“…Finally, the results further support the need for more studies to focus on the soft factors that influence their innovation capabilities (e.g. Hoflinger et al, 2018;Ali et al, 2018). The findings carry several implications: 1) for gambling operators', advertising and marketing efforts for greater online consumer engagement need to focus on wider social messaging; 2) for industry regulators, service users should not be homogenized as gamblers given the clear and significant differences in psychological determinants between online and offline platforms; 3) for policy makers, the findings may be used to better address problem gamblers.…”

“…The low-cost and ease of product development, alongside the easily accessible nature of these services for consumers, have reduced the traditional barriers lone entrepreneurs previously met when entering markets. The product type and incremental nature of development has fostered creative development (Rajapathirana, 2018), however organizations still need to understand the micro-level elements of their environment to innovate appropriately (Ali et al, 2018). A holistic understanding involves a comprehensive view of the internal and external factors influencing technology development and diffusion (Ferraris et al, 2017).…”

This study explores the psychological factors that influence market diffusion of popular culture digital services. Digital service websites have been diffusing through global markets with relative ease, but the factors influencing this are not well understood. The transition from the brick and mortar services to a digital outlet represents a form of market disruption but the way that this impacts the consumer experience and the way firms engage in innovation are not fully understood, nor are the various cognitive factors driving the adoption rates. There is a need to understand cognitions that influence intent to engage, as well as the perceptions of the social environment in which the service offering occurs. Therefore, we offer an examination of different social contexts (US and UK) to explore the impact of certain attitudes and norms towards online gambling consumption. The results of study demonstrate how variations between online and offline environments impact consumer adoption and market diffusion. Additionally, the results further support the need for more studies to focus on the soft factors that influence their innovation capabilities.

“…Knowledge acquisition and assimilation (i.e., PACAP) shapes a firm's capability to value and capture external knowledge, but does not guarantee itself the exploitation of this knowledge. On the other hand, knowledge transformation and exploitation (i.e., RACAP) reflects the firm's capability to leverage the recently absorbed knowledge [55].…”

Potential and Realized Absorptive Capacity as Complementary Drivers of Green Product and Process Innovation Performance

et al. 2018

Nowadays, companies need to absorb new knowledge from external sources to grasp environmental issues. However, the internal mechanisms through which external knowledge is turned into green innovations remain scarcely addressed. Hence, this paper aims to investigate the relationships between the two dimensions of absorptive capacity (potential and realized) with green products and process innovation performance. This study contributes to the literature by disentangling how companies need to acquire, assimilate, transform and exploit external environmental knowledge to develop green innovations. To this aim, this empirical study is based on a sample shaped by 112 firms belonging to the Spanish automotive components manufacturing sector. The results provide evidence to show that potential and realized absorptive capacities are positively related to both green product innovation performance and green process innovation performance.

“…Given the nature of the data used in the empirical analysis, we have to recognise and deal with two major econometric problems: the unobservable heterogeneity and the endogeneity problems (Arellano, 2002). Constant and unobservable heterogeneity refers to specific characteristics of each firm that remain invariant over time such as the firm's managerial style, attitude toward risk, internal policies, or organisational design, among others (Ali et al, 2018 Torres & Augusto, 2017). Since these characteristics are unobservable, they become part of the random component in the estimated model.…”

This article analyses the impact of ownership structure features and institutional settings on real activities manipulation. The analysis is based on a sample of listed companies in the underexplored Latin American market for the period of 2004-2016. Paneldata-based G.M.M. System Estimation is used in the empirical analysis. The results confirm that the monitoring role of the majority owner is crucial in mitigating managerial opportunistic behaviour. Here, opportunistic behaviour refers to engaging in real activities manipulation that reduces the informative content of financial statements. However, analysis of insider ownership revealed that managers had a negative impact on transparency. We observed that as insider ownership increases, managers engage more actively in real earnings management. We also find that the institutional ownership and the quality of the regulatory system proved to be effective mechanisms in reducing real activities manipulation. ARTICLE HISTORY
