Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The world is facing unimaginable changes and challenges in various areas and industries, with social/physical distancing and remote working are among the new challenges that may affect energy requirements and consumption. Furthermore, new solutions and public policies for the development of renewable energy are required to protect the environment and to satisfy the demands of society and the economy. Exploring how these new solutions benefit from the explanation of the firm competitive advantage in the new pandemic context and how the digitalization and industry 4.0 technologies can be used to develop new public policies in this area is of particular interest.

This Special Issue encourages researchers, academics, and industry professionals to reveal their conceptual and practical approaches, current observations, and analysis regarding public policies and the development of renewable energy. Qualitative and quantitative studies, literature reviews, syntheses, case studies, interdisciplinary research, and original research papers are welcome.

This research explores how participants in an innovation ecosystem, operating without a focal firm, can collaboratively envision and create societal value beyond their individual business goals. Using participatory action research, the investigation focuses on two cases within the offshore wind energy sector, involving four complementary enterprises and nine enterprises that are both complementary and competitive. The findings suggest that ecosystem participants can collectively pursue opportunities for sustainable value creation that surpass the interests and goals of individual firms. This shift towards a future-oriented, ecosystem-wide perspective was driven by the focus on ecosystem-level value propositions and the dynamic organizing of heterogeneous knowledge, individual behaviors, and organizational behaviors, enabling successful future-oriented sensemaking. The research process highlights practices that led to significant innovation outcomes, such as halving investments, reducing accidents and rework, accelerating operational flow, and fostering long-term investments, like a floating port for installation and maintenance improvements. This study enhances understanding of how future-oriented sensemaking in innovation ecosystems without a focal firm can drive innovation and societal value creation, offering insights for practitioners, academics, and policymakers on governance and collaborative efforts to enable value creation in innovation ecosystems.

The oil market is one of the most important markets for the global economy. Often, oil prices influence the financial results of whole countries and sectors. Therefore, the modeling and prediction of crude oil prices are of high importance. Most up-to-date publications have used daily closing rates in crude oil price modeling, not considering the variability in prices during the day. The application of this kind of price representation leads to a loss of information about the range of price changes during the day, which influences the accuracy of the models and makes them useless in short-term course predictions. In this paper, we introduce the concept of a new state model in a binary-temporal representation, which uses trend analysis, which is one of the main methods used in the prediction of the direction of future changes in the course trajectory. The model described in this paper stands as the first tool that allows for predicting course changes in a given range. The presented work also summarizes the research results of modeling crude oil prices from the last six years, which prove the effectiveness of the mentioned modeling method. Full article

The relentless advancement of digital technologies has the potential to significantly reshape the energy landscape as digital technologies become increasingly integrated into diverse sectors of the economy. This study explores the intricate relationship between digitalization and energy in EU countries, focusing on its direct and indirect impacts on energy consumption, structure, and intensity. Furthermore, this study explores the mediating mechanisms that facilitate these changes, including the role of technological innovation and government efficiency in the relationship between digitalization and energy outcomes. Focusing on EU countries and using the system-GMM method, this research accounts for the heterogeneity in the impact of digitalization on energy across various member states. It examines the varying effects in different countries, considering their income levels, environmental regulations, and green investments. The results demonstrate that the strategic deployment of digitalization in EU countries substantially benefits the energy sector. By optimizing energy consumption and enhancing the energy structure through the integration of renewable sources, the EU could move closer to its sustainability objectives. Full article
