  • AI- and robotics-driven reconfiguration of a traditional industry

    Open AccessRicarda B Bouncken, Beate CesingerARTICLETechnology in Society2026

    Agriculture 4.0 is introducing digital tools – especially AI and robotics – into farming. More importantly it is transforming one of the world’s most traditional industries, a sector historically anchored in manual labor, tacit knowledge, family-values, product-centric exchange, and deeply sedimented social practices. AI, robotics, connected machinery, and data infrastructures challenge these foundations by shifting agricultural work from human o…

  • Family firms’ digital transformation

    Open AccessRicarda B Bouncken, Jeffrey G Covin et al.ARTICLESmall Business Economics2026

    How do family firms navigate digital transformation? Drawing on 25 interviews across ten cases (2018–2024), we identify three tension fields that shape the scale and pace of digitalization: internal development vs. external sourcing, reliance on trusted partners vs. opening new ties, and the diffusion of family control. We theorize five propositions showing how familiness conditions collaboration strategies, risk posture, and implementation speed…

  • The role of strategic orientations for digital innovation

    Open AccessKai He, Ricarda B Bouncken et al.ARTICLETechnological Forecasting and…2024

    Today, firms increasingly need to strategically manage their digital innovation while aligning it with their strategic behaviors (i.e., entrepreneurial and sustainability orientations). Given the lack of previous research on alignment and digital innovation , our study explores and tests how a firm's sustainability and entrepreneurial orientations influence digital innovation. Given that firms can implement diverse digital technologies, we study …

  • Microfoundations and dynamics of do-it-yourself ecosystems

    Open AccessYixin Qiu, Ricarda B Bouncken et al.ARTICLETechnological Forecasting and…2023

    Small-scale do-it-yourself (DIY) practices have driven emerging user communities and global movements. As research on ecosystems has proliferated, limited insights have been generated on the interdependent and dynamic nature of DIY ecosystems. Drawing on observations of a locally established space for DIY activities (“makerspace”) with international networks, a flexible pattern matching approach was adopted in explaining how disparate projects pl…

  • Fluffy cuffs

    Open AccessRicarda B Bouncken, Martin Ratzmann et al.ARTICLESmall Business Economics2023

    Supplier firms, especially the more resource constraint SMEs, form alliances for product innovation. Supplier firms can try to push in creative inputs while needing to align them with the overall solution of the buyer. Our study zooms in on this push and alignment balancing act. Our theoretical model is informed by the attention-based view. It considers two centralization mechanisms, relationship intensity and formalized specifications of the buy…

  • The double-edged sword of cultural distance in international alliances

    Open AccessRobin Pesch, Ricarda B BounckenARTICLECross Cultural & Strategic…2017Cited by: 9References: 13

    Purpose While previous studies have primarily assumed dysfunctional effects of cultural distance in joint ventures and M&A, this paper elucidates from a positive organizational scholarship perspective how perceived cultural distance can advance firms’ new product development within non-equity alliances. The purpose of this paper is to explain how perceived cultural distance stimulates task discourse that supports alliance partners’ employees in r…

  • Interkulturelle Kooperation.

    Ricarda B BounckenEDITORBOOKInterkulturelle Kooperation :…2006

    Vorteile der "Globalisierung" sind auf interkultureller Zusammenarbeit begründet. Interkulturalität bedeutet immer, dass verschiedene Systeme, vor allem Werte- und Denksysteme, die durch Nationalkulturen geprägt sind, miteinander in Kontakt kommen. Dieses Aufeinandertreffen kann trotz aller Potentiale auch Schwierigkeiten auslösen. Dieser Band verbessert die Kenntnis der Unterschiede, erarbeitet Lösungsvorschläge und trägt so zu einer besseren in…
