“…It also realized the reverse transfer of knowledge and technology by sending managers, engineers, and other R&D talents abroad and improving product development ability and innovation abilities. Finally, for enterprises aiming to enter overseas markets, R&D internationalization is conducive to enterprises' deeper integration into the supply chain and product market of the host country [6]. The interaction with local suppliers will help multinational enterprises learn from foreign advanced technology concepts and models, and then promote enterprise learning and applied innovation.…”

“…Multinational enterprises' R&D internationalization activities can increase the reverse knowledge spillovers obtained by enterprises from the host country and help enterprises identify, absorb and integrate external knowledge of enterprises [6]. With the increasing R&D internationalization degree, enterprises can have more overseas R&D subsidiaries, and the links between overseas R&D subunits will be closer.…”

“…In view of the different conclusions on the relationship between R&D internationalization and innovation performance, scholars further explored the moderating effect of relevant situational factors on the relationship between them. Li, et al (2021) [6] found that market competition will have a moderating effect on the relationship between R&D internationalization and innovation. Sommer and Bhandari (2022) [7] found that experience in conducting R&D internationally will adjust the relationship between their R&D internationalization and innovation performance.…”

R&D internationalization is an important way for enterprises in emerging economies to achieve technology catch-up and maintain sustainable development. The direct relationship between R&D internationalization and innovation performance has been widely explored, but the research on the influence of the mechanism between these two elements above is relatively less. This paper takes China's knowledge-intensive listed enterprises from 2009 to 2015 as the research object and uses Poisson fixed effect regression, hierarchical regression, and bootstrap methods to study the mechanism of knowledge base between enterprise R&D internationalization and innovation performance and the moderating effects of institutional distance on the mechanism effect. The results show that:(1) Enterprises' innovation performance can be promoted with the increase of R&D internationalization degree and diversity. (2) Knowledge Base (scope and entropy) plays a mechanism function between R&D internationalization and innovation performance. (3) By negatively moderating the relationship between the knowledge base and innovation performance, the institutional distance between home and host country negatively moderates the knowledge base's mechanism function.

Purpose There is rising interest in Industry 4.0 as a factor in the competitiveness of the organization. Although many companies are aware of the importance of Industry 4.0, the development of such initiatives in Colombia is slow. Consequently, this research investigates the impact of additive technologies as part of the Industry 4.0 concept on operational effectiveness and, therefore, the competitiveness of the organization and tries to establish the factors that hinder the adequate implementation of such new, innovative technologies. Design/Methodology/Approach Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the antecedents and outcomes of operational effectiveness. To this end, 946 usable questionnaires were collected from managers and personnel from Colombian organizations. Findings Initial findings show that management is aware of Industry 4.0 concepts and implements strategies for such initiatives. Nevertheless, neither process innovation nor additive technologies have a significant impact on operational effectiveness and therefore on the competitiveness of the organization. Practical implications The implementation of new innovative technologies requires the closure of the digital gap between urban and rural areas and between large and medium and small enterprises. Similarly, the concept of Industry 4.0 as a new, innovative manufacturing concept requires a transversal implementation to increase the competitiveness of the organization. Originality/Value The value of this paper lies in discussing the current technological and human capabilities and strategies that Colombian organizations, as an example of a developing nation, should improve to leverage the benefits of Industry 4.0 to remain competitive. The results are probably generalizable to other regions in developing countries throughout the world.

“…Similarly, innovation is essential for organizations to create competitive advantages over competitors ( Saqib and Satar, 2021 ). Thus, many global firms invest millions of dollars annually in innovation and research and development activities ( Li et al, 2021 ). Despite technological developments, many innovations fail, while few firms successfully market innovations that contribute to revenue and growth.…”

Firm innovation activities and consumer brand loyalty: A path to business sustainability in Asia

BackgroundIn recent years, technological advancements have increased the importance of innovation activities. Therefore, firms invest millions of dollars in innovation activities to ensure long-term business sustainability. Similarly, consumer concerns have increased dramatically over the past years. Thus, brand loyalty has become a top priority for firms and consumers. In this background, this research examines how firms’ innovation activities translate into consumer brand loyalty to assure business sustainability in Asian markets, particularly China, Pakistan, and Indonesia.ObjectivesThis study’s specific objectives are to comprehend the concept of firms’ innovation activities and their effect on the brand prototype. Examine the effect of the brand prototype on global brand preference, recommendation, and loyalty among Asian consumers. Find out the impact of brand preference on brand recommendations and the influence of brand recommendations on brand loyalty among Asian consumers.Materials and methodsA total of 814 consumers from Asian countries (China, Pakistan, and Indonesia) participated in this study, and structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data.ResultsThe findings indicate that firms’ innovation activities, such as processes, products, and store environment, positively influenced the brand prototype, thereby increasing consumer brand knowledge. Likewise, brand prototype contributes to developing brand preference, brand recommendation, and brand loyalty among Asian consumers. Lastly, consumer brand preference significantly influenced brand recommendation, which positively improves consumer brand loyalty in Asia.ConclusionThis study concluded that Asian (Chinese, Pakistani, and Indonesian) consumers have favorable perceptions of firms’ innovation activities (i.e., process, product, and store environment innovation), which influences their ability to develop brand prototypes to increase consumer brand knowledge. Similarly, brand prototype fosters brand preference, recommendation, and loyalty. Likewise, favorable brand preference encourages consumers to recommend the brand to others, strengthening brand loyalty. Thus, firms should invest in innovation activities to strengthen consumer brand loyalty in Asian markets. Consequently, this study may assist multinational corporations in increasing their business volumes and market shares in Asia.Managerial recommendationsThis study provides important managerial recommendations. The findings revealed that global managers can develop and implement several branding strategies for sustaining their businesses in the Asian environment.
