The digitalization of cattle husbandry has increased the cattle health- and welfare-related data creation and collection into multiple information systems (IS). We describe nationally the widely used cattle health and welfare data-containing IS in Estonia, Finland, Germany, and Sweden by studying their ownership and the funding, developmental views, data access, data ownership, and data integration between other IS. In addition, we describe the IS with experts and stakeholders in interviews and living labs (LLs). There are two statutory IS in each study country, while there is one non-statutory IS in Estonia and Sweden and four in Finland and Germany. The IS providers and the data integration possibilities between systems differed by study countries, while the type of data collected and the IS funding policies remained similar. In LLs, congruent views about the importance of the standardization of the collected data and the usability of these data for farm decision-making and improvement in management practices were mentioned as the main challenges for future development. To gain full benefit from the collected data, data from automatic milking systems should be integrable with the data collected into other IS. In the future, data integration should be improved for a more user-friendly approach of cattle health- and welfare-related IS, and utilization of the collected data for animal health and welfare improvement should be implemented within the cattle value chain to ensure the sustainability of the industry. Common will between public and private operators, as well as cross-border multidisciplinary cooperation, is required to fulfill these goals. © 2025 Kallio, Timonen, Tamm, Põder, Kukk, Schlereth, Ulvenblad, Ulvenblad, Tikkanen, Kilpeläinen, Barth, Abate Kassa and Viira.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing healthcare by introducing novel treatments and applications, thereby transforming the sector. However, the complexity, ambiguity, and inherent risks associated with AI can create tensions for healthcare workers that may result in stress, anxiety, and discomfort when they make decisions. These tensions are paradoxical in nature as they may present conflicting demands that can persist over time and develop into seemingly irrational situations. Understanding how these paradoxical tensions affect healthcare workers' responses to AI is crucial in addressing their concerns. This study investigates the role of paradoxical tensions and the paradoxical mindset in shaping healthcare workers' responses to AI. The study examines how these two factors influence individuals' intention to adopt AI systems and tools and evaluates the users' satisfaction with them. Using a quantitative survey design, data were collected from 357 healthcare workers. The results, based on regression analysis, indicate that paradoxical tensions positively influence both individuals' intention to adopt AI systems and tools and their satisfaction with the current use of AI systems and tools. The results also indicate that the paradoxical mindset positively mediates these relationships. © 2024 The Authors

Research Gap Innovation has brought new value opportunities to countries worldwide for decades. Albeit these advances, there are still challenges that current and future generations must face to advance society and entrepreneurship [1]. Some of these challenges are related to the circular economy and sustainable business model innovation [2–4].

Introduction By focusing on sustainable business model innovation, Geissdoerfer et al. (2018) explain that several solutions for sustainability and circularity are rooted in business modeling and enable strategic approaches to innovation [4]. These solutions target sustainable value, long-term outlooks, proactive stakeholder action, and the closing, narrowing, slowing, intensifying, and dematerializing of resource loops for a circular economy [4]. The intersection between design and implementation is where the purpose of this research lies: identifying uncaptured value.

Methods A total of five small- and medium-sized enterprises are part of this research, and the chosen methodology is a qualitative canonical development framework [5]. The methods are divided into the following three domains: the philosophical context domain, the research question domain, and the methodical content domain [5]. Subsequently, this research was operationalized through semi-structured interviews, interpretive qualitative data analysis, and descriptive first- and second-level coding.

Results The design process in sustainable business model innovation has been initiated by all the cases, supported through participation in a project focusing on sustainable transitions toward a circular economy. The cases are also entering the implementation phase, where challenges arise and are met with new decisions and actions, iteratively shaped by their entrepreneurial mindset. This is balanced by paradoxical tensions, where different strategies and intentions affect decision-making. However, the challenges associated with design and implementation can be outlined and can lead to new value opportunities, even if the cases use different terminologies depending on their respective industries. Hence, there is awareness of implementation knowledge in sustainable business model innovation when identifying uncaptured value.

Conclusions The conclusion highlights the need to identify uncaptured value in sustainable business model innovation by being iterative and enabling a circular economy. This leads to new decisions where entrepreneurs ensure that the implementation of sustainable business model innovation is successful, from a long-term perspective, moving from a linear to a circular economy. © 2025 by the authors.

The forest industry is one of the most dangerous workplaces worldwide, and although safety culture is recognized as important safety antecedent, there is still a theoretical and practical need for understanding how safety culture is co-created in the forest industry. To fill this gap, this article has the purpose of exploring mechanisms and driving forces of safety culture co-creation within the Swedish forest industry. Data is collected via on-site focus group interviews with 136 employees of a Swedish pulp- and paper factory. Data is analysed via thematic analysis. Results show that communication and engagement, safety training and knowledge sharing, reporting and risk management as well as integration of safety in daily operations are central safety culture co-creation mechanisms. Driving forces of safety culture co-creation driving forces are leadership commitment to safety, employee responsibility and collaboration, a continuous improvement mindset and work environment and psychosocial wellbeing. Central safety culture co-creation mechanisms and driving forces are identified in communication and interaction that span all individuals, teams, departments, organizational entities and hierarchical levels as basis for successful, sustainable and holistic safety culture co-creation. © 2025 by the authors.

The forest industry has high accident and injury rates, and although research and practice recognize safety culture playing an important role in sustainable accident prevention, research about how safety culture is formed jointly is scattered among disciplines and knowledge traditions. Thus, this review adopts a co-creation lens to synthesize conflicts, agreements, and future research avenues of safety culture in the forest industry and comparable high-risk manufacturing and processing industries. To this extent, a descriptive statistical analysis of 60 articles and a systematic literature review of 25 articles were conducted and combined to develop a conceptual model. The descriptive statistical analysis shows a highly international field with few international and multidisciplinary collaborations. Quantitative methods and health and engineering fields  are dominant, calling for more diverse research designs and increased international and interdisciplinary collaboration. The systematic literature review synthesizes the current research landscape, showing that safety culture is co-created in response to organizational, individual, contextual, and interventional factors. Additionally, it is shown that safety culture co-creation happens dynamically in horizontal and vertical directions in the organization, but also extends to external stakeholders. Thus, safety culture co-creation is no one-way street, but rather a dynamic and inclusive dialogue that happens vertically and horizontally within an organization, but also in relation to external factors and stakeholders. Training, communication, knowledge sharing, and collaboration are identified to be effective leverage points for practitioners to foster effective safety culture co-creation. © 2025by the authors.

Purpose: Eye-tracking technology offers significant potential in healthcare by enabling hands-free interactions that reduce physical contact and infection transmission risks. However, its adoption remains suboptimal due to barriers including unfavorable cost-benefit perceptions, digital literacy gaps and workflow disruption concerns. This study explores value co-creation interactions between technology providers and healthcare professionals that facilitate eye-tracking adoption in digitalized healthcare settings.

Design/methodology/approach: The study employs a qualitative approach drawing on exploratory and semi-structured interviews with eye-tracking technology providers and physicians who use eye-tracking in clinical practice and research. Data analysis follows a thematic analysis approach.

Findings: The findings reveal two distinct but interconnected dimensions of value co-creation interactions that enable eye-tracking adoption. Value co-production-enabling interactions encompass aligning technology capabilities with user needs, co-developing manuals and guidelines and collaboratively interpreting regulatory frameworks. Value-in-use-enabling interactions focus on aligning technology performance with end-user experience, co-developing implementation strategies and collaborative data interpretation and analysis.

Originality/value: This study contributes to healthcare digitalization literature by examining how collaborative interactions between technology providers and healthcare professionals enable complex technology adoption. Unlike previous research focusing primarily on patient-provider relationships, this study demonstrates how technology providers actively participate in healthcare value chains beyond traditional product delivery. The findings extend value co-creation theory by identifying specific interaction mechanisms within value co-production and value-in-use dimensions, contributing to understanding how collaborative approaches may support hands-free healthcare technology integration. © Luis Irgang, Wiktor Zborowski, Ernesta Stakionyte, Henrik Barth and Magnus Holmen.

Recent advancements in connectivity and automation driven by artificial intelligence (AI) is leading to trans-formative changes in the healthcare sector. This study investigates physicians' experience of AI-based technologies in healthcare. To achieve this objective, we gathered responses through open-ended essays from 326 physicians working in Swedish healthcare. These respondents have experience in using AI technologies for distinct tasks, which include prediction, diagnosis, medical image analysis, text generation, analysis, chatbots, wearable devices, telemedicine and robot assistance. The data was analyzed by thematic coding. The findings show that the physicians' perception towards use of AI in healthcare is influenced by drivers and barriers that are present at macro, organizational, system and personal level. The identified drivers include work task changes, functional aspects, organizational aspects, system characteristics and personal motivators. The barriers include legal and ethical dilemma, organizational readiness, system limitations and personal demotivators. This study leverages paradox theory as a framework to deepen the understanding of the complexities and interconnections between perceived barriers and potential solutions related to AI in healthcare as a contribution to the literature. © 2025 The Authors.

Background: Information and Communication Technology (ICT) adoption across the agricultural sector has grown and changed rapidly over the past years, which may contribute significantly to addressing global challenges. However, ICT adoption is facing technology-integrating challenges in business operations and business model innovation. Thus, to develop and strengthen a sustainable, competitive agricultural sector and to achieve profitable development, it is important to increase the knowledge of ICTs and their impacts, especially when it comes to animal welfare. Moreover, it is important to empower developed business models and governance of innovation ecosystems to release the full potential of ICT and its widespread adoption. 

Purpose: This paper aims to explore the literature on ICT and business model innovation in the Agricultural sector. The research aims to stimulate the use of ICT in the agricultural sector, recognizing the role of business model innovation in releasing the full potential of ICT and promoting the widespread adoption of ICT, and address the sustainable aspect of animal welfare.

Method: This study combines a systematic literature review approach with bibliometric analysis. To develop the Bibliometric Literature Review, Scopus and Web of Science databases were used together with software: Rayyan and VOSviewer. Rayyan was used to manage the collaboration between the researcher team during the review process. Then, the maps were created by VOSviewer. We conduct a science mapping to examine the relationships between research constituents. The techniques for science mapping include citation analysis, co-citation analysis, bibliographic coupling, co-word analysis, and co-authorship analysis.

Findings: The study shows an increasing trend of year-on-year publications, authors' performance, publication journals, associated institutions, and research-driving countries, along with key insights from co-citation network analysis. Different perspectives showed the multidisciplinary nature of the topic. It is a fragmented literature regarding the authors and countries' publications.  The results map and discuss the main issues that are covered in ICT fields and business models in agriculture, thereby providing suggestions for future research and policy. The bibliometric analysis reveals the descriptive statistics on this field and the main themes through the authors' keywords.

Research limitations/implications: The research explores a topic in the early stage to define key strands of literature. Limitations arise from the sources used to develop our analysis and how the topic appears as a frontier innovation.

Originality/value: Originality is the integration of literature strands related to ICT and business model innovation in the Agricultural sector, highlighting its multidisciplinary nature to provide a holistic understanding of the themes. 

This Bibliometric Literature Review provides a supporting output that can help both research and policies that aim to boost innovation in the agricultural sector. The paper contributes to the knowledge by organizing, rationalizing, and extending the extant literature with valuable insights about the current status of research; most cited articles, authors, journals, keywords, and contributing communities using various bibliometric techniques.

Refugee entrepreneurs can make a significant contribution to sustainable growth and development in host countries. However, comprehensive comparative studies of refugee entrepreneurial motivations are scarce, particularly in the absence of a theoretical framework on entrepreneurship motivation that is suitable for such contexts. This is a research topic that is increasingly of interest to scholars and policymakers working with refugee workforce integration, particularly in light of forecasted increases in global forced displacement over the next years. This paper tests and extends newly constructed entrepreneurship motivation measures, comparing person-related factors and the perceptions of environmental-related factors for Syrian refugee entrepreneurs in Sweden and Germany. The results indicate that their motivations differ between the two countries with respect to market conditions, the educational environment, dissatisfaction, and know-how. However, refugee entrepreneurs in both countries have similar levels of entrepreneurial ambition and attitude and are motivated by similar perceptions of social environments and cultural norms. This paper identifies how entrepreneurship motivation differences could be considered by governments to better shape and inform host countries' programs and policies to improve refugee entrepreneurship and subsequent integration. Syrian refugees in Germany and Sweden differ in their motivation to pursue entrepreneurship, as evidenced by our comparative study, emphasizing the role of country context in shaping refugees' perception of environmental factors that influence their entrepreneurial motivation. We find that Germany-based refugee entrepreneurs are more motivated by market structures and educational offerings, have more know-how, and were less prone to negative motivation resulting from experiencing dissatisfaction (e.g. due to discrimination or lack of opportunities) compared with Sweden-based refugee entrepreneurs. The results emphasize the importance of policy reforms and initiatives that provide financial, administrative, and legal assistance to refugee entrepreneurs as they start and establish their businesses, as well as specialized entrepreneurship training and education programs. We call for future research on inter-country evaluations of institutional differences and migrant integration programs as well as trans-border exchange of lessons learned and success stories, particularly in-light of prognosed increases in global forced displacement over the next years. © The Author(s) 2023
