Strategic alliances have assumed a pivotal role in the growth and competitiveness of organisations, especially in contexts of rapid technological change and high environmental complexity. Drawing on the Dynamic Capabilities View (DCV), this study aims to analyse the impact of strategic alliance...

Roadmapping is widely used as a collaborative management tool for innovation planning; however, how stakeholders co-create value throughout the roadmapping process remains insufficiently evidenced and operationalized. Drawing on service-dominant (S-D) logic and stakeholder integration, this...

The economic and legal framework is transforming with the change in the globalization paradigm, accompanied by structural and quantitative changes in intellectual property assessment. This study aims to justify commercialization and analyze the innovation management of intellectual property as a...

Europe's innovation bottleneck increasingly manifests in the difficulty of scaling promising startups into globally competitive firms. Central, East and Southeast Europe (CESEE) is particularly exposed to this due to limited finance and local acquirers, which lead to serious risks of relocation...

The adoption of innovations to support technological transitions is widely recognized as a key strategic lever for maintaining competitiveness, but while many studies have explored the general determinants of innovation, less is known about the factors that foster the development of innovation...
