| Does competition policy promote collaborative innovation? Evidence from the Fair Competition Review System. By Liu, Weiqi Applied Economics Letters. Jan2026, p1-11. 11p. 3 Illustrations. Abstract :Using the Fair Competition Review System (FCRS) introduced in 2016 as a quasi-natural experiment, this study examines the effect of competition policy on corporate collaborative innovation. Drawing on data of Chinese listed firms from 2011 to 2021, we find that the FCRS significantly enhances inter-firm patent co-applications, particularly in regions with stronger administrative monopoly. The effect operates through reducing institutional transaction costs, improving information disclosure, and optimizing market competition. These results underscore the role of competition policy in fostering collaborative innovation and advancing market integration in emerging economies. | |||
| Design of Logistics Platform Business Models in the View of Value Co-Creation By Huang, Ke; Wang, Fang; Bai Jie Systems; Basel Vol. 13, Iss. 8, (2025): 640. DOI:10.3390/systems13080640 Abstract :The effective design of logistics platform business models is an important means for platform-type logistics enterprises to gain a competitive advantage. This study employs RRS Logistics as a case study to clarify the dynamic environmental mechanisms of logistics platform business models from the perspective of value co-creation and build a novel structural framework for logistics platform business models with community at their core. The research findings are as follows: First, guided by the idea of “value positioning–value co–creation–value support–value maintenance–value capture”, the conceptual framework of business models is redefined. The key steps in designing logistics platform business models, which can provide guidance and assistance for different logistics platforms, are proposed. Second, the design process for logistics platform business models should be dynamically adjusted in real time according to changes and environmental uncertainty. Third, in the process of transitioning to an ecological platform, logistics platforms’ ecosystem service clusters and ecosystem envelope are key factors in achieving a win–win scenario for all the stakeholders in the community. The case studies show that in logistics platform business model design, methods and key steps based on value co-creation could enhance the core competitiveness of logistics platforms. | |||
| Design Thinking in Business: A Bibliometric Analysis and Research Agenda By Yang, Ying; Rossilah Jamil; Yao, Han; Zhang, Jiayue; Xu, Jiayi Electronic Journal of Business Research Methods: EJBRM; Reading Vol. 23, Iss. 2, (2025): 28-51. DOI:10.34190/ejbrm.23.2.4197 Abstract :This study explores the intellectual landscape, developmental trajectory, and emerging themes of design thinking (DT) in business contexts through a bibliometric analysis of 604 Scopus-indexed articles published between 2003 and 2024. Utilizing VOSviewer software, the study applies descriptive statistics, co-authorship network analysis, and keyword co-occurrence mapping to uncover key patterns. Findings indicate a growing scholarly interest in DT; however, the field remains theoretically diverse and empirically fragmented, with limited international collaboration and considerable methodological heterogeneity. Core thematic clusters include innovation management, user-centered design, and organizational change. Despite the conceptual richness, this fragmentation may hinder the formation of a coherent understanding of DT’s contribution to enterprise performance, innovation capability, and strategic advantage. By charting thematic evolution and identifying underexplored areas, this study not only maps the current research terrain but also proposes a strategic research agenda aimed at integrating DT into business theory and practice. The roadmap is intended to guide future investigations toward a deeper, more actionable understanding of how design thinking enhances organizational effectiveness and drives sustained innovation in varied business environments. | |||
