Industry and Innovation

期刊简介：Industry and Innovation is an international refereed journal publishing high-quality original research on the dynamics of industries and innovation. Interdisciplinary in nature, Industry and Innovation builds on and contributes to advancing the theoretical frontier within economics, management, and organizational studies. We are therefore open to a variety of topics, theoretical frameworks, and methodological approaches, as long as the manuscripts are theoretically grounded and address novel, meaningful, and interesting questions related to innovation. More specifically, Industry and Innovation encourages the intersection between different areas of knowledge and lenses (e.g., technology management, international business, entrepreneurship, human resources, corporate governance, economic geography, organizational behavior) in the study of innovation. Policy evaluation studies that can extend our understanding of innovation and industrial, institutional, or organizational dynamics are equally welcome. Industry and Innovation welcomes research at different levels of analysis, including: Individual level - e.g., how and why do certain groups of individuals contribute to innovation, and how are they affected (positively or negatively) by innovation activities and technological progress? Firm level - e.g., how do different firms manage and are impacted by innovation? Industry and regional levels - e.g., how are innovation patterns, types of innovation, and economic performance related to different industrial and/or regional structures? Cross-country studies - e.g., what are the institutional underpinnings for different paces and types of innovation? Industry and Innovation is committed to nurturing the community of innovation scholars by promoting intellectual curiosity, boundary-spanning ideas and academic rigour, by contributing to both emerging and ongoing debates and sketching promising avenues in future research, as well as by providing high-quality, insightful, and timely reviews. Focus Themes Industry and Innovation is currently dedicating special attention to three focus themes that the editorial board believes to hold considerable opportunities for future research. The focus themes are meant to provide inspiration for potential authors to conduct work in these areas and to encourage them to submit their research to Industry and Innovation . The three focus themes are: Innovation, Corporate Responsibility and Social Value Creation Existing research has largely focused on the economic gains accruing from innovation. These gains may be unequally distributed and hide increasing disparities across individuals, firms, and regions. At the same time, firms are increasingly pressured to respond to stakeholders needs and standards, to act responsibly, to do good besides doing well. This focus theme encourages manuscripts that can advance our knowledge on the complex linkages between innovation, firms (ir)responsible conduct, and social value creation. More specifically, we seek novel contributions identifying how the different forms in which firms may demonstrate their (ir)responsible behavior impact innovation or be affected by innovation activities. In addition, we welcome manuscripts that study the broader societal impacts of innovation and uncover the role of innovative firms in preventing or reproducing inequalities. Contingency factors or moderating effects can for example relate to the characteristics of top management or inventor teams, the processes used in innovation activities, or other specific qualities of individuals, organizations, industries, or regions. For some examples on research within this Focus Theme already published by Industry and Innovation, see the "DRUID 2015" Special Issue and, more recently, Coad, Biggi & Giuliani (2021) . Innovation in the Green Transition Climate change is one of the grand challenges of our time. In this regard, governments around the world are designing new policies to promote a green transition, which is expected to have sizeable impacts on how firms engage in innovation. The green transition requires efforts at multiple levels and is evolving at a very different pace across firms, regions, and countries. Understanding these differences and the role of innovation in the green transition is at the core of this focus theme. We seek to stimulate research on green/eco-innovation, the role of innovation ecosystems in enabling this green revolution, the industry and geographic distribution of the green transition, and the microfoundations of these processes (e.g., types of human capital or managerial characteristics that may activate or accelerate firms green transition). The integration of different disciplinary lenses (e.g., international business, corporate governance, human resources, entrepreneurship, economic geography) can be particularly promising in answering research questions within this focus theme. For some examples on research within this Focus Theme already published by Industry and Innovation, see the Special Issue on "Eco-Innovation Dynamics" and, more recently, Kobarg, Stumpf-Wollersheim, Schlägel & Welpe (2020 ). Innovation in the Digital Era Big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence technologies are central pieces of the current digital revolution we are going through. These can create enormous opportunities for growth and technological progress, but also potential disruptions that could ultimately question the relevance of industries as appropriate levels of analysis for innovation studies. This focus theme calls for research that can offer deeper insights on the opportunities and challenges created by the digital era. We encourage submissions that expand our knowledge about the industry transformations, the organizational changes, and the individual-level outcomes induced by this digital revolution. How does the digital era challenge existing innovation and organizational theories? How will it change labor markets, interactions in the work environment, new venture creation, and industry dynamics? Under which contingencies do digital technologies create new opportunities for firms to innovate and how (e.g., business model innovation)? How do they redesign industry boundaries and generate new value systems and partnership networks? Submissions that integrate multiple focus themes are also welcome (e.g., research on the linkages between digital revolution on social value creation and/or green transition). For some examples on research within this Focus Theme already published by Industry and Innovation, see the Special Issue on "Exploring Industrial Change in the Platform Economy" and, more recently, Cassetta, Monarca, Dileo, Di Berardino & Pini (2020) . The focus themes were introduced for the first time in 2015 and are revised periodically as warranted by new developments. While putting special emphasis on these focus themes, it is important to note that Industry and Innovation invites submissions of all work that falls under the broader aims and scope outlined above. Peer Review Policy All articles have undergone rigorous editorial screening and double-anonymized peer review by a minimum of two recognized scholars. Industry and Innovation strives for a smooth and constructive review process with a first decision made not later than eight weeks after submission and a final decision after a maximum of two rounds of reviews.

【译文】《工业与创新》是一本国际参考期刊，发表有关工业和创新动态的高质量原创研究。工业与创新本质上是跨学科的，它建立在经济学、管理学和组织研究的理论前沿之上，并有助于推进这一理论前沿。因此，我们对各种主题、理论框架和方法论持开放态度，只要稿件具有理论基础并解决与创新相关的新颖、有意义和有趣的问题。更具体地说，工业与创新鼓励创新研究中不同领域的知识和视角（例如技术管理、国际商务、创业、人力资源、公司治理、经济地理学、组织行为）之间的交叉。可以扩展我们对创新和产业、制度或组织动态的理解的政策评估研究同样受到欢迎。工业与创新欢迎不同层次的分析研究，包括： 个人层面 - 例如，某些个人群体如何以及为何为创新做出贡献，以及他们如何受到创新活动和技术进步的影响（积极或消极）？公司层面 - 例如，不同的公司如何管理创新并受到创新的影响？行业和区域层面——例如，创新模式、创新类型和经济绩效与不同的行业和/或区域结构有何关系？跨国研究——例如，不同步伐和类型的创新的制度基础是什么？工业与创新致力于培养创新学者群体，通过促进求知欲、跨界思想和学术严谨性，为新兴和正在进行的辩论做出贡献，勾画未来研究的有希望的途径，以及提供高质量、富有洞察力和及时的评论。焦点主题 工业与创新目前特别关注三个焦点主题，编辑委员会认为这三个焦点主题为未来的研究提供了相当大的机会。焦点主题旨在为潜在作者在这些领域开展工作提供灵感，并鼓励他们向工业和创新提交研究成果。三个焦点主题是：创新、企业责任和社会价值创造现有的研究主要集中在创新带来的经济收益上。这些收益可能分布不均，并隐藏着个人、公司和地区之间日益扩大的差距。与此同时，企业面临着越来越大的压力，要求它们响应利益相关者的需求和标准，采取负责任的行动，除了做好事之外还要做好事。这一焦点主题鼓励撰写能够增进我们对创新、企业（不）负责任行为和社会价值创造之间复杂联系的了解的手稿。更具体地说，我们寻求新颖的贡献，以确定企业展示其（不）负责任行为的不同形式如何影响创新或受到创新活动的影响。此外，我们欢迎研究创新更广泛的社会影响并揭示创新公司在预防或重现不平等方面的作用的手稿。例如，偶然因素或调节效应可能与高层管理人员或发明人团队的特征、创新活动中使用的流程或个人、组织、行业或地区的其他特定品质有关。有关工业与创新已发布的本焦点主题研究的一些示例，请参阅“DRUID 2015”特刊以及最近的 Coad、Biggi 和 Giuliani (2021)。绿色转型中的创新气候变化是我们这个时代面临的重大挑战之一。在这方面，世界各国政府正在制定新的政策来促进绿色转型，预计这将对企业如何参与创新产生相当大的影响。绿色转型需要多层面的努力，并且在各个公司、地区和国家之间以截然不同的速度发展。了解这些差异以及创新在绿色转型中的作用是这一焦点主题的核心。我们寻求刺激对绿色/生态创新、创新生态系统在实现绿色革命中的作用、工业和地理发展的研究。
