Stage-specific drivers and bottlenecks in agricultural innovation ecosystems: Evidence from agricultural science and technology professionals' three-stage innovation behavior

Key Points

This research aims to identify stage-specific drivers and bottlenecks in agricultural innovation ecosystems.
Utilized Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to analyze effects
Applied Necessity Condition Analysis (NCA) to distinguish net effects from necessary bottlenecks
Explored three innovation stages in agricultural science and technology
Identified infrastructure as a crucial factor for early idea generation
Found that open and interactive networks significantly enhance diffusion and implementation
Distinguished between drivers and bottlenecks across different innovation stages

Abstract

• We identify stage-specific drivers across three innovation stages. • SEM and NCA distinguish net effects from necessary bottlenecks. • Infrastructure is a key prerequisite for early idea generation. • Open and interactive networks are critical for diffusion and implementation.
