Research on Partner Selection in Enterprise Innovation Ecosystem

In the face of fierce market competition,enterprises must ensure the competitiveness of their products or services through technological innovation.However,the complexity of technology often surpasses the capabilities of individual enterprises,leading them to deepen cooperation with other organizations.The entities within the enterprise innovation ecosystem depend on each other,collaborate closely,and rely on core enterprises to integrate resources,thereby creating system value and enhancing competitiveness.The purpose of this paper is to explore the process of selecting appropriate ecosystem partners.It begins by providing an overview of relevant concepts,characteristics,selection factors,and methods.Subsequently,it analyzes the roles,resources,and synergy evolution of the entities within the ecosystem.An evaluation system encompassing operation,core,synergy,and development capability is then established.This system comprises 16 indicators,including organization scale and reputation,and is accompanied by a hierarchical evaluation model.Finally,the validity of the evaluation system is confirmed through empirical analysis,utilizing the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP)and the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method.

Evaluating innovation ecosystem resiliency using agent-based modeling and systems dynamics

Evaluating the resilience of the innovation ecosystem to maintain its performance,in the sense of resistance to disruption and recovery after it,has recently received more attention.Several studies have been conducted to model different ecosystems and evaluate their resilience.However,modeling the innovation ecosystem from a holistic perspective and performing a quantitative assessment of its resilience have received less attention.This paper models the innovation ecosystem holistically and evaluates its resilience index using a quantitative approach through five main steps.In the first step,a case study related to the innovation ecosystem of Iran's Ministry of Energy,called the Power Innovation Ecosystem,is modeled by combining system dynamics and agent-based modeling.Upon validating the model in the second step,the disruption of the loss of experts is investigated in the third step,and all possible actions to recover each actor are analyzed.In the fourth step,the performance of the ecosystem is simulated before and after the disruption using the data gathered in the previous steps.Finally,resilience is calculated in two different ways in the fifth step.Several improvement solutions are also suggested when considering that the resilience index of the innovation ecosystem is at a medium level.This research may assist policymakers in observing the resilience level of the innovation ecosystem based on the proposed model.By applying strategic changes to this model,they can determine the effects of their policies and make the most appropriate decisions to increase the resilience of the innovation ecosystem.

The Basin Water Resources Management System and Its Innovation in China

Water provides the origin of human survival and prosperity,and the basic resource for the maintenance of terrestrial eco-systems,their biodiversity,productivity and ecological services.With China’s recent,rapid growth both in population and economic development,the water shortage has become one of the most constraints on its ecological restoration and socio-economic development,especially in the arid inland regions of northwest China.At first glance,this water shortage in China appears to be a resource crisis.But second,an in-depth analysis reveals that the water shortage crisis arises mainly resulting from the poor water management system and operating mechanism that cannot facilitate fair allocation and efficient utilization of water resources both regionally and nationally and thus is viewed as a crisis of water manage-ment.The solution of China’s water shortage and low-efficient utilization problem will,in particular,require a fundamen-tal and substantial reform or innovation of the existing water management system and operating mechanism.In this paper,we address explicitly the problems existed in the current water management system,explore the basic theory of water re-sources management and provide some insights into the way how to establish a river basin based integrated water re-sources management system in China.

Critical Factors in Promoting Sustainable Innovation in Bahrain

Despite many initiatives to help foster innovation over the last decade,Bahrain has yet to realise its full potential,indicated by low levels of published research,patent registrations,and entrepreneurial activities.The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of sustainable innovation for economic recovery.This study aimed to identify the critical factors needed to stimulate innovation,as well as any barriers.Using a case study approach,emerging findings from an online survey of participants from a range of private and government organizations were explored through in-depth interviews with selected"innovation influencers".It was found that the economic and cultural environments in Bahrain favor a conservative approach to innovation,with the opening of new market opportunities with existing products the most reported form applied.The need for a sustainable economic recovery post-pandemic has raised awareness of the importance of innovation in all its forms.The environmental factors influencing innovation are charted in an ecosystem model,with effective leadership and a national strategy identified as key components.The Innovation Ecosystem derived from this case study of Bahrain has wider applicability as a benchmarking framework.By mapping the local context against framework elements,identified gaps can usefully inform a sustainable innovation strategy at both a national and organizational level.

Investigating the components of fintech ecosystem for distributed energy investments with an integrated quantum spherical decision support system

This study aimed to evaluate the components of a fintech ecosystem for distributed energy investments.A new decision-making model was created using multiple stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis and elimination and choice translating reality techniques based on quantum spherical fuzzy sets.First,in this model,the criteria for distributed energy investment necessities were weighted.Second,we ranked the components of the fintech ecosystem for distributed energy investments.The main contribution of this study is that appropriate strategies can be presented to design effective fintech ecosystems to increase distributed energy investments,by considering an original fuzzy decision-making model.Capacity is the most critical issue with respect to distributed energy investment necessities because it has the greatest weight(0.261).Pricing is another significant factor for this condition,with a weight of 0.254.Results of the ranking of the components of the fintech ecosystem indicate that end users are of the greatest importance for the effectiveness of this system.It is necessary to develop new techniques for the energy storage process,especially with technological developments,to prevent disruptions in energy production capacity.In addition,customers’expectations should be considered for the development of effective and user-friendly financial products that are preferred by a wider audience.This would have a positive effect on fintech ecosystem performance.
