Researchers have studied open innovation by focusing primarily on big organizations. With digitization, the adoption of open innovation has become widespread, as there is broader access to cheaper and better information and communication technology. Private or public companies will also support individuals, or a group of individuals, to promote an innovative economy. Some countries also provide incubation opportunities and technical and financial support to encourage digital startups. This paper presents insights on the incubation program organized by one of the prominent centers in Qatar that incubate interested potential entrepreneurs to utilize open innovation for digital startups. The paper uses a qualitative analysis method on the data obtained from the interviews with the trainers (staff) of the center and the entrepreneurs who went through the incubation process. Four hypotheses were developed to understand various aspects of open innovation, the collaboration of startups, and the role of the incubation center. A nonparametric statistical test was used to assess the validity of the hypotheses. The results show that incubation and open innovation can contribute to digital startups. The paper concludes with suggested enhancements for incubation. This paper complements the literature by providing a study of open innovation in digital startups and introducing future research in this field.

This research aims to explore the role of social media as aids for accounting education and how people use social media to share accounting knowledge. We use the 5E Learning Model and the Knowledge Management (KM) Processes Model to investigate this issue using qualitative research methods and interviews. Our findings indicate that accounting practitioners and learners discovered knowledge through previous classrooms and exchanges between colleagues in knowledge discovery. In sharing knowledge, they shared their experiences by freely publishing posts, testing cognition, and interacting and communicating. In knowledge capture, learners capture knowledge by viewing online courses, using social media to contact accounting practitioners, learning from others’ experiences, and posting questions. In knowledge application, learners apply knowledge in examinations, internships, work guidance, error avoidance, and daily fund management. We also discovered that accounting practitioners and learners have different attitudes toward the issue of knowledge payment. We put forward suggestions for establishing accounting forums and groups on social media. Accounting practitioners should be willing to share knowledge, and accounting learners should gain knowledge through interaction. The public should use social media to know more about the profession and gain basic accounting knowledge to facilitate daily living.

“…Hence, when employees are provided such opportunities, this builds interpersonal trust, enables collaborative communication, and fosters teamwork with other members. These conditions thus encourage the free flow of ideas, reciprocal learning, problem-solving abilities and, eventually, knowledge sharing (Nguyen, Siri, & Malik, 2021;Rehman et al, 2021).…”

“…Such autonomy includes situations where employees are entrusted with a task and provided strong support and relevant information, open communication, egalitarianism, fairness in decision-making processes and opportunities to self-initiate (Gagné, 2009;Karim & Majid, 2018). These activities involving employee collaboration foster streams of ideas, reciprocal learning and problem-solving abilities, which lead to increased structural and human capital (Rehman et al, 2021).…”

Purpose This study aims to explore how the three types of human resource (HR) practices, encapsulated in the ability, motivation and opportunity (AMO) model, foster a learning organizational culture (LOC). In doing so, the authors evaluate the centrality of knowledge sharing (KS) in mediating this relationship. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative survey is undertaken to collect data from managers working in organizations operating in the UK. The authors use several statistical techniques to assess the psychometric properties of the measures and test the hypotheses using multiple regression executed with Preacher and Hayes’ Process macro. Findings The findings show that the AMO HR practices significantly facilitate the development of a LOC in the workplace, and KS among organizational members amplifies the effects of these HR practices in the process. Originality/value A LOC functions as an important source of organizational performance and effectiveness. It enhances the absorptive capacity of the organization to capture, share and transfer knowledge to optimize work. Hence, developing a culture that nurtures organizational learning could be a priority for managing HR. This study, therefore, extends the understanding of the role of AMO HR practices in fostering a learning culture – thus, providing managers with the essential knowledge to improve performance. The study also enriches the literature on HR practices, KS and LOC by integrating these three variables into a unifying framework.
