    Purpose: This study investigates the effects of institutional pressures on the adoption of supply chain analytics (SCA) and its subsequent impact on supply chain (SC) innovation and frugal innovation. It also examines the correlation between SC innovation and frugal innovation. Design/methodology/approach: The study collected data from manufacturing companies in Jordan. PLS path analysis is applied. Findings: The PLS path analysis showed that coercive pressures did not significantly affect the outcome, but both normative and mimetic ones were found to have significant effects on SCA adoption. The study also shows that SCA plays a significant role in SC innovation and frugal innovation. Furthermore, it demonstrates that SC innovation significantly impacts frugal innovation. Originality/value: Overall, these findings provide valuable theoretical implications to the literature by advancing our understanding of the interactive relationships between institutional pressures, SCA, SC innovation and frugal innovation. Understanding the role that institutional pressures play in SCA adoption and its subsequent impact on SC innovation and frugal innovation enables organizations to strategically position themselves for competitive advantage and sustainable growth within the dynamic field of supply chain management. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Initial coin offerings (ICOs) have emerged as a modern alternative financing instrument capable of connecting economic agents, entrepreneurs, and investors from all over the world. The benefits of blockchain technology in terms of privacy, security, and immutability make these financing tools particularly attractive. In this article, we analyze ICOs through the world’s largest global database of ICOs. The analysis has been carried out through fsQCA methodology to a sample of 75 projects funded through this funding tool and aims to answer what are the possible ways to achieve success in fundraising in an ICO. The results shed light on the importance of financial factors, such as the risk of the operation, but also related to communication and user communities for the success or failure of these campaigns. The aim of this article is to provide entrepreneurs with a tool to help them plan their ICOs, develop them in a suitable way to attract the largest amount of funds, and mobilize investors’ resources, achieving a synergy between the entrepreneur and the investor, with impactful, innovative, and profitable projects. It is also intended to contribute to the academic development of the subject with comparative qualitative studies. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
