SUMMARY:Stefania Lovo (Virtual Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Renewable energy technology adoption and the diffusion of information and behaviour in social networks: Evidence from rural China \nAbstract: This paper investigates how social networks affect renewable energy technology adoption. We distinguish between two channels through which social networks may play a role: the diffusion of information\, and the diffusion of behaviour. We conduct a survey on biogas technology adoption in rural China to identify individuals’ networks. We find that both the diffusion of information and behaviour drive farmers’ technology adoption. In addition\, we find heterogeneous social network effects. Friends and relatives or individuals that are trusted affect adoption through the diffusion of information\, while less trusted individuals such as government officials affect adoption through the diffusion of behaviour. \nWatch the recording

SUMMARY:Maxim Belitski (Virtual Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Music is in the air: What startups can learn from a jazz jam session \nAbstract: While numerous models exist that explain innovation in startups\, factors that facilitate the process of development and implementation of knowledge leading to innovation are often unknown. We use the jazz jam session model and apply the configurational perspective on 377 start-ups in the United Kingdom (2002-2016) to extend knowledge on the role that internal and external factors play in a startup innovation. We explain exploratory and exploitation type innovation through factor configurations\, contrasting to internalization of improvisation in prior research. This work may help entrepreneurs and managers to design and deliver innovation process building on the jazz jam session model. \nWatch the recording
