“…Thereby, it will reduce coordination management costs and increase transaction frequency and efficiency [28]. It can be found that "talent" is an important factor for absorptive capacity to work [29]. In China, Wang also proved that talent introduction is important for enterprise innovation and development [30].…”

Innovation is the primary driving force for development and the core of green, healthy, and sustainable economic development. This paper researches the spatial effect of absorptive capacity on regional innovation capacity from the perspective of knowledge spillover. We use the seven dimensions such as R & D intensity to build an absorptive capacity index evaluation system. After statistical verification, we select the most suitable empirical model, the dynamic Spatial Durbin Model with two-way fixed effect. The empirical results show that: (1) The promotion effect of absorptive capacity on knowledge spillovers in one province has no obvious effect on innovation promotion in other provinces, especially provinces at similar economic levels. However, it tends to inhibit the innovation development of neighboring provinces. (2) The impact of absorptive capacity on promoting knowledge spillovers varies from region to region. The eastern provinces of China are not affected by the absorptive capacity of neighboring provinces. The regression results of the central and western regions are not substantially different from the full sample. This study puts forward some policy suggestions based on the empirical results. It shows that a higher absorptive capacity does not mean better performance. The Chinese government should thus promote innovation in different provinces according to the local conditions. Sustainability 2020, 12, 3021 2 of 23 Although China has already become the second largest economy in the world, its comprehensive innovation capacity is relatively weak. Up to now, there have been some problems in China's innovation development, such as imbalance and inadequacy. Population and resource mismatches and weak industrial sustainability are already prominent. The Chinese government has given long-term attention and support to innovation development. President Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed at various conferences that innovation development is urgent. The National Innovation Blue Book: China Innovation Development Report (2016) summarizes the situation: "There are two major constraints on China's innovation development. One is the insufficient use of innovation resources; the other is the insufficient economic transformation rate of innovation results." In view of the above, after consulting the relevant literature, this paper found that the two ratios are closely related to knowledge elements and absorptive capacity. Knowledge is an important factor in innovation development, and its spillover has a significant effect on sustainable economic development [1]. Absorptive capacity also plays a positive role in this process [2]. Nieto and Quevedo emphasized that only when external knowledge is absorbed is the entire spillover process complete. In addition, absorptive capacity is the key to improving spillover efficiency.[3] EgbeTokun and Savin explained that a region with high absorptive capacity can quickly transform received knowledge into expected economic output and realize benefits [4].Based on the above, thi...

“…Dooley and O'Sullivan (2001) and Lafley and Charan (2008) promoted the "learning entity" concept by arguing that in order to survive and keep growing, organizations need to constantly and successfully manage changes in the economy for their benefit and to adapt accordingly, and one of the core necessities for this is continuous innovation. Braunerhjelm, Ding, and Thulin (2018) examines the relationship between innovation and firm growth using a Swedish data set and confirm that both exploitative and explorative innovation on firms` employment growth. Existing research on entrepreneurial orientation primarily examines how entrepreneurial orientation contributes to the performance and survival rate of new ventures.…”

The main aim of this study is to explore the linkages between innovation capacity, business sophistication, and macroeconomic stability within OECD countries. In order to obtain information regarding the relationship between time series variables, the Pedroni cointegration, Kao cointegration, fully modified ordinary least square, dynamic ordinary least square, Granger causality, and Dumitrescu Hurlin causality tests are employed. The empirical results reveal that improvement in business sophistication triggers innovation capacity and support macroeconomic stability. Innovation capacity would also need to be expanded in the long-run, which positively leads to advanced business sophistication that has a cyclical effect. If policymakers intend to accelerate business sophistication, then their attention should be directed towards maximizing the economic indicators in the long-run. To the best of our knowledge, the linkage between innovation capacity, business sophistication and macroeconomic stability in OECD countries has not been comprehensively explored through the use of a single dataset. Thus, the findings of this study could lead to a new debate regarding the concept.

In the modern era of academic research, it is extremely difficult to define an entirely or largely unexplored research problem. Every researcher is faced with this question in their research. It takes a lot of work and effort to primarily find a topic that is relevant and that will be attractive for study and research. The focus of this paper is research problems related to the field of entrepreneurship. This paper deals with trending research problems over the course of the last five years in the field of entrepreneurship. The survey was conducted with the aim of identifying the least explored areas of entrepreneurship in order to predict future research topics. The methods used to achieve this scientific goal include: description, classification and explanation. By analyzing the sample of 393 papers from the five most cited journals in the field of entrepreneurship, the author came to the conclusion that in the past five years the majority of papers dealt primarily with the topic of innovation and advanced technology, and hardly touched upon the topic of women's entrepreneurship. This paper should help future researchers to select the topics or fields of research in the domain of entrepreneurship.
