“…Sales performance was measured considering the percentage of sales growth due to innovative products (Katila, 2002;Belderbos, Carree, & Lokshin, 2004;Wu, Wu, & Si, 2016;Lee, Joo & Kim, 2017;Sarpong & Teirlinck, 2018), the extent of achievement of sales objectives (Atuahene-Gima & Wei, 2011), and percentage of turnover of innovative products (Kobarg, Stumpf-Wollersheim, & Welpe, 2017;Maria, Freitas, & Fontana, 2017).…”

Objective: The article presents the analysis of measures and scales of product innovation performance adopted in studies on micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Methodology/approach: It is an exploratory and qualitative descriptive research. The methodology consists of a systematic bibliographic review, examining articles from the Capes database, published from 1990 to December 2020. Main results: The research identified 92 articles addressing product innovation performance. Objective measures (proxies) were used in 41 of them, while 51 adopted psychometric scales. Among the studies analyzed, 7 different psychometric scales were developed to measure product innovation performance in SMEs. Theoretical/methodological contributions: The growing research on the importance of innovation management in SMEs emphasizes the need to measure the performance of organizations’ actions to innovate. However, the measures adopted to assess product innovation performance still diverge regarding the form, involving different variables. This research’s findings intend to direct researchers to appropriated measures in studies involving SMEs. Relevance/originality: The concern on product innovation has grown in recent years especially due to the urgent need for innovation. In this context, it is crucial to expand the knowledge on tools to analyze product innovation performance. Social/management contributions: The article offers information and tools for SME managers to analyze the measurement of product innovation performance.

“…Online collaboration refers to an interdependent group of individuals who collaborate across space, time, and geographic boundaries, using the Internet as a medium of communication [7,8]. Today, an increasing number of teams rely on computer-supported cooperative work to exchange ideas across regions and coordinate different tasks [9,10]. The concept of computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) was first used to describe how computer systems support human collaborative activities [11].…”

(1) Background: Traditional one-to-one online consultations with doctors often fail to provide timely and accurate treatment plans; consequently, creating cross-hospital and cross-regional teams has become a new pattern for doctors aiming to offer Internet medical services. Because the online doctor team is a new virtual organizational model, it remains to be explained and investigated. (2) Methods: Combining the information processing view and the social categorization view, this study takes the perspective of team diversity and empirically investigates the effect of team diversity on team performance. We consider four kinds of team diversity, including status capital diversity, decision capital diversity, online reputation diversity, and professional knowledge diversity, and we investigate how team composition from the diversity perspective affects online doctor team performance and how leader reputation moderates the effect of team diversity on team performance. We use secondary data from a leading online medical consultation platform in China (Good Doctor), and our research data include 1568 teams with a total of 5481 doctors. (3) Results: The results show that status capital diversity and decision capital diversity negatively affect team performance; diversity in terms of online reputation and professional knowledge positively affect team performance; and leader reputation moderates the impact of status capital diversity and online reputation on team performance. (4) Conclusions: Our study offers management suggestions on how to form a high-performance doctor team and provides advice for the future development of online doctor teams.

“…In addition, some studies under the context of Chinese manufacturing industry show that structural embeddedness produces additional information, control, reputational benefits, and strong tie relationships (Brashears & Eric, 2018;Lyu, Liu, He, & Nie, 2017). Wu, Wu, and Si (2016) also point out that frequent social interactions create a favorable atmosphere that may reduce hazards and cultivate trust relationships. Based on the above theoretical results, we hypothesize that Hypothesis 2 (H2): Structural embeddedness is positively related to inter-organizational trust-building within an industrial cluster.…”

Despite the considerable amount of research regarding trust as one of the most important characters and competitive advantages for an industrial cluster, few empirical studies have examined whether geographic proximity still leads to higher levels of trust in the current Internet era. This article explores this issue of trust from a network embeddedness perspective. Based on the data from Zhongshan gas appliance cluster, we employ structural equation modeling to examine the extent to which relational embeddedness, structural embeddedness, and positional embeddedness have any impact on trust-building in the cluster. Our findings reveal that high clique trust and low aggregate trust coexist in the cluster, showing that the effect of geographical proximity on trust has been weakened and is no longer a sufficient condition for trust-building. This study also gives some suggestions on how to improve the trust within a cluster through network governance.Lez Rayman-Bacchus is a research follow in the Business School, University of Winchester, United Kingdom. He also founded the Centre for Corporate Responsibility at London Metropolitan University, and the international symposium on Corporate Responsibility and Sustainable Development. His research interests include the practice of strategy and international management, currently focused on Chinese SME attitudes and behavior in industrial network clusters, and that of Middle Eastern businesses. He has a background in both industry and academia. He spent more than 15 years with high technology multinational companies working in business development and marketing, before moving into research and teaching on strategy, corporate responsibility and sustainability, corporate ethics, and corporate governance. He has published more than about 30 papers as well as one academic book.GuangMing Xiang is pursuing master's degree in finance at the School of Management and Economics in UESTC.
