RESUMO
PurposeThe authors observe the influence of intellectual capital (IC) on innovation performance with the mediating role of interorganizational learning (IOL) in the Pakistani automotive industry. Besides, industrial Internet of things (IoT) technology is used as moderating variables between IOL and innovation performance.Design/methodology/approachStructural equation modeling (SEM) presents scholars with extra flexibility and enhanced research conclusions. SEM is described as a statistical methodology and the best tool used for hypothesis testing. The authors used partial least squares SEM for testing hypotheses. The simple random sampling technique followed to collect data from respondents, and 492 questionnaires were used for analysis.FindingsThe outcomes reveal that IC enhances innovation performance and IOL. Moreover, IOL increases innovation performance. IOL significantly mediates between IC and innovation performance. Industrial IoT technology improves innovation performance. Finally, industrial IoT technology strengthens the positive association between IOL and innovation performance.Practical implicationsThis study concentrates on the issue of how managers use IOL and industrial IoT technology to take higher advantage of IC that increases innovation performance.Originality/valueThis is the initial study that builds a theoretical framework to integrate IC, IOL, industrial IoT technology and innovation performance. Although prior researchers observe the association between IC and innovation performance, less concentration was paid to understand the role of interorganizational leadership and industrial IoT technology in leveraging organizational IC.
RESUMO
The next-generation cellular network will aim to overcome the existing Fifth Generation (5G) networks' shortcomings. At the moment, academics and business are concentrating their efforts on the Sixth Generation (6G) network. This 6G technology is expected to be the next great game-changer in the telecommunications sector. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the entire globe has turned to virtual meetings and live video interactions in various fields as healthcare, business, and education. We explore the most recent viewpoints and future technology trends that are most likely to drive 6G in this paper. The incorporation of blockchain in 6G, will allow the network to efficiently monitor and manage resource consumption and sharing. We explore the potential of blockchain for sharing in 6G utilizing a variety of application scenarios in the smart city. To strengthen security and privacy in 6G networks, we introduce potential difficulties and solutions with various 6G technologies. In addition, we examine the security and privacy issues that may arise as a result of the current 6G standards and prospective 6G uses. Overall, our study aims to give insightful direction for future 6G security and privacy research. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
RESUMO
A digital replica of any physical system or process is referred to as a digital twin (DT). In general, a DT is a software program that accepts real-world data of a physical system at ground level as inputs and creates useful outputs in the form of insights. At the moment, the manufacturing industry and business are concentrating their efforts on this technology. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the entire globe has turned to virtual meetings and live video interactions in various fields as health care, business, and education. We explore the most recent viewpoints and future technology trends that are most likely to drive DT in this study. The incorporation of blockchain in DT will allow the network to efficiently monitor and manage resource consumption and sharing. The idea of a digital twin of a smart city is presented in this article. Smart city development aims to enhance not just the city's overall performance, but also its basic infrastructure, procedures, and facilities, as well as its socioeconomic wellbeing. In order to strengthen security and privacy in smart cities, we examine how security may influence the DT. We offer a complete analysis of blockchain-based DT in this article. Overall, our study aims to give insightful direction for digital twin security and privacy research. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
RESUMO
COVID-19 has disrupted normal life and has enforced a substantial change in the policies, priorities and activities of individuals, organisations and governments. These changes are proving to be a catalyst for technology and innovation. In this paper, we discuss the pandemic's potential impact on the adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) in various broad sectors, namely healthcare, smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, transportation and industrial IoT. Our perspective and forecast of this impact on IoT adoption is based on a thorough research literature review, a careful examination of reports from leading consulting firms and interactions with several industry experts. For each of these sectors, we also provide the details of notable IoT initiatives taken in the wake of COVID-19. We also highlight the challenges that need to be addressed and important research directions that will facilitate accelerated IoT adoption.

In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has gained convincing research ground as a new research topic in a wide variety of academic and industrial disciplines, especially in healthcare. The IoT revolution is reshaping modern healthcare systems by incorporating technological, economic, and social prospects. It is evolving healthcare systems from conventional to more personalized healthcare systems through which patients can be diagnosed, treated, and monitored more easily. The current global challenge of the pandemic caused by the novel severe respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 presents the greatest global public health crisis since the pandemic influenza outbreak of 1918. At the time this paper was written, the number of diagnosed COVID-19 cases around the world had reached more than 31 million. Since the pandemic started, there has been a rapid effort in different research communities to exploit a wide variety of technologies to combat this worldwide threat, and IoT technology is one of the pioneers in this area. In the context of COVID-19, IoT-enabled/linked devices/applications are utilized to lower the possible spread of COVID-19 to others by early diagnosis, monitoring patients, and practicing defined protocols after patient recovery. This paper surveys the role of IoT-based technologies in COVID-19 and reviews the state-of-the-art architectures, platforms, applications, and industrial IoT-based solutions combating COVID-19 in three main phases, including early diagnosis, quarantine time, and after recovery.
