<p><strong>Purpose</strong>: This research aims to investigate the role of orchestration mechanisms and the innovation network in the development of the ELMO helmet as an innovative solution to the effects of COVID-19.</p><p><strong>Methodology/approach</strong>: This study employed an exploratory and descriptive case study design, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis techniques. Data were gathered through interviews, observations, technical visits, and document analyses.</p><p><strong>Originality/Relevance</strong>: This article tackles a topic that has received limited attention in existing literature. It contributes to a deeper understanding of the processes and dynamics of orchestration in innovation networks during periods of crisis while also shedding light on the various roles played by actors involved in these networks.</p><p><strong>Main results</strong>: The findings highlight the performance and significance of the roles assumed by actors within the ELMO helmet innovation network. Moreover, an informal hierarchical structure was observed among these actors, with certain individuals assuming leadership positions and gaining legitimacy. The results also revealed the dynamism and autonomy of the ELMO helmet innovation network, showcasing the complementary orchestration capabilities demonstrated through knowledge mobility, innovation appropriability, and network stability.</p><p><strong>Theoretical/methodological contributions</strong>: The study contributes to the field by reaffirming the positive relationship among the integration, betweenness, and orchestration of actors within innovation networks, as well as suggesting new avenues for future research.</p><p><strong>Social contributions</strong>: The study provides subsidies for government and business managers to understand the dynamics that involve the innovation process and to develop strategies aimed at the effectiveness of an innovation network through orchestration.</p>Paulo Torres JuniorSamuel Façanha CâmaraTeresa Lenice Nogueira da Gama Mota

2024-03-012024-03-01121e23732e2373210.5585/2024.23732An integrative framework to driver innovation among dairy actors
https://periodicos.uninove.br/innovation/article/view/24025
<p><strong>Objective of the study: </strong>We aim to propose, and test an integrative framework for actors’ orchestration in the dairy sector based on a data science perspective to drive innovation.</p> <p><strong>Methodology/Approach: </strong>To achieve this aim, a systematic literature review and content analysis were conducted, then, an integrative framework was developed and empirically tested. Subsequently, incremental adjustments in the framework’s data structure were performed based on the interviews conducted through the focus group were taken into consideration. Increasing the framework assertiveness and adaptability in different contexts.</p> <p><strong>Originality/Relevance: </strong>The article delves into the world of dairy production, focusing on the key players in the milk and its derivatives sector. It emphasizes the crucial role of data in driving innovation and value co-creation among these actors. By collecting and displaying the relevant data, each player can unlock new opportunities for growth and collaboration within the value chain. The data science principle forms the bedrock of this process, as it enables a deeper understanding of the data flow and facilitates effective information-sharing across the right value chain actors.</p> <p><strong>Main results: </strong>A framework that encompasses key data that can be shared among actors, to foster information exchange and long-term relationships, promoting transparency in the process, which raises a sense of trustworthiness, responsibility, and innovation.</p> <p><strong>Theoretical/Methodological contributions: </strong>The study involves the development of an integrative framework that is constructed based on insights gathered from the systematic literature review and content analysis. This framework serves as a comprehensive and cohesive structure for understanding the utilization of data flow to connect stakeholders in the dairy sector. It highlights the key elements necessary for successful actors' relationships and outlines the potential impact on value co-creation and the generation of valuable information. Empirical contributions are made through the testing and validation of this framework with a diverse range of stakeholders in the dairy sector. Through focus groups involving multiple players within the industry, valuable insights are gathered, and the framework is tested. The empirical findings validate the applicability and effectiveness of the framework, ensuring its practicality and relevance.</p> <p><strong>Social/management contributions: </strong>The framework elevates the knowledge level about the dairy sector and its practices among stakeholders. It amplifies the potential for innovation within the sector, serves as a guiding tool that encourages stakeholders to explore new avenues for enhancing the customer experience. The social and management contributions are evident in its ability to empower stakeholders with knowledge, inspire innovation, and elevate the overall customer experience in the dairy sector.</p>Andrei BonamigoAna Carolina Custódio LopesLucas Ferreira MendesHerlandí de Souza AndradeCésar Augustus Winck

https://periodicos.uninove.br/innovation/article/view/24381
<p><strong>Objective:</strong> This study proposes and evaluates an innovative process for managing and developing academic works in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) field. The main objective is to boost innovation generation and stimulate entrepreneurship among students. In practical terms, the study aims to build a process that shapes research towards the creation of minimum viable products (MVPs).</p> <p><strong>Relevance:</strong> There is a misalignment between the University and the productive sector, mainly due to significant differences in expectations regarding the application of research and development results. These challenges hinder innovation generation and, consequently, the technological development and industrialization of the country, ranking it 64th out of 126 economies, according to the Global Innovation Index.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> This research combines quantitative and qualitative methods. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify the advantages and limitations of different comparison criteria. The created process, called LUDUS, was rigorously applied to Undergraduate Capstone Projects (UCPs) over a year in the Department of Computing at the Federal University of Sergipe (DCOMP/UFS). Three quantitative performance metrics were defined to evaluate the adoption of LUDUS: (i) project abandonment rate, (ii) MVP generation rate, and (iii) startup creation rate.</p> <p><strong>Main Results:</strong> LUDUS enabled the construction of proofs of concept (PoC) or MVPs with a 70.5% success rate, contrasting with the non-existence of successful cases in the pre-LUDUS period. In the academic sphere, LUDUS contributed to an increase in the UCP completion rate from approximately 69% to 86%.</p> <p><strong>Contributions:</strong> A new process for development and people management was conceived, tested, and validated to help mitigate the identified problem.</p>Hugo Vinícius Dantas BarretoHendrik Teixeira MacedoGilton José Ferreira da SilvaBruno Otávio Piedade Prado
