IMPACT STATEMENT
This study aims to explore the bottom-up emergence of inter-organizational knowledge flow mechanisms within collaborative innovation processes in the research-based organizations, including universities and companies. The knowledge flow mechanism in collaborative innovation is viewed from the process of knowledge sharing and absorption. By conducting in-depth interview, our findings highlight the importance of mechanisms that used in knowledge sharing and absorption. In addition, our findings are also show the intermediaries role of actors in the process of cross-organizational team interaction in managing knowledge flows. The results offer significant perspectives for managers overseeing collaborative innovation initiatives, especially those that operate in cross-border or cross-cultural contexts with suppliers, partners, or other external entities.

Purpose: Business ecosystems substitute more and more the idea of linear value chains as a conceptual idea of economic value creation. There are two conditions to make sense to establish an ecosystem. Firstly, complementarity: the complements of the actors have to be compatible with each other. Secondly, there must be a need for coordination between the economic actors. This is given if the complements have a certain minimum degree of specificity, i.e. if they aren’t generic. Specificity provides the link to the transaction cost theory, which knows two extreme forms of coordination: market and hierarchy. In this article we argue why ecosystems are to be placed between the two. Moreover, we consider dominance in ecosystems and the transition to oligopolistic situations. Oligopolies hamper the functioning of ecosystems. The purpose of this article is to provide a clear conceptual view on ecosystems by linking different theories. Study design/methodology/approach: The study design is conceptual. By linking conceptual considerations about business ecosystems to transaction cost theory their basic analytical categories can be elaborated and considered more focussed. The conceptual clarification leads to new and deeper questions. Findings: A main finding is the quite clear elaboration of complementarity and the need for coordination as the basic preconditions for business ecosystems to make sense as a form for creating economic value. Moreover, it was shown that oligopolies can hamper the advantages and the function of ecosystems. Originality/value: The main value is the provision of a clear and overall precise view on ecosystems. The originality lies in clearly showing the basic analytical categories. This provides a clear picture of the basic structure of ecosystems.

... Some catastrophic accidents have happened owing to the use of a liquid electrolyte and polyolefin-based separators, such as spontaneous combustion of Samsung Note7. 15 In flexible LIBs, the battery is required to be capable of deformation, so it is more likely to cause damage to the packaging material, electrolyte leakage, and battery safety accidents. Therefore, improving safety is particularly important for flexible LIBs. ...
Replacement of flammable liquid electrolytes with gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) is a promising route to improve the safety of lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). However, polymer‐based electrolytes have limited suitability at low/high temperatures due to the instability of the polymer at high temperatures and the low ionic conductivity of the gel state at low temperatures. Herein, an integrated design of electrodes/fibrous GPEs modified with graphene oxide (GO) is reported. Due to the integrated structure of electrodes/GPEs, the strong interface affinity between electrodes and GPEs ensures that the GPEs spun on electrodes do not shrink at high temperatures (160–180°C), thus preventing a short circuit of electrodes. Moreover, after GO modification, oxygen‐containing functional groups of GO can accelerate Li+ transport of GO‐GPEs even at a low temperature of −15°C. When these GPEs are applied to flexible LIBs, the LIBs show excellent electrochemical performance, with satisfactory cycling stability of 82.9% at 1 C after 1000 cycles at 25°C. More importantly, at a high temperature of 160°C, the LIBs can also discharge normally and light the green light‐emitting diode. Furthermore, at a low temperature of −15°C, 92.7% of its room‐temperature capacity can be obtained due to the accelerated Li+ transport caused by GO modification, demonstrating the great potential of this electrolyte and integrated structure for practical gel polymer LIB applications. A safety‐reinforced and high‐performance flexible lithium‐ion battery is assembled by the integrated design of electrodes/fibrous gel polymer electrolyte. The flexible battery shows stable electrochemical performance from −15°C to 80°C and presents excellent safety characteristics even in extremely harsh conditions, such as on being cut, bent, or even under high temperatures.

Organisational learning is a broad concept and it has evolved over time. However, based on context and characteristic of the user organisation, the learning technique and process differs significantly. Whichever learning model a company employs, Knowledge Management (KM) remains an important business practice for all. With the advent and popularity of Social Media (SM), KM is becoming more and more dependent on the use of varied social online networks. Now a day’s most of the organization which is innovative as well as want to survive in the competitive marketing for the long run taking social media is an important tool for managing knowledge and innovation. Nevertheless, the issue of innovation though social media surrounded knowledge management is a matter of debate among scholars. This case study has explored this issue in the context of Samsung Group.
... This problem could not have been predicted, since the problems that arise at smaller levels are not analogous to problems at a macro-level. 4 For instance,Yun et al. (2018) studied how a closed innovation strategy and unidirectional chain of command led to batteries' malfunctioning in Samsung Galaxy Notes 7 in 2016, due to which the smart phones ignited in a number of cases, whereasLoveridge et al. (2018) delved deep into the chemistry and physics involved in the short-circuiting batteries.10 Page 4 of 19European Journal for Philosophy of Science (2021) 11: 10 ...
In this paper we investigate how inference to the best explanation (IBE) works in engineering science, focussing on the context of malfunction explanation. While IBE has gotten a lot of attention in the philosophy of science literature, few, if any, philosophical work has focussed on IBE in engineering science practice. We first show that IBE in engineering science has a similar structure as IBE in other scientific domains in the sense that in both settings IBE hinges on the weighing of explanatory virtues. We then proceed to show that, due to the intimate connection between explanation and redesign in engineering science, there is a further engineering domain-specific virtue in terms of which engineering malfunction explanations are evaluated, viz. the virtue of redesign utility. This virtue entails that the explanatory information offered by a malfunction explanation should be instrumental in predicting counterfactual dependencies in redesigned systems. We illustrate and elaborate these points in terms of a number of engineering examples, focussing in particular on the 2009 crash of Air France Flight 447. Our extension of analyses of IBE and explanation to engineering science practice offers new insights by identifying a new explanatory virtue in malfunction explanation: redesign utility.
... [4][5][6] For LIBs, the major risk stems from the ignition of liquid electrolytes in the case of short-circuit, causing explosion accidents such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 scandal. 7 To overcome the safety issue of liquid electrolytes, solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are considered as the next-generation LIB technology. 8,9 SSEs are nonflammable and have good mechanical strength, enabling the direct pairing of Li metal as anode. ...
... It is then even more difficult to prevent the formation of Li dendrites without an understanding of its chemistry and structure. 7 Li NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) was used to detect the microstructural growth of Li dendrites at the early stage. However, it only confirmed the formation of Li dendrites before the short circuit. ...
... 53 The sample preparation is shown in Figure 11E-H. By tracking the replacement of 7 Li in electrolyte by 6 Li in Li metal anode after cycling, the Li pathway was identified. As shown in Figures 11K and 11L, 6 Li ions replace 7 Li ions in the LLZO part of composite electrolyte (strong peaks at middle part) instead of LiClO 4 (polymer part, small peaks at right side) and LLZO/polymer interface; therefore, majority of the Li + transfer via LLZO particles. ...
Inorganic solid‐state electrolytes (SSEs) are nonflammable alternatives to the commercial liquid‐phase electrolytes. This enables the use of lithium (Li) metal as an anode, providing high‐energy density and improved stability by avoiding unwanted liquid‐phase chemical reactions. Among the different types of SSEs, the garnet‐type electrolytes witness a rapid development and are considered as one of the top candidates to pair with Li metal due to their high ionic conductivity, thermal, and electrochemical stability. However, the large resistances at the interface between garnet‐type electrolytes and cathode/anode are the major bottlenecks for delivering desirable electrochemical performances of all‐solid‐state batteries (SSBs). The electrolyte/anode interface also suffers from metallic dendrite formation, leading to rapid performance degradation. This is a fundamental material challenge due to the poor contact and wettability between garnet‐type electrolytes with electrode materials. Here, we summarize and analyze the recent contributions in mitigating such materials challenges at the interface. Strategies used to address these challenges are divided into different categories with regard to their working principles. On one hand, progress has been made in the anode/garnet interface, such as the successful application of Li‐alloy anode and different artificial interlayers, significantly improving interfacial performance. On the other hand, the desired cathode/garnet interface is still hard to reach due to the complex chemical and physical structure at the cathode. The common methods used are nanostructured cathode host and sintering additives for increasing the contact area. On the basis of this information, we present our views on the remaining challenges and future research of electrode/garnet interface. This review not only motivates the need for further understanding of the fundamentals, stability, and modifications of the garnet/electrode interfaces but also provides guidelines for the future design of the interface for SSB. This review summaries recent publications related to interfacial challenges of garnet electrolyte‐based all‐solid‐state Li‐ion batteries (garnet‐ASSLIBs). The review has identified the properties of the interface, analyzed the state‐of‐the‐art methods mitigating the challenges at the interface, and proposed new opportunities in this area
... The advantages of secretive innovation lie not only in firstmover advantages but also in avoiding sharing the value of innovation with ecosystem participants. Additional income streams can be obtained from the cross-device integration of apps and functionality and from releasing innovations incrementally in subsequent versions of the same device (Yun et al., 2018). Both practices encourage additional consumption and indicate a lack of RRI maturity. ...
Meeting the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs) will require breakthrough innovations in a number of areas. Multinational enterprises (MNEs) can contribute to these goals by fomenting innovation considering the coevolution of responsible research and innovation (RRI) with the maturity of innovation ecosystems. Therefore, a conceptual model of the roles of multinational enterprises contingent on the evolutionary phases of a firm and the ecosystem in which it is embedded is derived. These MNE roles and RRI activities in SDG-oriented innovation ecosystems are explored through case examples of specific multinationals. Based on different archetypes of innovation ecosystems and RRI maturity levels, the identified roles include secretive innovators, builders, theater directors, platform leaders, dominators, and amplifiers. More responsible enterprises are found to support the SDGs through platform leadership and by amplifying the sustainable innovations of other ecosystem participants, whereas less responsible firms innovate internally and achieve less sustainable results.
