▼ Many market research agencies and consulting firms claim the robotics service and consumer market is about to boom. Market reports show there’s a massive, untapped market for robots to be used in commercial spaces such as hotels, restaurants, fast-foods and cruise ships. These spaces could serve as a great stepping stone on the path toward general-purpose home robots by driving scale, volume, and capabilities. However, there is a significant research gap in this field: only few studies are available on the introduction, adoption and diffusion of service robotics technologies in the hospitality industry. Tactile Robots (TR) is a high-tech startup based in Lecce, Italy, whose go to market strategy is to introduce its autonomous robots for indoor delivery in hotels for performing hotel room service. On one hand, nothing or only few is known regarding what is driving adoption of robotics technologies in hospitality and about which are the factors that are influencing adoption. On the other hand, Tactile Robots lacks adequate knowledge about its potential customers and the condition under which they are willing to be delivered value by TR’s innovative robotic solution. The aim of this research is to give recommendations about the design of a viable business model for Tactile Robots by investigating the drivers of adoption of service robotics
technology in hospitality industry, together with factors that are influencing adoption. Traditional Business Model (BM) design practices and BM ontologies fail in taking into account contextual factors and actors outside the firm specific value chain. In this work, we propose a novel approach to business modeling which, through a first step of empirical research involving different external stakeholders, identifies
technology adoption drivers and factors under the architecture of the theoretical
Technology Organization and Environment(TOE) framework. Findings are then organized to structure four case studies that represent the approach with potential customers. Multiple case study analysis provides in depth insights needed to give informed recommendations for business model design for Tactile Robots. The set of recommendations touches primarily three out of nine building blocks of the chosen business model ontology, Business Model Canvas, namely: Target customers, Value proposition and revenue model. Research showed how, in order for service robotics solutions to be successfully introduced to the hospitality market, value propositions should address predominantly the customer facing side of hospitality business. Unlike for industrial settings, robots are not likely to be adopted by players in hospitality for the only purpose of cost reduction and enhanced productivity. They, instead, need to bring significant value to the guest by augmenting the service or providing a superior experience. Furthermore, well renowned international innovative hotel chains seem to be the most suitable target segment for service robotics applications. Finally, due to stringent financial…

▼ Demand for machine learning is ever-growing in today’s business. Situated at the convergence point of big data and Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning allows companies not only to unlock hidden insights from the data deluge but also to fundamentally revolutionize their products and services. Recognizing the opportunities, industrial players are on the lookout to partake in the machine learning journey, or some are already experimenting with machine learning. However, the disparity between expectation and action is still substantial, and subsequently, machine learning adoption remains elusive for many companies. This is partly due to the relative immaturity of the technology, but also due to a myriad of uncertainties conjoined with the adoption process. As of now, a lack of understanding of machine learning adoption in business is prevalent in both academia and practice impeding companies from creating values at scale. In brief, the way to best prepare for machine learning is still an unsolved question. In this regard, it is timely to reflect such contemporary managerial needs into academic research. With the research main question of “What are the key readiness factors for business adoption of machine learning?”, this study investigates the factors which can increase companies’ overall readiness towards machine learning. This research utilized three research strategies (i) literature review, (ii) expert interviews, and (iii) multiple case studies to answer the main research question. The main research outcomes of this research are threefold. Firstly, the research concept of organizational readiness for technology adoption is clarified and two distinctive research streams – users’ and exploiters’ readiness – are subsequently identified. Secondly, the barriers to business adoption of machine learning are consolidated. Based on this, the key readiness factors which can mitigate the barriers are identified and empirically tested. Thereby the model of machine learning readiness is developed with its constituting factors: (i) Top management support, (ii) Vision and strategy, (iii) Open culture, (iv) Multi-disciplinary team, (v) Data governance, (vi) Existence of a translator, (vii) Machine learning infrastructures, (viii) Ambidexterity, (ix) Strategic partnership, and (x) Awareness. Theses outcomes are valuable to both academia and practice. This study contributes to academia by clarifying the ambiguous theoretical concept of organizational readiness for technology adoption. For industry, this paper can be used as a white paper to understand the phenomenon of business adoption of machine learning.

▼ This thesis report helps to identify which business strategies can make product-service systems a feasible business model for cradle-to-cradle certified products. Cradle-to-cradle is a product certification that highlights the material re-utilization and material health of any products. Product-service systems are the business models that combine the provision of products along with related services, to ensure better and responsible handling of the products, even after selling the products. In this report, the products in focus are the cradle-to-cradle certified products. In the end, eight business strategies are generated, which can be theoretically successful for the adoption of product-service system model for cradle-to-cradle products.

▼ What makes a startup successful? How to define success? Existent models on startup success prediction often left aside significant predictors which may not be available in typical business databases such as crunchbase. com. In this research, focused on a population of five thousand organisations from the Dutch startup ecosystem, we go beyond previous approaches and deliver predictive models that include novel and distinctive variables. To achieve this goal, we depart from an extensive selection of variables drawn from the literature review. The initial selection is discussed, refined and enriched by carrying out interviews with knowledgeable actors in the ecosystem. At the end of the study, a total of eight significant predictors are used to construct three predictive models on startup success. The first model predicts a startup having total funding of one million euros or above, the second model predicts a startup having ten or more employees, and the third model predicts a startup having an average annualized return of at least 20% in the past three years. After testing the models, accuracies of 71%, 71% and 76% respectively are obtained. The results of this research are meant to be used by the organisation techleap.nl. By enriching the data, employing more sophisticated MLmodels and conducting this research at different points of time, techleap.nl will be capable of monitoring and predicting the performance of the ecosystemboth accurately and dynamically.

▼ Startup arguably becomes one of the key drivers in the country economy. The growth of startup depends on how well the ecosystem provides the support needed by the startup. Like other young companies, startups have higher failure rates due to lack of resources, networks, reputations, credibility, innovation, or marketing knowledge for developing and selling the products. To survive, most startups collaborate and join business incubation to sustain and improve their performance. Several factors have been identified on influencing startup performance growth in business incubation. However, the impact of business incubation to startup performance has yet to be validated quantitatively by including all possible factors known from previous research. Thus, the research focuses on measuring the impact of business incubation to startup performance and whether business incubation is beneficial to startup performance based on quantitative approach. The performance measurement criteria was selected based on previous business incubation research and adjusted based on Indonesia startup ecosystem. The academic and practical gap on business incubation and its implications for startup performance are also addressed by doing survey research to startups community in Indonesia. The expected result will give an insight of business incubation impact to startup performance, and which factor most influenced startup performance in business incubation. Moreover, advice to help incubators improve and increase their impact on startup performance will also be presented in this research.

▼ The appearance of circular economy has been raised as a solution to rapidly diminishing resources and waste issues that constant economic growth entail. The transition from the current linear economy in which we take, make, use, and dispose of resources to a circular economy in which waste becomes raw material is expected to close material loop. To advance the era of the circular economy and foster the participation of companies, understanding circular business models is essential. This research studied three cases of circular business models (CBMs). The companies that use resource-based CBMs and bulk waste and deal with business customers were selected. Black Bear Carbon generates carbon black from end-of-life tires, DSM NIAGA provides carpet machines and adhesive that enables the production of 100% recyclable carpet, and Van Houtum generates toilet paper from used paper. The findings of this research are threefold: (1) the concept of upcycling is one of the elements that defines a CBM, (2) the most critical factor for the success of CBM is a circular value network, (3) the business modelling tools for CBMs should emphasize the element of circular values. This brings the theoretical contributions to the definition of CBM and developments of the business modelling tools for CBMs. The practical contributions are made to the firms who are considering implementing a CBM as a reference book. Lastly, policy makers can use this research as a guideline on the revision or reformation of the waste policy and legislation.

▼ In today’s dynamic and complex world economy it is highly challenging for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to be competitive. With the help of business partners, firms can considerably improve their levels of corporate entrepreneurship and so their levels of competition. In this research, we test whether business partner proximity and resource acquisition in alliances are affecting corporate entrepreneurship. We looked at tangible and intangible resource types and the three different dimensions of corporate entrepreneurship, being innovation, renewal and venturing. Data from 91 high tech manufacturing SMEs was collected by survey and combined with data from the SDC Platinum alliance database. On the collected data statistical analyses were conducted with the use of SPSS. Our findings indicated that for high tech manufacturing SMEs different levels of business partner proximity have no influence on the acquired tangible and intangible resource types, and also did not influence a firm’s corporate entrepreneurship outcomes. Further, indicate the findings that intangible resource acquisition is more important for a firm’s entrepreneurship than tangible resource acquisition. The practical implications of this study are that high-tech SMEs gain due to resource acquisition the most on their venturing commitments, and thereafter renewal and thereafter innovation. SMEs looking to form alliances can conclude that due to resource acquisition from their business partner they will profit the most on venturing aspects and thereafter on renewal and innovation aspects. Also, levels of business partner proximity do not show to be relevant on the outcomes of corporate entrepreneurship, although we found that alliances were most frequently among similar sized companies.

▼ Context - After the recession of 2008, the real estate market is picking up again. Amongst others due to the urbanisation and the increasing world population the real estate demand is growing. However, the current scarcity of workforce in the construction industry might become a huge issue in the future. In order to deal with the future real estate demand, the conventional construction industry needs to change. Although other industries are gratefully using newly developed technologies such as robots, innovations on the construction site are hardly used. Objective - This thesis aims to investigate how a business model of a Dutch construction company has to change to make on-site robots feasible. This research provides different strategies for construction companies to implement robots for the construction of row-houses, in order to deal with the emerging issues. Methods - This research is divided into three parts. The first section is a literature review providing an overview of currently developed robots, the status of the construction industry and the business models of construction companies. Secondly, an empirical part in which interviews are conducted to find out what the current business model of Dutch construction companies looks like. In addition, a case study in the dairy industry has been conducted as inspiration. In the final part, the operational section, all gained knowledge is combined and formulated as input values for the design of the adjusted business model. This is validated and complemented through a focus group with experts from the construction industry. For this research, the Business Model Canvas of Osterwalder and Pigneur is used as a framework. Results - Three different strategies are designed, based on the current business models of construction companies. These proposed models are adjusted to the input of the chosen robot, the case study in the dairy industry and the outcomes of the focus group. In the business model of the first strategy, the construction job is outsourced to a sub-contractor, who responsible for the operation of the robot. Within this model, minimal adjustments are needed for the construction company itself. However, this is the most expensive way to construct. In the second strategy, the robot is also implemented as key partner in the current business model, in this case not as sub-contractor but as a supplier. The robot is rented by the construction company from an external equipment party. This scenario will require adjustments of the current business model. Although this business model is less costly than the first model, it is still more expansive than currently used construction methods. The last strategy implies the purchase of a robot by the construction company itself. The impact/influence on the business model is shown for a worst and a best-case scenario. This strategy will cause several changes within the current business model, of which the most important is the robot as new key resource. The difference in costs depends on the worst or best…

▼ University business incubators are a global rising phenomenon and have an imprint on the genetics of high technology-based academic spin-offs and are central to the triple-helix model of innovation systems for academia-industry-policy. Research focused on Regional Innovation System of Delft suggest that the high technology-based start-ups face challenges in their growth up to a time period as long as four years due to resource-based obstacles and this can be a factor affecting the mortality rate of start-ups in the regions. University business incubators are a powerhouse of open innovation and support permeable firm boundaries for external knowledge, organizations cannot enjoy competitive advantage just by the virtue of being exposed to it but have to acquire, assimilate (Potential Absorptive Capacity), transform and exploit (Realized Absorptive Capacity) knowledge as a resource. Relatively less is known about how does the incubator support help the start-ups to develop their dynamic capabilities and the possible implications of this parent-spin-off relationship on their growth after graduation from that incubator and removal of the incubator support. Thus, to address this research gap, this research study examines 67 academic startups from Yes! Delft by finding the answer to the research question -<b><i>” What are the implications of a university incubator’s support to academic start-ups to implement open-innovation & develop dynamic capabilities on the growth of academic start-ups?”</i></b>. From an extensive literature review, a hierarchal conceptual model is developed where a lower order consists of open innovation based activities and higher-order consists of dimensions of absorptive capacity, tested for outcome variable competitive advantage using three constructs- Innovation, Strategic Flexibility and Product development Related Performance. The data is collected using a questionnaire & analyses is done for PLS-SEM using the software SmartPLS3.0. The findings for three sub-research questions are then interpreted to understand growth implications for navigation critical junctures -<i>opportunity recognition, entrepreneurial commitment, credibility & sustainable returns,</i> followed by suggestions for practitioners.

▼ This report set out to provide an answer on the question of whether the standard format of a startup accelerator program would transfer well to an internal corporate accelerator program, and, when this was proven to not be the case, it was shown how this format could be adapted for internal corporate purposes by answering the three empirical research questions of the study. The first question was concerned with whether the components of this standard startup accelerator format would reduce the difficulty in reaching the goals of an internal corporate accelerator program, and it was shown that only half of the components in fact did so. The second question was what the actual levels of difficulty in reaching the goals of such a program were, and it was found that there was a strong distribution in the experienced levels of difficulty with reaching the goals by the population that was analyzed in the current study. The third and final question concerned whether this observed distribution in the levels of experienced difficulty could be explained by the characteristics that characterize internal corporate New Product Development projects, and it was found that this was indeed possible for some of the goals. The results of these analyses were combined to formulate a set of design principles, which could be used to determine which components to include in a personalized internal corporate accelerator program, depending on the characteristics of a specific project in the program. Furthermore, it was shown how the design principles could be used to determine the proper division of time and resources over these components in the program. Finally, it was argued that the principles could be used for selection purposes, to select only those projects to partake in an internal corporate accelerator program that would stand to gain the most benefit from such a program. After formulating the design principles for such programs, it was argued that these internal corporate accelerator programs could be used as a vehicle for introducing improvements to the regular New Product Development processes of corporate organizations.

▼ As our modern society keeps changing, the role of universities as a source of creating opportunities for academic entrepreneurs to transform their scientific knowledge into a viable business is becoming significantly important. Even though academic institutions and universities have played a big role in the transfer of knowledge into commercialized solutions ever since they were established (Shane, 2004), in the past, more often than not, such inventions have taken place in non-commercial environments. But the commercialization of specific scientific or technical knowledge through novel high-tech academic spin-offs entails unprecedented entrepreneurial challenges (Vohora et. al., 2004). Thus this paper contributes towards the scholars’ and academic entrepreneurs’ understanding of how teams within high-tech academic spin-offs are able to identify, acquire and assimilate novel and needed external knowledge and resources, and how they transform and exploit those resources to fuel the company’s growth. In other words, due to the uniqueness and novelty of the High-tech academic spin-offs they are relatively underexplored (Lazer and Katz, 2004, Khodaei, 2015) and indicating that studying team effects on networks and growth is a very new area. So this paper makes an attempt to explore the how teams and networks in high-tech academic spin-offs evolve the company grows and how each of these parameters affect each other. As has been observed through our multiple case studies accessing necessary and critical resources is a big challenge faced by these specific firms during their initial development/growth stages (Sullivan and Ford, 2004). By employing Resource-Based theory, Human Capital and Social Capital theory, we investigate how entrepreneurial teams use networks in order to meet varying resource needs in order to grow. Results illustrate how evolution of team formation transform their corresponding network formation that could lead to the accessibility of new, necessary and relevant resources in ways that could impact the growth of these high-tech academic spin-offs. Consequentially, our findings show how founding members and other team members use their network connections to serve as one of their principal means of identifying, acquiring and assimilating these resources in order to grow. However, we have found that different growth stages of the spin-offs indicated different resource dependencies, so we observed how teams and networks change so as to meet the changing resource requirements. This led us to the interesting conclusion that this is a circular process in a loop. Along with that we have also found how companies operating in different geographic locations or dealing with significantly different product lines have tightly packed heterogeneous network channels with homogeneous network partners within each channel leading us to the fact that they are market leaders in niche markets, whereas, for companies operating in the same geographic locations and/or dealing with similar product lines have…

▼ An entrepreneurial ecosystem has become a paradigm between policy makers, regional developers as well as profit seeking organizations to spur start-up establishment and growth rates. Numerous studies have focused on conceptualization of an entrepreneurial ecosystem and the potential benefits that may be accrued regionally by effectively developing a bedrock for start-ups. This study is one of the first to compare two technically oriented regions, to find insights into intricate relationship between entrepreneurial supportive ecosystem and start-up growth from firm-level point of view. The data for this study was collected in
Delft, The Netherlands, and Vilnius, Lithuania, to see the effect of these entrepreneurial supportive ecosystems when contextual factors are taken into consideration.A literature review was conducted to understand the macro-level perspective of an entrepreneurial ecosystem and the firm-level critical junctures during the development process of these high-tech start-ups. An entrepreneurial ecosystem model highlighting the most important support factors, and a simplified start-up life cycle model are presented. A conjoint model including contextual regional differences is designed as the foundation for the study - to understand to what extent an entrepreneurial ecosystem supports firm-level business activities.The data for this study was collected through a digitally distributed survey, desk research and several expert interviews. The qualitative information was used to highlight main business activities at each start-up life cycle stage. The quantitative information, regarding start-up perceptions at these stages, was analysed using an independent samples T-test, correlation matrix and mean ranking.It was found that start-ups in Vilnius mostly occupy IT Service, Fintech and Hardware industries, while
Delft start-ups operate in deep-tech/high-tech, hardware and Med-Tech industries. These differences in combination with contextual interpretations explain some of the differences occurring in entrepreneurial ecosystem support evaluations. The results show that the entrepreneurial ecosystem is most supportive in the early stages of start-up growth with diminishing effects on later stages. Raising financing capital has been found to be highly supported by entrepreneurial ecosystems in both regions, even though start-ups did not perceive this activity as very important in neither of growth stages. Research and Development support in both regions was perceived as average from founders in both regions. Considering that
Delft bolsters a high-quality
university which should induce R&D activities, the support is cancelled out by the differences in occupied industries and their respective competitiveness. This means that more R&D support is needed for start-ups in
Delft. Moreover, legal support has been found to be higher in
Delft and attributed to a more robust regulatory system in The Netherlands. Lastly, it was found that considering important business activities at growth stages, start-ups mostly…

▼ In the face of technological discontinuities and disruption, convergence and increased global com- petition, established firms need to transform their business models more rapidly, more frequently and more radically than in the past. In line with the open innovation paradigm, which states that firms can and should use both internal and external ideas and paths to market, corporates are now actively engaging with startups to deal with these rapidly changing conditions. Recently, an increase is also witnessed in the types of corporate-startup engagement that are available to corporates to create, interact with, collaborate with, invest in or acquire startups. History however shows that corporate- startup engagement is by no means easy. In the past, many engagement mechanisms such as corporate venturing have been widely adopted and soon abandoned. The lack of setting and pursuing clear objectives and failure to establish a link between startup engagement and overall corporate strategy are considered important reasons for the lack of long-term success. This research contributes to the strategic use of corporate-startup engagement by corporate management by exploring the relation between corporate strategy and the concepts of open innovation, corporate venturing and corporate-startup engagement. A new framework has been developed linking open innovation (with corporate-startup engagement as its subset) to corporate strategy and the innovation ecosystem.

▼ Companies that establish relationships with other organizations, submerge in a process of decision making in terms of the agreements related to information sharing that should be held between them and their allies, customers or providers. The involved organizations, in the information sharing arrangements, have to make a determination toward the type of system to be used to exchange information, and the governance of the systems to structure its management mechanisms. There is a comprehensive literature regarding the adoption of inter-organizational organization systems (IOS) including areas like factors that affect their implementation, benefits for the organizations that use them and the different existing types of IOS. There is also broad literature about information technology (IT) governance. Nevertheless, there is a lack of research debate concerning the factors that affect both, the implementation of information exchange systems and the IT governance of such systems. This study aims to close the aforementioned gap by bringing an explanation about which factors influence the implementation of either a dyadic or a multilateral typology of information exchange system, used among companies, and the IT governance design whether it is centralized, federal or decentralized of such information system IS. Specifically, this research is addressed as an empirical study on how internal and external factors motivate companies to follow an information sharing arrangement which is formed by the typology and the IT governance of the information exchange system. The scope of this research is narrowed to the information sharing arrangements between private companies and their banking allies in Colombia, since the private companies in the South American country are the selected population; the central research question of this research is: Which factors influence the information sharing arrangements between private organizations and their banking allies?...

▼ This thesis provides insight in the characteristics of photovoltaic business models and how they relate to policy instruments and design considerations. Business models illustrate the rationale of how organizations create, delivers and capture value. The business model approach and more specifically the business model canvas is a tool that is widely used by academics, entrepreneurs and consultants to map out how organizations work and how different characteristics such as value proposition and distribution channels relate to each other. By studying professional and academic literature on (downstream photovoltaic) business models, a set of six categories are selected. These categories vary from straight forward project providers where customers purchase a small photovoltaic installation to complex business models that include third party ownership and even aggregation of distributed electricity generators that are clustered as a virtual power plant. The research shows that the business model canvas approach is a valuable tool to assess and describe photovoltaic business models. This thesis unveils that major differences in business models are present between first-party and third-party ownership. The latter projects are often financed by banks, utilities or investment funds that maintain much higher standards in quality control, risk mitigation and are less comfortable with dealing with unstable policy environments. It also becomes clear that third party business models can only succeed in an environment with stable policies and proper access to financing. As feed-in-tariffs and long term power purchasing agreements are getting less common in mature market, another wave of business model shuffling can be expected in the solar industry. More uncertain revenue streams, curtailment and electricity market exposure will lead to new models with a different kind of investors. Although utility companies have not yet played a major role in the photovoltaic industry, they do have competitive advantages in the coming years as they have experience with energy trading.

▼ Privacy and security are perceived as of great importance. However, readily available Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) and their development, innovation and standardization is not very forthcoming. Indeed, the dominant business model is privacy invasive: gathering and using private data as part of the business model to safeguard continuity. Meanwhile, users want their digital privacy and security safeguarded. The research strategy consists of desk research (analysing transcripts and the literature) followed by a survey to quantitatively analyse and find drivers and barriers of Privacy-Enhancing Technology adoption and diffusion. The research objective is to discover what managerial and policy recommendations can be stated in order to help PET producing organizations to increase the adoption and diffusion of PETs in general.

▼ The main research question that this research seeks to answer is: What are the factors that are perceived to be important for the performance of venturing units at Dutch distribution network operators? Factors found in the literature that impact the performance of this venturing units can be divided into three parts: factors from an organizational perspective, factors related to the venturing unit and factors that relate to the venture itself. Interviews were conducted at the three largest DSO’s (Alliander, Enexis and Stedin) to assess whether these organizational and venturing unit related factors influence their corporate venturing performance. At four ventures (Allego, Hoom, EXE and LOCOL) that were initiated by Alliander interviews were conducted to find venturing unit related and venture related factors that are perceived to be important for the performance of venturing units from their perspective.

▼ The fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) is in full swing and organisations across the world pour efforts into the digitisation of manufacturing operations and services. The working practice changes and entails an increasing interaction of humans with
technology. At the same time, from across society actors exert growing pressure on organisations to uphold accountability and other social values. Industry 4.0 rises concerns over the organisation's current ability to support employee well-being. Here, well-being refers to the quality of an employee's working experience. In addition to an adequate physical and cognitive workload when performing tasks, factors influencing well-being include continuous competency development, synchronisation of one's work with that of colleagues, and recognition of one's contribution to the purpose of the organisation. Responsible Innovation, as a lens to improve the innovation process and anticipate social concerns such as that of well-being, remains appropriate for decision-making in governmental and academic settings. However, its use in industry is underrepresented and still unfamiliar to managers. This thesis project is conducted in collaboration with Nokia Solutions \& Networks. The project explores how can Responsible Innovation benefit the employee well-being in the Transformation 4.0 of the associated company? The project follows a Trailing Research approach. This is similar to action-research, but it is executed in only one cycle and its goal is not to trigger change. The organisation does not have the explicit request to address a problem. Instead, it commissions this study in order to explore possible impact of Industry 4.0 on their current mode of operations. Therefore, the student-researcher trails the transformation inside the organisation during a 5-month research stay. Change brought by the design, execution, and evaluation of new digitisation projects is followed closely. From interviews to 9 practitioners across Human Resources, Change Management, Leadership \& Talent, Demand Planning and Manufacturing groups, next to documentation analysis and contextual observation, a single case study with two embedded units of analysis – Business and Factory – is created. The analysis results in the 9 Areas of Inquiry. These suggest a need to review current efforts in the organisation. The areas include a review: on traditional learning pillars; on the visibility of subject-experts across units and on current reward schemes; on the opportunity for rank-and-file to increase their outward-looking capability; on the way how groups capture and share lessons and how the impact of sharing is measured; on the understanding and monitoring of various forms of leadership; on the opportunity for the central change management group to transfer value to project groups in lower-levels; on employees' perception of the role of the continuous improvement function and how its methodologies are being transferred to the daily work of project groups; on the anticipation activities of more…

▼ Worldwide, organisations are establishing joint ventures to overcome market trends and size-specific challenges. Smaller sized organisations lack financial resources to introduce their innovation to the market, while larger sized organisations trouble with renewing their core business models. Consequently, more and more joint ventures are established between dissimilar sized organisations to combine resources and knowledge. However, these asymmetric joint ventures are subject to specific opportunistic behaviour which is promoted by a power imbalance between the partners. Opportunistic behaviour may harm the performance of a joint venture and may even jeopardise the survivability of an organisation. In an asymmetric joint venture it is likely that the larger sized organisation will accumulate the majority of bargaining power by which the smaller sized organisation is put at risk. Therefore this research is conducted to assess how opportunistic behaviour emerges through a power imbalance. And eventually how this affects the overall performance of an asymmetric joint venture. Next, it is expected that when opportunistic behaviour emerges, that it will decrease cooperative behaviour and thus will affect the trust between the partners. Data was retrieved by combining the SDC Platinum alliance database with the Orbis financial database to identify asymmetric joint ventures which have been established worldwide in the last ten years. From these asymmetric joint ventures, only the joint ventures operating in the manufacturing division were contacted, because these are characterised by product innovations to stay competitive. By doing several internet searches per asymmetric joint venture, contact information could be retrieved of executives knowledgeable of these joint ventures. A cross-sectional survey design was used to collect data about the asymmetric joint ventures. In total 77 completed surveys were collected. The results of this research show that the amount of financial resources and expertise brought to the joint venture will determine the bargaining power of each partner. The majority of bargaining power is in most cases accumulated by the larger partner and is based on the financial investments made to the joint venture. The powerful party may use its bargaining power to alter the strategic direction of the joint venture in her favour, as bargaining power was found to be negatively correlated with goal congruence. Next, the relationship between goal congruence and joint venture performance was found to be fully mediated by trust. This suggests that opportunistic behaviour needs time to get recognised by the disadvantaged partner since it is disguised. Despite the fact that roughly 70% of the joint ventures worldwide were found to be asymmetric and achieve less performance than symmetric alliances, the current literature is barely addressing the characteristics that influence the performance of asymmetric joint ventures. This research, however, addressed some of these…

▼ The twenty-first-century complex
technology and innovation systems require firms to adopt untraditional organizational structures, in which the value chains are broken, and non-linear flows of tangible and intangible resources are capitalized. The literature on innovation management and network economics also recognizes that firms’ innovation strategies can no longer be described by their operational arms-length, rather it can be defined as an ecosystem that crosses a variety of industries. Previously, the networked nature of the organizations have attracted increasing attention among academics. Nevertheless, this heterogeneity in the available literature and the multivocality of the term turns the ‘innovation ecosystem’ concept into a problematic structure, and its implications become indeterminable when sketching successful innovation strategies. This thesis strengthens the idea that a better assessment of the innovation strategy success can only come through enlightening the managers’ decision-making rationale as well as external and internal forces to which they respond. In order to provide pragmatic implications for future practice and novel inquiries for innovation management scholars, this thesis takes a caption of today and scrutinizes the readers understanding of the innovation ecosystem concept. Only after that, it goes into questioning why firms follow certain strategies in the context of innovation ecosystems. The problem addressed in this thesis is how certain factors influence managers’ decision-making rationale in innovation ecosystems. Accordingly, the objective of this thesis is divided into the following four: (i) it analyses what can be considered as an innovation ecosystem; (ii) it identifies innovation ecosystem actors, their roles and strategies they employ; (iii) it analyses managers’ strategic decision-making process in innovation ecosystems; (iv) it distinguishes the factors influencing the decision-making rationale of managers who are pursuing an ecosystem strategy. To fulfil the research goals this thesis approaches the investigation from two different angles: the energy and construction sectors. The explorative nature of the addressed problem is investigated through employing a mixed methodology. First, interviews were conducted with the academics as well as managers from the field. Second a survey-based Multi Criteria Decision-Making method, called Best Worst Method, is employed. The results indicate that in a decreasing order of influence: push for strategic renewal; availability of a new market opportunity; firm’s posture; push for sectoral reconfiguration; innovation culture; access to capital; ecosystem related uncertainties; and legislative impositions are considered influential in managers strategic decision-making rationale. The findings suggest that managers pay great attention to the possibility of a new market opportunity. This drives managers to align their innovation strategies with the greater innovation ecosystem. As opposed to the traditional view, in which sourcing and…

▼ Corporate Venturing, is a recurrently researched mechanism for corporates to stay innovative. However, the difficulty of establishing a Corporate Venturing Unit, becomes apparent in the literature. ENGIE Ventures and Integrated Solutions (EVIS) also resorts to external CV activities, in order to cope with the pace of technological innovations in the predominantly classical energy industry making it an interesting case to conduct the research. The first part of the research consisted of research endeavors into external CV objectives, in order to develop a version of the intended external CV objectives for a CVU at EVIS. This has been done by conducting a thorough literature review. Consequently, these insights were used as a foundation to conduct internal interviews at EVIS in order to develop a set of intended CV objectives for a CVU at EVIS. The second part, researching the factors, started with a literature study, resulting in the development of a conceptual framework of factors. This conceptual framework has been used as a foundation for a total of nine external interviews. Ultimately, the insights of both the internal interviews and external interviews are processed into implications for EVIS. For the CV objectives intended for a CVU at EVIS, strategic objectives should outweigh the financial objective, where the following strategic objectives are specifically mentioned in order of importance: Strategic corporate renewal and a window on new
technology, business models and capabilities – Promoting ENGIE’s innovative and entrepreneurial image – Developing an innovative and entrepreneurial culture within the corporate – Leveraging internal capabilities, competencies and ideas to create new business – Accelerating innovation though ventures – Creating deal flow for corporate M&A. For the financial objective, the interviewees at EVIS indicated the room for potential loss-making investments and ambiguity towards whether every investment should be financially viable. However, external interviews provided a different insight: every investment should show good financial returns, purely looking at the investment financials. Furthermore, the factors that should be considered in order for a CVU to engage in external CV activities, based on literature and external interviews, have been approached by categorizing them into five categories: Factors internal to the CVU, factors in the relation between the CVU and the corporate parent, between the CVU and external ventures, between the CVU and spin-offs and between the CVU and external investment partners. The following factors have been found to be most crucial to consider for a CVU engaging in external CV activities: balancing strategic and financial objectives, the CVU’s team composition and compensation, the autonomy of a CVU and the degree of autonomy it provides to ventures, collaborative investments together with financial and strategic co-investors, and specific activities of a CVU with spin-offs (e.g. motivation to spin-off, involvement of external investors, etc.).…

▼ Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) tend to focus upon short-term profit in a crisis period, however the EU advised SMEs’ to invest in innovation and quality of products. How SMEs balance between these two contradicting strategies is seldom addressed. Therefore, this study explores how SMEs align their organization upon short term exploitation of current products and explore long term product innovations simultaneously. The results of this multiple case study research identify Exploitative activities are supported by commonality among organizational goals and Exploration requires investment in knowledge sharing. A moderating effect upon exploitation and exploration, as identified in literature about Organizational Ambidexterity, is also identified among SMEs.

▼ Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) standard is an initiative to eradicate offshore tax evasion using utilizing the advancement of technology so that each participating country can perform cross border information sharing. However, challenges arise especially for the developing countries regarding the fulfillment of needed IT infrastructure enabling the automated reporting process. To date, little is found in the literature related to the empirical study on the types of IT infrastructure that support the reporting process. Therefore, in this research, we aim to investigate the forms of IT infrastructure and its governance that could enable the reporting for the AEOI purpose, while also exploring the determinants influencing the selected approach. The objective is realized by developing an analytical framework that helps in analyzing the problem and apply it to a case study in two countries which is the Netherlands and Indonesia. In the end, our research signifies two different types of IT infrastructure and governance approach, in which there is no superior or the best-fit for the implementation because the choice of infrastructure will depend on the contextual factors that affect the needed requirements.

▼ Fuzzy front-end innovation (FFEI) is the most challenging and unmanageable stage of new product development. This is due to the uncertain and dynamic nature of product, market and consumer knowledge related to innovation. Value proposition creation (VPC) process is a part of FFEI. The scope of the research of this thesis is from VPC kick-off until finalisation of the concept. It involves opportunity exploration, generation, prioritisation, validation of ideas and concepts. Although VPC is being studied in academic and by organisations since decades still organisations are going through a high number of iteration and continual change of scope of VPC process before finalising the concept which is accepted by consumers. The acceptance of the concepts is checked qualitatively and quantitative with consumers. The main reason of the failure of the concept to gain consumer acceptance is the lack of structure of VPC process, lack of understanding of attributes of VPC, lack of understanding of tools and processes required to define the key attributes, and lack of understanding of influence of innovation on these attributes of value proposition (VP). Attributes of the value proposition can be defined as the consumer, market, product, process, and organisational characteristics of value proposition. Furthermore, innovation is considered as the newness to the organisation. Hence, the objective of this research is to prepare theoretical framework showing the relationship between attributes of VP and acceptance of the concept which can be used by managers as a step by step guide to design a sprint of VPC process based on the scope of innovation. Philips is selected for this research to understand the real-life cases which involve VPC process. The initial conceptual model was prepared from literature review and desk research at Philips which is validated through semi-structured interview. Final conceptual model, theoretical framework 1, and theoretical framework 2 are prepared from case study and interview result analysis. Final conceptual model shows the key attributes of VP which influence acceptance of the concept by consumers and their role (independent variable or moderators). These key attributes are unmet consumer need, superior offer, competitive price, involvement of consumer, involvement of multifunctional team, additional cost, emotional appeal and brand influence. Theoretical framework 1 showed step by step method to guide VPC process by identifying above-mentioned key attributes for inspiration (opportunity exploration), ideation, and implementation phase. It further showed the influence of scope of innovation (incremental or disruptive) on the relationship between VP and acceptance of the concept by consumer. Theoretical framework 2 identified the tools and processes essential to define the attributes of VP to generate high concept test score from consumers. This research contributed to academia and practice by identifying key attributes of VP, establishing relationship between attributes of VP and acceptance of the…

▼ Reefers are refrigerated containers commonly used for transporting perishable goods such as meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit. Due to the growth in reefer usage, energy consumption of reefers at container terminals grows significantly to 40% of the total energy consumption at terminals. When reefers are connected to the electricity grid, peaks in energy consumption can lead to high costs. A specific grid capacity is reserved for the container terminal, exceeding the reserved capacity will result in high energy costs. Therefore, reducing peak energy consumptions of reefers at container terminals will reduce energy costs and reduce the carbon footprint of reefer transport. Previous research has taken highly technical views on the problem. Refrigeration and insulation techniques research result in efficient reefers, but innovations in this area seem to reduce. However, Lukasse et al. (2013); Barzin et al. (2015. 2016) have shown that advanced control systems can reduce the energy consumption of individual reefers significantly. More recent and promising studies of van Duin (2016) focus on the broader picture of multiple reefers connected simultaneously at the container terminal. Filina and Filin (2008) have taken a process-based view by investigating factors that lead to power-out moments within the supply chain. Meanwhile, the root-cause of energy consumptions remains un-researched. A sequential multiple regression analysis with backwards feature selection is performed. A model is found in which the number of arriving reefers, dwell time, plug-in temperature, insulation value, and cargo type are found to be significant. The developed model shows that the number of arriving reefers explains 76,6% of the variance, dwell time 4,6%, cargo type 1,1%, thermal insulation 0,3% and the delta plug-in temperature 0,4%. Finally, an improvement for the dwell time is developed as this produces the highest yield. It is suggested that long stay reefers can only be targeted if the revenue of the container terminal does not reduce. Therefore, two Revenue Management schemes are proposed: a complex dynamic pricing scheme and peak pricing. Dynamic pricing requires fixed capacity, perfect knowledge of demand, and price sensitivity. Peak pricing scheme is less fine-tuned and does not require perfect demand knowledge. Additionally, price sensitivity is not a requirement when using peak pricing as the peak price an incentive for fast collection of the reefer. Considering the perfect demand knowledge requirement, it is attempted to predict the energy consumption using only data known to the terminal prior to the ships arrival. Using a neural network, it is attempted to predict the dwell time with the purpose of using this in the energy consumption model. The neural network has shown that the dwell time cannot be predicted with the available data. This reduces the prediction accuracy of the model. Additionally, Dutch importers of perishable goods indicate that demand is not price-sensitive. Therefore, a peak pricing…

▼ Container vessels arriving in a port before or after their scheduled time can cause problems in the container terminal planning and planning of hinterland transportation. This in turn leads to an increase of the costs in the supply chain. Vessels communicate their Estimated Time of Arrival via Automatic Idetification System(AIS) data to the port. This arrival time is estimated by the crew of the vessel and manually inputted into the AIS. In this research a proof of concept is shown that the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) prediction of container vessels can be improved. Vessels en route to the Port of Rotterdam are used as a case study. Different frameworks and algorithms are introduced to improve the data quality of AIS messages, to identify a set of possible routes and to do predictions based on the set of possible routes. It is possible to do predictions based on pre-processed AIS messages and a set of possible routes that perform at the same level as the best guess of a vessel’s crew.

▼ During the last decade, the transportation market has experienced a remarkable transformation. Unprecedented technological innovation and an increasing concern about pollution and climate change have pushed society towards sustainable mobility solutions. Among these, the main current options for personal transportation are battery and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles. Despite the social relevance of this topic, most research about technology dominance in this standards battle does not make use of a comprehensive framework of factors, what has a negative impact on the validity and usefulness of the obtained results. The main objective of this research study is to determine which factors affect technology dominance in the standards battle between battery and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles according to experts. To accomplish this task, a comprehensive framework of factors for technology dominance is employed in combination with the multi-criteria decision-making tool known as the Best Worst Method to analyse the data provided by experts on this specific case. The results of this thesis deliver a first indication of which aspects seem to drive technology dominance in this standards battle. The performed data analysis shows that technological superiority, compatibility and brand reputation and credibility stand as key factors for technology dominance in this particular case according to experts. Furthermore, eight additional factors are found to be relevant for this technology battle. This research study contributes to scientific literature by delivering a first indication of which factors are relevant, and how important these are, for the standards battle between battery and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles. These findings may be useful for assessing other technology battles in the automotive industry as well as in similar sectors. In addition, this thesis contributes to find out which factors tend to drive technology dominance in standards battles in general.
