This thesis investigates how dynamic capabilities and their underlying microfoundations enable manufacturers to implement digital servitization as a means for circular business model innovation. Digital servitization and circular business model innovation are both gaining traction in the manufacturing …

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, countries around the world are pursuing electrification policies. In residential areas, electrification will increase electricity supply and demand, which is expected to increase grid congestion at a faster rate than grids can be reinforced. Battery energy storage …

In today’s dynamic business landscape, the continuous development of employee skills is an important driver for innovation and performance in the workplace. However, employee skillsets are often inadequate, posing a challenge for organisational innovativeness and performance. Although concepts and instruments …

This study evaluates the performance of a counter-rotating dual rotor wind turbine (CR-DRWT) with 2 m2 rotor radius equipped with a double rotational armature in an open jet wind tunnel. With only one similar-sized design previously assessed in a wind tunnel, this study offers valuable validation material …

Collaborative robot arms (cobots) are gaining a strong foothold in contemporary manufacturing workplaces. While more information about the cobot’s impact becomes available, crucial design, work perception, performance, and strategic implications are systematically overlooked. Following a modern sociotechnical systems …

This study addresses the role of innovation in the relationships among exploration, exploitation, ambidexterity, and performance. Through a systematic literature review and meta-analysis (including 330 studies with 1,034 correlations), we challenge the assumption that exploration, exploitation, and ambidexterity …

Sanction screening is a crucial banking compliance process that protects financial institutions from inadvertently engaging with internationally sanctioned individuals or organizations. Given the severe consequences, including financial crime risks and potential loss of banking licenses, effective execution …

This article explores the relation between informal human resource management practices and innovation performance in European small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). We use the resource-based view and the self-determination theory to develop hypotheses on how informal human resource management practices …
