“…The relationship between sustainable innovation and stakeholder participation is receiving increased scholarly attention (see, e.g., Ayuso, Ángel Rodríguez, García-Castro, & Ángel Ariño, 2011;De Chiara, 2017;Jorna, 2017). In particular, several studies have utilized stakeholder engagement to define the most relevant aspects for inclusion in the assessment of sustainable innovation (see Gillund, Myhr, Utskarpen, & Hilbeck, 2016;Popper, Popper, & Velasco, 2017).…”

International institutions are calling for a transition towards more sustainable systems of production and consumption. In this transition, sustainable innovations are expected to play an ever-increasing role. In particular, the production of innovative bio-based products-products wholly or partly derived from biological materials or from innovative production processes and/or innovative biomass such as food waste or forest residuals-will be part of this process. However, the sustainability of such products must be assured along their entire life cycle and across the three dimensions mentioned above. Against this background, our study aimed at identifying a social impact framework tailored to bio-based products. It employed a two-step methodological framework encompassing (a) identification of the relevant social impact categories, subcategories, and indicators and (b) validation of these factors, according to participatory stakeholder involvement. The validation exercise enabled us to consider a restricted number of social indicators so as to reduce the amount of data needed for assessing and decreasing related costs.

“…More fundamentally, the returns manifest in job creation and stimulation of infrastructure development and technology transfer as foreign markets keep demanding and importing goods and services. In general, the gold jewellery industry has had tremendous industrial processing innovations, which means that the sector has over time evolved to adopt modern and sophisticated technology-based precision processing of the products in a world that has become competitive [19]. For instance, gold jewellery products from China and India, including 'imitations', are produced with high-technology precision, and are globally competitive in the same international markets, such as Europe and the United States of America [20][21][22].…”

The gold jewellery industry is a lucrative sector. It operates within global consumer international networks. The underpinning models of internationalisation of gold jewellery from a theoretical standpoint, are key in comprehending export competitiveness potential. This means that for any company and country to achieve success, they ought to have competitive dominance in the export market, driven by a particular model. This study established that the main trends that characterise gold jewellery exports are underpinned by an aggressive internalisation thrust, which should be supported by market consolidation; market growth; a new channel landscape to push through the products; market consumption trends, absorption capacity, and global fast-fashion demand of gold jewellery. It emerged in this study, that the gold jewellery sector in Johannesburg has many dynamics that affect the ability of gold jewellery exporters to be competitive on the international market. There is a need to implement internationalisation strategies that include the creation of market linkages, standardisation and adaptation of products and services to the changing global market environment. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of the internationalisation models, adopted by jewellery exporters in Johannesburg. The study used both theoretical and empirical data, obtained from the sector. The key finding from the study is that gold jewellery remains one of the most important export commodities in growing economies, such as South Africa. Exports bring the much-needed foreign currency, yet the sector in Johannesburg has very few corporates and individually owned businesses that are connected to the international markets to optimally exploit the opportunities in this sector. Using the mixed review methodology and empirical field data, the study offers propositions to enhance export competitiveness for companies, operating in developing countries.

Drawing on the Conservation of Resources and Social Exchange Theories, this study examines the relationship between employee engagement for innovation (EEI) and innovative performance (IP) through discretionary efforts (DE) and knowledge sharing (KS). We collected data from 202 peer dyads of 15 universities in Pakistan and used SmartPLS 4 for hypotheses testing. Results indicated a significant positive relationship between EEI, DE, KS and IP. In contrast, mediation mechanism via DE and KS did not show the expected mediation effects. This outcome can be attributed to the unique socio-cultural context in which we collected the data. This work focussed on employees working in a collectivist culture within a patriarchal society, where traditional hierarchical structures and values influence the dynamics between EEI, DE, KS and IP. We also discuss the theoretical and practical implications and the directions for future research.
