Abstract

This conceptual study employs a Critical Realist approach with context-mechanism-outcome (CMO) logic to examine how boundary objects facilitate design-led innovation through dynamic capability development. It is conceptually framed by boundary object theory and dynamic capability theory. This study develops a conceptual framework linking different types of boundary objects to key dynamic capabilities (sensing, seizing, reconfiguring) and posits that these shared artefacts and processes act as generative mechanisms driving innovation outcomes across diverse contexts. This CMO-based perspective provides a nuanced explanation of how specific contexts activate these mechanisms to shape innovation results. The primary contribution of this study is a set of theoretical propositions delineating how various boundary objects serve as generative mechanisms in design-led innovation. This bridges boundary object theory with dynamic capability theory and enriches our understanding of cross-boundary knowledge integration and organizational adaptability.

Abstract

This article explores the portrait of tourism entrepreneurship in the context of a super-priority destination. This study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining a survey of 73 tourism entrepreneurs and an in-depth interview with four entrepreneurs representing the dominant business sectors of food and beverage service, creative business, accommodation, and tourist attraction within the destination. The findings revealed that most businesses were relevant to food and beverage and creative initiatives. They were relatively mature in the tourism business, with the primary motive for the business opportunity being financial benefits. The critical business challenges identified were inadequate marketing prowess, reduction in demand, shortage of human skills and lack of collaboration among stakeholders. In general, the current development of tourism entrepreneurship in this area is in a phase of slight increase. The findings contributed to the enrichment of the literature on tourism entrepreneurship. This study also supported business development, informed policymakers, and promoted sustainable tourism development.
