  abstract     = {{Previous CSCW research has paid increasing attention to regional innovation systems providing the context for CSCW research and design. In this paper we provide insights into attempts to intervene in such a regional innovation system via practice-oriented activities. Our findings describe experiences of co-creating knowledge around digitization of SMEs on a regional level, beyond individual company contexts. We reflect on the benefits and challenges such an approach affords and highlight the importance of interpersonal relationships and similarities between practices in different contexts to enable intended but also initially unexpected knowledge spillovers. Our findings highlight how a praxeological approach to CSCW can be influential in regional development programs, and open this field to CSCW research and design. We draw out lessons for similar interventions and outline fruitful avenues for future research.}},

  abstract     = {{The conditions under which R&D resources are allocated either to individual or collective R&D projects are largely unexplored. We contribute to closing this gap by asking under which conditions firms – each of which occupies a unique position along the automotive industry value chain – may overcome innovation barriers and spend scarce resources for collective R&D projects. We use a framed laboratory experiment to scrutinize the of different situations on the decision to spend the R&D budget for individual or collective R&D projects. The framing originates from a real-world case study of the massive metal forging industry. We identify constellations that support budget spending for collaborative purposes, e.g., sequential decision-making, which also increase the overall welfare, even in the case of unequally distributed R&D budgets.}},

  abstract     = {{The automotive industry is extremely important in Germany and its OEMs and suppliers are still globally competitive. However, the shift from combustion engines to e-mobility drive trains is restructuring the industry. Accordingly, this paper analyzes the determinants affecting the emergence of e-mobility drive technologies in the automotive sector. In doing so, we emphasize the role of digital technologies in the sector’s environmental transformation, drawing from the “twin-transition” framework, where digital and green shifts mutually influence one another. Methodically, we use an event-history approach to empirically explore the early appearance of R&D activities in the form of patent-based or funded-project-based collaboration events at the regional level over the period 1990 to 2018. Our results indicate positive and significant relatedness between various digitalization variables and the early emergence of e-mobility activities in regions. At the same time, the geographical context appears to be only of marginal importance.}},

  abstract     = {{Using data from a survey of 3,700 German establishments, this study examines how the adoption of new digital technologies correlates with key labour market indicators: new hires, workload intensification and workforce qualifications. Findings from interviews reveal a mixed impact of digitalisation on job demands and employment dynamics. While some firms experience workforce relief, others face heightened workload pressures. Despite widespread adoption, there is scant evidence of significant job losses attributed to technology integration. Instead, the data suggests a modest trend towards job creation. Notably, investment in workforce training emerges as a crucial factor in managing the digital transition.}},

  abstract     = {{We explore the determinants affecting the emergence of the “pervaded banking system” (PBS) – a mixed system encompassing traditional banks and continuously entering fintech companies – in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. Drawing on a sample of 604 fintech companies and 802 banks, we compile an unbalanced panel dataset between 2015 and 2019 and employ a fixed-effects negative binomial model to analyze tie formation processes between fintech companies and banks using three analytical perspectives: (i) geographical colocation, (ii) network embeddedness, and (iii) combined effects. Our empirical results demonstrate that geographical factors, network-related drivers, and combined effects positively impact the formation of ties between banks and fintech companies. This study contributes to the debate in small business literature by illuminating how small firms affect system emergence. We make recommendations for bank and fintech managers, as well as political decision-makers, who need a profound systemic understanding to adapt strategies and set the institutional framework.}},
