Understanding the determinants of the intention to innovate with open government data among potential commercial innovators: a risk perspective
本研究从风险视角调查了影响潜在商业创新者利用开放政府数据创新意愿的因素,发现财务、技术、需求和数据不确定性通过感知风险负向影响创新意愿,而竞争不确定性则无显著影响。
Purpose This study aims to examine factors influencing potential commercial innovators' intention to innovate with open government data (OGD) via a risk perspective. Design/methodology/approach The authors develop a theoretical model that explains how different forms of uncertainty (i.e. financial, technology, competitive, demand, and data) and their inter-relationships influence potential commercial innovators' intention to innovate with OGD. The model is tested using survey data collected from 144 potential commercial innovators from a developed Asian country. Findings The results suggest that all other forms of uncertainty, except competitive uncertainty, negatively influence potential commercial innovators' intention to innovate, mediated by their perceived risk of innovating with OGD. The results also show positive relationships between different forms of uncertainty, i.e. competitive and financial, demand and competitive, data and financial uncertainty. Originality/value This paper identifies major forms of innovation uncertainty, perceived risk, their inter-relationships, and impacts on the intention to innovate with OGD. It also finds support for a unique form of uncertainty for OGD innovation (i.e. data uncertainty).
