The Research Excellence Award recognizes scholarly achievement and sustained contribution to research within a defined academic or professional field. This recognition profile presents Yaser Khojasteh of Concordia University, Canada, in the context of research associated with Innovation Strategy. The profile is based on the researcher-identification information supplied for the award record and publicly identifiable researcher-profile platforms. [1] [2]

Abstract

Yaser Khojasteh is a researcher affiliated with Concordia University in Canada whose supplied researcher profile identifies Innovation Strategy as a principal subject area. The Research Excellence Award profile documents his academic identity through a Scopus author identifier and an ORCID identifier, providing persistent mechanisms for distinguishing the researcher and associating scholarly records with the appropriate author. [1] [2]

Innovation strategy encompasses the development and implementation of approaches through which organizations identify opportunities, develop new or improved offerings, and align innovation activities with broader strategic objectives. Within this context, research recognition may consider the relevance, rigor, continuity, and documented influence of scholarly work rather than relying on a single bibliometric indicator. [3]

Keywords

  • Innovation Strategy
  • Research Excellence
  • Strategic Innovation
  • Innovation Management
  • Academic Research
  • Research Impact
  • Organizational Innovation
  • Strategic Management

Introduction

Research excellence is generally evaluated through a combination of scholarly quality, contribution to knowledge, research dissemination, collaboration, and demonstrable influence. Bibliographic and researcher-identification systems can support the accurate attribution and discovery of scholarly outputs, while persistent identifiers such as ORCID provide a mechanism for distinguishing researchers with similar or changing names. [1] [2]

In innovation strategy research, scholarly inquiry may examine how firms formulate innovation objectives, allocate resources, develop capabilities, respond to technological or market changes, and integrate innovation with competitive and organizational strategy. Such research connects strategic management concepts with the processes through which organizations pursue innovation and adapt to changing environments. [3]

The present article therefore frames the supplied researcher information as an academic recognition profile rather than as an independent bibliometric audit. Quantitative indicators such as publication counts, citations, and h-index values can change over time and should be verified against the current authoritative profile before being used for formal evaluation.

Research Profile

Yaser Khojasteh is identified in the supplied award information as being affiliated with Concordia University, Canada. His Scopus Author ID is 54947302500, while his ORCID identifier is 0000-0002-4494-4316. These identifiers provide complementary mechanisms for locating and distinguishing scholarly records associated with the researcher. [1] [2]

Research Contributions

The supplied subject-area classification places the researcher within Innovation Strategy, a field concerned with the strategic dimensions of innovation and organizational change. Research in this area can contribute to understanding how organizations develop innovation capabilities, formulate strategic responses to emerging opportunities, and connect innovation activities with long-term organizational objectives. [3]

  • Examination of strategic approaches to innovation and organizational development.
  • Investigation of relationships between innovation activities and broader strategic objectives.
  • Contribution to scholarly discussions concerning innovation management and strategic decision-making.
  • Development or application of research perspectives relevant to organizations operating in changing competitive environments.

These contribution areas describe the academic relevance of the stated subject area and should not be interpreted as a complete inventory of the researcher’s individual publications or findings. Specific claims about individual studies should be supported by the corresponding publication records.

Publications

The supplied information identifies a Scopus author profile and a Google Scholar profile for Yaser Khojasteh. These services provide routes for discovering indexed publications and citation information. Because publication counts, citation counts, and indexed records may change as databases are updated, the current researcher profiles should be consulted when preparing a formal publication list or bibliometric assessment. [1] [4]

No individual publication titles, DOI identifiers, document counts, citation totals, or h-index values were supplied as fixed data for this article. Accordingly, this page does not assign numerical bibliometric values that have not been independently established.

Where a publication has an assigned DOI, the DOI should be used as a persistent identifier for the specific scholarly work. For example, a DOI record can be accessed through the DOI resolution service. Individual DOI links should be added only after verifying the DOI against the corresponding publication record.

Research Impact

Research impact may be assessed through multiple forms of evidence, including scholarly citations, publication visibility, research collaboration, knowledge dissemination, practical application, and contribution to disciplinary development. Bibliometric databases such as Scopus and Google Scholar can provide useful indicators, but their coverage and counting methodologies differ. [1] [4]

For a researcher working in Innovation Strategy, potential impact can also be considered in relation to the usefulness of research for understanding organizational innovation, strategic adaptation, innovation capability, and decision-making. A balanced evaluation should therefore consider both quantitative indicators and the substantive contribution of individual research outputs.

The supplied profile information provides researcher identifiers and institutional affiliation but does not provide verified current numerical metrics for citations, documents, or h-index. These fields are consequently marked as not specified rather than estimated.

Award Suitability

The Research Excellence Award profile is academically aligned with the supplied information because the researcher is associated with a university institution and a defined scholarly subject area, Innovation Strategy. The profile also includes persistent researcher identifiers that can assist in verifying scholarly identity and locating research outputs. [1] [2]

The recognition is associated with the World Business Global Awards. Award suitability should ultimately be determined according to the event’s published eligibility requirements, nomination procedures, evaluation criteria, and verification standards. The award website should therefore be consulted for the current official requirements. [5]

  • Documented academic affiliation and researcher identity.
  • A stated research focus in Innovation Strategy.
  • Availability of persistent scholarly identifiers for research-record verification.
  • Potential for evaluating research outputs using publication and citation evidence.

Conclusion

Yaser Khojasteh, affiliated with Concordia University in Canada, is presented in this profile as a researcher associated with Innovation Strategy. The supplied Scopus and ORCID identifiers provide useful mechanisms for distinguishing the researcher and locating associated scholarly records. [1] [2]

The Research Excellence Award profile provides a structured academic recognition framework while avoiding unsupported bibliometric claims. Current publication records, citation indicators, and award requirements should be verified directly through the relevant scholarly databases and official award source before being used for formal academic, institutional, or professional purposes.
