We examine the fragmented literature and integrate earlier results. To provide a theoretical foundation to our understanding of open innovation adoption, we categorize determinants identified in the literature based on three theoretical perspectives on organizations: transaction cost theory, resource-based theory, and institutional theory. Our study finds that a resource-based rationale is dominant in the literature. Considerations regarding transaction costs and institutional pressures have received less attention. We end the article with suggestions for future research

Testing our theory, using randomized experiments, with 72 teams tasked with managing simulated crises, we found that participative leadership improves decision accuracy in unfamiliar emergencies, whereas directive leadership improves accuracy in familiar crises; directive leadership produces speedier decisions than participative leadership when the team is familiar with the crisis. We discuss implications of our findings for leaders and crisis management experts.

However, there is a large heterogeneity of definitions and practices related to this notion. In view of developing a more consensual understanding of OT, this paper reviews the existing literature with regard to the subject focusing on three key elements: its definition, typology and the processes involved. For each element, the existing models are reviewed and an integrated conceptualization is introduced, providing a basis for further empirical research and enabling comparisons between existing studies. As such, the paper contributes to the consensus that is necessary to advance the research with regard to this subject.

Our focus is on three types of information systems: human resource management systems, job portals, and talent marketplaces. We explore the future potential of these new systems and identify the key challenges for their implementation in governments, such as inadequate regulations and funding priorities, a lack of leadership and strategic vision, together with rigid work policies and practices and a change-resistant culture. Tied to this vision, we identify several areas of future inquiry that bridge the divide between theory and practice.

This might often occur in an early stage of the procedure, but might also be a characteristic of the qualitative nature of some or all the criteria involved in the assessment of the alternative equipments to be selected or ranked. In such a case we propose the use of an ordinal outranking method of the ORESTE type, which requires only ordinal data and rankings of criteria according to their importance. We discuss how to use such a method in the context of an acquisition procedure of military equipment, and how to conduct the incomparability analysis. A visualization of the incomparabilities and of the total and partial rankings is presented.

We approach this issue from a general as well as a specific – in this case, Belgian – perspective. We establish that in spite of the strong political and public focus on this matter since 11 September 2001, scarcely any scientific supporting literature is available on an international level. In this contribution, we focus first on situating and defining a number of important concepts, in particular ‘economic potential’ and ‘threat’. We conclude with a series of points of particular interest and provide an initiative for academic and policy recommendations that can serve as a source of inspiration for governments in the months and years to come. We call specifically for the creation of an advisory committee comprising experts from the government, the business world and academia to help narrow the gap in scientific research on...
