“…Subsequently, developing a strategic structure and controlling standards surrounded around a 'citizen-driven' view is an imperative central component of Smart City rationale. Smart Urban communities can be a critical building square of a technology and innovation plan; however, this demands a suitable approach and system (Chen et al 2018).…”

Background: Managers in companies often do not know about modern techniques and design tools for creating technological and innovation processes, and about the possibility of their usage for effective management and decision-making.Aim: This study seeks to establish if there are eminent gaps in managing sustainable competitive advantage (SCA) through technology and innovation systems, and its impacts on service delivery in influencing business survival in an unprecedented and unavoidable competitive business world environment, and to build up the impact of these gaps on business performance.Setting: It is essential to have a realistic vision and practical approaches to the management of technology and innovation for SCA and goal-oriented objectives for city governments.Methods: This study examines applicable and accessible literature whilst using a secondary research analysis methodology to examine the objectives and research issues of the investigation.Results: It is concluded that managing technology and innovation for SCA is not a means to an end, but a set of tools and strategies to ensure proper service delivery to the people and communities.Conclusion: This research study endeavours to provide a significant positive impact to business success and additionally, for the improvement of technology and innovation of an organisation. A fundamental issue for industrialisation and governments is the need to support innovation and change amongst industry individuals with a specific end goal to build efficiency and upgrade the business’ competitive position.

“…For example, a four‐dimensional perspective and classification was used on industrial technology innovation, namely Technology Opportunities , Appropriability (which clearly connected to patented technologies), Cumulativeness , and Divergent Portfolio , more crucial than traditionally defined industries. Such investigation is vital if one looks into cities in China, as technology capacity and innovation power are highly developed from cities, especially, when city‐based comparison is divided via southern versus northern, as well as coastal versus inland, such quality‐based gaps may occur (refer to Chen, Li, Niu, Hilpert, & Hunstock, 2018).…”

Regional technology characters (TCs) are studied in this paper to find whether innovation in Chinese cities leads to technology converging, or technology divergence, in both the intra-city and inter-city scales, with which regional economic development strength may be better explained. Based on a literature review on the subject, a two-dimensional research framework and relevant technical lens are designed to clarify TC in cities composed of parameters on Technology Strength (TS) versus Technology Angle (TA). By applying Principle Component Analysis, a technical lens is made possible based on extracted parameters on three integrated technology dimensions for measuring TSs and TAs over 117 Chinese sample cities with invention patent data covering 21 technology field between 2005/2006 and 2015/2016. Technology convergence versus divergence are examined for 28/24 sample cities beyond average score, and the research findings indicate that technology divergence in Chinese cities can be confirmed at the inter-city level, even partially at the intra-city level. This finding holds for most sample cities with fairly large and modest TSs, while intra-city technology converging is significant, especially for larger sized TS samples, however they also differ on different dimensions. This may imply that urban economic development in China is technical based and differentiated. 1632 | CHEN Et al. 1 | INTRODUCTION TO REGIONAL-BASED TECHNOLOGY DIVERSIFICATION STUDIES Technology diversification can lead to lots of advantages (Markides, 1997), previously shown mostly at the company level. Research has been conducted to indicate that firms diversifying their technological bases can exploit economies of scope in R&D and technological knowledge, in terms of diversifying key knowledge resource across multiple product lines (Miller, 2006; Panzar & Willig, 1977; Teece, 1982), which clearly implies that the advantages are mainly on diversified use of the technologies. Another advantage of technology diversification can be shown with the technical ecosystem view, as technological diversification (spreading resources generated from different technological fields) allows firms (and similarly groups of firms in certain regions) to reduce their risks from their R&D input and to enhance adaptability to the fast-changing technological environment (Garcia-Vega, 2006). This trend is especially true under the emerging and prevailing trends of technological fusion since 1990's in many high-tech sectors such as in telecommunications, chemicals and biotechnologies, and auto-industries (Gambardella & Torrisi, 1998; Suzuki & Kodama, 2004). This ecosystem perspective, however, is different from the former one which is only focusing on effectively use of limited technology resource. This latter concern is especially suited to regional level studies, where the issue emphasized from rather different vision-varieties and volume of technology resources are the key for supporting regional innovation in ecological sense and in qualitative economy terms.

“…To date, the issues of studying the innovativeness in the regions of countries have concerned China [17][18][19][20], Japan [21,22], Spain [23], Russia [24], Australia [25] and Germany [26,27], among other places. In the case of Poland, on the other hand, the re-search to date has only covered issues related to the impact of human capital associated with the innovation of regions [28], as well as assessing the innovativeness of Peripheral Regions of Eastern Poland [29] or its impact on Growth and Stagnation Regions in Poland [30].…”

The growing and expanding zone of the free-market economy results in increasing competition in the global market, which leads companies to seek and implement solutions that will give them a competitive advantage. The authorities of countries and regions are also increasingly involved in this process, seeing it as an opportunity to develop and build a knowledge-based economy. One of the main factors improving competitiveness and providing opportunities for development is innovation, particularly developed at the local level. For this reason, activities that support research and development of innovation at the regional level are increasingly appreciated and gain greater importance. This article refers to regional innovation in Poland by analyzing its level between 2010 and 2020. The basis of the analysis was 15 selected indicators characterizing three dimensions related to the innovative development of regions, namely innovative capacity, innovative position, and economic development. This assessment was regarded as a multi-criteria problem, for which the CODAS method was used. Its application made it possible to achieve the main objective of this paper, which was to determine the level of innovation of studied regions and, on this basis, to create their ranking. In addition, the evaluation of the level of innovation of the regions for each of the analyzed dimensions was also carried out, and the relationship between the level of economic development and the capacity and innovative position of the regions was specified. The measure for evaluating the level of innovation, for each case studied, was the value of the Hi index, taken as a synthetic measure of regional innovation. The results show that the level of innovation for the regions in Poland varies widely as a function of time as well as the location of these regions. Differences in the dynamics of change and different levels of development of the analyzed dimensions characterizing innovation are evident. The results provide new knowledge in the field of regional development and should be used when creating a regional development strategy for individual regions, Poland, and the EU.
