter Future?

Addressing future challenges by means of innovation requires organizations to work together to a much larger degree than today, requiring both physical (‘colocated’) and digital collaboration. This collaboration for innovation often goes beyond single organizations and results in networks of shared value creation comprising different actors such as companies, research institutions, or supporting actors. These ecosystems of innovation transcend geographical and organizational boundaries and are enabled by the use of virtual tools. Our article is set out to capture the spectrum between colocated and digital collaboration in innovation ecosystems by introducing the concept of ecosystem virtuality. Specifically, we look at the degree of technology dependence, informational value, and temporal dispersion, and propose key antecedents of ecosystem virtuality such as geographical dispersion, boundary conditions such as the level of trust among actors, and how these factors influence the innovative performance of the ecosystem. Our conceptual contribution offers a pathway to operationalize and measure the degree of colocated and digital collaboration beyond single organizations, and therefore, allows for future empirical work to investigate potential optima of virtuality in innovation ecosystems. In perspective, knowing and understanding the degree of virtual tool use among actors in an innovation ecosystem is imperative for its involved actors to find a balance when collaborating in the physical and digital world.

“…Bukht and Heeks (2018) [ 18 ], Gruber (2019) [ 19 ], and Zhou (2022) [ 20 ] both emphasize the importance of digital infrastructure in driving digital economic growth, with Gruber (2019) [ 19 ] specifically highlighting the need for policies that strengthen the intangible asset base and R&D activities. Not only the digital economy policies in Zhejiang Province, but policymakers worldwide are actively seeking to harness the potential of digital connectivity in order to drive economic growth and enhance living standards [ 21 ]. Thus, we propose the following hypothesis:…”

The digital economy is a new impetus to promote high-quality economic development. We use the policies of Zhejiang Information Economy Development Demonstration Base (IEDD) and Zhejiang Software and Information Service Industry Base (SISI) established between 2015 and 2017 to design a quasi-natural experiment. By using a panel data from 2005 to 2020 in Zhejiang and the difference-in-differences model, we test the impacts of IEDD and SISI policies on digital economy development. We find that there are significant spatial differences for digital economy in Zhejiang. IEDD and SISI policies improve the digital economy development, that is, the policy advantages can indeed be transformed into industrial advantages. The IEDD policy can promote the digital economy industry development by enhancing the digital infrastructure and financial development; SISI policy can promote the development of the digital economy industry by promoting financial development. The results of quantile regression show that the promotion effect of IEDD and SISI policies increases with the improvement of the industrial basis of regional digital economy. The results of group regression show that the IEDD policy promotes the digital economy development in counties and county-level cities of Zhejiang, and the SISI policy plays a significant role in municipal districts.
