Using Intelligent Knowledge to Offer Digital Services: a Lean Startup Interpretation
Clara Filosa, Lara Agostini, Anna Nosella
Digital servitization (DS) enables manufacturing firms to transition from product-centric offerings to digitally enabled product-service systems (PSSs). Despite its strategic potential, DS represents a challenging transformation for incumbent manufacturers, characterized by technological, data-driven, and business model uncertainty. While prior research conceptualizes DS as a strategic and organizational shift, limited attention has been paid to the [...]

Business Model Innovation in the Space Industry
Lara Agostini, Davide Aloini, Loretta Latronico, Valentina Lazzarotti, Anna Nosella, Luisa Pellegrini
The Copernicus Programme leaded by ESA (European Space Agency) has/is released/ing a huge amount of Earth Observation data and therefore firms operating in the Space Industry aim at getting most out of them. However, this is not straightforward in that, to be exploited, data need to be processed and interpreted and this, on its turn, [...]

Open innovation with scientific partners and patenting: the moderating role of the internal context for innovation
Lara Agostini, Lars Bengtsson, Valentina Lazzarotti, Raffaella Manzini, Anna Nosella, Luisa Pellegrini, Ioana Stefan
This paper aims at investigating how the degree of openness, in a depth conception (Laursen and Salter, 2006) and with scientific partners is associated to innovation performance, measured through the number of patent application. Moreover, we provide a detailed and contextual analysis which assigns to a multifaceted setting for innovation a crucial role in shaping [...]

SME strategic networks: how to achieve the commitment of partners
Lara Agostini, Anna Nosella, Karen Venturini
To hinder the high failure rate of strategic networks, recently scholars have concentrated on behavioral aspects such as trust, conflict management, resolution and commitment as fundamental antecedents of strategic network performance (Christoffersen, 2013). Within this context, this article focuses on the antecedents of commitment, based on the rationale that high levels of commitment cannot occur [...]

Internal and external determinants of SME patenting
Lara Agostini, Anna Nosella, Benedetta Soranzo
Purpose – Considered that the boundaries between the firm and its surrounding environment are increasingly porous, allowing the use of both internal and external innovative ideas and commercial paths to create technological outcomes, this article aims to unveil both internal and external determinants of SME patenting. Design/methodology/approach – We propose an econometric approach based on [...]

Managing open innovation with scientific and business partners: the mediating role of organizational practices and collaborative mindset in fostering ambidexterity
Valentina Lazzarotti, Raffaella Manzini, Anna Nosella, Luisa Pellegrini
Open innovation literature suggests that firms can improve their innovation performance by learning from users, customers, suppliers, universities, research centers. However, the success of such new paradigm is still debatable and literature is searching for its determinants. In particular, the firms’ internal organizational context seems to be crucial to explain the success or failure of [...]

Ambidextrous organization and Innovative performance: testing the mediation effect of the innovative culture
Lara Agostini, Roberto Filippini, Anna Nosella
Purpose – This paper has two aims: first to investigate whether an ambidextrous organization can be represented in a more integrated and complete way as a second order construct, reflected by contextual (managers social support and performance management context) and structural approaches (see figure below); second to examine whether internal networking mediates the relationship between [...]
