“…If the collaborative interaction fails, the innovation system can become fragmented, which is particularly pernicious when it is composed of SMEs with limited access to external knowledge (Koschatzky, 2002). According to recent studies, university-industry collaborative KT networks should be promoted (Ferrer-Serrano et al , 2021; Mao et al , 2020) based on the development necessities of each industry and region (Fuster et al , 2019).…”

Purpose Knowledge transfer (KT) has been attracting significant attention from the scientific community. The need to establish collaborative network relationships to achieve effective KT has led to a large volume of studies that attempt to identify how collaborative networks influence KT processes. However, papers, which link KT and networks have not been systematised. This study aims to provide an overview of this academic field and sets an agenda for future research. Design/methodology/approach The authors followed the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses method to conduct a systematic review of the literature published in 2000–2020. The authors sourced the sample from the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The authors screened the references under the management and business categories that were published in the first two quartiles of the Journal Citation Report. This search returned 190 impactful papers across the 53 journals that were analysed. Findings The authors present the main results in two sections. First, this paper elaborates a conceptual model of the field; second, the authors review KT between firms and other agents, which allows us to identify KT flows within and between companies, universities and public institutions. Originality/value This paper provides the first systematic review of collaborative networks and KT. Five areas of action are identified for future research and are specified in several research questions. The authors also provide several practical implications. In a world in which more and more dynamic agents coexist, it is important to be aware of the needs of organisations that create and disseminate specific knowledge.

“…The core element on the TH framework is a series of trans-institutional agreements as well as the promotion of a mindset focused on knowledge-based collaboration amongst universities, industries and government, not centered on boundaries between producers and users of knowledge, but rather on strategies to increase synergy and facilitate institutional cooperation towards open innovation (Champenois & Etzkowitz, 2018;Etzkowitz et al, 2019;Ferrer-Serrano et al, 2021;Sørensen & Hu, 2014).…”

“…Moreover, it stands as a pivotal domain within studies on innovation and entrepreneurship, while enterprises increasingly engage in global ventures to access new markets and foster innovative practices (Ferreira, Fernandes, & Veiga, 2023;Theodoraki & Catanzaro, 2021). Notably, internationalization intersects with the Triple and Quadruple Helix Theories, accentuating collaborative efforts amongst government, industry, academia, and society, whilst extending these collaborations to a global scale (Champenois & Etzkowitz, 2018;Etzkowitz et al, 2019;Ferrer-Serrano, Latorre-Martinez & Fuentelsaz, 2021;Sørensen & Hu, 2014). Furthermore, it serves as a fundamental element in various business ecosystem (BE) studies, providing a comprehensive understanding of the intricate interplay amongst local and global stakeholders (Cha, Kotabe, & Wu, 2023;Hewett, Hult, Mantrala, Nim, & Pedada, 2022;Zeng, Khan, & Silva, 2019).…”

Objective: The research proposes an original theoretical framework to explain the nature, uniqueness, and dynamics of the Internationalization Ecosystem (INT-E), streamlining the integration of contemporary International Business (IB) theories into an ecosystemic perspective. Method: A systematic literature review (SLR) was carried out to identify the different types of studies focused on internationalization from an ecosystemic perspective, followed by a thematic analysis, which determined the framework’s key conceptual constructs. Main Results: An INT-E framework was conceptualized, integrating business, entrepreneurial, innovation, and platform ecosystems, extracting pivotal elements to enhance its theoretical and practical dimensions within the realm of IB studies. Relevance/Originality: The INT-E concept is underexplored in IB literature, especially in an ecosystemic context. It is typically seen as part of broader ecosystems like entrepreneurship or digital platforms, but here a new conceptual perspective is proposed, opening avenues for further inquiry. Theoretical / Methodological Contributions: Theoretically, by conceiving the INT-E framework, the research encourages the pursuit of studies on ecosystem integration and replication, which is still incipient in most IB literature. Methodologically, the application of the thematic analysis enhances the qualitative aspect of studies in IB theory. Social / Managerial Contributions: The framework serves as a tool for enhancing internationalization strategies across various dimensions, including export promotion, foreign direct investment (FDI) attraction and ecosystem integration.

“…For example, the transition to a low-carbon economy has already impacted CO 2 -intensive industries that are heavily reliant on fossil fuels (Shao et al, 2022), such as the energy, transportation, and manufacturing sectors. With increasing warnings about wildfires, destabilized glaciers, major droughts, or historic heat waves, nevertheless, international agreements and national regulations are making it critical for many other firms to compete and seize opportunities in a carbon-constrained economy (Ferrer-Serrano et al, 2021;Le on-Mateos et al, 2021). In fact, firms that fail to adapt their resources and capabilities to mitigate climate-related risks and create new sources of value are at risk of losing their competitive advantage and falling behind their competitors.…”

Adapting corporations to climate change: How decarbonization impacts the business strategy–performance nexus

et al. 2023

Today's conventional wisdom on competitive strategies advanced at a time when climate change was not an issue. However, increasing requirements for decarbonization may be affecting the soundness of well‐established knowledge, which includes the effect of competitive strategies on performance. Based on 15 years (2005–2019) of panel data on 1264 publicly traded corporations from 34 countries, we find that carbon abatement positively moderates the relation between the intensity of a cost‐leadership strategy and ROA, ROE, and Tobin's Q. A post hoc analysis also reveals, nevertheless, that this requires firms to show a minimum level of cost‐reduction expertise before they can consider harnessing decarbonization for the same purposes. By contrast, the effect of decarbonization on the differentiation–performance nexus only improves for Tobin's Q, thus reflecting their difficulty to monetize climate change efforts in the short term. Overall, these findings not only allow revitalizing a rather stuck literature on competitive strategies and performance but also inform managers about when and why they can expect to achieve decarbonization for free with current competitive strategies.
