Measuring Process Innovation Performance at State-Owned Companies
Several state-owned companies (SOEs) have successfully implemented process innovation. Human resources and organizational factors, such as leadership, problem understanding, strategy, and culture, affected the success of process innovation in SOEs, even more than the research and development budget, support, and commitment factor of a given company. Meanwhile, cost efficiency was the main factor driving a company’s motivation to implement process innovation. The success factors in implementing process innovation are an essential consideration for the management of other SOEs eager to improve their company’s innovation performance, especially process innovation. Success factors were carried out comprehensively for all implementation indicators of process innovation, including inputs, process (idea generation, idea selection, and idea implementation), outputs and outcomes, diffusion, culture, strategies, and push and pull factors.

Renewable Energy Source Installations in EU Countries
A significant link exists between a strong degree of societal development and the integration of renewable energy sources. In less prosperous EU nations, economic growth plays a pivotal role in renewable energy development. Barriers of an administrative nature exert a notable influence on renewable energy development, especially in less affluent EU countries, while grid-related obstacles are prevalent in Southern–Central Europe. In nations where the proportion of renewable energy sources in electricity consumption is substantial, an excess of capacity in the renewable energy market significantly affects its growth.

Empowerment Dynamics in Health Management and Entrepreneurship
Empowerment dynamics refer to the processes and factors that enhance individuals' capacity to control their personal and professional lives. This concept is especially significant in various contexts, such as the health management of chronic patients and entrepreneurship, particularly in post-crisis scenarios like the COVID-19 pandemic. It encompasses access to resources, support, and opportunities that help individuals overcome challenges and achieve their objectives. A theoretical framework was developed through PhD research, elucidating the mechanisms behind these challenges and their implications for fostering diversity, social innovation, and sustainability. This approach not only compares chronic patients with entrepreneurs and validates the theoretical framework in a group of chronic patients but also proposes practical strategies to harness diversity, innovation, and entrepreneurship in post-crisis contexts.
