Authors:Kaushik V. Pandya, Arun Sukumar, Vahid Jafari-Sadeghi, Richard Tomlins Pages: 347 - 367 Abstract: This study investigates the influencing mechanism between IT capabilities and the firm's performance. We believe that business process is the principal factor and suggest that IT capabilities improve business process and subsequently enhance the firm's performance. The study of the underlying factors among IT capabilities, business performance, and firm's performance is considered rare and although some researchers have introduced conceptual models and empirical tests, they are not able to support the cumulative model. It is found out that IT capabilities have a significant and positive relationship to the firm's performance. Besides, business process reengineering, and process efficiency contribute more to this relationship by mediating effect. This study will benefit business researchers, strategic researchers and managers in various industries because this will contribute to a better understanding of IT capabilities, business process, and firm's performance to a greater extent and provide fundamentals for strategic decisions in IT investments of a firm.

Authors:Lourden Selvamani, P.G. Arul Pages: 368 - 390 Abstract: This study examines the universities committed efforts towards sustainable development under university third mission. We provide an exploratory study on innovation output as results of research towards sustainable development. The paper explores 930 Indian higher educational academic institutions' environmentally sound technologies patenting activity and their collaborations for almost past 14 years. Based on the patent application dataset of World Intellectual Property Organization's Patentscope database and green patent inventory, we identify trends, key players along with dominance area of invention filings and important players in collaborative network structure by using Openrefiine, Microsoft excel, Gephi for visualisation and analysis. Our results present the environmentally sound technological patent fillings are inferior, although overall filings have grown and only a small group of institutions are active in patent filings. We conclude the third mission's inclusion of research for sustainable developmental is evolving slowly, and that it requires more commitments.

Authors:Anjum Zameer Bhat, Baldev Singh, Bilal Ahmed Pandow Pages: 391 - 398 Abstract: Most of the organisations have deployed communication and information systems that provide them seamless connectivity with partners and branches, and control on the resources, resulting in efficiency, easy management, time saving and enhanced productivity. As information and communication systems are becoming part and parcel of organisations without which modern enterprises cannot even think of existence, their reliability, security and cost effectiveness are some major concerns for enterprises to deal with. The adoption of cloud computing had been a revolutionary milestone in this regard. Higher education institutions have also benefited from cloud implementations. The cloud implementations in higher education in Sultanate of Oman although being abysmally low has a gradual shift towards cloud hosting and implementation of clouds in higher education institutions. This research is a mere effort to highlight the economic benefits that higher education establishments can achieve by the implementation of cloud computing.

Authors:Veland Ramadani, Fitore Jashari, Shqipe Gërguri-Rashiti, Ramo Palalić Pages: 399 - 417 Abstract: The current trend of new technologies allows us to witness and experience unprecedented growth in digital entrepreneurship. The current state of the art suggests that digital entrepreneurship can be predicted by digital entrepreneurial intentions, in turn driven by attitudes, and understanding the factors impacting decision-making can therefore be very valuable. While most research has been conducted in post-industrial countries, emerging countries have been neglected. Formerly Ottoman and later a laggard constituent of Yugoslavia, Kosovo is now a nation of high-growth and rapid modernisation, and yet little research has focused on such countries. This paper contributes to this gap in term of knowledge, particularly understanding the factors that impact digital intentions and attitudes, as predictors of digital entrepreneurial activity. Findings reveal that, digital entrepreneurship education and interaction with role models positively impact attitudes toward digital entrepreneurship. Implications are discussed with recommendations. Keywords: digital entrepreneurship; entrepreneurial intentions; attitudes; education; Kosovo Citation: International Journal of Technology Transfer and Commercialisation, Vol. 18, No. 4 (2021) pp. 399 - 417 PubDate: 2022-01-11T23:20:50-05:00 DOI: 10.1504/IJTTC.2021.120203 Issue No:Vol. 18, No. 4 (2022)

Authors:Zimu Xu, Arun Sukumar, Vahid Jafari-Sadeghi, Fujia Li, Richard Tomlins Pages: 418 - 438 Abstract: The notion of the entrepreneurial ecosystem has gained considerable traction in recent years. Ecosystem approach is considered as a useful mechanism in supporting entrepreneurial activities, regional economic development and addressing sustainable development goals. This paper explores the entrepreneurial ecosystem concept and its applicability in the context of the gaming industry. By looking at Brazilian gaming industry, this paper explores the variations in entrepreneurial ecosystems that are favourable for technology-dependent industries such as gaming, especially in developing economies. The paper follows a qualitative approach using document analysis and attempts to develop a local-global (LOGO) framework that examines current evidence in the digital gaming ecosystem. Findings of this research suggest that, depending on the ecosystem maturity, components of an ecosystem play either a dominant global role or a weaker local role in supporting entrepreneurial initiatives. When serving a global market, ecosystems change and mature, so do the roles played by their components. The proposed conceptual framework re-visits the entrepreneurial ecosystem approach and its role in the development of the gaming industry. The paper contributes by extending the current theory pertaining to ecosystem approaches and suggests practical routes for ecosystem components to work effectively in scaling from a local to a global market. Keywords: entrepreneurial ecosystem; digital gaming; business growth; Brazilian gaming industry Citation: International Journal of Technology Transfer and Commercialisation, Vol. 18, No. 4 (2021) pp. 418 - 438 PubDate: 2022-01-11T23:20:50-05:00 DOI: 10.1504/IJTTC.2021.120204 Issue No:Vol. 18, No. 4 (2022)

Authors:Neelu Tiwari, Naveen Kumar Singh, Rajni Singh, Rudra Rameshwar Pages: 439 - 461 Abstract: Telecom industries are sensitive to customer churn prediction management system, which is popularly known as predictive analytics. Digital network and linked IT have severs that need customer churn prediction models. It is a great challenge for them to deal with a massive amount of data generated across fields. This research is a comprehensive study to develop a 'customer churn prediction model' by identifying potential churners using predictive analytics, concerning critical evaluation through pro-active-attrition management logistic regression. Such model and research work can help to identify customers, that are more likely to churn, save from fraudulent activities, inactive, or non-payment subscribers. The dataset is a scaled-down version of the full database generously donated by an anonymous wireless telephone company. There are 71,047 customers in the database and 75 potential predictors (total 78 variables) that combine the calibration and validation. Results show that the reason behind the customer churn is customer attrition.
