No full textTravelling along the public service co-production road: a bibliometric analysis and interpretive review
No full textA bibliometric analysis and an interpretive review have been undertaken to advance the debate on public service co-production and public value co-creation, conceiving them as the cornerstones of public service logic. The systematization of 114 articles, which were sorted in 4 clusters through bibliographic coupling, revealed a 'new normality' of public service delivery relying on citizens' involvement as value co-creators. Citizens and regular producers should be empowered to act as partners in co-designing and co-delivering public services. However, the interaction between citizens and regular producers generates value tensions, which should be addressed to avoid backlash on public value generation
Unpacking business, management, and entrepreneurship education online: Insights from a hybrid literature review
No full textBusiness, Management, and Entrepreneurship (BME) education uncovers a valuable learning space within the online environment. Scholars and practitioners have embraced distinctive perspectives to exlpore BME education online. This led to a fragmentation of approaches and practices aimed at recontextualising BME education online. The article intends to overcome such fragmentation. For this purpose, it undertakes a hybrid literature review, consisting of a bibliographic analysis to map the scholarly debate on BME online education, and an interpretive review to systematize contemporary scientific knowledge. Drawing on a knowledge core of 106 articles, six clusters were identified through bibliographic coupling. The research streams embedded by the clusters deal with the challenges faced in the implementation of BME online education, such as the arrangement of online learning spaces, the promotion of collaboration among learners, the empowerment of instructors to address the learners’ evolving needs, and the structuring of virtual educational institutions. Tailored interventions are required to avoid that BME online education paves the way for anomic learning. Virtual learning spaces should enrich interpersonal exchanges, engaging learners in co-creating value with instructors. Digital technologies enact unprecedented opportunities for online learning, leveraging rich social connections and expanding the reach of educational activities
The Role of Entrepreneurial Attitudes and Behaviors in Smart Manufacturing
No full textThe fourth industrial revolution has brought into the competitive arena many challenges. This new era of digitalization and machine-machines interaction with big flows of data has been mainly analysed from a technical and functional perspective. Nevertheless, this changes will heavily impact also on the human capital that works in the industrial and manufacturing sector especially, where the smart manufacturing approach is always more present. For this reason, this paper tries to address the main challenges that will be soon faced by this type of workers that need to become knowledge (or knowledge-based) workers. We have built a theoretical model that may help micro-mechanisms through which knowledge workers with higher entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviours may perform better and thus they will be actively sought by organizations in the future. We infer that this attitudes and behaviours will directly benefit the individual performance in terms of higher knowledge creation. In addition, using the knowledge-based view theory, we explain how this increased performance may also improve organizational processes specifically the general knowledge acquisition of the firm.

Knowledge Management in the Fourth Industrial Revolution: Mapping the Literature and Scoping Future Avenues
Full text linkDue to increased competitive pressure, modern organizations tend to rely on knowledge and its exploitation to sustain a long-term advantage. This calls for a precise understanding of knowledge management (KM) processes and, specifically, how knowledge is created, shared/transferred, acquired, stored/retrieved, and applied throughout an organizational system. However, since the beginning of the new millennium, such KM processes have been deeply affected and molded by the advent of the fourth industrial revolution, also called Industry 4.0, which involves the interconnectedness of machines and their ability to learn and share data autonomously. For this reason, the present study investigates the intellectual structure and trends of KM in Industry 4.0. Bibliometric analysis and a systematic literature review are conducted on a total of 90 relevant articles. The results reveal 6 clusters of keywords, subsequently explored via a systematic literature review to identify potential stream of this emergent field and future research avenues capable of producing meaningful advances in managerial knowledge of Industry 4.0 and its consequences
Entrepreneurial approach and open innovation. A bibliometric and literature review
No full textSince the first definition of Open Innovation the indivisible relationship between open innovation and entrepreneurship has drawn a lot of research attention, however, the exact mechanisms by which openness benefits entrepreneurs and vice versa are not yet fully understood. Based on this consideration, this study aims to offer an overview of the evolution of the literature regarding the OI-entrepreneurship relationship published over the last decades. We use a bibliometric analysis coupled with a systematic literature review were performed over a data set of 106 peer-reviewed articles published from 2005 to 2020. The authors discovered the existence of five well-polarized clusters with the following thematic focusses: entrepreneurial opportunity for OI, strategic partnership opportunity for OI, organizational opportunity for OI, digital opportunity for OI, and institutional opportunity for OI. The authors investigated each thematic cluster by reviewing the most impactful contributions within them to create a framework which my highlights future avenues for the whole topic
Do or do not. Cognitive configurations affecting open innovation adoption in SMEs
No full textThe adoption of Open Innovation (OI) in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often rests on its positive evaluation from top-management teams and/or entrepreneurs. Because of the mixed outcomes attainable through SMEs' openness, managers must weigh the beneficial aspects of boundary-spanning against the complexities coming from inter-organizational arrangements and knowledge transfer. Building upon the tenets of dual-process theory, this study highlights the cognitive configurations leading toward willingness or reluctance of OI adoption in SMEs. This is done by investigating perceptions of barriers, benefits, and organisational resistance to openness, such as the not-invented-here (NIH) and not-shared-here (NSH) syndromes in combination with decision-makers’ cognitive styles. To shed further light on observed heterogenous outcomes and the effects of managerial cognitive configurations, this study analyses the willingness and reluctance to adopt OI among 434 managers and entrepreneurs working in SMEs. The results of combined PLS-SEM and fsQCA analyses outline different decisional paths associated with willingness and reluctance to adopt OI. Thus, this research contributes to the ‘human side of OI’ paradigm by providing fruitful implications about cognitive configurations of decision-makers in SMEs concerning OI adoption
Knowledge Management in the new millennium: Trends and knowledge structure of an evolving field
No full textRecent evolutions in the competitive arena call for a much more precise interpretation of how knowledge is managed in organizations. For this reason, the present study describes the intellectual structure and trends of knowledge management (KM) literature on the brick of the new millennium. Bibliometric analyses are used to frame such evolution and disruptive innovation brought forth by the forth revolution, that in organizational studies has been termed as industry 4.0. A total of 90 relevant paper articles were found and used for bibliometrics analyses in relation to KM topics in industry 4.0. Using VOSviewer, aggregations in the knowledge structure of the field has been highlighted and an interpretative framework was created to identify potential avenues of future research, meaningful to advance managerial knowledge of this recent revolution and its consequences
