Title: Inter-Firm Industrial Networks: 
Abstract:
  Network cooperation among firms in the presence of rapid processes of
 innovation and external turbulence is emerging as a new organisational
 paradigm. This paper utilises a distinction between 'classical' networking
 between firms in close proximity to each other, as in industrial
 districts, which are termed 'innovative milieux', and the joint venturing
 that occurs between firms that complement each other's activities, but may
 be separated in space; this latter form is termed networking proper. The
 costs and benefits of these two alternative forms of industrial evolution
 are discussed.

Title: Journal of Industry Studies 
Abstract:
  In recent years the European Community has implemented a policy approach
 to industry development that favours regional patterns of cooperation
 amongst small and medium-sized firms, as against the traditional model of
 scale-intensive industry. The paper argues that this approach is informed
 by the success of Italian industrial districts, and in particular by the
 public policy frameworks supporting them. The recent difficulties
 encountered by the districts, as they seek to adapt to new competitive
 pressures, provides the focus for a reflection on the new directions that
 European intervention policy might take.

Title: Product Development And Production Networks: 
Abstract:
  Conventional views of comparative advantage hold that capital-inten-sive
 manufacture should be located in industrialised nations, while
 labour-intensive aspects should locate in developing nations. This view
 has had to come to terms with the fact that countries such as South Korea,
 Taiwan and now Mexico are 'creating' their own comparative advantage in
 advanced manufacturing through investments in skills and infrastructure.
 The case of the automotive industry in Mexico illustrates the working out
 of this new approach, as well as highlighting the difficulties and
 barriers that such countries face, particularly in new product development
 capacity.

Title: Japanese New-Product Development Techniques 
Abstract:
  Yasuhiro Monden The Japanese automotive industry has already become a
 by-word for lean production efficiency. Recently attention has shifted to
 its new-product development activities, and in particular to the
 techniques of simultaneous engineering that generate superior performance
 when contrasted with the traditional linear and sequential approaches. The
 paper probes the cost management system that underpins the Japanese
 automotive product-development system, enabling a network of producers and
 suppliers to work cooperatively and in parallel through successive
 prototyping stages of the process. The core concept is the iterative
 development of a 'target cost' for each component of the process.

Title: Global R&D networks 
Abstract:
  The pharmaceutical industry is of considerable interest because of the
 significance of R&D and marketing expenditures in securing competitive
 advantage. The vast costs and risks entailed in new product development
 have spawned an international network of cooperative alliances between
 large pharmaceutical companies and small biotechnology companies, creating
 a complex web of inter-organisa-tional linkages spanning the globe.
 Without formal acknowledgment, this essentially cooperative network pools
 the resources of cash and expertise required to bring radically new
 technologies, products and processes to the market, in an atmosphere of
 fierce global competition between the major companies. The paper examines
 the case of Merck and its carefully constructed AIDS programme, which
 balances in-house development with longterm alliances forged with smaller
 firms and sometimes with competitors.

Title: Tcg R&D Networks 
Abstract:
  Whilst inter-organisational networks are increasingly significant in
 making production systems more flexible and responsive, these
 organisational arrangements could be even more important in other phases
 of the production cycle, and particularly in new product development. The
 literature on R&D and technological innovation has come to stress the role
 that 'networks of innovators' play in the R&D, product development and
 marketing phase of technological innovation. This 'fusion-network' model
 stands in marked contrast to the previously dominant model of innovation
 which envisaged the process as a linear sequence from one technology to
 another, with R&D conducted as a proprietary activity within a single
 firm. The Australian high-technology group TCG, which operates internally
 as a cluster of autonomous small firms, has developed a unique
 'triangular' approach to fusion networking, which has now been perfected
 through several successful experiences with leading firms. Case studies of
 the approach are described, and its significance as an industry
 development strategy is analysed.

Title: The Volvo Uddevalla Plant 
Abstract:
  Volvos plants at Kalmar and, more recently at Uddevalla, have become
 noted throughout the world for their sociotechnical design and high levels
 of performance, breaking with mass production norms. Hence the statement
 from Volvo that both plants are to be closed, in order to meet the
 competitive threat from Japan, has come as a shock and a disappointment to
 those who saw them as embodying a viable alternative to lean production.
 This paper makes the case that Uddevalla had a productive and commercial
 potential unmatched elsewhere in the Volvo group, and that the decision to
 close the plant must have been taken on other grounds.

Title: Bargaining For Competitive Advantage 
Abstract:
  An oft-overlooked instrument of industry policy is the purchasing power
 of the state. States can use their purchasing power as a means to
 influence the activities of multinational enterprises (MNEs) and to foster
 innovation, technology transfer and exports. The principal means of
 achieving this is through the vehicle of offsets. The paper analyses the
 evolution of Australia's civil offsets policy from its inception in 1970
 when it was first used as a tool of industry development. 'More recently,
 the Australian government has used its state purchasing power in the
 Partnerships for Development scheme, a programme designed to promote
 strategic alliances between MNEs and domestic firms in the information
 industries. These programs highlight the changing relationship between
 states and MNEs and demonstrate a continuing role for the state in
 bargaining over the conditions which shape competitive advantage in and
 inter-dependent global economy.

Title: The Learning Economy 
Abstract:
  Modern economies can be characterised as 'learning economies' in which
 knowledge is the crucial resource and learning is the most important
 process. Different kinds of learning and economically relevant types of
 knowledge can likewise be identified. It is argued that pure market
 economies, if such existed, would have severe problems in terms of
 learning and innovation. The 'learning economy' is a mixed economy in a
 fundamental sense.

Title: Surviving Competition Through Cooperation 
Abstract:
  The paper focuses on the formation, evolution and crisis of the 1989
 AT&T-Italtel collaborative venture, which eventually led to a new
 partnership between the Italian equipment manufacturer and Siemens AG in
 1994. This experience is discussed in the more general setting where the
 partners' mutual advantages from cooperation are defined and evolve over
 time, in the presence of high information asymmetry and of a turbulent
 competitive environment.

Title: Low Trust And Opportunism In Action 
Abstract:
  Recent changes in the nature of competition increase the potential for
 opportunism between firms. Without more trusting relations, poor
 performance arises because of opportunism. Moving away from the
 literature's stress on overly dense success stories, the paper gives
 evidence on opportunism in action in the UK engineering construction
 industry, 1960-80, where low-trust relations underlay chronically poor
 performance. The paper details the conditions necessary for the systemic
 reproduction of opportunism, and analyses why more trusting relations did
 not emerge; in the process, it subjects Williamson's conceptual framework
 to critical analysis.

Title: The Birth of New Firms In Italian Manufacturing 
Abstract:
  This paper is concerned with the dynamics of new firm formation in
 Italian manufacturing industry. New firms, which tend to be of small size,
 need to be examined with the help of specific measures of entry and their
 formation explained by means of specific determinants. In particular, it
 is assumed that individuals tend to establish small firms mainly through a
 comparison of their current labour earnings and the expected profits of
 their new business activity; their choice is also influenced by other
 factors related to the structure and the growth perspectives of the
 relevant industry and to labour market conditions. Policy implications of
 this perspective are sketched.

Title: Innovation Alliances In Taiwan 
Abstract:
  In the 1990s Taiwan has developed a series of innovative 'technology
 alliances' which bring small and large firms together into consortia
 targeted at high-tech product development in strategic sectors. Technology
 transfer and coordination is provided by public sector agencies and
 research institutes, with industry associations also playing a
 coordinating role. If successful, these alliances will provide an
 alternative national model of innovation that is not dependent on large
 firms or global alliances.

Title: Industrial Policies In A Maturing Taiwan Economy 
Abstract:
  Taiwan's successful industrialisation process with significant structural
 change now spans four decades. This paper analyses the role of small and
 medium enterprises and the development of secondary import substitution
 industries in Taiwan in relation to some policy debates. It is argued that
 market friendly and self-restrained industrial policies were key to the
 success of Taiwan's fast industrialisation. However, when Taiwan entered a
 more matured economy in the 1980s, a more liberal industrial policy was
 introduced.

Title: An Overview Of Policy Priorities For Industrial Development In Taiwan 
Abstract:
  Taiwan's industrial development policies can be decomposed into three
 periods over the past four decades. The first is the period before 1980
 when industrial policy gradually shifted from import substitution to
 export expansion; the next period is in the 1980s, when various government
 policies were introduced to encourage accumulation of capital and to
 enhance R&D efforts; and the most recent period is the 1990s, when special
 targeted industrial development programs have been introduced to
 strengthen Taiwan's overall industrial competitiveness in the world
 market. This paper examines and explains the evolution of these policy
 changes.

Title: Foreign Direct Investment 
Abstract:
  Whether foreign direct investment will lead to deindustrialisation at
 home depends on the investing country's capability to restructure itself
 on the intra-firm, intra-industry, and intersectoral levels. This paper
 divides FDI into defensive and expansionary types and argues that
 defensive FDI is an indication of deteriorating comparative advantage at
 home. The industry in which defensive FDI prevails lacks the capacity for
 restructuring. Data from Taiwan show that domestic production declines in
 an industry when defensive FDI dominates expansionary FDI in that
 industry.

Title: Taiwan's Industrial Technology 
Abstract:
  This paper aims to illustrate the rationale behind the Taiwanese
 government's involvement in R&D and to present an overview of Taiwanese
 industrial technology policy measures. Furthermore, in order to assess the
 impact of the policy measures, a survey was conducted to obtain
 information on how firms evaluate the impact of government research and
 development (R&D) pomotion tools. However, the actual response of firms to
 each separate tool could not be assessed directly, since no tools were
 ever executed alone. The results of the empirical study not only show the
 omnibus impact of the promotion scheme as a whole, but also assess the
 impact of each promotion tool.

Title: Taiwan'S Venture Capital 
Abstract:
  This paper investigates Taiwan's venture capital (VC) policies and the
 overall impact of VC on Taiwan's economy. The government of Taiwan, like
 those of Singapore and South Korea, has been actively involved in
 encouraging domestic VC. The effects of the government's VC policies in
 Taiwan are apparent not only in the multiplier effect, measured by an
 output/input ratio, but also in the composition of VC investments, which
 have come to focus much more on technology-intensive industries than have
 those in Japan or Hong Kong, where governments have made no special
 contribution to VC development. However, this paper also explores possible
 future alternatives to Taiwan's current VC policies.

Title: The Evolution of Taiwan's 
Abstract:
  The purpose of this paper is to investigate the context of energy policy
 in Taiwan over time (ie. before and after the oil crises) and analyze its
 effect on the energy industries and other sectors. Emphasis is placed on
 laws, regulations and measures which relate to energy policy. A model
 employing a Divisia index to decompose the components of energy intensity

Title: Higher-order industrial Capabilities and competitive advantage 
Abstract:
  This paper makes some analytical suggestions to help explain the
 advantages that firms derive from clustering or networking. The concept of
 'higher-order capabilities' is introduced to identify the assets which may
 give firms in such clusters or networks some competitive advantages over
 firms that are not members of such clusters. Higher-order capabilities are
 non-traded interdependencies among firms, and may be approached in terms
 of the resource-based view of recent strategic thinking.

Title: User-producer Interaction and the Case of Biomedical Innovation 
Abstract:
  Science-based biomedical innovation is a complex process that calls on
 cooperative activity between a number of public and private-sector
 organisations and professions, such as the role of physicians and
 hospitals in the conduct of clinical trials. Basing itself on the
 literature that discusses innovation as the outcome of user-producer
 interaction, which has been concerned mainly with manufacturing
 innovations, this paper discusses the impact of end-users, ie patients, on
 the process of biomedical innovation. Primary evidence of the involvement
 of user groups in a number of current developments is discussed, and the
 prospects for generalising such findings is analysed.

Title: Growth And Industrial Organisation 
Abstract:
  The bicycle industry is an interesting case where East Asian firms have
 made a considerable impact, but where Taiwan has outperformed Korea. In
 the Korean sector, none of the well-known chaebol such as Samsung have
 become involved, and the incumbent firms experienced slow growth until
 there was government intervention in the 1980s. In Taiwan, small dynamic
 firms responded to large export orders in the early 1970s, and established
 a lasting lead which has been regenerated through technological upgrading.
 The paper argues that both countries' bicycle industries have a vertically
 non-integrated structure, with extensive internal sub-contracting, and
 that the differences between the countries can be attributed to the timing
 and effcacy of industrial policy interventions.

Title: Origins and Evolution of the Australian Machine Tool Industry 
Abstract:
  This paper explores the conditions under which a specialist machine tool
 industry emerges during the course of development. It uses Kaldors four
 stages of development and cumulative causation as a theoretical framework
 for studying these conditions in the context of the Australian industry.
 The paper analyses the links between the development of a machine tool
 industry and the development of manufacturing industry overall, drawing on
 interviews and case studies of Australian firms as well as data from
 government assistance programs. It concludes by questioning the current
 direction of government policy, which may undermine past development and
 set the machine tool industry into cumulative decline.

Title: Two Types of Labor Shortage 
Abstract:
  On the basis of field work in six Korean machine tool plants, two types
 of shortage are identified. One is a quantitative shortage, i.e. excess
 demand for labour, commonly found in small- and medium-sized plants. The
 other is a qualitative skills deficiency found in larger plants when
 existing employees do not have the sufficient skills they need to perform
 their jobs effectively. Low investment for skill formation, which is
 implicitly embedded in both the low-price product strategy and dependent
 technology policy, is mainly responsible for the skill deficiencies in
 large plants.

Title: State Supremacy in Decline 
Abstract:
  This paper discusses the dynamics of the international pharmaceutical
 industry, and how these are creating problems for the Australian
 government in its efforts to manage change within the regulated domestic
 industry. The paper argues that regulatory reform and industry development
 policy have eroded the capacity of the federal government to maintain the
 pricing regime associated with the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS)
 since 1950. The bargaining strength of the transnational firms which
 dominate the pharmaceutical industry in Australia is increasing; current
 global rationalisation of manufacturing and of R&D make threats to
 relocate more credible than in the past.

Title: Symposium: Italian Industrial Districts In The I99Os 
Abstract:
  This paper reviews the scholarship concerning the rise to economic
 prominence of the Italian industrial districts, and the causes of some of
 the difficulties in which some districts have found themselves since the
 mid-1980s. The paper develops the main lines of the economic advantages
 that districts enjoyed during a period of rapid growth, resulting from the
 operation of a market in common which blends competition and cooperation.
 The effects of globalisation are changing this somewhat 'idyllic' picture,
 as the structure of linkages between firms comes under pressure. Prospects
 for the Italian districts in these new circumstances are discussed.

Title: Changing directions in Italy's manufacturing industrial districts 
Abstract:
  Scholarship concerning Italy's remarkable industrial districts is in need
 of an overhaul. The scholarship to date is characterised by descriptive
 work (rather than analysis and models) that makes repeated use of a
 paradigm containing many ideological assumptions; this paradigm does not
 seem to withstand examination utilising recent data. In particular, the
 paper argues that the idea of loose relationships amongst firms (also
 known as 'flexibility') demands revision. Such a revised approach is
 followed in research reported in the paper on the footwear industry in two
 industrial districts: the Emilian footwear districts of Fusignano and San
 Mauro Pascoli.

Title: Technology strategies, innovation without R&D 
Abstract:
  The key to the success of Italian industrial districts lies in their
 flexibility and innovation. Yet except for a few rare cases, investments
 in R&D have been very limited. The paper explores this apparent conundrum.
 Even though there are alternative methods to introduce innovations (for
 example, the supply of machinery), it still remains difficult, from a
 traditional point of view, to adequately explain the widespread creation
 of original knowledge that is no doubt present in these enclaves, and that
 is able to bring about effective product and process innovation in order
 to maintain competitiveness. By using evolutionary theories and numerous
 empirical examples, the paper outlines the mechanisms for generating
 knowledge, the learning patterns and the specialisation processes that
 appear to characterise the most dynamic Italian districts.

Title: Innovation By Half-Measures in German Manufacturing 
Abstract:
  The Paper develops a critique of industrial restructuring measures from
 the perspective of social innovation theory. Three kinds of industrial
 restructure are discussed: business process re-engineering;
 computer-integrated manufacturing; and lean production. The paper argues
 that the dominant approaches to these restructuring initiatives are
 socially deficient in that they do not draw on the full potential of the
 workforce.

Title: The German Model in the 1990s: Problems and prospects 
Abstract:
  The 'German model' came to prominence in the 1970s and 1980s,
 representing an attractive national model of adjustment to world economic
 conditions. At the heart of this German model of industrial adjustment lay
 the upgrading of a broad range of industrial sectors to focus on
 higher-quality, specialised goods targeted towards premium domestic and
 world markets. This introductory paper sets the scene by asking how well
 this model has fared in the 1990s, particularly in the face of Japanese
 competition.

Title: German Industrial Policy: An Overview 
Abstract:
  The German political economy and its comparative advantage in the
 production of high quality, internationally competitive manufactured goods
 has long been an object of study. Yet a remarkable lack of consensus
 exists as to the key institutional features of the German model,
 particularly regarding the role of the national state in industrial
 policy. This paper argues, in the face of widespread calls for withdrawal
 of German state institutional frameworks governing the labour market in
 particular, that the German framework is not as rigid as claimed, and that
 the innovative capabilities of German industry would be best served by
 incremental changes rather than wholesale dismantling of existing
 structures.

Title: German Industrial Structure in Comparative Perspective 
Abstract:
  This paper analyses German manufacturing structure in comparison with
 other EU member states. The paper analyses trends in R&D expenditure and
 export market shares in the OECD countries, discussing how differences
 between national institutional frameworks may impact on the innovation
 strategies that domestic firms follow. It has recently been argued that
 there is an 'innovation crisis' within Germany. The available evidence
 shows that although Germany is maintaining an overall comparative
 advantage in R&D intensive industries, this is no longer the case in very
 high-technology industries.

Title: Banks and Industrial Finance in the 1990s 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the role of the banking system in the German model of
 industrial development. It argues that banks continue to fulfil several of
 their traditional functions in industrial finance despite dramatic changes
 in financial regulation and the internationalisation of product and
 capital markets. The strength of the financial system in fulfilling these
 traditional functions, however, is at the same time a barrier to the
 creation of new high-tech industries &#x2014; a major competitive
 challenge for Germany.

Title: German technology policy, innovation, and national institutional frameworks 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the patterns of technological innovation in Germany,
 and compares them with those prevalent in the US and UK economies. The
 paper argues that the institutional features of the German system of
 innovation lend it comparative advantage in innovation. The paper
 discusses these issues in a framework of the economics of organisation in
 industry; it closes by discussing some of the limitations of the German
 system in regard to newly emergent technologies.

Title: Automobile Supplier Network Organisation in East Germany: A Challenge to the German Model of Industrial Organisation 
Abstract:
  Lufthansa's system of corporate governance, based on consensus
 decision-making and company guidance at the Vorstand(Executive Board)
 level, was institutionally adapted to the airline industry environment as
 long as technological change was essentially continuous, but placed
 Lufthansa at a comparative disadvantage in the 1980s when regulatory and
 technical changes in the industry required more radical shifts in the
 strategy and organisation of the company. After a failed attempt to
 develop the aviation equivalent of 'diversified quality production' a la
 BMW, Lufthansa's survival in the 1990s seemingly hinged on its ability to
 find alternative routes to Vorstand-level control of its operations. These
 developments are analysed using a theory of 'comparative institutional
 advantage'.

Title: German Industrial Strategy in Turbulence: Corporate Governance and Managerial Hierarchies in Lufthansa 
Abstract:
  This paper examines a feature of German industrial organisation, namely
 the patterns of supplier networks established by the automotive industry
 in East Germany, using Ope1 and VW in Zwickau and Eisenach as case
 studies. The paper argues that these networks depart from a 'regional'
 public policy framework developed over time in Germany, and place the
 risks of adjustment more directly on supplier firms, placing less emphasis
 on para-public institutions to accommodate change.

Title: Globalization With Borders 
Abstract:
  In an era in which the electronics sector is the driving industry in the
 economy, &#x201c;Wintelism&#x201d; is the codeword used in this article to
 reflect a shift in competitive dynamics away from final assembly and
 vertical market control, towards a struggle over setting and evolving de
 facto product standards at any point in the value chain. It is argued that
 &#x201c;Wintelism&#x201d; has its origins in the American high-technology
 sector, but is now diffusing through the creation of international
 production networks.

Title: The Dynamics Of R&D In Industrial Development 
Abstract:
  This paper discusses the evolution of R&D within a developing economy,
 focusing on the respective contributions of Government Research Institutes
 (GRIs), universities and private firms, and the links between them. Three
 phases in the development trajectory are identified, characterized by
 quite distinct R&D relationships. The framework is illustrated by the case
 of Korea, focusing on the lessons learned from Korea's successes as well
 as its failures.

Title: Creation Of A Regional Hub For Flexible Production 
Abstract:
  Since the late 1980s, Singapore has emerged as a major regional hub for
 magnetic hard disk drive (HDD) assembly operations, accounting for about
 half of the world's total HDD output. This paper examines how this came
 about by analyzing the supply infrastructure needed to support the
 competitive requirements for flexible production capability in the HDD
 industry. The paper suggests that government policies have contributed
 towards reinforcing the agglomeration economies of HDD assembly
 activities.

Title: When Lean Production Meets The 'German Model' 
Abstract:
  Lean production represents a major challenge for German industries'
 distinctive model of Diversified Quality Production (DQP). This study
 looks at how German manufacturers are responding to the challenge, in a
 particular sector, namely pump manufacturing, where Germany has long been
 dominant. The study compares 18 German pump manufacturers with a closely
 matched set of US firms, focusing on product and process innovations.
 Variations in the rate and success of innovations are traced to
 differences in two key factors: national institutions and product markets.

Title: Meeting the Challenges of Restructuring 
Abstract:
  Italy's industrial districts have achieved great success in the post-war
 period, based on their tightly-knit disaggregated production systems
 spanning small firms specializing in different phases of the value chain.
 Where competitive strategies were focused on quality and innovation,
 rather than on minimizing production costs, the districts have flourished.
 This study examines the chair manufacturing district of Friuli, looking at
 how its &#x201c;spontaneous&#x201d; organization of production has been
 brought under severe competitive pressure, ancl the moves undeway to
 respond to these new global forces.

Title: The Deregulation of Taiwan's Electric Power Industry 
Abstract:
  The electric power industry in Taiwan has been operated through a
 public-owned monopoly, Taipower, for the past 50 years. Growing economic
 strength and diversity, and power shortages at peak load times, have led
 the government to deregulate the industry-involving the opening of the
 grid to private power suppliers, promotion of cogeneration, and extensive
 revision of the Electricity Act. The early results of this deregulatory
 experience arc analyzed, and lessons drawn for other countries.

Title: Debate The Closure of a Steelworks and the Limits to Workplace Reform 
Abstract:
  In April 1997 BI-IP, Australia's largest company, announced its Intention
 of closing its steelworks at Newcastle. This brought to an end an
 important chapter in the development and growth of a steel industry in
 Australia. This paper places the decision by BHP into historical
 perspective, and analyzes the factors involved in the closure in terms of
 technological and market changes. The paper argues that although the plant
 saw significant improvements in productivity through workplace reform in
 the 1980s, these on their own, in the absence of complementary investments
 in technology and market development, were not sufficient to save the
 plant.

Title: Competing in the Global Flat Panel Display Industry: Introduction 
Abstract:
  The flat panel display industry (encompassing products such as LCDs for
 laptop computers) is of interest as a global industry with rapid
 technological turnover where in place of the East catching up with the
 West, it is a case of the West trying to catch up with the technologically
 advanced East. In East Asia itself, both Korea and Taiwan are making
 significant progress in catching up with Japan through various forms of
 technology leverage strategies. The special issue teases out these issues,
 in the context of the specific competitive dynamics of the global flat
 panel display industry.

Abstract:
  Are flying geese moving targets or sitting ducks? This paper examines
 strategies that Korean and Taiwanese firms and governments adopted to
 build globally competitive advanced display manufacturing capabilities in
 the face of Japan's manufacturing advantages. We examine case evidence
 from two perspectives: Asia skepticism and network globalization. We
 observe that the lead goose appears vulnerable.

Title: The Hong Kong LCD Industry: Surviving the Global Technology Race 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the evolution of the LCD industry in Hong Kong, from
 the beginnings in the 1970s, when imitation strategies were relatively
 easily implemented, to the 1990s, when some local companies are finding
 niches in the global market. Increasingly, however, they are facing
 pressures to re-examine their product development systems in more
 fundamental fashion. The paper points to the possibilities and limits of a
 &#x201c;growth without R&D&#x201d; strategy.

Title: Case Study From Sweden to Japan: The Case of Canon and Ferroelectric LCDs 
Abstract:
  This paper describes the early discovery of the ferroelectric principle
 for use in liquid crystal displays, and the way in which the Swedish
 laboratories which developed the early displays were unable to secure
 support from Swedish companies. The early work was taken up by the
 Japanese company Canon, which pursued this technical option as an
 alternative to the dominant thin film transistor LCD technology mastered
 by Sharp and other Japanese firms. However FLC technology has yet to
 deliver on its promise in market applications.

Title: The Pardox Of High R&D And Industry Stability: Technology And Structural Dynamics In The Global Hearing Instrument Industry 
Abstract:
  The hearing instruments (hearing aids) industry is typically described as
 a technologically vigorous area. One indication is high R&D intensity. And
 yet over the past 25 years, the structure of this industry worldwide has
 remained surprisingly stable. This paper analyzes the industry's
 technology and structural dynamics in order to shed light on this paradox.
 It is shown that the industry's market structure and patterns of
 components supply exert strong influences on the nature of technological
 development, and that the technology in turn is to a large degree blocking
 changes in industry structure, especially entry and vertical integration.

Title: The Socio-Economic Foundations Of Competitiveness: An Econometric Analysis of Italian Industrial Districts 
Abstract:
  The Industrial Districts of Italy are widely admired as an innovative
 form of socio-industrial structure that has been very successful in terms
 of export performance and wealth generation. Yet there have been few
 econometric studies of the sources of their competitiveness. This study
 examines the experience of a sample of 37 districts, in the early 1990s,
 looking for the socio-economic determinants of success in the district's
 industrial atmosphere. Central factors are found to be local availability
 of good human resources, and local financial services. Family-based
 business networks appear to be no longer a source of advantage.

Title: Innovation Through Vertical Relations Between Firms, Suppliers And Customers: A Study Of German Firms 
Abstract:
  Interfirm cooperative R&D agreements are becoming more frequent, as firms
 seek to avoid market failures and exploit the competitive advantages of
 collaborating vertically with suppliers on the one hand and customers on
 the other. This paper investigates the phenomenon of vertical R&D linkages
 in the context of German manufacturing firms, based on a survey conducted
 at the Centre for European Economic Research, Mannheim. The major finding
 is that vertical linkages have high prevalence, and that the most common
 mode of linkage involves informal exchange of technical knowledge, with
 formal linkages such as joint development teams and contractual R&D
 cooperation being less common.

Title: Institutional Capacity and National Competitive Advantage: the Rise and Stagnation of the Australian Meat Industry 
Abstract:
  This paper develops the argument that a country's institutional
 arrangements and government policies can squander opportunities for the
 creation of sustained competitive advantage, by locking a resource-based
 industry into low-quality, high-volume production. The argument is
 illustrated with the case of the Australian meat industry, which started
 with promising prospects, but lacked the institutional arrangements for
 coordination of firm strategies, and lacked policy guidance to upgrade
 technologically and to seek new markets, resulting in competitive
 stagnation and rising levels of foreign ownership.

Title: A Proposed Industrial Classification System Based on Core Competences 
Abstract:
  The Standard Industrial Classification Code (SICC) is based on the
 external characteristics of industries, including physical outputs, types
 and usage. Such external criteria are becoming increasingly inadequate to
 guide both management strategy and public policy, as firms seek new
 sources of advantage from diversification. In this paper a new
 classification based on core competences is introduced. This provides a
 new setting in which the effectiveness of diversification may be
 discussed.

Title: Industry and State Partnership: The Historical Role of Theengineering Research Associations in Japan 
Abstract:
  This is an edited version of a monograph first published in 1986. The
 study provides an historical perspective on the emergence of Engineering
 Research Associations (ERAS) in Japan in the late 1950s and early 1960s as
 an institutional means of promoting and facilitating collaborative
 research in industry. The ERAS were put to efficient use by MITI as
 vehicles for Japan's technological catch-up efforts. The study examines 71
 ERAS, including the best known VLSI programme, which ran from 1976 to 1979
 and is widely credited with lifting Japan to world leadership in the
 memory chips industry in the 1980s.

Title: Innovation Systems and Industrial Performance Germany in International Perspective 
Abstract:
  How do national-institutional structures affect the ability of
 enterprises to respond to increased competitive pressures in product
 markets and a speeding-up of product life-cycles? The papers in this
 special issue explore the workings of national, regional and sectoral
 innovation systems of which German enterprises, universities and other
 organizations form part. They suggest that while some high-tech market
 niches are well suited to German strengths in incremental innovation, the
 German institutional setting tends not to favour high-risk innovation
 strategies in newly emerging technologies

Title: Can High-technology Industries Prosper in Germany? Institutional Frameworks and the Evolution of the German Software and Biotechnology Industries 
Abstract:
  The paper explores the influence of institutional frameworks on the
 evolution of the German software and biotechnology sectors. It links
 institutional constraints to poor performance of German firms in high
 volume market niches characterized by turbulent technological change and
 substantial financial risk. However, German firms are prospering in
 software services and &#x201c;platform technologies&#x201d; in
 biotechnology. The company organizational structures and investment
 strategies needed to excel in these market segments provide a close
 &#x201c;fit&#x201d; with incentives created within the German economy.

Title: Corporate Governance, Innovation Systems and Industrial Performance 
Abstract:
  The effective corporate governance of innovating firms calls for a
 capacity to deal with novelty, visibility and appropriability. Such
 capacities are found to vary among sectors, in terms of industry-specific
 expertise, firm-specific perceptiveness, and (sometimes) stakeholder
 enfranchisement. They also vary between countries, according to their
 corporate governance systems, as outlined in the paper for the cases of
 Germany, France, Britain and the United States. The paper shows how the
 differences described can help to explain the propensity for national
 industrial specialization in these countries, and describes the results of
 statistical tests of the hypothesis.

Title: Interaction of Universities and Industrial Enterprises in Germany and the United States-A Comparison 
Abstract:
  The available quantitative data document a dynamic increase of
 university-industry relations within the last two decades in Germany as
 well as in the United States. However, the ways in which industrial
 funding is provided for academic research and the institutional
 arrangements for supporting university-industry relations are quite
 different in the two countries. The paper finds that American structures
 support long-term and open-ended co-operation, whereas in Germany, the
 dominant form of contract research primarily supports short-term problem
 solving with predefined results.

Title: Enterprise-University Co-operation and the Role of Public Research Institutions in Regional Innovation Systems 
Abstract:
  The paper analyses the co-operative relationships that public research
 institutions in Germany have developed with manufacturing firms and with
 each other. We find that collaboration with firms is highly concentrated
 on regional partners. Research institutions contribute significantly to
 innovation processes in the respective regions by absorbing knowledge from
 beyond the region and making it available to local companies. In respect
 of co-operation between public research institutions themselves, we find
 that spatial proximity still matters, but to a lesser degree.

Title: Knowledge Transfer and Innovation in Germany and Britain: 'Intermediate Institution' Models of Knowledge Transfer under Strain? 
Abstract:
  This article investigates the links between knowledge transfer activities
 and innovation performance in Germany and Britain through a detailed
 comparison of matched samples of electronics production and research
 establishments in the two countries. In contrast to mature industries such
 as mechanical engineering, German performance in electronics is not found
 to be greatly enhanced by the role played by intermediate research
 institutes in &#x201c;bridging the gap&#x201d; between the academic
 science base and business enterprises.

Title: Research and Technology Outsourcing and Innovation Systems: an Exploratory Analysis 
Abstract:
  The paper discusses the process of externalization and contracting out of
 research and technology, in particular the outsourcing of R&D and
 technical activity formerly undertaken by manufacturing and service
 companies and now contracted out to other firms and specialist
 organizations. The growth in the external sourcing of R&D, design and
 other technical activities by firms has contributed to the evolution of
 new research and technical markets which have important implications for
 current conceptualizations of &#x201c;systems of innovation&#x201d;.

Title: e-commerce: implications for firm strategy and industry Configuration 
Abstract:
  The impact of the Internet on business activity and industry strategy is
 now starting to be appreciated. Established corporations as well as
 startup firms are utilizing the Internet to create new markets and
 reorganize existing markets. Ubiquity and low cost make the Internet a
 powerful force for transforming business activity and facilitating now
 venture creation. The paper argues that new commercial patterns are being
 created through firms' resorting to online retailing, opening portions of
 their information systems to customers, and linking firm processes
 directly to consumers by moving functions such as purchasing online.

Title: Sectoral Innovation Patterns And The Rise Of New Competitors: The Case Of Civil Aerospace In Asia 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the internationalization of the civil aerospace
 industry, and particularly the rise of the industry in the Asia-Pacific
 region. The argument developed is that aerospace has been treated
 uncritically as yet another &#x201c;high technology&#x201d; sector, and
 susceptible to the same public policy effects is other high technology
 industries like IT. The paper argues, by contrast, that the aerospace
 sector has particular economic and political characteristics, which
 suggest that European and American firms enjoy considerable, and possibly
 persistent advantages over new competitors.

Title: Cluster Studies As A Basis For Industrial Policy: The Case Of Denmark 
Abstract:
  The concept of &#x201c;resource areas&#x201d; has been a cornerstone of
 Danish technology and industry policies since the early 1990s. Cluster
 studies are central to this approach. While earlier cluster studies were
 concerned with transactions between firms, frequently in an input-output
 framework, the more recent studies are based on a demand perspective. The
 paper discusses the methodologies used in applying the concept of resource
 areas to Danish industrial clusters, and the strengths and limitations of
 the approach.

Title: FRONTIERS OF RESEARCH IN INDUSTRIAL DYNAMICS AND NATIONAL SYSTEMS OF INNOVATION1 
Abstract:
  (NSIs) constitute a fairly recent agenda in research on national
 specialization, innovation and economic performance. This agenda differs
 from other approaches in its focus on institutions and institutional
 learning. The fundamental insights of the agenda signify that economic
 success in industrial innovation depends on long-term relationships and
 close interaction with external agents, involve non-market relationships
 and may to a large extent be "national". The national bearing is based
 both on the prevailing economic structure and on the institutional set-up.
 Industrial dynamics and NSIs involve analysing innovation systems at
 different levels of aggregations ranging from the firm over inter-firm
 relationships to the wider structural, technological and institutional
 environment.

Title: LOCAL SYSTEMS OF INNOVATION IN A GLOBALIZED WORLD ECONOMY 
Abstract:
  National systems of innovation (NSIs) make many assumptions concerning
 the nature of the actors, their competence, habits and practices with
 regard to the linkages that lead to learning and innovation, all of which
 are common in advanced countries. In developing countries many of these
 assumptions are called into question. This paper explores the utility of
 an innovation system approach to developing countries bearing this proviso
 in mind. With illustrations from telecommunications and automobile
 industries, the paper focuses upon the need to integrate the role of
 transnational corporations and international rules and disciplines into
 such an approach and to examine more closely the way in which local
 clusters can be transformed into innovation systems.

Title: LOCAL SYSTEMS OF INNOVATION IN MERCOSUR COUNTRIES 
Abstract:
  This paper discusses two related issues. One refers to the use of the
 notion of systems of innovation in environments characterized by
 relatively poor domestic innovation processes and relatively high levels
 of diversity. The other relates to the analysis of the empirical results
 of an on-going research (involving a network of researchers in Brazil,
 Argentina and Uruguay) investigating how the macroeconomic transformations
 of the 1990s have affected the evolutionary trajectory of local productive
 arrangements, especially in what refers to their capacity to generate,
 absorb and diffuse innovations.

Title: LOOKING AT NATIONAL SYSTEMS OF INNOVATION FROM THE SOUTH 
Abstract:
  This paper deals with national systems of innovation (NSIs) from a Latin
 American perspective. It begins by looking into the related
 conceptualization elaborated in the North with a "Southern head",
 stressing some characteristics of the NSIs concept that are helpful to
 understand Southern specificity: its ex-post nature, the normative weight
 it carries, its "relational" features, the fact that it describes a
 purposeful policy subject and not only an outcome of evolutionary
 patterns. Then the paper describes some contextual differences between
 Latin America and the developed nations in terms of the NSIs
 conceptualization. This is followed by an abbreviated account of empirical
 findings gathered from recent innovation industrial surveys in Latin
 America. It also briefly describes some of the findings of a
 methodological attempt to construct a picture of the NSI in a small Latin
 American country, Uruguay. Finally, some lessons stemming from more mature
 systems of innovation are outlined.

Title: CO-EVOLUTION WITHIN CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS: A COMPETENCE BLOC APPROACH 
Abstract:
  Focusing on the chemical industry, this paper examines the co-evolution
 of systems of component technologies within industry structures, and vice
 versa, in an open-ended process of interaction, continuous change and
 adaptation. The empirical evidence is based on patenting activity
 1890-1990, matched with qualitative data. Three distinct periods of
 technology system takeoff are identified. We found a technology system
 perspective with competence bloc dynamics a very useful analytical tool to
 show systems becoming more complex and industry boundaries more blurred.

Title: NETWORK INTERACTIONS AND MUTUAL DEPENDENCE: A TEST IN THE CAR INDUSTRY 
Abstract:
  By engaging in specific investments a firm may develop a unique
 competence value for its partner, which makes the partners mutually
 dependent. This may neutralize any hold-up risk of an opportunistic
 partner that is tempted to exploit the dependence and appropriate a
 greater share of the value added in the relation. The purpose of this
 paper is to investigate such mechanisms of mutual dependence. The analysis
 builds on previous theoretical and empirical research by the authors. It
 is based on an integration of transaction cost economics with the resource
 (competence, capabilities) view and a social exchange view, from a dynamic
 perspective. The paper asks the following: How do competencies develop in
 interaction between firms? The social exchange view brings in trust as an
 important dimension of governance. The research question asks how risks of
 mutual dependence between firms may be mitigated without either
 hierarchical or legal control. Five hypotheses concerning such mechanisms
 of mutual dependence are tested on data from the car industry.

Title: INDUSTRIAL TRANSFORMATION IN AUSTRIA, NORWAY AND SWEDEN 
Abstract:
  The pursuit of industrial success or international competitiveness has
 become a principal policy goal for governments and industries in the
 advanced countries. It has become a topic for analysis in the fields of
 management and public policy (Porter 1990; Thurow 1992) and has provoked
 some concerned reactions from within the discipline of economics (Krugman
 1994). The concept of competitiveness raises concerns amongst the
 neo-classical economists because it implies the need to capture market
 share in industries that will result in expanding domestic incomes in the
 form of higher wages and profits. It goes beyond the need to achieve
 efficiency or productivity in industries in which a nation has a natural
 advantage (Reinert 1995). In contravention of neo-classical thought, the
 concept of competitiveness implies that some industries are more important
 for national economic prosperity than others, suggesting that it is
 desirable to build industrial capacity in key (usually medium and high
 value-added manufacturing) industries (Kitsch and Michie 1996). The debate
 about competitiveness has focused attention on the role of the state in
 influencing industry structure and industrial transformation (Weiss 1998).

Title: EFFECTS OF FIRM PERFORMANCE, ORGANIZATIONAL SLACK, AND DEBT ON ENTRY TIMING: A STUDY OF TEN EMERGING PRODUCT MARKETS IN USA 
Abstract:
  As technologies change and market environments evolve, firms introduce
 new products to create or satisfy new market demands or to substitute for
 existing products. A key strategic decision for firms contemplating entry
 into emerging product markets is the timing of their entry. Firms may
 choose to enter earlier and hope to preempt critical strategic resources,
 but they take the risk of premature entry. On the other hand, firms may
 prefer to enter later and wait for technical and market uncertainties to
 subside, but they face the potential problem of being frozen out of a
 profitable market by participants who risked earlier entry (Lieberman and
 Montgomery 1988; Mitchell 1989, 1991; Lilien and Yoon 1990; Robinson et al
 . 1992). This study examines three organizational factors that are
 hypothesized to affect a firm's strategic decision regarding timing of
 entry into an emerging product market: performance, organizational slack,
 and debt position. We begin with an overview of entry-timing research
 followed by some background on research in performance, organizational
 slack, and debt. We then develop hypotheses concerned with these three
 organizational factors and entry timing. We test these hypotheses in a
 multiindustry sample of firms in USA, and control for the influence of
 industry and firm variables that could be expected to affect entry-timing
 decisions.

Title: EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES FOR TAIWAN'S SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY: FORMATION OF RESEARCH CONSORTIA 
Abstract:
  As the world enters the twenty-first century, technology is now more than
 ever the key factor in the promotion of industrial development and
 economic growth. This presents an enormous but unavoidable challenge for
 developing countries; they must carry out their industrial technology
 development in such a way as to create strong high-tech industries that
 can successfully compete in the global market, while moving their national
 economies in the direction of prosperity. In light of these challenges, an
 overall technology development strategy has become the critical success
 factor for an industry in terms of technology acquisition, diffusion and
 application. Over the course of the past three decades, Taiwan has
 regarded the semiconductor industry as one of the most strategically
 important of the high-tech industries. Since starting with a few
 downstream assembly plants in the 1960s, the semiconductor industry has
 developed into a comprehensive industrial system with vertical and
 horizontal division of labor. It has gone through various growth stages,
 involving foreign-capital-based assembly, manufacturing technology
 transfer, growth of local plants, industrial system expansion and
 upgrading by industrial cooperation. The corresponding strategies for
 technology development cover technology introduction, technology transfer
 and cooperative R&D, with gradually escalating technological capabilities
 successfully encouraging industrial growth. The semiconductor industry has
 not only become the leading industry of the Hsinchu Science-based
 Industrial Park, but it has also generated revenues ranked fourth highest
 in the world. This article studies strategies adopted at different stages
 by Taiwan's semiconductor industry in its technological development,
 focusing specifically on the research consortium strategy and the case of
 the industry consortium, the Advanced Semiconductor Technology Research
 Organization (ASTRO).

Title: ACQUISITION OF TECHNOLOGICAL CAPABILITY THROUGH SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONES (SEZS): THE CASE OF SHENZHEN SEZ 
Abstract:
  Special economic zones (SEZs) have been adopted by many countries,
 particularly in the Asia region, as a popular means by which to foster and
 stimulate economic development (Wong and Chu 1985; Oborne 1986).
 Encouraged by the success of SEZs in other Asian regions and countries in
 the 1960s and 1970s, China set up four SEZs in 1979, including one in
 Shenzhen. As a result of its extraordinary growth and success, Shenzhen
 SEZ has itself become a positive example and impetus for the rest of the
 world. Although a large number of SEZs are already in operation around the
 globe (approximately 400), it is likely that a growing number of SEZs will
 continue to appear, both in Asia and worldwide. This is because SEZs have
 generally proved to be a successful means of fostering economic growth and
 prosperity. However, despite their general effectiveness, there do exist
 variations in the relative success of SEZs both within China, and between
 China and other countries. For example, within China, Guangdong's other
 two SEZs lag far behind Shenzhen SEZ (Liao 1999). Indeed, Shenzhen SEZ is
 perhaps the most successful example of a SEZ in the world, having enjoyed
 explosive growth (Kasliwal 1998). Shenzhen also stands in stark contrast
 with some rather unsuccessful SEZs in other countries, including those
 near Bombay and the Kandla SEZ in India.

Title: RESILIENCE IN GERMAN TECHNOLOGY POLICY: INNOVATION THROUGH INSTITUTIONAL SYMBIOTIC TENSION 
Abstract:
  This paper reports on a detailed institutional study of the German
 technology transfer system using material from a survey of practitioners
 and observations of the system over a one-year period. The purpose of this
 research was to understand the dynamic within the German system that,
 despite heavy criticism over the past 10-15 years, has proved remarkably
 resilient, competitive and capable of change.2 It is argued that the
 dynamism lies within the funding and the institutional structures of the
 system which allow competition to exist alongside collaboration and
 networking, thus incorporating the best of a ''market based'' technology
 transfer system with the advantages of regulation and co-ordination. These
 inherent, but contradictory pressures are termed ''symbiotic
 tension''&#x2014;it is argued that this is key to understanding the
 resilience of the system.

Title: NATIONAL INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKS AND THE HYBRIDIZATION OF ENTREPRENEURIAL BUSINESS MODELS: THE GERMAN AND UK BIOTECHNOLOGY SECTORS 
Abstract:
  Given what institutional scholars have described as an inhospitable
 institutional climate for entrepreneurial business, why has the German
 biotechnology industry suddenly taken off, while in the UK, where a
 ''correct'' institutional architecture exists, has the industry shown
 signs of stagnation? To explain these trends the article develops a
 firm-centered approach, recognizing that firms work with institutional
 frameworks - often with help from public policies - to create new business
 strategies. The argument is developed that such processes are associated
 with the ''hybridization'' of business strategies at the micro level,
 combined with the generation of new constellations of particular
 institutional frameworks within relatively stable national models.

Title: MODULARITY ON INDUSTRY STRUCTURE: THE CASE OF THE WORLD THE EFFECT OF PRODUCT BICYCLE INDUSTRY 
Abstract:
  The adoption of a modular product architecture for the bicycle allowed
 manufacturers to meet the simultaneous needs of product innovation and
 cost reduction. Such an approach however, has fragmented the industry into
 a series of largely independent segments that are primarily linked through
 the operation of market-based contracts. Active coordination between firms
 has been replaced by the embedded coordination that comes through
 modularity. The fragmentation of the industry on the basis of specialized
 capabilities has led to economic efficiencies and low barriers to entry
 for most segments of the industry. However, the lack of coordination has
 limited the industry's capability to make changes in the product
 architecture beyond the component level.

Title: COMPETITIVE DYNAMICS OF TECHNOLOGICAL STANDARDIZATION: THE CASE OF THIRD GENERATION CELLULAR COMMUNICATIONS 
Abstract:
  This article is concerned with the processes through which technological
 standards are developed, and how these standards provide the underpinnings
 of new markets for global cellular communication. The case investigated is
 that of so-called third generation mobile communications, involving
 advanced multimedia and Internet access. The article explores how the main
 actors at the outset, used the process of standardization to strategically
 strengthen their respective market positions, and how standardization wars
 spread from the level of firms to government and supra-governmental
 organizations. Using the conflict between Ericsson and Qualcomm in the
 area of air radio interface standards as a key example, the article shows
 how the actors, because of institutional conditions and pressures, were
 reconciled and moved towards collaborative patterns of behavior,
 supporting a ''family'' of compatible standards.

Title: COMPETITIVE INTERFIRM DYNAMICS WITHIN AN INDUSTRIAL MARKET SYSTEM 
Abstract:
  Scholars concerned with economic processes in industrial economies have
 long been concerned with the dynamics of firms' adaptation to new
 circumstances. This article develops a conceptual framework within which
 industrial dynamics and competitive interfirm interactions can be analyzed
 in terms of adaptive responses to changes in the complex system of which
 the firms form part-rather than in terms of anomalies and exceptions, such
 as the ''market failures'' and ''externalities''favored in mainstream
 microeconomics. In order to do so, a conceptual framework is introduced,
 dubbed an Industrial Market System (IMS), in which firms play a central
 role as actors, and where their resources, routines and relations with
 each other generate complex structures such as networks, consortia, and
 development blocks which mediate and shape the strategic responses made by
 firms. dynamism of the ''new economy'' and the startup firms it generates.
 There have also been parallel developments such as the rising importance
 of corporate spinoffs (as counter-trend to mergers and acquisitions)
 whereby firms seek greater focus and entrepreneurial initiative through
 divesting parts of their operations as viable businesses.

Title: INNOVATION AND INDUSTRIAL RENEWAL IN FRANCE IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE 
Abstract:
  Conventional images of the French political economy portray a country
 stuck in a regressive dynamic, which hinders the construction of
 competitive industries. Recent developments question this interpretation
 of the French production regime: labour productivity and corporate
 profitability are high, the country has known an export boom, and has
 become the largest recipient of foreign direct investment on the
 continent. This paper attempts to analyse and explain these successes in
 French economic performance. It argues that the reorganization of the
 French economy owes much to a shift in the operation of the state-centred
 corporate governance system. While the state withdrew from direct
 involvement in the economy, it utilized its influence directly to pressure
 large firms to restructure internally, giving them the space to do so. The
 paper examines shifts in patterns of work organization, skills formation
 and firm-supplier networks as sources of increased competitiveness, along
 with shifts towards regional production networks within metropolitan
 France that have given new forms to the national innovation system.

Title: CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND THE INNOVATION SYSTEM IN FRANCE 1985-2000 
Abstract:
  This paper investigates the relations between corporate governance and
 innovation in France over the period 1985-2000, with special focus on the
 development of firms' capabilities. The literature on innovation has often
 referred to a fit between environmental niches and institutional
 arrangements of corporate governance. By contrast, this paper presents the
 French case as an illustration of the numerous possibilities for
 institutional arrangements in ownership and control of industry and their
 multiple combinations with the national innovation system. The paper
 discusses the changing role - and importance - over time performed by the
 French system of corporate governance and its impact on the development of
 innovative capabilities by firms. The paper demonstrates that the impact
 of the national system of corporate governance on the innovative system is
 strongly mediated by the distribution of power and the conduct of business
 strategy inside large domestic firms.

Title: BRIDGING CAPITAL GAPS TO PROMOTE INNOVATION IN FRANCE 
Abstract:
  With the withdrawal of state ascendancy over the financial sector, the
 national system of financing has taken a new turn in France. This paper
 deals with the capacity of this new system to promote innovation and
 argues that the capacity of French banks to finance innovation is now
 limited. In this context the supply of equity to firms is a critical
 factor. For small firms, however, there was a critical shortage in equity
 supply right up to the mid-1990s. Since then new policies and
 institutional reforms have been launched to cope with French financial
 gaps and to financially promote innovation. Amongst these institutional
 innovations the paper mentions the Nouveau Marche; the Development Bank
 for SMEs; and the impetus given the venture capital industry by earmarking
 a proportion of funds from the privatization of France Telecom to support
 innovative small enterprises.

Title: INSTITUTIONAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL CO-EVOLUTION IN THE FRENCH ELECTRONUCLEAR INDUSTRY 
Abstract:
  This paper discusses performance in the French nuclear industry, which
 is, especially in comparative perspective, a significant success. It
 emphasizes the interaction and co-evolution of institutions,
 organizational patterns and the technological regime in the industry. As
 deregulation in the electricity industry is spreading across the
 industrialized countries, the success of the French nuclear sector limits
 the scope for liberalization in France - a situation that is likely to
 keep France on this technological trajectory for power generation. The
 paper concludes by assessing the sustainability of the system thus
 generated.

Title: SOURCES OF RESILIENCE IN THE COMPUTER AND SOFTWARE INDUSTRIES IN FRANCE 
Abstract:
  French hardware manufacturers were by and large incapable not only of
 translating technological advances into industrial products but even of
 understanding the new opportunities these advances offered. While true up
 to a point, this approach, focused on the failure of the so-called
 ''national champion'' policy, is incapable of explaining why French
 providers of IT services have had considerable success both in their own
 domestic market and in the wider European market. The argument advanced is
 that a very active higher education policy and national research strategy
 has produced a supply of particularly valuable competences which feed the
 IT sector. In addition, the previous mission-oriented policies encouraged
 the development of effective technological districts which now nurture the
 appearance of a plethora of small, innovative IT firms.

Title: THE ADAPTABILITY OF THE FRENCH ARMAMENTS INDUSTRY IN AN ERA OF GLOBALIZATION 
Abstract:
  The transformations of the French arms industry have to be put in the
 context of the dramatic changes in the geopolitical and economic
 environment, or globalization. This paper documents the role of
 military-related technological programs in French technology policy, and
 their contribution to the technological performance of defense contractors
 and manufacturing industry generally. It employs the concept of a French
 Meso-system of Armaments (FMSA) to describe the set of committed
 governmental organizations and industrial companies, which are bound up
 with each other through market and non-market relationships. The paper
 traces the main transformations of the FMSA that aim at preserving,
 through adaptation, the intertwined relationships between the state and
 defense companies over the past decades and in particular in the decade
 following the collapse of the communist system.

Title: THE TECHNOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE OF EUROPE IN A GLOBAL SETTING 
Abstract:
  Europe, as any other region of the world, is increasingly affected by the
 accelerating pace of the generation and transmission of knowledge across
 national borders. This article presents an attempt to identify and map the
 various components of the globalization of technology. A new
 categorization of the globalization of technology is reported, based on:
 (1) the international exploitation of nationally produced innovations; (2)
 the global generation of innovations; and (3) global technological and
 scientific collaborations. The performance of the European Union in each
 of these three dimensions is discussed. European firms are increasingly
 willing to undertake technological agreements with American partners
 rather than with partners based in other European countries. At the same
 time, cases of scientific collaboration within the European academic
 community are increasing. Some policy implications for the European Union
 and national governments are discussed.

Title: NEW ECONOMY INNOVATION SYSTEMS: BIOTECHNOLOGY IN EUROPE AND THE USA 
Abstract:
  It is proposed that developments in the commercialization of science and
 technology in "new economy" sectors such as telecommunications,
 information technology and biotechnology presage a new kind of systemic
 innovation. This is both regionalized and localized around hubs of
 knowledge-driven entrepreneurship, and subject to extremely rapid
 exploitation in consequence of search and invest activities of corporate
 venturing arms of large firms, venture capitalists and business angels.
 The millennium meltdown of Internet stocks has brought caution but also
 learning gains to new economy investors, but the underlying model remains
 robust. Unlike the typical European regional innovation system, which is
 supported by extensive public sector enterprise support activities, "New
 Economy Innovation Systems" are far less dependent on public enterprise
 support intervention. Learning this new, rapid mode of exploitation is
 essential if commercialization gaps between Europe and North America are
 to be reduced. The key questions concern the appropriate role of public
 innovation support, the commercialization advantages and limits of venture
 capital, and the prospects for the new approach in less-favoured regional
 settings.

Title: TRANSLATION OF INNOVATION SYSTEMS INTO INDUSTRIAL POLICY: THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR IN AUSTRALIA 
Abstract:
  As the dynamics of innovation systems vary greatly between industries,
 policy-makers need to find specific critical points where their actions
 can encourage development. The paper uses a study of the Australian
 healthcare system to illustrate how a policy-relevant analytical template
 can both analyse innovation and suggest areas for effective innovation
 policy action in both public and private industrial arenas. Using a
 "complex social product system" approach the paper deconstructs a highly
 complex system to show its capacity to be a driver in innovation in a wide
 variety of industrial and service input fields. Producing policies which
 have a focus on industry development and innovation means looking at the
 healthcare system as a product system, not a health provision system per
 se, and then analysing the sub-systems in detail. Health policy-makers
 typically do not approach the system in this spirit.

Title: MICROFOUNDATIONS OF KNOWLEDGE DYNAMICS WITHIN THE FIRM 
Abstract:
  A distinctive feature of human activity is the creation of knowledge, and
 the firm is one of the many places in which knowledge is created. This
 paper deals with some aspects of creating knowledge in the firm: its
 dynamics, underlying cognitive models, dependence on context, role of
 human resources in the firm and the effects of their renewal. Introducing
 the cognitive dimension of the individual in a theory of the firm is
 compelling in order to understand the new role of intangibles in actual
 firms. It also offers a base for aligning the resource-based view with the
 knowledge-based view of the firm. Understanding the ways in which
 individual, and, much more importantly, collective knowledge evolves
 offers the opportunity to give human beings the central role they deserve.
 The firm may thus be seen as a knowledge-creating entity and human
 resources as the pivot of the organization.

Title: HOW EVOLUTIONARY IS SCHUMPETER'S THEORY OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT? 
Abstract:
  The generic features of an evolutionary theory which are identified in
 the conceptional discussion of the present paper can be shown to be
 present already in Schumpeter's 1912 work, The Theory of Economic
 Development . None the less, it is argued that Schumpeter fell short of a
 level of generality by which he would have succeeded in providing a true
 foundation for evolutionary economics. The reason is his eagerness--very
 clearly visible in the "lost" seventh chapter--to align his theory with
 the economic reasoning of contemporary "pure" economic theory that was
 moulded in an equilibrium-oriented heuristic and the methodology of
 comparative statics. Schumpeter's conception--which, in opposing the idea
 of borrowing from Darwinian thought, he called "development"--is rather a
 special theory of the unsteady capitalist growth process passing through
 booms and crises. Throughout all of Schumpeter's writings the notion of
 development is therefore closely related to the business cycle phenomenon.
 The paper argues that this special framing implies not only some arbitrary
 hypotheses which are difficult to accept in an evolutionary
 interpretation, but also some limitations in his understanding of (what he
 refused to call) economic evolution, particularly with respect to its
 driving forces.

Title: SCHUMPETER IN THE CONTEXT OF TWO CANONS OF ECONOMIC THOUGHT 
Abstract:
  The publication of Schumpeter's "lost" seventh chapter--with the holistic
 and Faustian title "The economy as a whole", so typical of the German
 economic tradition--again raises the question of the ''duality'' in
 Schumpeter's economic thinking: On the one hand Schumpeter's typical
 ''Germanic'' approach, emphasizing dynamics, technical change and the
 entrepreneur, on the other hand his admiration for the mechanical
 economics of Walras. This paper attempts to explain Schumpeter's
 duality--his "schizophrenia"--by placing his work in the context of two
 different canons of economic thought, the standard mainstream canon (the
 ordnende and passivist-materialist tradition in Werner Sombart's terms)
 and what we have labelled "The Other Canon" (the verstehende and
 activist-idealist tradition in Sombart's terminology). The paper attempts
 to show that in the light of the now almost extinct Other Canon of
 economics, Schumpeter appears far less original than what he does to
 today's mainstream. It is argued that while the Harvard Economics
 Department during Schumpeter's tenure there moved away from the Other
 Canon type economics, Schumpeter found ample support and research activity
 in this alternative canon of economics at Harvard Business School. The
 paper explores the possible influences and similarities of thought on
 Schumpeter from three economists associated with Harvard Business School:
 Herbert Somerton Foxwell, Edwin Gay and Fritz Redlich.

Title: RAILROADIZATION AS SCHUMPETER'S STANDARD CASE: AN EVOLUTIONARY-ECOLOGICAL ACCOUNT 
Abstract:
  In his 1939 book Business Cycles, Schumpeter declared that the railroad
 and its consequences for the economic system is the standard example of
 his analysis of capitalist evolution. This paper demonstrates that
 Schumpeter went quite far in the analysis of his case of "railroadization"
 and in suggesting how his model could be adapted to it, but today we see
 that he failed because of his lack of adequate analytical tools. In the
 light of modern evolutionary economics and evolutionary-ecological
 analysis, the paper revisits Schumpeter's suggestions. The parameters of
 the logistic equation and the Lotka-Volterra equations are shown to be
 central variables in an evolutionary process that includes different types
 of economic agent. The specification of the roles in this process helps to
 redefine entrepreneurs, managers, and financiers. Furthermore, a new
 interpretation of the system-level dynamics is made, both in general and
 in relation to the case of railroadization.

Title: SCHUMPETER'S "LOST" SEVENTH CHAPTER: A CRITICAL OVERVIEW 
Abstract:
  The "lost" seventh chapter to Schumpeter's first edition of The Theory of
 Economic Development was planned as a synthesis of the results and as
 presenting the overall configuration of the economy, as the title of the
 chapter "The economy as a whole" indicates. The article discusses
 Schumpeter's exposition of the core process, external data changes and his
 reception of the classics. Further the article discusses Schumpeter's
 views on the notion of the organic unity of the economy, the welfare
 problem, his synthesis of statics and dynamics, the "greatness" of
 entrepreneurs and their role in culture. The conclusion is that an
 elaborated systems approach comparable to that of Sombart is (still)
 missing. The plan of a general theory of culture, society and economy,
 following the insight of Chapter 7 that the social process is one
 indivisible whole, was formulated but not realized. It is argued that
 Schumpeter's later work Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy (1942) comes
 closest to this program. Chapter 7 is not only an important document in
 the history of economic thought but is also one of the first explicit
 claims to develop a holistic, evolutionary and dynamic approach to economy
 and society.

Title: THE SEVENTH CHAPTER OF SCHUMPETER'S THE THEORY OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION 
Abstract:
  Schumpeter's seminal theory of economic development (1912) originally
 contained seven chapters. The last chapter was later omitted in both the
 German editions and the English translation. It is an ambitious attempt to
 place economic development within a larger sociological context, one of
 the pioneering classics in economic sociology. The presentation provides
 some of the background that led to this work and to its later neglect.

Title: e-Business and Disintegration of the Semiconductor Industry Value Chain 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the influence of Internet-based e-Business
 applications on the vertical separation of design, manufacture, equipment
 production and process development in the global semiconductor industry.
 Vertical specialization has contributed to the rapid growth of
 semiconductor manufacturing capacity in Southeast Asia and the creation of
 new forms of international production networks linking design and
 manufacturing specialists. Although these trends began before the
 development of Internet-related e-Business applications, the Internet is
 facilitating these trends and their effects on the geographic distribution
 of manufacturing capacity. At the same time, however, many of the
 opportunities created by e-Business applications for vertically
 specialized firms should prove equally advantageous to integrated device
 manufacturers. Obstacles to e-Business applications in the global
 semiconductor industry include standardsrelated issues, data-security
 concerns, and the needs for far-reaching internal reorganization of
 business processes, especially by smaller firms. All of these obstacles
 suggest that the adoption of e-Business and the realization of its
 productivity benefits or cost efficiencies are likely to occur slowly.

Title: Transnational Communities and the Evolution of Global Production Networks: The Cases of Taiwan, China and India 
Abstract:
  Transnational entrepreneurs--US-educated immigrant engineers whose
 activities span national borders--are creating new economic opportunities
 for formerly peripheral economies around the world. As talented immigrants
 who have studied and worked in the USA return to their home countries to
 take advantage of promising new economic opportunities they are building
 technical communities that link regions in the developing world to the
 leading centers of information and communications technologies in the USA.
 This paper examines the cases of Taiwan, India and China to suggest that
 these transnational entrepreneurs and their communities provide a
 significant mechanism for the international diffusion of knowledge and the
 creation and upgrading of local capabilities--one that is distinct from,
 but complementary to, global production networks.

Title: Beyond the Maquila Model? Nafta and the Mexican Apparel Industry 
Abstract:
  This paper uses a comparative case study approach to explore the
 inter-organizational dynamics of the Mexican apparel industry's post-NAFTA
 export dynamism, and assesses the upgrading prospects that this dynamism
 entails for exporters in Mexico. The results of fieldwork conducted in
 three apparel-producing clusters in north, central, and southern Mexico
 are discussed. The key finding to emerge from this commodity chain
 analysis of linkages between US clients and local producers is that
 NAFTA-inspired full-package networks provide opportunities for some
 apparel-manufacturing clusters to upgrade their operations beyond the
 assembly-export role traditionally associated with Mexico's maquiladora
 plants. Evidence of industrial upgrading includes expanded employment
 opportunities in activities such as textile production, the generation of
 linkages to local suppliers, and improved working conditions in plants
 producing for brand-name clients. However, the upgrading process is
 profoundly uneven across the Mexican landscape. The extent to which
 national firms and workers benefit as a result of their participation in
 these networks is contingent on the way in which local clusters become
 incorporated into the apparel commodity chain, and in particular, on the
 type of governance exercised by the lead firms that control the
 organization of Mexico's export-oriented apparel industry.

Title: Electronics Contract Manufacturing: Global Production and the International Division of Labor in the Age of the Internet 
Abstract:
  The paper examines recent developments in the international division of
 labor in the electronics industry resulting from the emergence of
 electronics contract manufacturing. The transnational production networks
 of major contract manufacturers are analyzed before the background of the
 seminal shift to vertical specialization in the information technology
 industry, as epitomized by the "Wintelist" model of competition and
 technology development. The author discusses the development of contract
 manufacturing in the USA and Germany and in low-cost locations in
 Southeast Asia, Mexico, and Eastern Europe, and the possible impact of
 e-commerce-based supplier relationships on international knowledge
 diffusion and local capability formation.

Title: Global Production Networks and Information Technology: The Case of Taiwan 
Abstract:
  Recent developments have called into question the extent to which local
 agglomeration adequately encapsulates the dynamics of Taiwan's information
 technology industry. Under the pressure of globalization, global
 production networks have come to the fore of Taiwan's industrial strategy.
 By means of in-depth case studies on a PC and an IC firm, this paper sets
 to explore issues as to the Taiwanese firms' position within these global
 production networks and the way in which IT is used to facilitate the
 Taiwanese firms' participation in the global production networks. On
 balance, the use of IT in conjunction with the reshuffling of business
 models can help the Taiwanese firms to strengthen their position within
 the global production networks. In particular, the essence of IT
 application is to facilitate networked firms participating in setting the
 rules of the game for industrial competition, preferably in the
 international arena.

Title: Turbulence and Competitive Dynamics in the Internet Services Industry 
Abstract:
  This paper has two objectives. First, we seek to comprehend the
 overarching patterns of structural change underlying the hyper-dynamic
 processes shaping and reconfiguring the Internet services industry during
 both the Internet hype period in the late 1990s and the
 &#x22;&#x22;post-hype'' period after the turn of the millennium. This is
 done through an empirical account of the evolution in commercial
 customers' Internet use, the corresponding development of new Internet
 services, and through an analysis of the evolving competitive and
 cooperative dynamics in Internet services. This analysis encompasses an
 exposition of both the entry-based dynamics and the post-entry positioning
 dynamics of different strategic groups operating in Internet services--in
 particular &#x22;&#x22;old economy'' companies and their adaptation to
 Internet services. Secondly we try to answer the question whether Internet
 services is to be considered a complex value system of interrelated
 services provided by different types of firms in different industries,
 rather than a unitary industry of competing firms.

Title: The Division of Labor is Limited by the Extent of the Market? The Counter-case of the Okayama Farm-engine Industrial District in Japan 
Abstract:
  The purpose of this paper is to understand how industry organization
 evolves under conditions of a growing market. Since Adam Smith the
 traditional argument has claimed that as a market grows, a vertically
 disintegrated industry organization evolves, and that this enhances
 productivity. However, the question remains whether the market alone can
 select an efficient industry organization. This paper analyzes a case from
 the Japanese farm-engine industry of the 1950s, namely the industrial
 district of Okayama, where the breakthrough into disintegrated production
 was never achieved, despite rapid growth in the domestic market for
 agricultural engines. This led to the collapse of the district. The
 analysis shows that, if vertical disintegration requires radical changes
 in the technological competence of each firm, the market does not
 necessarily offer sufficient incentives for vertical disintegration, even
 under conditions of a growing market.

Title: The Embeddedness of Selfish Routines: How Routines are Replicated in Business Networks 
Abstract:
  The notion of routines as a powerful metaphor for explaining
 organizational capabilities and the evolution of organizations has been
 widely accepted as a central issue in evolutionary economics. The
 configuration and management of routines across organizational, and
 ownership, boundaries involves a range of specific managerial and
 strategic issues which are not addressed in the current literature on
 routines. However, as new less-hierarchical and more fluent organizational
 forms evolve, where boundaries between the organization and the
 environment are increasingly arbitrary, the role of routines beyond the
 organizational perimeter becomes increasingly relevant. It is argued here
 that social networks sustain interpersonal routines, which not only
 transgress organizational boundaries but on occasion also incubate new
 organizations in order to ensure their continued existence. This paper
 presents an overview of the routine concept and an argument for applying
 it in a network embeddedness context. Two case studies are presented,
 covering examples from the Danish dairy and the Danish machinery industry.

Title: Leading, Following or Cooked Goose? Innovation Successes and Failures in Taiwan's Electronics Industry 
Abstract:
  The reasons behind the innovation successes and failures in the Taiwanese
 electronics industry have been widely discussed. This paper makes its
 contribution to the debate by comparing the innovation outcomes for three
 products: complimentary metal oxide silicon (CMOS) logic, dynamic random
 access memory (DRAM) and active matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCDs).
 Four success factors are identified to characterize products where the
 Taiwanese pursue innovation: granularity of production; absence of need
 for large amounts of patient capital; volume production; and
 manufacturing-based production. In turn, this paper argues that products
 exhibiting these characteristics succeed because such characteristics draw
 upon the institutional and historical strengths of the Taiwanese economy.
 The paper broadens the inquiry to assess what lessons the Taiwanese
 innovation successes have for developing countries. It is argued that the
 new lesson Taiwan has to offer is that countries can become innovators by
 concentrating their human and financial capital through granularization of
 production.increasingly relevant. It is argued here that social networks
 sustain interpersonal routines, which not only transgress organizational
 boundaries but on occasion also incubate new organizations in order to
 ensure their continued existence. This paper presents an overview of the
 routine concept and an argument for applying it in a network embeddedness
 context. Two case studies are presented, covering examples from the Danish
 dairy and the Danish machinery industry.

Title: New Product Development and Product Supply within a Network Setting: The Chilled Ready-meal Industry in the UK 
Abstract:
  This paper analyses inter-organizational networks that link together
 firms operating in the food processing and distribution industry in the
 UK. In doing so, the paper draws on insights recently developed by Mark
 Casson that treat inter-firm networks as an institutional response to the
 changing costs and opportunities of information management. Detailed
 analysis of product innovation and supply-chain management issues within
 the industry, exemplified by the growth of chilled ready-meals, leads to
 the identification of two distinct but complementary inter-firm networks:
 a network of control and a network of innovation. In each case, the study
 finds that the critical information is derived from the retailers'
 interface with consumers and thus that these information-based networks
 are effectively controlled by the leading supermarket chains. The study's
 conclusions are considered in relation to the recent findings of the UK
 Competition Commission following its investigation into grocery retailing
 in Britain.

Title: Does Biotech Reflect a New Science-based Innovation Regime? 
Abstract:
  The purpose of this paper is to enter into the &#x22;&#x22;black box'' of
 science-based sectors, to seek a better understanding of the nature of the
 dynamics of such technological regimes in their different forms. Special
 attention is given to the institutional dimensions, which, in the authors'
 view, play a major role in structuring technological regimes and
 organizational trajectories. After a short review of the literature on
 science-based sectors and technological regimes, some specificities of the
 new emerging biotech sector are focused on, aiming to show how and why it
 can be regarded as a new type of science-based technological regime,
 referred to in this paper as the science-based &#x22;&#x22;type 2'' model.
 In a short final conclusion, some of the consequences of the existence of
 this basic distinction between two types of &#x22;&#x22;science-based''
 regime are explored.

Title: Technology Strategy and Knowledge Dynamics: The Case of Biotech&#xb9; 
Abstract:
  This study starts with the lack of clarity revealed in the literature so
 far as to whether technology is a source of differentiation between firms.
 The use of patent data allows the evolution of the technological profiles
 of 99 firms active in biotechnology-related applications to be traced. It
 is tested whether firms converge or diverge in terms both of their
 technology portfolios and of the way in which they combine their sets of
 technologies. It is found that the sources of technological heterogeneity
 between firms change over time, even when controlling for inter-sectoral
 differences (as in such sectors as pharmaceuticals, food processing, or
 chemicals). In brief, firms rely on an increasingly similar scientific
 corpus, the exploitation of which is gradually becoming firm specific.

Title: Sponsors, Communities, and Standards: Ethernet vs. Token Ring in the Local Area Networking Business 
Abstract:
  The discipline of economics has treated technological standards creation
 as an outcome of network externalities and decisions on the demand side.
 They pay little attention to the supply side, where firms make strategic
 choices as to which standard to support. These choices can ignite a
 contest between adherents to the different proposed standards. This case
 study examines the contest between the Ethernet and Token Ring standards
 for local area networking. IBM sponsored Token Ring, but then made it
 difficult for other firms to be successful in supplying components. In
 contrast, Ethernet's sponsors, DEC, Intel, and Xerox, structured the
 marketplace in such a way as to encourage supporters. The resulting
 Ethernet community was able to lower costs and improve the technology so
 dramatically that the Token Ring standard, which had initially been
 technically superior, was overwhelmed. We find that the critical
 difference in explaining the success of Ethernet was the nature and
 strategy of the standard's sponsors in assisting the growth of a community
 of firms supporting the standard.

Title: Transforming Industrial Districts: Large Firms and Small Business Networks in the Italian Eyewear Industry 
Abstract:
  This study is an evolutionary comparative analysis of how large,
 vertically integrated firms and networks of small firms perform, in
 response to the challenges posed by globalization. It focuses on the
 Italian eyewear industry which represents an ideal laboratory for studying
 the establishment and transformation of such diverse production models
 under ceteris paribus conditions (same industry, same challenges, same
 product, and same geographical location). Looking at longitudinal
 statistical data for the Belluno eyewear district and case studies of the
 four leading companies in the industry, this study demonstrates that,
 locally embedded networks of small firms no longer represent an
 organizational structure as robust and stable as in the past.
 Globalization challenges such networks and demands adjustments that
 transform the nature of the Belluno eyewear district, away from the
 traditional stereotype so widespread in the literature, towards a

Title: When Does a National Innovation System Start to Exhibit Systemic Behavior? 
Abstract:
  Despite the diversity of national profiles, the relationship between R&D
 structure and industrial structure, amongst others, is considered a
 crucial determinant of a country's national innovation system (NIS). This
 paper aims at investigating the systematic relationship between the two
 structures with respect to the portfolio of resource allocation. By
 proposing some operational definitions of R&D structure and industrial
 structure, a comparative analysis is conducted for the national profiles
 of OECD member economies. The correlation analysis reveals that, in an
 overall sense, there exists significant correlation between the two
 structures and the degree of correlation has increased over time,
 indicating that the linkage between innovation policy and industrial
 policy has become closer. Most interestingly, it is found that there may
 exist a threshold value of national R&D investment to GDP, around 2
 percent, that makes the correlation between R&D structure and industrial
 structure significant. This threshold is the time point when R&D starts to
 exercise systematic effects on industrial structure and thus NIS starts to
 behave like a system.

Title: Host-country Absorption of Technology: Evidence from Automotive Supply Networks in Eastern Europe 
Abstract:
  This paper provides an analysis of technology transfer in automotive
 supply networks in six EU candidate countries with important vehicle
 (component) industries. We survey more than 400 firms, representing
 roughly half of the automotive supply industry. In addition, we have
 in-depth information from 39 case studies. We address the generation, the
 origin, and the quality of technology transfer. In terms of generation, we
 look at the determinants of who receives technology along the value chain,
 and who passes it on. In terms of origin, we compare local and
 foreign-owned firms and those with mixed ownership. We also compare
 differences across the countries. In terms of quality, we discuss the
 change-inducing effects of technology as perceived by recipient firms. Our
 results confirm the salience of networks and the key role of MNCs for the
 generation and diffusion of technology. We also find that diffusion of
 technology happens within the countries so that host countries absorb more
 technology than is immediately apparent and commonly believed.

Title: Industrial Dynamics and Endogenous Growth 
Abstract:
  Economic growth can be described at the macro level, but it can never be
 explained at that level. Economic growth is a matter of experimental
 creation of a variety of technologies that are confronted with potential
 buyers (customers) in dynamic markets and hierarchies. Thus, economic
 growth results from the interaction of a variety of actors who create and
 use technology, and demanding customers. Economic growth is inherently a
 micro phenomenon. The focus of this paper is on the conditions that are
 conducive to creation of a variety of new technologies and on those that
 are necessary and sufficient for the efficient selection and capturing of
 winners. We refer to the former as a technological system and the latter
 as a competence bloc, combined with an experimentally organized economy
 (EOE). The confrontation between actors and between actors and ideas in
 the markets for innovation gives rise to what we call industrial dynamics.
 By specifying the mechanisms that generate new technology (rather than
 assuming an exogenous supply of technology), we endogenize economic
 growth.

Title: Receptive Capacity of Established Industries as a Limiting Factor in the Economy's Rate of Innovation&#xb9; 
Abstract:
  Although scholars and policy makers have widely acknowledged the
 importance of so-called high-technology industries as drivers of economic
 change, they have paid insufficient attention to the interaction between
 high-tech sectors and the remainder of the economy in developed countries.
 We contend that any constructive view of economic change must recognize
 the importance of the diffusion of innovative products and processes to
 the economy as a whole through the role that firms in established sectors
 play as customers and suppliers for high-tech firms. It is important to
 insure that the ""Receptive Capacity'' that these firms bring to
 innovative situations is as high as possible. To demonstrate our point, we
 first use ""old'' growth theory to develop a model of economic change and
 then show how this model ties in with ""new' ' growth theory by providing
 a convincing justification for investment in R&D and other innovative
 activities.

Title: The Economy as an Agent-based Whole--Simulating Schumpeterian Dynamics 
Abstract:
  Schumpeter's view on the dynamics of economic systems has regained
 topicality as an early contribution to the complexity view in economics.
 The aim of this paper is to test some of the ideas of Schumpeter using an
 agent-based computational model. As in the early work of Schumpeter, the
 model presented assigns a central role to entrepreneurs, and through
 mechanisms involving creative destruction, the model displays cyclical
 behavior around a growth path. Focus will be placed on the role of the
 bankruptcy mechanism in selecting winners and exiting losers.

Title: An Evolutionary Approach to the Theory of Entrepreneurship 
Abstract:
  An economic model featuring entrepreneurial behaviour is built and tested
 using simulation techniques. The building blocks of our model are
 bounded-rational actors with specific sets of endowments:
 ""entrepreneurial spirit'', human capital, and venture capital. The
 entrepreneurial behaviour to found a firm is triggered by the individuals'
 endowments, their social network, and the evaluation of the economic
 situation. Bandwagon effects occur when high growth rates in emerging
 markets increase firm entries and firm entries in return increase growth
 rates until competition unfolds its selective power. The firm's
 survivability is determined by its founders' endowments and its
 competitiveness. Whether actors are right or wrong in evaluating their
 economic situation and their consequent decisions is proven ex post .
 Thus, there will be winners and losers in this economic system.

Title: Introduction: Supply Chain Governance and Regional Development in the Global Economy 
Abstract:
  The discipline of economics has treated technological standards creation
 as an outcome of network externalities and decisions on the demand side.
 They pay little attention to the supply side, where firms make strategic
 choices as to which standard to support. These choices can ignite a
 contest between adherents to the different proposed standards. This case
 study examines the contest between the Ethernet and Token Ring standards
 for local area networking. IBM sponsored Token Ring, but then made it
 difficult for other firms to be successful in supplying components. In
 contrast, Ethernet's sponsors, DEC, Intel, and Xerox, structured the
 marketplace in such a way as to encourage supporters. The resulting
 Ethernet community was able to lower costs and improve the technology so
 dramatically that the Token Ring standard, which had initially been
 technically superior, was overwhelmed. We find that the critical
 difference in explaining the success of Ethernet was the nature and
 strategy of the standard's sponsors in assisting the growth of a community
 of firms supporting the standard.

Title: Governing Decentralized Production: Institutions, Public Policy, and the Prospects for Inter-firm Collaboration in US Manufacturing 
Abstract:
  Much of the literature on the changing face of US manufacturing
 acknowledges that successful governance of decentralized production is
 vital to its future but questions whether in practice firms will engage in
 the collaborative relationships envisaged by optimistic theorists of a
 "new production paradigm". Our interview-based field research on large and
 small metalworking firms in the US upper Midwest shows that although large
 manufacturers are actively seeking to improve collaboration by sharing
 strategic information and engaging in joint design, pervasive
 organizational dysfunctions create systemic barriers to the fuller
 development of cooperative relations with suppliers. But these barriers do
 not appear insurmountable. The example of a Wisconsin policy experiment is
 used to demonstrate the viability of institutional solutions that can help
 resolve inter- and intra-organizational blockages, while encouraging
 manufacturing firms to follow through on the collaborative strategies they
 officially espouse.

Title: Emerging Strategies and Forms of Governance in High-Wage Component Manufacturing Regions 
Abstract:
  This paper provides a broad survey of the current terrain of components
 production in the high-wage regions of North America and Europe. Its
 central message is that it is unwise to believe in the unitary
 characterizations of the development of relations between original
 equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers in contemporary
 manufacturing. The character of the current environment aligns strategies
 among all parties such that heterogeneity in relations between customers
 and suppliers is systematically reproduced. Four broad types of strategy
 are shown to be both currently possible and pursued in the current market.
 But there is a considerable amount of hedging as well as hybridity
 observable among component producer strategies. In a similar way, the
 range of governance mechanisms currently being developed and deployed
 among producers in the sector is quite broad. The same problem is being
 addressed by a multiple of alternative institutional arrangements.
 Mechanisms can be either public or private, or both, and formal or
 informal. They can also be corporate, associational, consortial, and
 market-based.

Title: Pragmatic Collaborations in Practice: A Response to Herrigel and Whitford and Zeitlin 
Abstract:
  Pragmatic collaborations are indeed less stable than some formulations in
 the original Helper, MacDuffie, and Sabel paper suggest ("Pragmatic
 collaborations: advancing knowledge while controlling opportunism",
 Industrial and Corporate Change, 9(3): 443-488 2000). This reply argues
 that the instability derives at least as much from constitutive features
 of iterative cooperative design properly understood as from power
 imbalances. Because of the inherent instability of iterated co-design as
 exasperated by power imbalances, governance mechanisms are indeed required
 to stabilize emergent forms of collaboration. But these governance
 mechanisms can themselves be interpreted as embodying many of the features
 of the iterative co-design process itself.

Title: Developing Supplier Capabilities: Market and Non-market Approaches 
Abstract:
  We explore the ways that component suppliers in a traditional US
 manufacturing region (Cleveland) have responded to their customers'
 demands for improved quality, cost, and delivery. We find that a
 surprising number (almost a third) have not responded by attempting
 systematic improvements in their production capabilities. However,
 two-thirds of suppliers have worked to improve their capabilities in these
 areas, adopting such policies as just-in-time and total quality
 management. Although many of the policies are inspired by Japanese
 management practices, the method of transfer makes far more use of market
 mechanisms (such as purchase of consulting services and hiring of
 employees who have experience implementing such practices), than in Japan.
 We examine the advantages and disadvantages of such market-based diffusion
 mechanisms.

Title: The Outsourcing "Prince": Models of Supply Chain Governance in the Italian Automobile Districts 
Abstract:
  The main hypothesis of this paper is that the economic and social risks
 of outsourcing for individual and collective actors can be reduced or
 better controlled if the decentralization processes are the subject of
 innovative forms of negotiated regulation. But models of supply chain
 governance are very different not only across countries, e.g. between
 Italy and the USA, but also across territories within the same country, as
 in the case of the Italian automobile districts. The results of
 comparative empirical studies of outsourcing in the USA and Italy
 underline differences in the form of social regulation, more competitive
 in the former than the latter. But a comparative analysis of the two
 Italian regions of Piedmont and Basilicata reveals very divergent
 territorial patterns of supply chain governance alongside some common
 tendencies in relation to innovation, industrial relations, and human
 resource management.

Title: Transnational Strategies and Regional Development: The Case of GM and Delphi in Mexico 
Abstract:
  The Mexican automotive industry has been undergoing continuous and rapid
 change over the past two decades. Much of this change has been understood
 in the context of related processes of firm restructuring and
 globalization. The paper examines GM's global strategies and describes the
 profound transformation of Mexican affiliates in re-orientating away from
 production for the domestic market towards global operations. It also
 analyses the successful experience of Delphi (GM's former components
 division) in Ciudad Juarez as an example of how the agglomeration can add
 value under specific social and institutional conditions by forming a
 sectoral cluster in which a network of companies accelerate learning,
 especially among engineers and technicians. Delphi is one of the most
 conspicuous examples of the process of productive integration within the
 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), as well as a model of
 technological learning and upgrading in an emerging economy. Finally the
 paper examines the limited influence of public policy initiatives aimed at
 building on the upgrading strategies of transnational firms in Mexico to
 stimulate endogenous regional development by local suppliers.

Title: Introduction: Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Growth 
Abstract:
  Innovative activity is a central element shaping both the competitiveness
 and the economic development of nations and regions. The capacity to
 innovate has been shown to serve as the driving engine of economic growth
 and job creation. Today start-up firms and SMEs are seen as one channel of
 technology transfer from science to commercialised ideas or knowledge. The
 purpose of this introductory paper is to provide a roadmap to the articles
 and to summarize the most important issues raised.

Title: Sustaining Innovation and Growth: Public Policy Support for Entrepreneurship 
Abstract:
  This paper seeks to provide a link between the role of SMEs on the one
 hand and economic performance, in terms of innovation and growth, on the
 other hand. It illuminates in which ways the view of the dynamic
 contributions of SMEs have changed since Schumpeter formulated his
 entrepreneurship-driven framework. In doing so, the paper proposes a
 theoretical framework for linking SMEs to innovation and growth.
 Implications for public policy are outlined.

 high-technology start-ups publicly listed in Germany, this paper tests the
 propositions that geographic proximity to the university is influenced by
 the kind of science and type of knowledge spillover. The results provide
 evidence that younger high technology start-ups (less than eight years
 old) settle near universities with a high academic output and a high
 number of students in both natural and social science. Thus, spillover of
 tacit knowledge has an impact on the firms' geographic decision. Older
 firms, however, only locate closer to technical universities in order to
 satisfy demand for traditional German industries such as engineering and
 machinery.

Title: Location Decisions of Spin-offs from Public Research Institutions 
Abstract:
  Researchers who start their own businesses are expected to locate close
 to the parent organisation (i.e. universities, public research labs) in
 order to benefit from spillovers, thus transferring localised knowledge
 into the regional economy. However, empirical evidence on location
 patterns of public research spin-offs is rather limited and usually
 restricted to case studies for certain universities and regions. This
 paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the spatial distribution of new
 firm formations by researchers from universities and public research
 organisations, based on a representative data set for Germany. It shows
 that location patterns of public research spin-offs do not differ from
 other new firm formations. Proximity to the parent institution is of
 little significance for location decisions, whereas spin-offs are
 attracted by locations with a high number of potential customers and a
 large supply of highly qualified labour. Public research spin-offs rather
 contribute to an interregional than to an intraregional knowledge
 transfer.

Title: The Determinants of Debt and (Private) Equity Financing: The Case of Young, Innovative SMEs from Germany 
Abstract:
  Financial theory creates a puzzle. Some authors argue that high-risk
 entrepreneurs choose debt contracts instead of equity contracts since
 risky but high returns are of relatively more value for a loan-financed
 firm. Conversely, authors who focus explicitly on start-up finance predict
 that entrepreneurs are the more likely to seek equity-like venture capital
 contracts, the more risky their projects are. Our paper is an initial step
 towards resolving this puzzle empirically. We present microeconometric
 evidence on the determinants of debt and equity financing in young and
 innovative SMEs. We pay special attention to the role of risk for the
 choice of the method of financing. Since risk is not directly observable
 we use different indicators for financial and project risk. It turns out
 that our data generally confirms the hypothesis that the probability that
 a young high-tech firm receives equity financing is an increasing function
 of the financial risk. With regard to the intrinsic project risk, our
 results are less conclusive, as some of our indicators of a risky project
 are found to have a negative effect on the likelihood to be financed by
 private equity.

Title: The Performance of Venture-Backed Firms: The Effect of Venture Capital Company Characteristics 
Abstract:
  This paper deals with the empirical investigation of the question as to
 which type of venture capital (VC) companies determines the growth and
 survival of istics of VC companies as additional factors that explain the
 high variation of the employment growth rate of portfolio firms and their
 probability of surviving. Surprisingly, venture- backed firms financed by
 independent VC companies are not among the most successful firms.
 Independent VC companies are some of those with the greatest profit
 orientation and hence, a high quality of the value chain process is to be
 expected. Significantly higher employment growth rates are evident for
 firms financed by locally active VCs. Changes in the board of directors do
 not have a positive effect on firms' performance. Syndicated investment
 strategy seems to be a successful strategy.

Title: Indigenous Innovation and Economic Development: Lessons from China's Leap into the Information Age 
Abstract:
  With a view to furthering our understanding of the process of indigenous
 innovation and its impact on economic development, this paper summarizes
 case studies of the evolution, from their origins to the late 1990s, of
 four of China's leading computer electronics companies: Stone, Legend,
 Great Wall, and Founder. The original case studies constitute the body of
 the late Qiwen Lu's important book, China's Leap into the Information Age:
 Innovation and Organization in the Computer Industry. A Chinese national,
 with a background in chemical engineering, Lu obtained his PhD in
 sociology from Harvard University in 1997 and was an INSEAD faculty member
 at the time of his death in August 1999, just 2 months after submitting
 his completed book manuscript to Oxford University Press. In this review
 essay, I present Lu's findings within a "social conditions of innovative
 enterprise" framework that stresses the importance of strategic control,
 organizational integration, and financial commitment in the innovation
 process. I conclude by considering the implications of this interpretation
 of these case studies for comprehending the dynamics of indigenous
 innovation and the debates on economic development.

Title: Economic Action Does Not Take Place in a Vacuum: Understanding Cisco's Acquisition and Development Strategy 
Abstract:
  The literature and common belief holds that the acquisition of high-
 technology firms in rapidly evolving markets normally results in failure.
 Cisco, however, has successfully grown through the conscious and
 deliberate use of acquisitions to become the dominant global networking
 equipment provider. The crux of our argument is that Cisco's success
 cannot be fully explained by economic and financial variables, or by
 acquisition target selection, alone. Managing social and organizational
 processes has been central to Cisco's success. Cisco's success is
 attributed to an active involvement by both the firm and its employees in
 its ecosystem. We explain the operation of Cisco's multiplex intelligence
 gathering function, and characterize it as a "high surface area strategy".
 This is followed by highlighting how Cisco's due diligence process treats
 human resource issues as central to calculating the true value of the
 acquisition. Whereas, most firms consider the process as complete when the
 decision to acquire has been made, this study explains how Cisco's
 integration process is staged to ensure that the core product development
 teams in the acquired firm suffer minimal disruption. Finally, Cisco's
 success is measured through the use of retention and market share data.

Title: Industry-Public Knowledge Infrastructure Interaction: Intra- and Inter-organizational Explanations of Interactive Learning 
Abstract:
  This paper pursues the development and empirical exploration of a
 theoretical framework that explains the probabilities of interactive
 learning of innovating firms and actors in the public knowledge
 infrastructure. Our research question reads as follows: To what extent
 does the strength of innovator firms' internal knowledge resources, the
 complexity of their innovative activities, and the structuring of their
 innovative activities influence the probabilities of interactive learning
 between innovating firms and actors in the knowledge infrastructure? We
 contend basically that more complex innovative activities increase the
 probability of internal resource deficits/shortages in innovating firms.
 The higher the resource deficits/shortages and the lower the alignment of
 innovative activities, the more likely the search for complementary
 resources externally, which induces higher probabilities of interactive
 learning with actors in the knowledge infrastructure. In order to test the
 generality of our theoretical claims six models were examined, predicting
 the probability of interactive learning of innovating firms with the
 knowledge infrastructure (universities and research centres) controlling
 for sectoral differences in technological dynamics and size effects. Both
 monotonic and non-monotonic effects were tested. Our findings show that
 antecedents of patterns of interactive learning differ widely and are
 contingent upon sectoral technological dynamics and firm size. Our
 findings enhance a substantial refinement of the main theoretical
 arguments explaining the level of interactive learning. The absorptive
 capacity effect turns out to have an inverted U-shape only for small- and
 medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The complexity effect is monotonic in
 some cases and non-monotonic in others. The interaction effect turned out
 to be U-shaped. The internal integration of innovative activities has no
 effect at all. Support by bridging institutions had a very strong
 influence on levels of interactive learning between innovating firms and
 knowledge infrastructure, but only for SMEs.

Title: The Changing Technological Profile of the Leading ICT Firms: Evidence from US Patent Data, 1981-2000 
Abstract:
  Drawing upon the patent data for 63 of the largest firms in the
 information and communication technology (ICT) sector for the period
 1981-2000, this paper investigates how the technological profile of these
 firms has altered in relation to technological advantage, technological
 diversity and path dependency. Using a previously established measure of
 revealed technological advantage, the firms in the sample almost
 universally exhibited a decline over time in this measure. While this
 result is contrary to other multi-industry research, it may be unique to
 the ICT industry as many non-ICT oriented firms patent in the area as ICT
 technology underpins developments in more and more industries. In relation
 to technological diversity, there were high levels of intra-sector
 diversification, but little diversity beyond the ICT sector, supporting
 the notion that the emergence of technology markets will support
 specialization. In addition, strong evidence of path dependency was found
 indicating that firms adopt long-term strategies for developing their
 technology portfolios. Given the rapid growth of technology markets, these
 findings have considerable implications as to the nature and operation of
 these markets.

Title: Knowledge, Finance and Human Capital: The Role of Social Institutional Variables on Entrepreneurship in Japan 
Abstract:
  New technology-based firms are acknowledged as playing an important role
 in the knowledge-based economy. Policy makers in Japan have advocated the
 creation of such firms, focusing on two primary fields--biotechnology and
 information technology (IT)--which are expected to make major
 contributions to Japan's international competitiveness, to the creation of
 new industries, and to employment opportunities. Although several
 empirical studies have been conducted into such firms in the West, few
 comparable studies have been undertaken in Japan using original data from
 indigenous firms. This paper addresses this gap by examining several
 firm-level and managerial characteristics of Japanese biotechnology and IT
 venture firms, in the context of three social institutional variables that
 impact on entrepreneurship and the growth of such firms: knowledge,
 finance and human capital.

Title: Aerospace Clusters: Local or Global Knowledge Spillovers? 
Abstract:
  The literature about regional innovation systems, clusters and industrial
 districts insists on the importance of local knowledge spillovers.
 Nevertheless, more recently a few authors have put in question the
 importance of local knowledge spillovers. This paper provides an analysis
 of some of the most dynamic aerospace clusters in the world, located in
 Montreal, Seattle, Toulouse and Toronto. We start by discussing theories
 of clustering, then provide research questions as well as empirical
 evidence on the international nature of knowledge spillovers. Local
 knowledge spillovers are less significant, of a different nature, and they
 may make a scanty contribution to explain the geographical agglomeration
 of firms. Conversely, international spillovers help to explain the
 relative dispersion of industry across nations. Resilient geographical
 clustering is related to the anchor tenant effects as creators of labour
 pools and owners of very large manufacturing plants creating regional
 inertia. We thus reject the local knowledge spillover explanation of
 aerospace clusters in favour of another one based on anchor firms and
 their effects on the local labour pool.

Title: Collaborative Public Space in a National Innovation System: A Case Study of the Israeli Military's Impact on the Software Industry 
Abstract:
  Both systems of innovation and cluster theories emphasize the importance
 of institutions that facilitate learning and information diffusion as well
 as community building for the continuous success of industrial systems.
 Nevertheless, they fail to combine their insights into a general
 system-level understanding. In order to fill this gap the concept of
 collaborative public space (CPS) is defined. It is then used to analyze
 the Israeli military's role within the Israeli IT industry, employing the
 case study method to analyze a specific section of the
 military&#x2014;MAMRAM&#x2014;the main programming, software engineering,
 and computer users training unit. The paper's main findings are that,
 contrary to the commonly argued view, which sees the military mainly as a
 supplier of factors of production such as high skilled labor, or
 technological spin-offs, the military has been playing a critical role in
 the continuing success of the high-tech industry by providing it with a
 CPS. The military acts as an important center of information gathering,
 processing, and dissemination for the Israeli software innovation system,
 as the originator and strengthener of many social networks, and as the
 connecting node between various weakly tied social networks.

Title: Multinationality Matters in Innovation: The Case of the UK Financial Services 
Abstract:
  The paper starts with a brief summary of theoretical perspectives on the
 relationship between multinationality and innovation and the move from a
 centralized and hierarchical perspective to a more decentralized
 network-based one. Four hypotheses are set up to test the relationship
 between multinationality and innovation, using data from the Community
 Innovation Survey 12 for the financial services sector. All models control
 for the size of the enterprise. The results show that multinationality is
 positively related to innovation activities. The positive impact of being
 part of a multinational company (MNC) on the propensity to innovate seems
 largely due to the fact that MNCs operate in different countries rather
 than, or more than, to the enterprise being part of a group. The relevance
 of multinationality appears to be higher, the higher the degree of
 internationalization of the company of which the enterprise is part. The
 country of origin of the company appears also to be important.

Title: &#x201c;Get Rich, or Die Trying&#x201d;: Lessons from Rambus' High-Risk Predatory Litigation in the Semiconductor Industry 
Abstract:
  Patent litigation is a visible and widespread feature of the
 semiconductor industry, as firms pursue judicial mechanisms to defend, or
 promote, their intellectual property portfolios. This study highlights the
 antecedents, strategic goals, tactics and outcomes of the most significant
 US trial of this type in the last decade, namely Rambus v. Infineon,
 whereby a smaller company (Rambus) successfully pursued a &#x201c;do or
 die&#x201d; litigation campaign against a larger rival, thus changing the
 rules of engagement for the semiconductor industry as a whole. This
 campaign is notable, not just because of its undoubted effects on the
 semiconductor industry, but because of the innovative nature of Rambus'
 strategy, which was extremely risky both in terms of its prospects of
 success and its potential damage to the company if it failed. Arguing that
 dominant logic and operating rules are important antecedents in the
 development and pursuit of patent litigation strategies, this paper
 analyses the Rambus case using a &#x201c;dominant logic&#x201d; and
 &#x201c;effectuation&#x201d; framework. Doing so demonstrates the
 innovative nature of Rambus' &#x201c;high-risk predatory strategy&#x201d;,
 the outcome of a dominant logic sustained by effectuation principles. The
 paper discusses the impact and significance of this new strategic form.

 institutional configurations and state involvements in the 1990s. While
 the EU was calling for a unified regulatory framework for its member
 states, the UK and Germany adopted very different renewable energy
 policies. The evidence of the early 1990s shows that the British
 government employed &#x201c;deregulation&#x201d; with so limited state
 involvement that wind energy project developers faced thorny development
 problems, while the German government tried to require the electricity
 supply industry to purchase expensive wind power by
 &#x201c;regulation&#x201d; but encountered formidable resistance.
 Nevertheless, both the British and German administrations later could
 resolve these problems through new forms of state power. This suggests
 that, firstly, neither &#x201c;deregulation&#x201d; nor
 &#x201c;regulation&#x201d; is an effective means to develop wind power
 with increasing electricity liberalization and regionalization. Secondly,
 &#x201c;obliging&#x201d; regulations and state powers are vital to the
 policy outcome by harnessing the state's institutional capacity to smooth
 out technology innovation and diffusion.

Title: Do Services Innovate (Differently)? Insights from the European Innobarometer Survey 
Abstract:
  Although advanced economies are increasingly dominated by services,
 relatively little is known about whether and how services innovate.
 Instead, our understanding of innovation and innovation processes has been
 very largely derived from studies of manufacturing, and the production of
 technologically advanced artefacts. As services do not generally produce
 technologically advanced artefacts, they are often considered to be
 non-innovative, or &#x201c;supplier-dominated&#x201d; recipients of
 technologies rather than &#x201c;true innovators&#x201d;. An alternative
 perspective is that services tend to innovate differently from
 manufacturers, or at least that innovation in services brings to the fore
 &#x201c;softer&#x201d; aspects of innovation based in skills and
 inter-organisational cooperation practices which are pervasive across the
 economy but which do not tend to be prominent amongst manufacturers, and
 are therefore neglected. We examine these issues through an empirical
 analysis of a survey of European firms which was carried out in 2002.

Title: Organization of Knowledge and Innovation: The Case of Finnish Business Services 
Abstract:
  This empirical study examines knowledge creation activities in business
 service firms. Using survey data of 167 Finnish knowledge-intensive
 business service firms, I explore hypotheses about the organization of
 learning and innovation. Results from an exploratory factor analysis
 combined with regression analyses suggest that, first, collective
 application of knowledge is more likely to lead to significant
 improvements in services than individual application of knowledge. Second,
 external sourcing of knowledge, particularly from customers and
 competitors, is more conducive to new service introductions than local and
 incremental learning on the job. Broad information sourcing and internal
 cooperation to mobilize knowledge thus support the renewal of
 knowledge-intensive business services. More significant service
 innovations are also supported by highly educated employees, but the role
 of R&D investments is not significant.

Title: Strategic Outsourcing of IT Services: Theoretical Stocktaking and Empirical Challenges 
Abstract:
  This paper presents a review of existing theoretical perspectives and
 empirical work on strategic IT outsourcing. By presenting the main
 findings of various recent studies and elaborating on current research
 gaps it conveys a picture of the past research, the present findings and
 the future applications of IT outsourcing. Prior research has generated
 theoretical insights and largely qualitative evidence on IT outsourcing.
 While quantitative studies remain sparse, limited to decision making and
 performance, there is a lack of quantitative empirical research examining
 outsourcing processes more comprehensively. This paper outlines a simple,
 yet integrative process model and develops propositions, which serve to
 integrate and compare theoretical strands, to evaluate existing empirical
 research and to stimulate new avenues of empirical research.

Title: Episodic Innovation: R&D Strategies for Project-Based Environments 
Abstract:
  Many businesses organise activities as projects when they need to
 coordinate loose networks of individuals and firms in order to complete
 specific, discrete tasks. Some use research and development (R&D) and
 technical support functions for problem-solving on projects. Yet firms
 working in this mode rarely have the opportunity to translate lessons from
 projects into organisational capabilities. This paper explores R&D
 strategies adopted by project-based firms, drawing on data collected in
 four case studies of engineering consultancies. It focuses on the
 development of organisational memory and capability through creation of
 meta-routines. In doing so, we assess the impact of choices made in
 organising R&D on learning and capability development. We argue that new
 models of decentralised R&D are required for project-based environments
 that combine flexibility and integration with a long-term strategic
 perspective.

Title: New Modes of Learning in Services: A Study of Hong Kong's Consulting Engineers 
Abstract:
  The point of departure of this paper is that Hong Kong consulting
 engineers face a challenge of making a transition from a traditional mode
 of learning based primarily on the exploitation of existing knowledge to a
 more innovation-oriented mode of learning. Focusing on three key
 dimensions of the accumulation of knowledge in the consulting engineering
 sector, the paper examines the intrinsic and extrinsic barriers to an
 innovation-oriented mode of learning among consulting engineering firms in
 Hong Kong. First, the paper studies the role of mobilizing creative human
 resources; second, it examines the role of partnership and interaction in
 project-based organizations; third, it explores the effects of more
 widespread use of information and communication technology (ICT) for
 enhancing the flow of knowledge and innovation in the sector.

Title: Limits to Modularity: Reflections on Recent Developments in Chip Design 
Abstract:
  Research on &#x201c;modularity&#x201d; has made an important contribution
 to the study of technical change and economic institutions. It
 demonstrates that progress in the division of labor in design (technical
 modularity) has created new opportunities for the organization of firms
 beyond vertical integration, by fostering vertical specialization in both
 manufacturing and innovation. However, a small, but growing revisionist
 literature contends that the enthusiasm for modularity has gone too far.
 Instead of exploring challenges and difficulties that management is facing
 in implementing modularity, there is a tendency in the
 &#x201c;modularity&#x201d; literature to generalize empirical observations
 that are context-specific and to confound them with prescription as well
 as prediction. This paper sides with the revisionist literature in
 cautioning against claims of pervasive modularity. The objective is not to
 propose an alternative theory. More modestly, I am aiming to move the
 debate away from polemics to a scholarly discourse that asks what forces
 might constrain the convergence of technical, organizational and market
 modularity. A related objective is to explore what management can do to
 overcome these limits. I examine new evidence from a cutting-edge
 industry, semiconductors, that is often cited by modularity proponents as
 an indicator of broader industry trends. The paper shows that, even in
 this industry, there are powerful counter-forces causing organizational
 structures to become more integrated, not more arm's length. Evidence from
 chip design is used to analyze how competitive dynamics and cognitive
 complexity create modularity limits, and to examine management responses.
 I demonstrate that inter-firm collaboration requires more (not less)
 coordination through corporate management, if codification does not reduce
 complexity&#x2014;which it fails to do when technologies keep changing
 fast and unpredictably.

Title: Technological Determinism and Modularity: Lessons from a Comparison between Aircraft and Auto Industries in Europe 
Abstract:
  Initial studies of modular manufacturing processes have shown that this
 dominant design required a fundamentally novel organisational structure of
 the industries. The underlying hypothesis of technological determinism
 merits a deeper exploration. The first part of the present paper aims at
 presenting the logic of this argument while making a distinction between
 the technological and organisational aspects of modularity. Based on this
 we then attempt a study of the manner in which the transition to
 modularity takes place in the aircraft and automobile industries. Our main
 conclusion is that while it may be possible to posit a convergence between
 these two industries, the paths followed are still quite clearly opposed.

Title: Innovation Systems in Tourism: The Roles of Attractors and Scene-Takers 
Abstract:
  This paper proposes a model of an attractor-based innovation system for
 understanding tourism. Key components of the model are the attractor (that
 which attracts visitors), scene-maker, scene, collaborative networks
 between tourism and other firms and, finally, the crucial function of the
 scene-taker. Findings from eight in-depth case studies taken from around
 the world are summarized in the form of seven hypotheses concerning the
 operations of such innovation systems. It is argued that scene-takers, in
 the form of individual entrepreneurs and organizations, perform a crucial
 function in the innovation system in developing and maintaining the scene.
 Finally, some policy implications for building such a system are
 suggested.

Title: Innovation in Industrial Districts: Evidence from Italy 
Abstract:
  The aim of this paper is to show that Italian manufacturing firms
 belonging to Marshallian industrial districts carry out a higher
 innovative effort than is usually acknowledged. The empirical analysis
 makes use of a panel of 1,218 district and non-district firms belonging to
 traditional sectors. Data refers to the years 1992 and 1995. We have
 estimated an augmented Cobb-Douglas production function. The estimates
 make it possible to empirically identify three different determinants of
 firms' productivity: (i) the intentional innovative activity; (ii) the
 &#x201c;district effect&#x201d;; and (iii) the joint district and
 innovation effect. The results show that firms' membership in industrial
 districts and product innovations are key factors in explaining the
 productivity of firms working in traditional Italian sectors.

Title: (How) Do (Firms in) Clusters Create Knowledge? 
Abstract:
  The literature on clusters and cluster building has been rapidly growing
 both in academic and policy-making circles. Central to this interest and
 body of work has been the assumption that location in clusters helps firms
 to exchange, acquire and generate new knowledge. Since knowledge is
 increasingly believed to be the basis of firm competitiveness clustered
 firms and industries will outperform others. This paper sets out to
 examine the evidence for propositions regarding the knowledge-enhancing
 qualities of clusters by reviewing the literature with the expressed
 intention of examining whether such claims in fact rest upon rigorous and
 verifiable empirical findings. In order to do this we extract from the
 theoretical literature on clusters three hypothetical arguments for the
 knowledge creating and competitiveness generating power of clusters:
 knowledge in clusters is created through various forms of local
 inter-organizational collaborative interaction; knowledge in clusters is
 created through increased competition and intensified rivalry; knowledge
 in clusters is created through spillover following from the local mobility
 and sociability of individuals. The paper goes on to assess and evaluate
 the number and rigour of empirical cases supporting these types of
 argument.

Title: Epistemic Communities and Cluster Dynamics: On the Role of Knowledge in Industrial Districts 
Abstract:
  This paper questions the prevailing notions that firms within industrial
 clusters have privileged access to &#x201c;tacit knowledge&#x201d; that is
 unavailable&#x2014;or available only at high cost&#x2014;to firms located
 elsewhere, and that such access provides competitive advantages that cause
 the growth and development of both firms and regions. It outlines a model
 of cluster dynamics emphasizing two mutually interdependent processes: the
 concentration of specialized and complementary epistemic communities, on
 the one hand, and entrepreneurship and a high rate of new firm formation
 on the other.

Title: Geographies of Knowledge Formation in Firms 
Abstract:
  This paper focuses on the spatial dimension of learning in firms. It
 works with important new insights in economic geography that stress the
 role of spatial proximity and territorial embeddedness in the process of
 knowledge formation, but it also seeks to go beyond them by recognizing
 learning based on relations at a distance. The paper defines space as a
 network of both contiguous and non-contiguous relations of varying length,
 shape and duration, where knowing can involve all manner of spatial
 mobilizations, including placements of task teams in neutral spaces,
 face-to-face encounters, global networks held together by travel and
 virtual communications, flows of ideas and information through the supply
 chain, and trans-corporate thought experiments and symbolic rituals.

Title: Local Nodes in Global Networks: The Geography of Knowledge Flows in Biotechnology Innovation 
Abstract:
  The literature on innovation and interactive learning has tended to
 emphasize the importance of local networks, inter-firm collaboration and
 knowledge flows as the principal source of technological dynamism. More
 recently, however, this view has come to be challenged by other
 perspectives that argue for the importance of non-local knowledge flows.
 According to this alternative approach, truly dynamic economic regions are
 characterized both by dense local social interaction and knowledge
 circulation, as well as strong inter-regional and international
 connections to outside knowledge sources and partners. This paper offers
 an empirical examination of these issues by examining the geography of
 knowledge flows associated with innovation in biotechnology. We begin by
 reviewing the growing literature on the nature and geography of innovation
 in biotechnology research and the commercialization process. Then,
 focusing on the Canadian biotech industry, we examine the determinants of
 innovation (measured through patenting activity), paying particular
 attention to internal resources and capabilities of the firm, as well as
 local and global flows of knowledge and capital. Our study is based on the
 analysis of Statistics Canada's 1999 Survey of Biotechnology Use and
 Development, which covers 358 core biotechnology firms. Our findings
 highlight the importance of in-house technological capability and
 absorptive capacity as determinants of successful innovation in
 biotechnology firms. Furthermore, our results document the precise ways in
 which knowledge circulates, in both embodied and disembodied forms, both
 locally and globally. We also highlight the role of formal intellectual
 property transactions (domestic and international) in promoting knowledge
 flows. Although we document the importance of global networks in our
 findings, our results also reveal the value of local networks and specific
 forms of embedding. Local relational linkages are especially important
 when raising capital&#x2014;and the expertise that comes with it&#x2014;to
 support innovation. Nevertheless, our empirical results raise some
 troubling questions about the alleged pre-eminence of the local in
 fostering innovation.

Title: New Firm Growth: Exploring Processes and Paths 
Abstract:
  This paper provides an approach to new firm growth that views this as an
 unfolding developmental process. This approach is based on a Penrosean
 (1995) model of the firm. We find that new firm growth is non-linear and
 prone to interruptions and setbacks to an extent overlooked in the
 literature. From the model of development used, five propositions are
 drawn concerning measurable features of new firms' growth paths; these
 relate to patterns of survival, continuousness of growth, turning points,
 reversals and cumulative growth. These propositions are examined in the
 light of data on the growth paths of new firms in three countries, with
 aggregate comparisons of firms' growth paths effected by graphical
 representations and sequence analysis.

Title: The Dependence of Innovativeness on the Local Firm Population&#x2014;An Empirical Study of German Patents 
Abstract:
  Local clusters and the co-location of firms are repeatedly related to a
 high level of innovativeness in the literature. The underlying argument is
 that firms that are co-located with other firms of the same industry
 undertake more innovation than &#x201c;lonely&#x201d; firms because of
 spillovers, local labour markets and cooperations. These arguments are
 tested here for four industries in Germany. To this end, four different
 hypotheses about the impact of co-location on the innovativeness of firms
 are formulated and empirically compared. The results show that the
 innovativeness of firms indeed depends on the existence of other firms in
 the same region. However, the relationship between co-location and
 innovation output depends on the industry studied.

Title: Networks and Rapid Technological Change: Novel Evidence from the Canadian Biotech Industry 
Abstract:
  Former studies on inter-organizational relationships have fallen short of
 properly identifying networks and elucidating factors that cause firms to
 entertain relationships in one type of network rather than another. This
 study adopts a methodology that is both empirical and comparative and thus
 constitutes a methodological departure from these previous studies. It
 also explicitly accounts for two structural characteristics of networks,
 namely, interactions and learning, to identify four types of networks,
 accumulative advantage networks, follow-the-trend networks, homophilies
 and multiconnectivity networks. It then investigates factors that cause
 firms to participate in any of these networks rather than another. Results
 show that even though networking is a common practice among biotech firms,
 most of them would rather keep this activity to a minimum. In addition,
 participation in these networks is found to vary according to the firm's
 size, stage of development and its sector of activity.

Title: Competitiveness and an Emerging Sector: The Russian Software Industry and its Global Linkages 
Abstract:
  This paper analyzes the Russian software industry in the context of trade
 in information technology services. We assess Russia's underlying sources
 of competitive edge in software, such as its scientific establishments,
 education system, diaspora and low costs, and identify the institutional
 impediments to growth. A survey reveals that foreign outsourcing
 contracts, a high value-added niche and high education levels characterize
 Russia's small, privately held software firms. A comparison with the
 Indian software industry underscores the structural differences in
 outsourcing relationships developed by the two countries and emphasizes
 that national advantages are complex amalgamations of many factors and
 need to be overtly marketed. Beyond the resources that give comparative
 and competitive advantage to a transitioning economy, a critical role is
 played by powerful industry organizations and by non-market state
 institutions that can level the economic field and inject credibility into
 market structures.

Title: Schumpeter, Business Cycles and Co-evolution 
Abstract:
  In Business Cycles (1939) Schumpeter took up empirical data which had
 been produced by Kondratieff, and made the &#x201c;clustering&#x201d; of
 innovations into the actual cause of long economic cycles. The book was a
 failure, largely due to negative reviews which stressed the poor quality
 of its statistical analysis. In fact, an even more serious fault in it is
 its reflection of a near-total blind spot in Schumpeter's perspective
 about the part played by law in economic life. He thought that &#x201c;It
 is entirely immaterial whether or not [changes in the institutional
 framework] are embodied in, or recognized by, legislation.&#x201d; The
 reality is that the concept of co-evolution of technology and ways of
 doing business, on the one hand, and legal changes which affect the
 conditions for investment in them, on the other, explain long cycles much
 more persuasively than Schumpeter's approach. It suggests that the first
 Kondratieff cycle was made possible by the availability of
 &#x201c;full&#x201d; property rights, the second by general limited
 liability law (which Schumpeter thought was &#x201c;of comparatively small
 importance&#x201d;) and the third by new patent legislation which made
 corporate investment in R&D attractive. Schumpeter only discussed three
 cycles, but a co-evolutionary perspective makes it possible to envisage a
 fourth cycle as dependent upon the trademark laws which sustain
 advertising and mass markets, and a fifth one, in which the entertainment
 and information industries have been similarly underwritten by copyright
 law. The most plausible reason why Schumpeter undervalued laws was his
 attraction to the economic interpretation of history. According to this,
 laws, like ideas, are no more than reflections on a psychic level of
 social and economic realities, and have little or no power to shape these.
 For Keynes, in contrast, &#x201c;it is ideas, not vested interests, that
 are dangerous for good or ill&#x201d;. There was consequently no place for
 co-evolution in Schumpeter's thought. But what made him publish a book
 which he described as &#x201c;a house which is not finished and
 furnished&#x201d;, when he did? It could be that the stimulus was evidence
 of the huge fame which Keynes's General Theory was already winning.

Title: The Limits of Schumpeter's Business Cycles 
Abstract:
  Schumpeter designed Business Cycles as his major work, but it has never
 received much attention. The problem is partly related to its complex
 treatment of the theory of waveform economic evolution and the related
 study of the statistics and history of 150 years of capitalist evolution,
 but the book also makes a deliberate analytical delimitation: the emphasis
 on economic evolution and the placement of institutional change as an
 external factor. This definition of the task did not allow Schumpeter to
 make a full-blown study of the history of capitalist evolution. To some
 extent, he overcame that problem in Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy,
 but we have to return to the works of his youth to understand his
 conception of the coevolutionary processes of socio-economic life.

Title: Innovation, Uncertainty and Relational Governance 
Abstract:
  What is relational governance (RG)? What problems is it meant to solve?
 Under what conditions is it effective? The question posed by the editors
 of this issue is a welcome occasion for reflection on a widely used but
 multiple meaning concept and on its virtues and limits. In particular, I
 shall address the question of what properties RG precisely has in
 governing innovation. Answering this question leads to distinguishing four
 types of RG with different capacities of dealing with uncertainty.

Title: The Boundaries of the Firm&#x2014;A Question of Interpretation? 
Abstract:
  The boundaries of a firm determine the range of authority of the managers
 of the firm and of any outsiders who interact with the firm. Determining
 where the boundaries lie is even in theory a matter of some debate.
 However, in practice understanding where the boundaries of a firm lie is a
 matter of interpretation and managers need to consider alternative
 interpretations which they and others might make in any specific
 situation.

Title: A Relational Approach to Organization Design 
Abstract:
  The paper criticizes the currently dominant view of organization forms as
 &#x201c;discrete alternatives&#x201d; and &#x201c;coherent&#x201d; set
 attributes, and proposes a more refined and micro-analytic view of
 organization forms as particular combinations of coordination mechanisms
 and rights allocations. This view is relevant for understanding and
 devising &#x201c;new&#x201d; forms and proposing solutions for governing
 the composite and fast changing systems of today. The view is
 &#x201c;relational&#x201d; as it offers a procedure for devising
 &#x201c;superior&#x201d; configurations as combinations&#x2014;relations
 between organizational components&#x2014;in a quasi-continuous space of
 possibilities. The approach is sustained by the quantitative methods of
 network analysis as applied to relations among firm's resources and
 activities. Theoretically, the approach revisits organization design,
 integrating classic organization theory tenets with the new inputs
 provided by organizational economics. Substantively, it is argued that a
 mix of much differentiated coordination mechanisms is usually superior to
 the codified, &#x201c;packaged&#x201d;, allegedly
 &#x201c;coherent&#x201d;, forms of organization. The procedure presented
 in the paper is applied to a field experiment in a medium size firm.1

Title: Innovation, New Market and Governance Choices of Entry: The Internet Brokerage Market Case 
Abstract:
  This paper investigates the case of market entry strategies following the
 introduction of a disruptive innovation. Recognizing that market entry
 strategies have been envisioned in the literature as a discrete
 phenomenon, we develop an empirical framework that portrays these
 strategies as a capability building process. Three organizational modes
 are integrated into our model: acquisition, alliance and market
 transaction. We compare the first two with the third and test the model in
 the setting of the online brokerage industry by using a sample of 897
 moves made by 98 firms between 1994 and 2000. We suggest that firms' entry
 modes can be differentiated along factors specific to market timing as
 well as the degree of specificity of targeted capabilities. Our findings
 show that acquisitions are used to access specific capabilities. This
 means that external sources can be used when firms face a make-or-buy
 decision in the aftermath of technological change. Alliances appear to
 play a limited role while market transactions are widely used. By
 suggesting that entry into a new industry is not a discrete phenomenon,
 our research should open the avenue to additional inquiries on this topic.

Title: Outsourcing Innovative Capabilities for IT-Enabled Services 
Abstract:
  IT-enabled innovations are critical for competitive success in a range of
 industries including financial brokerage. This paper addresses the crucial
 question: How do capability development strategies differ between
 first-movers and late-entrants in IT-enabled services. We develop a theory
 based on two explorative case studies&#x2014;Charles Schwab and Merrill
 Lynch. A comparative analysis reveals that governance choices are
 influenced by a company's attempts to strategically position itself as a
 first- or late-mover in varying technological regimes.

Title: Technology-Enabled Innovation, Industry Transformation and the Emergence of Ambient Organizations 
Abstract:
  Technology-enabled business innovation may present the potential to
 structurally transform traditional industry practice, but uncertainty
 remains as to where and how such transformations might be accomplished. To
 maintain enterprise competitiveness and agility during these times of
 structural change, a frequent suggestion for strategic management is to
 seek loosely coupled partnerships or alliances with best practice
 providers for non-core functions. Original research into the nature of
 alliances in the financial services industry reveals the presence of
 tightly coupled, technology-enabled ventures that deliver core services
 electronically across organizational and industry boundaries. These
 alliances represent an emerging specialized organizational form, the
 virtual or ambient organization. Theoretical and practitioner literature
 provide little reference to ambient organizations, by any name, and
 confuse the terms: alliances, strategic partnerships and virtual
 organizations. Tightly coupled, technology-enabled ambient organizations
 that can cross industry boundaries provide a previously unrecognized
 linkage between organizational form and industry transformation. Analysis
 of four instances of ambient organization in and across three industries
 produces a model of their characteristics and features. Theoretical and
 empirical implications are examined.

Title: The Business Governance of Localized Knowledge: An Information Economics Approach for the Economics of Knowledge 
Abstract:
  Information economics provides important tools to articulate an economics
 analysis of the governance mechanisms for the generation and exploitation
 of localized technological knowledge. A variety of hybrid forms of
 knowledge governance ranging from coordinated transactions and constructed
 interactions to quasi-hierarchies can be found between the two unrealistic
 extremes of pure markets and pure organizations. The notion of localized
 technological knowledge as a highly heterogeneous dynamic process
 characterized by varying levels of appropriability, tacitness,
 unpredictability and indivisibility, which take the forms of
 complementarity and modularity, cumulability, compositeness, fungibility,
 helps to grasp the logic behind the variety of knowledge governance
 mechanisms at work. The analysis of transaction, agency and communication
 costs provides basic guidance to elaborate an integrated framework able to
 understand the matching between types of knowledge and modes and
 mechanisms of knowledge governance both in generation and exploitation.

Title: Exploitation versus Exploration in Market Competition 
Abstract:
  A general simulation model of market competition is developed to explore
 the effectiveness of and interactions between different types of product
 exploration and exploitation strategies, that is, innovation, imitation
 and process improvement. The model, like real markets, is highly
 non-linear such that analytical solutions are not possible. We use
 simulation experiments to examine firm survival and the effectiveness of
 different strategies under different market conditions including
 competitors' strategies, how long it takes for each strategy to bear fruit
 and how costly it is, and the timing, growth and duration of product life
 cycles. The model is implemented on the Internet and provides the basis
 for further experiments to examine the impact of different combinations of
 firm strategies on survival and performance.

Title: Patterns of Innovation in Industrial Districts: An Empirical Analysis 
Abstract:
  Research has proved how the industrial district model can deliver
 sustained economic growth and sustains firms' competitiveness. Studies
 have also shown how spatial proximity helps in the process of knowledge
 generation and diffusion. Indeed, the literature on industrial districts
 since the earliest studies has stressed how districts are
 &#x201c;loci&#x201d; where sustained innovation activity is undertaken.
 However, this innovative dimension of districts' activities has not yet
 been fully explored. Sufficient theoretical background and empirical
 evidence as to whether the peculiar socio-economic characteristics of the
 industrial district model influence firms' innovation performance and the
 way innovation activity is carried out is lacking. The aim of this paper
 is thus to explore the determinants of innovation activities in firms
 located inside and outside industrial districts in the Italian region of
 Lombardy, investigating whether the district provides a favourable
 environment for the development of innovations and identify possible
 competitive advantages.

Title: 'Little Ships': The Co-evolution of Technological Capabilities and Industrial Dynamics in Competing Innovation Networks 
Abstract:
  Recent agenda-setting exercises in the national innovation systems and
 industrial dynamics literatures have highlighted the unresolved
 methodological challenges faced by those seeking to explore the innovation
 process in a co-evolutionary perspective. The paper seeks to contribute to
 this debate by drawing upon the research methods and presentational
 conventions of business historians. The empirical study concerns the
 emergence of radical innovations in the design and manufacture of sailing
 dinghies in mid-20th-century Britain. This period saw the displacement of
 small, highly localized firms engaged in traditional craft practices by a
 new generation of designers, manufacturers and promoters in pursuit of
 volume production. The findings are presented in the form of a historical
 narrative, contrasting the configurations and dynamics of two competing
 innovation networks in this sector. It shows how actors in each network
 drew differently on newly available platform technologies, probes their
 distinctive approaches to design, manufacturing and marketing, and
 assesses their longer-term impact on the sector. The concluding section
 relates the findings to the previously discussed theoretical constructs
 and reflects on the potential contribution of historically informed
 methodologies.

Title: Patterns of Technological Innovation in Knowledge-Intensive Business Services 
Abstract:
  Employing data from a sample of 1,161 small firms, the paper draws broad
 comparisons between patterns of innovation expenditure and output,
 innovation networking, knowledge intensity and competition within
 Knowledge-Intensive Business Services (KIBS; N&#xa0;=&#xa0;563) and
 manufacturing firms (N&#xa0;=&#xa0;598). In so doing, KIBS are further
 disaggregated along lines proposed by Miles et al. (1995). That is, as
 technology-based KIBS (t-KIBS; N&#xa0;=&#xa0;264) and professional KIBS
 (p-KIBS; N&#xa0;=&#xa0;299). However, detailing such broad patterns is
 preliminary. The principal interest of the paper is in identifying the
 factors associated with higher levels of innovativeness, within each
 sector, and the extent to which such &#x201c;success&#x201d; factors vary
 across sectors. The results of the analysis appear to offer support for
 some widely held beliefs about the relative roles of
 &#x201c;softer&#x201d; and &#x201c;harder&#x201d; sources of knowledge and
 technology within services and manufacturing (Tether, 2004). However, some
 important qualifications are also apparent.

Title: University-Industry Interactions: the Case of the UK Biotech Industry 
Abstract:
  This paper's focus is on both the geography of entrepreneurship and on
 industry-collaborative links internationally, nationally and at the local
 level in the UK biotech industry, the world's second largest biotech
 industry. The paper reports on a pilot survey of the UK biotech industry.
 The survey has two goals: to understand the business goals of the firms
 and to examine the relative importance of local conditions to the business
 of biotech. Further evidence on these two themes comes from two studies of
 Oxfordshire, one of the UK's centres of biomedical science and
 biotechnology. The first is a survey of the county's biotech firms. The
 second, of academic spin-offs, demonstrates how the business of biotech in
 the UK is intimately tied to the national innovation system, which in turn
 is dependent upon highly localised elite science which in turn signals to
 world elites that the region is a hot-spot for innovation.

Title: Comparing a Pharmaceutical and an Agro-food Bioregion: On the Importance of Knowledge Bases for Socio-spatial Patterns of Innovation 
Abstract:
  The aim of this paper is to compare the socio-spatial patterns of
 innovation and knowledge linkages of a biopharmaceutical and an agro-food
 biotech cluster. Dissimilarities can be expected based on differences in
 terms of historical technological regimes and sectoral innovation system
 dynamics between the agro-food and pharmaceutical industries in general
 and particularly the distinctive analytical (science-based) knowledge base
 of biopharmaceuticals in contrast with the more synthetic
 (engineering-based) knowledge base of agro-food biotechnology. Drawing on
 bibliometric data and case material the study compares two representative
 bioregions: a biopharmaceutical cluster in Scania, Sweden and an agro-food
 biotech cluster in Saskatoon, Canada. The empirical study supports the
 theoretical expectations and shows that knowledge dynamics in the
 agro-food cluster are more localized than in the biopharmaceuticals
 cluster. It is important, however, to acknowledge that these differences
 are relative. Both sectors display local and non-local patterns of
 collaboration following the general pattern for biotechnology.

Title: Pathways and Policies to (Bio) Pharmaceutical Innovation Systems in Developing Countries 
Abstract:
  Developing countries have traditionally been regarded as users of
 technology developed abroad. During the 1980s and 1990s this approach to
 meeting domestic healthcare needs faced new barriers to consumption and
 use that resulted from the high cost of drugs and the emergence of new
 international trade, investment and intellectual property rules. Attention
 was thus drawn to the possibility of building (bio)pharmaceutical
 innovation systems at home. By examining the experiences of India, Cuba,
 Iran, Taiwan, Egypt and Nigeria, this paper identifies a multiplicity of
 pathways for doing so. Because innovation is embedded in both a policy and
 institutional context, country-specific triggers and drivers of innovation
 processes have been important. None the less, some commonalities do
 appear. Among the more notable triggers were the existence of healthcare
 crises and earlier incentives that had focused the attention of critical
 actors on domestic healthcare problems and stimulated a conscious effort
 by firms to master technology. The interactivity among four types of
 policies&#x2014;those strengthening the knowledge base, stimulating
 capacity building, opening space for local firms and creating incentives
 for innovation were important in shaping the way these triggers were
 perceived and in driving the subsequent innovation process.

Title: Global Bioregions: Knowledge Domains, Capabilities and Innovation System Networks 
Abstract:
  In this paper, regional capabilities and knowledge domain theses are
 proposed and global biotechnology dynamics are analysed. Detailed research
 on Europe's leading bioeconomy, the UK, is presented. Global network
 analysis is performed based on research into collaborations between 'star'
 scientists and their institutes in bioregions at a global scale. This is
 with regard to joint publication of bioscientific articles in US and EU
 Science Citation Index representative and leading cited journals. New
 evidence lies in identifying the hierarchical structure and main network
 axes in the global bioscientific research system. The results show that
 the strongest bioregions are in North America, particularly around Boston,
 San Diego and San Francisco. For collaboration, using this measure, the UK
 is revealed as a strong European research base, as is Sweden. New
 bioregions are found rising in Asia, but many 'global cities' fail to
 appear in the bioregional ranking.

Title: The Corporate Partners of Higher Education Associations: A Social Network Analysis 
Abstract:
  Higher education associations, the nonprofit entities that serve as
 professional development organizations for postsecondary administrators
 and faculty, are sites of university-industry (UI) contact, although these
 organizations are rarely examined in the UI literature. This study
 utilizes social network analysis to discover the indirect connections
 between industry and the academy as seen through sponsorship relations
 between corporations and associations. The findings show that several
 influential North American companies are connected to prominent higher
 education associations, particularly those associations that serve
 'managerial professionals.' These corporate-association ties may be
 pathways for increased market-like behaviors in postsecondary education.

Title: Nascent Innovation Systems in Developing Countries: University Responses to Regional Needs in Thailand 
Abstract:
  Universities are playing a major role in regional innovation by
 interacting directly with regional stakeholders. Up to now there is little
 evidence on responses of universities to regional needs in developing
 countries. This paper applies an adopted framework of nascent regional
 innovation systems in developing countries to a study of the potential
 impacts of five universities in three regions in Thailand. The empirical
 evidence suggests that more systematic approaches toward regional
 university-industry knowledge transfer are still limited by centralized
 national policies, a low sophistication of regional technological needs,
 and institutional barriers within the higher education system. University
 responses to regional needs differ markedly between the Bangkok region and
 two peripheral regional innovation systems.

Title: The External Sourcing of Technological Knowledge by US Pharmaceutical Companies: Strategic Goals and Inter-organizational Relationships 
Abstract:
  This study of the organization of the discovery function by large US
 pharmaceutical companies (LPCs) examines an important knowledge
 acquisition strategy&#x2014;external sourcing of compounds and
 technologies. Through a critical examination of the
 &#x201c;capabilities&#x201d; thesis in strategic management and of the
 theoretical conceptualization in organization studies of innovation
 networks, we undertake an in-depth qualitative analysis of the network
 relationships LPCs establish with biotechnology firms/public research
 laboratories. We additionally examine the motivations and degree of
 strategic intent of R&D managers involved in external knowledge sourcing.
 The paper identifies the tensions and contradictions in network
 relationships and indicates how these lead to changes in knowledge
 sourcing. This qualitative analysis is placed in its industry and
 technology context. This reveals both the pressures towards and the trends
 in external knowledge sourcing, as compared with in-house discovery.
 Extensive interviews with US LPCs and biotechnology firms provide a rare
 glimpse of how some of the most important actors in global innovation
 networks handle a significant new innovation strategy.

Title: What are Innovative Opportunities? 
Abstract:
  To better understand and explain processes of economic transformation,
 this paper proposes a new concept, &#x201c;innovative
 opportunities&#x201d;. Our interpretation of opportunities is based on an
 understanding of innovation in a business context, stressing perception
 and uncertainty during the choices involved in innovation processes. Based
 on Schumpeterian views of economic transformation, innovative
 opportunities refer to a set of different elements within the processes
 whereby actors identify, act upon and realize new combinations of
 resources and market needs to try to benefit from their future economic
 potential. To better understand and explain such processes, the proposed
 conceptualization of &#x201c;innovative opportunities&#x201d; consists of
 three elements: (1) economic value; (2) mobilization of resources; and (3)
 appropriability, which goes beyond existing types of opportunity
 conceptualizations found in the literature. The concluding discussion
 returns to the question of how this view of innovative opportunities
 modifies the existing understanding of innovation activities and
 industrial dynamics, and helps us identify new areas of research.

Title: Developing Biotechnology Clusters in Non-high Technology Regions&#x2014;The Case of Austria 
Abstract:
  This paper explores the role of distant knowledge links and policy
 actions for the development of biotechnology clusters. It seeks to
 challenge the prevailing view that the birth and early development of high
 technology industries are always spontaneous phenomena which are mainly
 based on local knowledge. Departing from the theoretical concept of
 regional innovation systems (RIS), a distinction between &#x201c;RIS with
 strong potentials for high technology industries&#x201d; and &#x201c;RIS
 with weak potentials for high technology industries&#x201d; will be drawn.
 It will be argued that in the latter case the development of biotechnology
 clusters is more dependent on distant knowledge sources and proactive
 policy efforts to create a favourable environment for high technology
 activities. Furthermore, it will be shown that a far-reaching
 transformation of the regional innovation system is crucial for
 catching-up processes of regions which are latecomers in high technology
 sectors such as biotechnology.

Title: Cluster-Based Technology Policy&#x2014;The German Experience 
Abstract:
  The German Federal Government has undertaken a series of particularly
 interesting policy experiments in the field of technology policy in recent
 years, a major policy innovation being the explicit recognition of
 regional clustering aspects in federal support programmes. The paper
 provides a categorization and assessment of these policy experiments and
 tries to shed some new light on two fundamental policy questions that are
 important beyond the German context: (i) can clusters be built by national
 government policy action? and (ii) is regionalization of technology policy
 a suitable means of achieving goals at the national level? We find that
 utilizing the regional level to boost national innovation and
 competitiveness can&#x2014;under certain conditions explicated in the
 paper&#x2014;indeed be seen as a promising means of achieving national
 goals. More specifically, we find that InnoRegio type programmes might be
 particularly useful in regions with distinctive structural problems such
 as the Central and Eastern European countries, whereas BioRegio type
 models might be a suitable means of policy-making at the level of the
 European Union.

Title: National Innovation Systems&#x2014;Analytical Concept and Development Tool 
Abstract:
  The term national system of innovation has been around for more than 20
 years and today it has become widely spread among policy makers as well as
 among scholars all over the world. This paper takes stock and looks ahead
 from a somewhat personal point of view. It also gives some insight into
 how and why the concept came about. The paper argues that a key to
 progress is to get a better understanding of knowledge and learning as the
 basis for innovation and to understand how different modes of innovation
 complement each other and find support in the specific national context. A
 core of the innovation system is defined and it is illustrated that it is
 necessary both to understand micro-behaviour in the core and understand
 &#x201c;the wider setting&#x201d; within which the core operates. Concepts
 used in organization theory referring to fit and misfit may be used to
 enrich the understanding of the performance of innovation systems. At the
 end of the paper I discuss some further developments needed to make the
 concept relevant and applicable to developing countries. Here special
 attention is given to institutions and capabilities supporting learning. I
 point to the need to give more emphasis to the distribution of power, to
 institution building and to the openness of innovation systems.

Title: Knowledge in Regional Economic Growth&#x2014;The Role of Knowledge Accessibility 
Abstract:
  This paper analyzes the role of knowledge in regional economic growth by
 focusing on knowledge accessibility. The research question is the
 following: can the variation in knowledge accessibility between regions in
 a given period explain the variation in growth performance of regions in
 subsequent periods? A main assumption in the paper is that knowledge
 accessibility transforms into potential knowledge flows. Our results show
 that differences in growth of value-added per employee across regions can
 be explained by differences in knowledge accessibility. Intra-municipal
 and intra-regional knowledge accessibilities are significant and capable
 of explaining a significant share of the variation in growth of
 value-added per employee between Swedish municipalities. However,
 inter-regional knowledge accessibility turned out to be insignificant.
 This is interpreted as a clear indication of spatial dependence in the
 sense that the knowledge resources in a given municipality tend to have a
 positive effect on the growth of other municipalities, conditional on that
 the municipalities belong to the same functional region. Thus, the results
 of the analysis indicate that knowledge flows transcend municipal borders,
 but that they tend to be bound within functional regions.

Title: The Regional Dimension of Knowledge Transfers&#x2014;A Behavioral Approach 
Abstract:
  Innovations are inherently connected to knowledge transfers. The need of
 face-to-face contacts to transfer tacit knowledge is commonly argued to
 cause a regional dimension of innovative activities. The paper presents an
 alternative explanation based on a model of boundedly rational actors who
 search for knowledge. It is shown that a regional dimension exists in
 these processes that results from a regional bias in an actor's search
 activities. Social embeddedness, a shared regional identity and limited
 spatial mobility foster this bias. We argue that insights from research on
 these topics can help to define the geographic size of a region.

Title: Knowledge Networks and Innovative Performance in an Industrial District: The Case of a Footwear District in the South of Italy 
Abstract:
  The traditional district literature tends to assume that: (1) the
 competitiveness of firms depends on external sources of knowledge; (2) all
 firms in a district benefit from knowledge externalities; (3) relying on
 external knowledge relationships necessarily means these are confined to
 the district area. Our case study of the Barletta footwear district in the
 South of Italy suggests otherwise. Based on social network analysis, we
 demonstrate that the local knowledge network is quite weak and unevenly
 distributed among the local firms. A strong local network position of a
 firm tended to increase their innovative performance, and so did their
 connectivity to extra-local firms. So, it mattered being connected either
 locally or non-locally: being co-located was surely not enough. Having a
 high absorptive capacity seemed to raise only indirectly, through
 non-local relationships, the innovative performance of firms.

Title: Universities and Innovation in Space 
Abstract:
  We investigate the role of universities as a knowledge source for
 regional innovation processes. The contribution of universities is tested
 on the level of German NUTS-3 regions (Kreise) by using a variety of
 indicators. We find that the intensity and quality of the research
 conducted by the universities have a significant effect on regional
 innovative output while pure size is unimportant. Therefore, a policy that
 wants to promote regional innovation processes by building up universities
 should place substantial emphasis on the intensity and quality of the
 research conducted there. We also find the effects of universities to be
 concentrated in space. Obviously, the geographical proximity to particular
 knowledge sources is important for regional innovative activities.

Title: Science, Social Networks and Spillovers 
Abstract:
  Although prior empirical research has established an association between
 science and the widespread diffusion of knowledge, the exact mechanism(s)
 through which science catalyses information flow remains somewhat
 ambiguous. This paper investigates whether the knowledge diffusion
 associated with science-based innovation stems from the norm of openness
 and incentives for publication, or whether scientists maintain more
 extensive and dispersed social networks that facilitate the dissemination
 of tacit knowledge. Our analysis supports the first mechanism: we track
 the movement of knowledge with patent citations, and find that
 science-based innovations diffuse more rapidly and widely, even after
 controlling for the underlying social networks of researchers as measured
 using information on prior collaborations. We also find that publication
 and social networks act as substitutes in the diffusion of knowledge.

Title: Learning Paths to Offshore Outsourcing: From Cost Reduction to Knowledge Seeking 
Abstract:
  A corporation's offshore outsourcing may be seen as the result of a
 discrete, strategic decision taken in response to an increasing pressure
 from worldwide competition. However, empirical evidence of a
 representative cross-sector sample of international Danish firms indicates
 that offshore sourcing in low-cost countries is best described as a
 learning-by-doing process in which the offshore outsourcing of a
 corporation goes through a sequence of stages towards sourcing for
 innovation. Initially, a corporation's outsourcing is driven by a desire
 for cost minimization. Over a period of time the outsourcing experience
 lessens the cognitive limitations of decision-makers as to the advantages
 that can be achieved through outsourcing in low-cost countries: the
 insourcer/vendor may not only offer cost advantages, but also quality
 improvement and innovation. The quality improvements that offshore
 outsourcing may bring about evoke a realization in the corporation that
 even innovative processes can be outsourced.

Title: Searching Near and Far: Determinants of Innovative Firms' Propensity to Collaborate Across Geographical Distance 
Abstract:
  The paper explores the relation between absorptive capacity and the
 propensity to collaborate across geographical distance. The analysis is
 based on quantitative data from two neighbouring Danish regions on the
 location of the main partner in product-innovation activities. The
 findings indicate that the importance of absorptive capacity in relation
 to collaboration across geographical distance depends on the location of
 the innovative firm. Firms located in the relatively sparsely populated
 region are more likely to collaborate with firms located outside the
 region; and for these firms, the level of absorptive capacity matters for
 the distance to the collaboration partners&#x2014;firms with a low level
 of absorptive capacity tend to collaborate with domestic partners, while
 those with a high level of absorptive capacity are much more likely to
 find their main product-innovation partner abroad.

Title: ICT in Industrial Districts: An Empirical Analysis on Adoption, Use and Impact 
Abstract:
  The aim of this study is to analyse the main determinants of the adoption
 and use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and the
 relationship between ICT and the patterns of innovation in an Italian
 industrial district. The analysis is carried out on a database of 118
 textile enterprises located in Biella, a well-known industrial district
 specialized in medium to high quality woollen yarns and textiles, that
 have been interviewed following a structured questionnaire. On the whole,
 the rate of adoption and use of ICT in Biella is rather low and this
 confirms the results of other studies on industrial districts that are
 specialized in traditional sectors. Nevertheless, our analysis also shows
 that considering ICT as a general technology may be misleading. Instead,
 it is useful to disentangle the different ICT; in particular, there are
 significant differences between IT involving production, administration
 and logistic processes and the communication technologies (CT). Moreover,
 on a smaller sample of 50 firms we have tested the hypothesis that
 adoption and use of ICT may positively influence innovation. In this case,
 we find that different types of innovations, for instance, product,
 process and organizational innovations, are influenced by very different
 variables.

Title: Innovation and Dominant Design in Mobile Telephony 
Abstract:
  We document the evolution of product innovation and features in the
 mobile telephone handset market. We distinguish between two types of
 product innovation: vertical and horizontal innovation. Using data on
 mobile telephone handsets from 1990 to 2003, we study the emergence of a
 dominant design in vertical and horizontal innovations and find that,
 while vertical product characteristics converged to some extent, no
 dominant design emerged. For horizontal product characteristics, some
 horizontal innovations remained differentiated, whereas others were
 adopted in all new handset models, thus forming a dominant design in
 horizontal product features. We explain this pattern using the concept of
 dominant design and results from the theoretical literature on the
 incentives for horizontal and vertical differentiation.

Title: Redefining Firm Competencies, Innovation and Labour Mobility: A Case Study in Telecommunication Services 
Abstract:
  The search amongst large high-technology firms to generate flexible
 competencies has been paralleled by growing interest in establishing
 flexible employment relationships with &#x201c;knowledge workers&#x201d;
 and greater labour mobility as a means of meeting the organization's
 growing diverse strategic requirements. This paper argues that while
 greater labour mobility may well aid greater flexibility, the consequent
 break down of internal labour markets as attractive career options for
 knowledge workers may also lead to the weakening of essential firm
 competencies. The discussion suggests, that rather than relying
 exclusively on labour mobility, large firms involved in innovation
 activity are developing novel employment practices to broaden their scope
 of knowledge while enhancing internal capability.

Title: Hollywood, the Internet and the World: A Geography of Disruptive Innovation 
Abstract:
  During the past decade, the Hollywood studios have broadly sought to
 subdue, rather than explore, the technological possibilities of the
 Internet. Specifically, the studios have used their ownership of creative
 works to control the speed and direction of innovation in an emerging
 digitally networked social and economic environment, which is built upon
 the Internet and an ecology of hardware and software technologies. In this
 paper, I use a relational perspective to examine two critical aspects of
 this case study. The first concerns the cognitive and discursive
 dimensions of firm strategy. The second concerns the formation and
 enactment of firm strategy within networks of social relations. The
 argument is therefore twofold. On the one hand, I argue that the Hollywood
 studios are seeking to create a &#x201c;closed&#x201d; sphere of
 innovation on a global scale, which enables the absolute defence of
 property rights. However, this has alienated a broad spectrum of new
 creative freedoms, causing a &#x201c;bifurcation&#x201d; of the networked
 environment. On the other hand, I argue that this strategic response must
 be understood in relational terms. The closed sphere has been legitimated,
 enacted and performed within relational networks at a regional scale in
 Los Angeles. The paper is based on unprecedented access to the Hollywood
 studios, combined with interviews across the media, entertainment and
 technology industries. The overall goal of the paper is to construct an
 &#x201c;economic geography&#x201d; of disruptive innovation under
 conditions of oligopoly.

Title: The Munich Feature Film Cluster: The Degree of Global Integration and Explanations for its Relative Success 
Abstract:
  In this paper we assess the role that a secondary feature film cluster
 can play in an industrial sector largely dominated by the major Hollywood
 studios. In order to do this we proceed in two steps. We first evaluate as
 to how Munich-based firms are integrated into the production,
 distribution, financing and technological development of globally
 successful feature films. Then we investigate the factors that explain the
 relative economic success of this regional industry. Here we argue that
 major corporate actors that established a core group within the cluster
 have turned the industry towards specialized niche products and have been
 significantly supported by public policy measures.

Title: Cultural Clusters, Global-Local Linkages and Spillovers: Theoretical and Empirical Insights from an Exploratory Study of Toronto's Film Cluster 
Abstract:
  This paper discusses the importance of global-local linkages for the
 development of indigenous production in cultural clusters by analyzing the
 interplay between the indigenous film production cluster in Toronto,
 Canada, and Hollywood's runaway productions. Global-local linkages are at
 the forefront of the current debate in cluster studies, the discussion has
 so far had only a limited impact on the research on cultural clusters. The
 paper identifies the limitations to the dominant cluster models to explain
 the difficulties for Toronto to develop its indigenous cultural cluster.
 The inclusion of the global linkages in the analysis of the Toronto film
 cluster provides a new insight into the current development potentials and
 barriers faced by the indigenous film industry.

Title: Finance, Policy and Industrial Dynamics&#x2014;The Rise of Co-productions in the Film Industry 
Abstract:
  This paper explores the growing phenomenon of international
 co-productions in the film industry. We argue that the rise of
 co-productions is part of a wider narrative of financial and institutional
 innovation shaping industrial organization in the film industry. This
 narrative centres on film finance as a central risk distribution
 mechanism, and discusses how changes in film support policy, increased tax
 competition, the search for finance and an abundance of inflowing capital
 are increasingly driving industrial dynamics in the film industry.

Title: On the Shoulders of Giants: Co-location with Dominant Firms in the Emerging Fiber Optics Industry 
Abstract:
  In this study we investigate the location choices of start-ups and
 established firms relative to dominant firms in the US fiber optics
 industry from 1976 to 1994. We test the propensity to co-locate with
 dominant firms and whether proximity to a dominant firm impacts the
 strategic choices made by start-ups and established firms. Contrary to our
 predictions, we find that both start-ups and established firms are equally
 likely to co-locate with dominant firms. We also find that start-ups
 exhibit greater new product adoption rates and greater product-line
 breadth than established firms. This implies that start-ups are relatively
 more likely to realize greater strategic gains with entry into emerging
 markets.

Title: Open Source Software, Competition and Innovation 
Abstract:
  The entry and success of open source software (OSS), for example, Linux's
 entry into the operating systems market, has fundamentally changed
 industry structures in the software business. In this paper we explore the
 process of OSS innovation and highlight the impact of increased
 competition and different cost structures on innovative activity in the
 industry, which has been neglected in the literature thus far. In a simple
 model, we formalize the innovation impact of OSS entry by examining a
 change in market structure from monopoly to duopoly under the assumption
 that software producers compete in technology rather than price or
 quantities. The model takes into account development costs and total cost
 of ownership, whereby the latter captures items such as network
 externalities. The paper identifies a pro-innovative effect of both
 intra-OSS and extra-OSS competition.

Title: External Linkages, R&D and Innovation Performance in US Business Services 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the innovation performance of 206 US business
 services firms. Results suggest that external linkages, particularly with
 customers, suppliers and strategic alliances, significantly enhance
 innovation performance in terms of the introduction of new services. A
 highly qualified workforce increases the probability of service and
 organizational innovation, and increases the extent of a firm's
 innovation, but unqualified employees also play an important role.
 Contrasting with some earlier research on services, the presence of formal
 and informal R&D significantly increases the extent of new-to-market and
 new-to-firm innovation.

Title: Are You Experienced? Prior Experience and the Survival of New Organizations 
Abstract:
  This paper investigates the relationship between the level of pre-entry
 experience of managers and founders, and the survival of their new firms.
 Using a comprehensive dataset covering the entire Danish labor market from
 1980 to 2000, we are able to trace prior activities of all employees
 working in all Danish start-ups with at least one employee. We examine
 whether spin-offs from surviving parents, spin-offs from exiting parents
 or other start-ups are more likely to survive. Moreover, we investigate
 whether firms managed and founded by teams with higher levels of
 industry-specific experience have a higher chance of surviving. We find
 that spin-offs from a surviving parent and to a lesser degree
 industry-specific experience positively affects the likelihood of
 survival. We also find that spin-offs from a parent that exits are less
 likely to survive than either spin-offs from surviving parents or other
 start-ups.

Title: Rents, Rights N'Rhythm: Cooperation, Conflict and Capabilities in the Music Industry 
Abstract:
  The need for better informed copyright policy and management is a huge
 problem because of the enormous and growing size and scope of the creative
 industries. In this paper we challenge the prevailing thinking dominating
 the theoretical literature on the economics of copyrights. By integrating
 the very real effect of cooperation (strategic interaction and creative
 interdependence) and conflict (asymmetric relationships in terms of
 interests, financial dominance, power and capabilities) throughout the
 economic system in generating value and appropriating rent from music
 copyrights, we argue how prevailing theory on copyright can be improved by
 integrating it into a framework of New Institutional Economics. Focus is
 on the interplay between (i) the &#x201c;institutional environment&#x201d;
 (or &#x201c;rules of the game&#x201d;) with respect to the regulation of
 copyrights underpinned by the economic rationales; and (ii) the
 &#x201c;institutions of governance&#x201d; (or the &#x201c;play of the
 game&#x201d;) with respect to the specific institutional mechanisms in
 organizing the creation and distribution of value and revenue from music
 copyrights, and with respect to royalty management.

Title: The Recent Growth Performance of US Firms in the Industrial Design Sector: An Exploratory Study 
Abstract:
  This paper assesses the competitive factors associated with company
 growth in the US industrial design sector. This small but technologically
 advanced sector delivers critical innovation inputs to firms that produce
 durable goods. Evidence from a survey of 85 US design companies suggests
 that competitive success hinges upon service diversity. Specifically, the
 most commercially buoyant companies have diversified their service
 offerings beyond product or component design. These firms have developed
 strategic competencies in fields such as contract research, prototype
 development, product testing, technological forecasting, market analysis
 and even advertising. Although most US design companies are
 small-to-medium-sized enterprises, successful firms do not differ from
 their less successful counterparts in terms of employment size,
 occupational structure, regional location or market focus (client
 sectors). Instead, the key differences lie in service diversity and the
 quality of human capital. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of
 the implications of the empirical findings for future research on the
 dynamics of the design industry.

Title: &#x201c;Low-Tech&#x201d; Innovations 
Abstract:
  This paper is about an industrial sector which, according to the usual
 socio-scientific indicators, is referred to as &#x201c;low-tech&#x201d;,
 respectively as non-research intensive and which mostly comprises
 &#x201c;traditional&#x201d; industries. The interest in this sector is
 motivated by the contradictory situation that, on the one hand, the debate
 about the perspectives of modern societies focuses on the rapidly growing
 importance of technological innovations, knowledge and research-intensive
 economic sectors while, on the other hand, traditional industries make up
 a considerable fraction of employment and production, especially also in
 developed economies. On the basis of the results of extensive empirical
 research, this contribution tries to find answers to the basic question,
 whether one can speak of an innovation mode typical of the low-tech
 sector. The institutional based innovation systems approach forms the
 categorical basis of the analysis. In order to elucidate the specific
 features of low-tech innovations, they are, in conclusion, compared to the
 general characteristics of high-tech-based innovation processes.

Title: The Institutional Arrangements of Innovation: Antecedents and Performance Effects of Trust in High-Tech Alliances 
Abstract:
  In this study we investigate the institutional arrangements of innovation
 processes in high-tech alliances, focusing on the role of trust. A major
 strength of the research is the opportunity to address antecedents as well
 as performance effects of trust. The antecedents of interorganizational
 trust include a shared past, detailed interfirm contracts, relational
 openness and mutual dependence. We control for the size and cooperative
 culture of the focal firm and the knowledge value of the partner firm.
 Data from a field study of 391 Dutch firms in high-tech industries
 generally support the research model. The results provide convincing
 evidence to support the value of interorganizational trust in durable
 business relationships that strive for the development of new
 technological knowledge.

Title: Innovation Dynamics in Catch-Up Firms: Process, Product and Proprietary Capabilities for Development 
Abstract:
  This paper analyses how firms organize for industrial innovation where
 they are significantly below being globally competitive. It investigates
 the dynamics by which catch-up firms in developing countries (DCs) go
 beyond the boundaries assigned to them by their national environments and
 by the world's leading technology-driven firms. The paper analyses cases
 of how a range of successful firms managed to break these boundaries to
 increase competitiveness through innovation. Our key argument concerns the
 innovation dynamics of catch-up firms. We argue that aspirant firms
 approach the frontier differently to leaders. We construct and use a tool,
 based on resource-based theory, to map the alternative approaches taken by
 firms to develop new capabilities. It focuses on the relationship between
 process and product innovation and the nature of proprietary competencies.
 This allows the development of approaches to build strategies for
 innovation in DC catch-up firms and thereby transform development
 dynamics.

Title: Exploitative and Explorative Learning as a Response to the TRIPS Agreement in Indian Pharmaceutical Firms 
Abstract:
  The intellectual property regime forms an important part of any
 government's economic and industrial policies. It is an important
 regulatory instrument not only affecting industry and market structure but
 also influencing firm-level learning strategies, especially in
 knowledge-based industries like pharmaceuticals. Given its crucial role,
 the strengthening of patent laws as a result of the Trade Related
 Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreement presents a significant
 institutional change for developing country industry. This paper analyses
 Indian pharmaceutical firms' strategic response to the strengthening of
 patent law. The research in this paper shows that Indian pharmaceutical
 firms responded to anticipated disruptive regulatory change by developing
 competencies incrementally as well as radically. Ambidextrous capability
 development involved explorative investment in R&D to develop innovative
 product R&D competencies and in parallel also involved exploitative use of
 existing process R&D capabilities. This ambidextrous capability
 development has enabled Indian pharmaceutical firms to survive and compete
 with multinational corporation (MNC) pharmaceutical firms, showing other
 catch-up firms a different path of capability development.

Title: Of Hackers and Hairdressers: Modularity and the Organizational Economics of Open-source Collaboration 
Abstract:
  Using the idea of modularity, we study the general phenomenon of
 open-source collaboration, which includes such things as collective
 invention and open science in addition to open-source software production.
 We argue that open-source collaboration coordinates the division of labor
 through the exchange of effort rather than of products: suppliers of
 effort self-identify in the same way as suppliers of products in a market
 rather than accepting assignments like employees in a firm. We suggest
 that open-source software (and other) projects are neither bazaars nor
 cathedrals, but hybrids manifesting both voluntary production and
 conscious planning.

Title: The Role of Participation Architecture in Growing Sponsored Open Source Communities 
Abstract:
  Most research on open source software communities has focused on those
 that are community founded. More recently, firms have founded their own
 open source communities. How do sponsored open source communities differ
 from their autonomous counterparts? With comparative examination of 12
 open source projects initiated by corporate sponsors, we identify three
 design parameters that together help form a participation
 architecture&#x2014;the opportunity structure extended to potential
 external contributors. In exploring sponsors' community design decisions,
 we found that sponsored open source projects were more likely to offer
 transparency than they were accessibility and that this had implications
 for their communities' growth. We contribute theoretical constructs that
 offer a common basis of comparison for the future study of open source
 projects and illustrate how the tension between control and growth affects
 open source community design and creation.

Title: Keep it Simple: A Companion for Simple Wikipedia? 
Abstract:
  In this paper, we inquire about some of the ways in which the community
 around Simple Wikipedia&#x2014;an offspring of Wikipedia, the notorious
 free online encyclopedia&#x2014;manages the online collaborative
 production of reliable knowledge. We focus on how it keeps its collection
 of articles &#x201c;simple&#x201d; and easy to read. We find that the
 labeling of pages as &#x201c;unsimple&#x201d; by core members of the
 community plays a significant but seemingly insufficient role. We suggest
 that the nature of this mode of decentralized knowledge production and the
 structure of Wiki-technology might call for the implementation of an
 editorial companion to the community.

Title: Communities of Consumption and Made in Italy 
Abstract:
  The interest towards the role of user communities in innovation has grown
 among scholars and practitioners. Research has explored the role of
 communities in high-tech and medium-tech industries with a focus on
 innovation in the functional dimension of products. Less attention has
 been devoted to user communities' contribution in industries such as
 fashion, where innovation is much more related to communication and
 aesthetics. This paper provides a preliminary set of concepts and working
 hypotheses regarding the contribution of communities to the non-functional
 dimension of product innovation in low-tech industries and to the
 relationship between user involvement in brand communities and their
 incentives to contribute to innovation both tangible and intangible. The
 paper discusses two case studies of Made in Italy enterprises that refer
 to communities for their innovation strategies.

Title: Leveraging Lead User Knowledge in Software Development&#x2014;The Case of Weblog Technology 
Abstract:
  Firms increasingly rely upon information technology (IT) to manage
 organizational knowledge, though this does not inevitably result in
 increased knowledge sharing. In contrast, we know that in the case of
 non-commercial open software development, IT plays a central role in
 knowledge sharing between software developers. This paper acknowledges the
 impact of a blogosphere&#x2014;a system of connected weblogs (i.e.
 personalized and informal publications on the Internet in reverse
 chronological order)&#x2014;on the motivation of lead users to develop
 commercial software together with the employees of a large for-profit
 organization. On the basis of multi-method data, collected over a 28-month
 period, our results indicate parallels to the field of open source
 software: we argue that weblog technology and its features evoke intrinsic
 and extrinsic motivation to engage in knowledge sharing within a
 commercial software development project.

Title: Getting Clear About Communities in Open Innovation 
Abstract:
  Research on open source software, user innovation and open innovation
 have increasingly emphasized the role of communities in creating, shaping
 and disseminating innovations. However, the comparability of such studies
 has been hampered by the lack of a precise definition of the community
 construct. In this paper we review prior definitions (implicit and
 explicit) of the community construct, and other suggestions for future
 research.

Title: The Role of Time in Assessing the Economic Effects of R&D 
Abstract:
  This study investigates the impacts of R&D on firm performance. It
 extends previous research by constructing alternative stocks of
 R&D-Capital that take into account that time plays an important role in
 assessing the pay-off of industrial research. The results show that even
 when we employed R&D-Capitals that placed more emphasis on the industrial
 research that had been undertaken 7 years ago, the effects of R&D were
 very (statistically) significant and relatively high, thereby suggesting
 that the life of R&D (on average) tends to be long. The results however,
 vary across organizations depending on both firm size and the
 technological opportunities that a company faces. It appears that the
 depreciation rate of R&D investments is higher in the case of
 technologically sophisticated firms. In contrast, strategic investments in
 industrial research generate a relatively constant effect on the
 performance of other firms, supporting the notion that the corresponding
 returns for such firms decay slowly.

Title: Specialization of Regions and Universities: The New Versus the Old 
Abstract:
  This paper analyzes whether there is a correspondence between a
 university's research specialization and industrial specialization in the
 region hosting the university, and to what extent universities influence
 regional productivity. Moreover, the analysis seeks to answer if a
 difference can be detected between the influences of old and new
 universities on regional performance. To achieve this end we utilize a
 unique data set on spatially disaggregated data for Sweden in the period
 1975-99. A two-step Heckman regression analysis is implemented to examine
 whether universities' research specialization matches regional
 specialization in production as compared to the average region. The
 results suggest a correspondence in specialization, as well as positive
 productivity effects. However, there are also considerable differences
 across regions, albeit primarily unrelated to the age of the universities.

Title: Configuring Capabilities for Integrated Solutions: Evidence from the IT Sector 
Abstract:
  This paper investigates the way that firms' environmental context and
 organizational structure influence their strategic choices and lead to
 different capabilities configurations. Drawing on contingency theory and
 the resource-based view, we explore integrated solutions&#x2014;an
 emerging business model in which firms bundle products and
 services&#x2014;in the IT sector, which is a particularly appropriate
 context due to its novelty, high-technology characteristics and
 implications for capabilities development. This study contributes to
 research and practice by identifying how organizational and
 environmental/market factors co-evolve with firms' strategy and how firms'
 distinct strategic decisions lead to differences in capabilities
 configurations.

Title: Interactive Learning or Technology Transfer as a Way to Catch-Up? Analysing the Wind Energy Industry in Denmark and India 
Abstract:
  This paper uses sectoral systems of innovation framework to examine the
 relationship between technology policy and industrial development by
 comparing the emergence of the wind energy industry in Denmark and India.
 Since the late 1970s Denmark has led the development of a global wind
 energy industry and in 2004 wind energy supplied 18.8 per cent of
 Denmark's electricity consumption. India was however a late entrant that
 managed in a few years to establish itself as the fifth largest producer
 of wind energy in the world. We suggest that India's unique policy of
 &#x201c;interactive learning&#x201d; with international and especially
 Danish actors, instead of imitation of foreign technology policies and
 institutions, was a substantial contributor to India's success in
 developing their wind energy industry.

Title: Innovation Clusters in Technological Systems: A Network Analysis of 15 OECD Countries for the Mid-1990s 
Abstract:
  The paper aims to investigate how innovations cluster in different
 technological systems (TSs) when their &#x201c;techno-economic&#x201d;,
 rather than &#x201c;territorial&#x201d; space, is considered. Innovation
 clusters of economic sectors are identified by referring to the innovation
 &#x201c;potential&#x201d; represented by their R&D expenditure and by
 applying social network analysis to the intersectoral R&D flows matrices
 of 15 OECD countries in the mid-1990s. Different clusterization models are
 first tested in order to detect the way sectors group on the basis of the
 embodied R&D flows they exchange. Actual clusters are then mapped in the
 different TSs by looking for intersectoral relationships which can be
 qualified to constitute &#x201c;reduced TSs&#x201d; (ReTSs). In all the 15
 TSs investigated the techno-economic space appears organized in
 hierarchies, along which its constitutive sectors grouped into clusters
 with different density and composition. Once ReTSs are looked for, the 15
 TSs display highly heterogeneous structures, but with some interesting
 similarity on the basis of which different clusters of TSs can be
 identified in turn.

Title: To What Extent do Sectors &#x201c;Socialize&#x201d; Innovation Differently? Mapping Cooperative Linkages in Knowledge-Intensive Industries in the Ottawa Region 
Abstract:
  This paper investigates the relative significance of local vs. distant
 forms of cooperation and knowledge sourcing in different
 knowledge-intensive sectors of the Ottawa region. Based on a recently
 completed survey of 172 firms, we address specifically the respective
 contribution of local, national and international cooperation in supplying
 firms with ideas, information and knowledge. Explanations for different
 collaborative patterns between high- and medium-tech manufacturing firms
 and knowledge-intensive business services are drawn out.

Title: Complementarities Affecting the Returns to Innovation 
Abstract:
  The purpose of this paper is to determine which firm strategies,
 perceived benefits of innovation and objectives for innovating in various
 manufacturing industries are indeed complementary with innovation. The
 test for complementarity is performed by proving that the data satisfies a
 set of supermodularity parametric equation restrictions. Our estimation
 results, from Canada's national innovation survey, show a wide variation
 in complements affecting the perception of the value of innovation to a
 firm. In terms of profit, complementary variable pairs for world-first
 innovators exceed those of firms who report a Canada-first or firm-first
 innovation. With labour productivity, complementary variable pairs for the
 Canada-first innovators exceed those of the world- and firm-first
 innovators. It is readily apparent though, that a high-technology industry
 does not necessarily equate to a high degree of complementarity.

Title: Innovative Output, Productivity and Profitability. A Test Comparing USPTO and EPO Data 
Abstract:
  The aim of this paper is to test whether patent-based indicators are
 still reliable measures of innovativeness in light of organizational
 changes in the field of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection and
 the regulatory reforms already occurred and under way, respectively, at
 the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the European Patent Office
 (EPO). For most high-tech industries, patents represent an outcome of the
 production process and their number can be taken as a proxy for a firm's
 ability to improve its productivity growth and profitability. The case
 study reported here concerns the biotechnology industry in Italy, whose
 firms, by definition, have Intellectual Property (IP) activities in their
 portfolios. For this purpose, we use a unique dataset which collects
 balance sheet items and patent information from EPO and USPTO. After
 linking firms' financial and production data with the patent information,
 we estimate a modified knowledge production function in which the
 dependent variable is alternatively (labor) productivity growth and
 profitability. Although based on a quite small sample, our findings
 provide some indication of a statistically significant relationship
 between patents with the EPO and both productivity growth and, in
 particular, profitability. This suggests that firms might pursue different
 strategies when patenting with the USPTO and the EPO.

Title: Systems, Components and Technological Discontinuities: The Case of the Semiconductor Industry 
Abstract:
  This paper uses the semiconductor industry to describe a model of
 technological change that sheds light on the mechanism by which many
 technological discontinuities occur. The model combines two arguments: (1)
 incremental improvements in a system's components impact on the
 performance and design of systems; and (2) these incremental improvements
 in components can lead to discontinuities in system design through their
 impact on the design tradeoffs that are inherent in all systems.
 Components are defined loosely as any subsystem in a nested hierarchy of
 subsystems where the most important component in the semiconductor
 industry is semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Improvements in this
 equipment and the processes they are used in have changed (and continue to
 change) the tradeoffs that firms make in their choices of semiconductor
 materials, transistor designs and system designs, and thus led to a number
 of technological discontinuities. The model is described using the
 discontinuities that are the most widely emphasized in histories of the
 semiconductor industry.

Title: The Evolution of Network Industries: Lessons from the Conquest of the Online Frontier, 1979-95 
Abstract:
  In this paper we dissect the competitive dynamics of a network industry
 that has not been systematically studied in the past&#x2014;the
 consumer-oriented online networks of the pre-1995 era. After briefly
 reconstructing the historical evolution of the industry we focus on a
 number of issues at the intersection of theory and data: the importance of
 direct and indirect network effects, tipping to a dominant player and the
 entry strategies adopted by two different waves of entrants. We also
 analyse price wars and the displacement of the leader in the first half of
 the 1990s. In the final section we focus on some remaining puzzles that
 suggest directions for further theoretical and empirical research.

Title: Consumer Co-creation and Situated Creativity 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the industrial dynamics of new digital media from the
 perspective of consumer co-creation. We find that consumer-producer
 interactions are an increasingly important source of value-creation. We
 conclude that cultural and economic analysis might be usefully united
 about these themes, and that situated creativity should be construed as
 analysis of an ongoing co-evolutionary process between economic and
 cultural dynamics.

Title: From Fashion to Design: Creative Networks in Industrial Districts 
Abstract:
  Creative industries enjoy a great deal of attention in Western economies
 these days. Creative industries can be identified in sectors producing new
 artistic artefacts, such as those occurring in the film industry, or in
 the performing arts, etc., or in the manufacturing and service sectors,
 where the implementation of novelties is at the heart of the productive
 capabilities of firms. Post-modern consumption is strongly characterized
 by fashion, because it assists the fragmentation and an
 &#x201c;aestheticization&#x201d; of daily life. Fashion goods become
 symbolic relational goods, status symbols, means of communication of
 identity and aesthetic satisfaction. Our research topics concern: firstly,
 a theoretical discussion on the evolution of fashion, which has moved from
 a top-down model (as envisaged by the class-conscious approach of Simmel)
 to a bottom-up model, as described in the post-modernist approach by
 Lipovetsky; secondly, a theoretical reflection on the business model
 adopted by firms to deal with the issue of designing new products, which
 is often related to the building of external-to-the-firm creative
 networks; thirdly, a theoretical discussion on the model of an industrial
 district, seen here as an efficient organizational tool very efficient to
 deal with the circulation and external absorption of knowledge and fashion
 trend information. District firms, using a multiplicity of fashion
 sources, are able to increase their probability of selecting the winning
 fashion trends, and to reduce their probability of
 &#x201c;not-knowing&#x201d; the winning fashion trends. We present some
 empirical evidence showing that a complex governance of several fashion
 sources is required to intercept fashion trends. Fashion emerges in a
 chaotic environment, as a bottom-up recursive process, partially
 controlled by fashion firms that scan external information sources and
 build some interpretative/creative capability developed together with
 external-to-the-firm agents. Our work uses some empirical data collected
 through a survey based in the industrial district of Montebelluna,
 localized in northern Italy, in Treviso. In Montebelluna, several
 important international producers of sport shoes and sport items are
 located. Qualitative interviews were conducted during 2004-2005 involving

Title: Interpersonal and Inter-organizational Networks in the Performing Arts: The Case of Project-Based Organizations in the Live Music Industry 
Abstract:
  The main aim of the paper is to contribute to the literature on
 project-based organizations (PBOs), concerning how temporary organizations
 are nested in an organizational setting that involves interpersonal and
 inter-organizational networks. Special attention is paid to the performing
 arts. A PBO is defined here as an organization that uses a one-shot method
 of organizing transactions, created by the ability of a permanent
 organization to design an organizational setting using the existing social
 and productive net. This may be considered a latent, informal network,
 based on reputation-driven interpersonal relationships. The paper also
 attempts to explore the relationship between the organizational
 capabilities to deploy latent networks and their economic performance. The
 empirical context is live music performances in the Veneto region. The
 analysis relates to the population of singers who have worked with an
 organization at least once in 2003, performing at an artistic event within
 this region. Using statistical techniques and network analysis tools, the
 analysis reveals the existence of a network of creativity, where the
 ability of the organizations to deploy latent networks supports their
 economic performance.

Title: Cultural Events as Potential Drivers of Urban Regeneration: An Empirical Illustration 
Abstract:
  In this paper the relational dimension of cultural production is
 explored, with explicit attention to the impact of cultural events on
 networks and creativity in local contexts. Three qualitative empirical
 cases are produced, showing that networks have a crucial importance in
 sustaining spatial proximity-based creativity. Three models of local
 cultural events are identified and valued qualitatively in terms of their
 impact on local creativity, concluding that the value of an event in its
 territory is dependent on the organizational frame of the specific event.
 In particular, the bottom-up network-based model appears to be able to
 favour local activation and creativity spanning, thereby leveraging local
 resources.

Title: Berlin's Creative Industries: Governing Creativity? 
Abstract:
  This paper aims at discussing the issue of governing creativity
 exemplifying the case of Berlin. Berlin has a fast growing creative
 industry that has become the object of the city's development policies and
 place marketing. The core question is: What are the spatial-organizational
 driving forces of creativity in Berlin&#x2014;can they be steered by
 public administration? The point of departure of this paper is the four
 &#x201c;paradoxes of creativity&#x201d; formulated by DeFillippi, Grabher
 and Jones in 2007 that describe organizational dilemmas linked to
 epistemological problems of the study of creativity. For our analyses, we
 refer to and make use of the various existing databases and recent studies
 on Berlin's creative industries, in particular the attempts of the Berlin
 Senate to assess the economic contribution of creative industries. We will
 show the potential for self-organization&#x2014;and thus
 self-governance&#x2014;of creativity and creative industries in Berlin.
 This potential is linked to the activities of communities of practice that
 make use of Berlin's specific urban fabric. The &#x201c;paradoxes of
 creativity&#x201d; that have become obvious in the case of Berlin's
 creative industries concern, for instance, the tension between the
 autonomy of creative production, on the one hand, and the necessities of
 professionalization on the other. The local communities of
 practice&#x2014;of which most of Berlin's creative industries are
 made&#x2014;serve both as quality evaluation circles and drivers of
 creativity and innovation.

Title: Do Creative Industries Cluster? Mapping Creative Local Production Systems in Italy and Spain 
Abstract:
  An important debate on the role of creativity and culture as factors in
 local economic development is distinctly emerging. Despite the emphasis
 put on the theoretical definition of these concepts, it is necessary to
 strengthen comparative research for the identification and analysis of the
 kind of creativity embedded in a given territory. Creative local
 production systems are identified, in Italy and Spain, that depart from
 local labour markets as territorial units and focus on two different kinds
 of creative industries: traditional cultural industries (publishing,
 music, architecture and engineering, performing arts) and
 technology-related creative industries (R&D, ICT, advertising). The
 results show a concentration of creative industries in the largest urban
 systems, although different patterns of concentration of creative
 industries are revealed between the two countries.

Title: Network Evolution in Cultural Industries 
Abstract:
  Most of the research on social networks in cultural industries has taken
 an actor-centered perspective on individuals and organizations, often
 based on the (implicit) assumption of relative stability in actor
 attributes and relationships. This poses problems for an understanding of
 networks in a cultural context that is characterized by spontaneity,
 variation, and disequilibrium. To give more credit to processes related to
 &#x201c;doing creative work&#x201d;, I propose an evolutionary framework
 that focuses on ideas as the unit of analysis and draws attention to the
 dynamic distribution of ideas in an environment where ideas compete for
 human attention.

Title: Systems of Innovation and Industry Evolution: The Case of Retail Banking in the UK 
Abstract:
  This paper presents a longitudinal study on the evolution of the retail
 banking sector in the UK following the adoption of automated payments in
 the 1970s. The analysis is cast in the context of innovation studies and
 articulates how changing configurations of the knowledge base combined
 with the emergence and adaptation of institutional structures stirred a
 paradigm of service innovation in an information-intensive industry like
 banking. The cases of the Automated Teller Machine (ATM) and of the
 Electronic Fund Transfer at Point of Sale (EFTPOS) provide evidence on the
 subtleties of a dual evolutionary process underpinning the development of
 a system of innovation: the growing ecology of actors and the emergence of
 new forms of coordination across them.

Title: Break on Through: Sources and Determinants of Product and Process Innovation among UK Construction Firms 
Abstract:
  While construction is often seen as a low-technology sector, it has
 witnessed substantial changes in practices, processes, technology and
 performance over the past 20 years. Understanding the sources of these
 changes is important for innovation strategy and policy to improve
 performance within the sector, and because it produces the capital
 goods&#x2014;buildings and structures&#x2014;to enable other sectors to
 develop. Logistic regression is applied to data from the UK Innovation
 Survey to examine sources of product and process innovation among
 construction firms. Results show that working with customers, suppliers
 and having a broad market orientation can help construction firms break
 through the confines of their particular industrial context. The paper
 concludes by exploring implications of these findings for policy and
 theory and by considering questions for further research.

Title: Externally Sourcing Research through Acquisition: Should it Supplement or Substitute for Internal Research? 
Abstract:
  A technology motivated acquirer can use a target's technology to
 supplement or substitute for its own internal research. The impact of the
 extent of integration on post-acquisition performance is further
 complicated by the effects of pre-acquisition research relatedness between
 the target and acquirer. This study determines the integration and
 research relatedness of acquisitions in the US biopharmaceutical industry
 during the 1990s and then examines their impact on profitability. The
 results indicate that related research that supplements (or is integrated
 into) internal research increases post-acquisition profits as does
 unrelated research which substitutes for (or is kept separate from)
 internal research.

Title: How Demand Sophistication (De-)limits Economic Upgrading: Comparing the Film Industries of South Africa and Nigeria (Nollywood) 
Abstract:
  More sophisticated demand is typically seen as an enabler of economic
 upgrading. This study questions this linearity and extends demand theory
 through a case analysis of the film industry in two developing countries.
 When unsophisticated local demand results in well-matched supply- and
 demand-side elements, benefits do accrue. Low exposure to technically
 superior products in Nigeria allowed a fully fledged film value chain to
 develop, as consumers were willing to support lower quality output.
 Although the industry is too weak to seriously threaten incumbents from
 the developed world on the global stage, it has substantial impact in its
 home country. In contrast, if demand is far more sophisticated than
 supply, local industry will struggle to respond to broad-based demand
 signals and will achieve accelerated learning only in niche areas. South
 Africa has become a niche producer in the global film industry rather than
 film producer in its own right partly because the widespread demand for
 Hollywood-quality products could not be met by local supply capabilities.

Title: Combining Resource-Based and Evolutionary Theory to Explain the Genesis of Bio-networks 
Abstract:
  This paper examines new firms creating innovative networks to support
 their development in emerging industries. Resource-based and evolutionary
 theories are combined to explain the genesis of a new business ecosystem.
 Two case studies of biopharm ventures developing drugs against cancer
 showed how participants altered their selection environment as they
 enhanced their network's capability. Resource building took place at the
 firm and network level through collaborative business models involving
 innovative contractors. This approach uncovered previously unnoticed
 features of networks for drug development: resource asynchronies were
 found to be a stimulus to innovation in development networks, as in the
 Penrosean firm.

Title: Do Regional and Non-regional Knowledge Flows Differ? An Empirical Study on Clustered Firms in the Dutch Life Sciences and Computing Services Industry 
Abstract:
  In the literature on innovation and geographical proximity,
 inter-organizational knowledge flows are increasingly acknowledged to take
 place at multiple spatial levels. Furthermore, the knowledge flows within
 and between regions are assumed to have different characteristics. Until
 now, hardly any study has examined those latter assumptions empirically.
 This study aims to provide empirical insights by analysing whether there
 are differences in the characteristics of regional and non-regional
 inter-organizational knowledge flows in the Dutch computing services and
 life sciences industry. The results indeed show significant differences.
 Confirming the assumptions in the literature, regional knowledge flows are
 characterized by a higher number of face-to-face contacts, while the
 knowledge exchanged through non-regional knowledge flows is more valuable.
 The relations between the duration and the social base of the knowledge
 flow and its spatial scale are less straightforward.

Title: Shaken, Not Stirred: The Re-combinatorial Capacity of High-Tech Regions 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the re-combinatorial capacity (RCC) of regional
 high-tech economies. Empirically the paper studies the emergence and
 development of new firms derived in various forms from a downsizing lead
 pharmaceutical firm (Pharmacia). A model is developed conceptualizing RCC
 of regions by the levels of business creation obtained at different levels
 of asset complexity for given levels of decomposition of available
 resources. RCC of Pharmacia's home region (Stockholm-Uppsala) is
 characterized by mapping all 75 new firms derived from Pharmacia onto the
 RCC space, revealing low RCC particularly for resources released from
 Pharmacia in highly decomposed form. Recombinations whereby managers from
 Pharmacia and other related incumbents become founders of new bio drug
 discovery firms (DDFs) come out as particularly scarce when benchmarked
 against the simultaneous emergence of a DDF sector in the otherwise
 comparable Copenhagen region. Venture capital is argued to be a key
 mechanism in RCC affecting high-tech entrepreneurship. We test and confirm
 that compared to their Copenhagen counterpart, DDFs in the
 Stockholm-Uppsala region received much less early stage venture financing
 which therefore provided notable disincentives for re-combinatorial
 manager-to-founder transitions.

Title: Investing in Localized Relationships with Universities: What are the Benefits for R&D Subsidiaries of Multinational Enterprises? 
Abstract:
  In spite of a long-standing interest in the distribution of knowledge
 spillovers from university research, there is only limited theoretical
 understanding of if and when opportunities to interact with a research
 university constitute a significant force of attraction for globally
 mobile investment in R&D. Based on an empirical investigation of the
 benefits of interaction with universities, this paper proposes an
 analytical framework and four ideal types of strategy for localised
 collaboration between R&D subsidiaries and universities. This taxonomy,
 which largely transcends industry sectors, and the illustrative cases
 presented in this paper provide insights into the potential scope for
 localised university-industry interaction from the perspective of
 multinational enterprises. By connecting the empirical results to the
 question whether these benefits are significant enough to enhance a
 region's attractiveness as a location for R&D, we are able to develop a
 better understanding of the alternative strategies for policymakers and
 university leaders interested in stimulating such linkages.

Title: Place, Space and Distance: Towards a Geography of Knowledge-Intensive Business Services Innovation 
Abstract:
  Much has been written about the link between local networks and
 institutions, about place and territory, and the capacity to innovate. In
 this paper we set out to answer two questions, based upon a survey of
 1,122 knowledge-intensive business service (KIBS) firms in the province of
 Quebec, Canada. First, do KIBS firms in different regions display
 different propensities to innovate? If so, this will be taken as prima
 facie evidence that there is some connection between local context and
 innovation. Second, can any regional level explanatory variables be found
 to explain the different levels of regional innovation? We find evidence
 that geographic patterns of innovation exist amongst KIBS firms in Quebec,
 although they are not those expected if there were a connection between
 local territory and innovation. We find that innovation first decreases
 with distance from the core of metropolitan areas, then, after
 30-50&#xa0;km, begins to increase again, though this pattern is not the
 same for all sub-sectors. This pattern is in keeping with recent
 theoretically derived expectations relating to the geography of
 innovation.

Title: Location Attributes and Start-ups in Knowledge-Intensive Business Services 
Abstract:
  This paper examines start-ups in knowledge-intensive business services
 (KIBS) across Swedish regions by individuals with a formally recognized
 capacity to produce and develop advanced business services. The empirical
 analysis focuses on whether their involvement in entrepreneurship may be
 explained by location attributes. As much as 75 percent of the KIBS
 founders have prior work experience from business services, suggesting
 that KIBS start-ups are more frequent in regions where the KIBS sector is
 already large. Controlling for the stock of potential entrepreneurs and
 the stock of KIBS firms, it is shown that variables reflecting both
 supply-side conditions and market size influence KIBS start-up activity.
 Results are consistent with the hypothesis that KIBS entrepreneurship in a
 region is stimulated by the simultaneous presence of (i) knowledge
 resources conducive for the generation and diffusion of knowledge and
 ideas upon which new firms can be established and (ii) a large market.

Title: Promoting Regional Innovation Systems in a Global Context 
Abstract:
  Ever since the innovation systems (IS) concept was coined in the late
 1980s, it has been accepted as a mechanism of economic and technological
 development in policy circles. This recognition follows a change in our
 understanding of the characteristics of the innovation process as a
 non-linear process and having a systemic character. This changed
 understanding is also reflected in the movement in policy focus from
 science and technology (S&T) policy towards innovation policy. In recent
 years, the IS approach has been downscaled from the national level (NIS)
 to the regional level (RIS), a system's level that has gained the interest
 of policy makers. There are many rationales for this regionalization of
 innovation policy. However, as this paper points out, there are several
 challenges to implement an IS policy on the regional level. Based on a
 case study of a Swedish regional policy programme, this paper highlights
 (some of) the challenges related to defining the regional system's domain,
 implementing functional regions and securing sufficient regional knowledge
 infrastructure. This paper argues that when the IS approach is put into
 policy practice and downscaled to the regional level, it stands the risk
 of losing its strength as a tool for coping with the structural problems
 connected to innovation and globalization. Based on the identified
 challenges, the paper is concluded with a number of more general policy
 implications for IS-based policies with regional intentions.

Title: Regional Innovation Measured by Patent Data&#x2014;Does Quality Matter? 
Abstract:
  This paper devises a new way of measuring the geographical scope of
 innovation based on patent data and compares its geographical distribution
 with that of patents granted and production. Indicators of patent quality
 are used to form an index of regional innovation, which is argued to be an
 improvement over patent counts, which are seen as indicators of
 inventions. Innovations are more concentrated than inventions, which in
 turn are more concentrated than production, gauged by employment levels.
 Innovations are, moreover, concentrated to regions with already high
 production and invention levels. This indicates that the concentration of
 innovation is understated, as raw patent counts are used to proxy for
 innovation rather than quality patents. The results further point to the
 need for revaluing effect of R&D on local innovative activity.

Title: The Complementary Dynamic Effects of Clusters and Networks 
Abstract:
  Over the past decades, researchers and policymakers around the world have
 been paying attention to the concept of clusters of related firms,
 industries and institutions, with a view to the presumably positive
 effects of clustering for learning, innovation and the productivity of
 firms. More recently, a network approach to learning and innovation
 emerged, which emphasizes strategic, preferential, repeated and at the
 same time temporary knowledge exchange (i.e. dynamic cooperation) between
 firms and other organizations. This may, however, go at the expense of the
 attention for the important, different and complementary learning effects
 of the mainly spatial process of concentration and clustering of related
 firms, industries and institutions. This paper argues that clusters and
 networks are two separate concepts that both merit attention,
 especially&#x2014;albeit not exclusively&#x2014;with a view to learning,
 knowledge development and innovation. A first argument is that spatial
 clustering has quite different effects for the development of knowledge,
 learning and innovation in and by firms, as compared with network
 settings. A second point is that in some cases, clustering yields a
 governance advantage over networks. Taking into account the risks of
 cognitive, technological, organizational and institutional lock-in
 associated with both processes, this paper concludes that both clustering
 and networking have advantages and disadvantages for the firms involved.
 The two concepts are potential dynamic complements, as clustering and
 networking have different but complementary effects for learning, although
 they are also static substitutes, as firms may opt to switch between the
 two processes, for example, leaving a local or regional cluster to engage
 in a network endeavor at a higher spatial scale.

Title: Sharing Tacit Knowledge Online: A Case Study of e-Learning in Cisco's Network of System Integrator Partner Firms 
Abstract:
  This paper contributes to an ongoing debate about the impact of
 information and communication technologies (ICTs) on the interpersonal
 sharing of tacit knowledge. Drawing upon the philosophical writings of
 Michael Polanyi and an original case study of e-learning in Cisco Systems,
 the paper challenges the widespread argument that ICT-mediated
 communication is inadequate for the sharing of tacit knowledge. The main
 conclusion is that advanced e-learning systems&#x2014;particularly remote
 laboratories&#x2014;make possible efficient sharing of tacit knowledge
 between internationally dispersed technicians. However, successful
 knowledge-sharing depends crucially on the degree to which the users are
 motivated to acquire new knowledge online. Motivation can be facilitated
 through the participation in online networks of practice, but in order to
 access and benefit from these networks people require a certain threshold
 level of technical relevant knowledge, which is the most easily generated
 in local communities of practice.

Title: VoIP Diffusion among New Entrants: A Path Dependent Process 
Abstract:
  The path dependency literature provides insights on the dynamic
 allocation processes in which events are non-ergodic and have multiple
 absorbing states. Technological change belongs to this class of processes.
 This paper contributes to this conceptual framework by analysing the
 distinction between path and past dependence. The aim is to investigate
 how firms implement new innovations in localized technological changes.
 This conceptual framework is developed to present a longitudinal case
 study describing the history of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)
 diffusion using data triangulation. From the empirical findings, it
 emerges that new entrants have applied the technology with creativity,
 following a path dependent process, offering free voice communication,
 while incumbents have applied the technology within a past dependent
 pattern and thus the benefits to their customers have been reduced and
 delayed.

Title: Local Knowledge Spillovers and Development: An Exploration of the Software Cluster in Uruguay 
Abstract:
  The paper contributes to the understanding of the nature of local
 knowledge spillovers and their importance for innovation in clusters in
 developing countries. Using detailed primary data about a cluster of
 software firms in Montevideo, Uruguay, the paper finds plenty of evidence
 of the existence of pure unintentional knowledge spillovers. In addition,
 it supports previous theoretical studies that have contended that there
 are also many knowledge flows that are to some degree produced purposively
 by local parties&#x2014;these flows can be placed somewhere in between
 pure spillovers and pure market transactions. While the respondents
 themselves place most value on knowledge flows that are more or less
 purposively co-produced with customer transactions, a more objective
 statistical analysis shows that good product/service-innovation
 performance is associated with intensive use of flows with more pronounced
 spillover characteristics. The respondents possibly underrate the latter
 because of their invisibility and spontaneous nature. Heavy use of
 knowledge flows lying close to the market-transaction side of the spectrum
 is found to be associated with relatively advanced organizational
 capability, but not with product innovation. Overall, the findings point
 towards the relevance of cluster-based policies to promote innovation in a
 less developed country context. Various policy measures to stimulate the
 local circulation of knowledge are suggested.

Title: Organizing the Innovation Process: Complementarities in Innovation Networking 
Abstract:
  This paper contributes to the developing literature on complementarities
 in organizational design. We test for the existence of complementarities
 in the use of external networking between stages of the innovation process
 in a sample of UK and German manufacturing plants. Our evidence suggests
 some differences between the UK and Germany in terms of the optimal
 combination of innovation activities in which to implement external
 networking. Broadly, there is more evidence of complementarities in the
 case of Germany, with the exception of the product engineering stage. By
 contrast, the UK exhibits generally strong evidence of substitutability in
 external networking in different stages, except between the identification
 of new products and product design and development stages. These findings
 suggest that previous studies indicating strong complementarity between
 internal and external knowledge sources have provided only part of the
 picture of the strategic dilemmas facing firms.

Title: What Really Drives the Adoption of Modular Organizational Forms? An Institutional Perspective from Italian Industry-Level Data 
Abstract:
  While the rise of modular organizational forms is a global phenomenon,
 explicit causal models are currently available only for the US case. To
 date, no study has been conducted outside the USA about what drives firms
 to use modular organizational forms, and why would firms in some
 industries generally rely on more modular organizational forms than firms
 in other industries. Building on Schilling and Steensma's work of 2001, we
 apply general systems modularity theory to the Italian case and explain
 why in some industries there is a greater use of modular organizational
 forms using data from 68 manufacturing industries. The results of our
 regression analysis diverge significantly from the US case showing that,
 in the Italian case, organizational modularity is driven by labor
 intensity, industry specificities and nation-specific factors.

Title: R&D, Value Chain Location and Firm Performance in the Global Electronics Industry 
Abstract:
  In today's global electronics industry, innovation is carried out by
 various value chain participants, including brand-name manufacturers
 (sometimes called lead firms), contract manufacturers and component
 suppliers, but there is little understanding of who benefits most from
 innovation in such networks. This research examines empirically the
 relationship of R&D spending and location in the value chain (lead vs.
 non-lead firms) to firm performance in the global electronics industry by
 using the Electronic Business 300 data set for 2000-2005. Our results show
 that firms spending more on R&D have higher gross profits, but do not have
 higher return on equity (ROE) and return on assets (ROA). There is a
 strong positive relationship between lead firms and performance as
 measured by gross profit, ROE and ROA, but the relationship between lead
 firms and gross profit becomes insignificant when the interaction term of
 R&D and lead firm is included in the analysis. Finally, lead firm status
 has a positive interaction effect on the relationship between R&D and
 gross profit. These findings suggest that the relationship of R&D to
 performance is mixed, but that lead firms can capture higher value (gross
 profit) from R&D than contract manufacturers and component suppliers.

Title: What Drives (or Hampers) Outsourcing? Evidence for a Local Production System in Emilia Romagna 
Abstract:
  The paper investigates the drivers of the outsourcing decisions of firms
 located in a specific local production system. Different kinds of drivers
 are considered drawing on different strands of the literature, considering
 the firm from an organizational point of view, and as a production,
 industrial and innovation unit of analysis. Theoretical correlations
 between outsourcing decisions and variables are formulated and tested with
 respect to a representative cross-section sample of the firms in Reggio
 Emilia, a local production system in Emilia Romagna. The main result of
 the paper is that, in the local context investigated, transaction costs do
 not seem to be a significant driver of outsourcing. The decision to
 externalize is rather driven by other arguments, strongly based on the
 resource-competence approach, factors such as the need for tapping into
 the providers to promote technological innovation. On the other hand,
 these drivers are contrasted by the industrial relations of the firms, as
 workers and workers' representatives significantly hamper it, possibly
 fearing job losses, or at most expect to be involved in the relative
 decision in order to make it possible or even spur it. These results have
 important implications, both at the research level&#x2014;at which they
 suggest to complement the transaction cost analysis of outsourcing with
 that of other approaches&#x2014;and at the management level&#x2014;at
 which they support the thesis that external organizational innovations,
 such as outsourcing, cannot neglect internal organizational aspects, such
 as human resource management and industrial relations.

Title: Accelerating Secondary Innovation through Organizational Learning: A Case Study and Theoretical Analysis 
Abstract:
  On the basis of nearly 20 years of in-depth longitudinal case study on
 HY, a leading air separation plant manufacturer in China, this paper
 attempts to test the preliminary conceptual model of secondary innovation
 and to explore new thoughts and implications for further development of
 the existing model. How did HY accelerate its secondary innovation through
 successful organizational learning during the past decades? According to
 the detailed conceptual model of secondary innovation stages and
 organizational learning modes, this case study elaborates HY's recent
 integrative learning process of the secondary innovation cycle of
 1996-2005 within the new context of intensified international competition
 in a fast-growing developing country market with large domestic demand and
 large FDIs. Different from the traditional technological learning model,
 the secondary innovation model emphasizes the important interrelations and
 interactions combining the acquired technologies with existing technology
 systems and further with local user requirements, which can be named
 &#x201c;structural understanding&#x201d; and &#x201c;functional
 understanding&#x201d;.

Title: Building Technological-Innovation-Based Strategic Capabilities at Firm Level in China: A Dynamic Resource-Based-View Case Study 
Abstract:
  This paper focuses on the 10-year-long practice of mobilizing key
 resources to build strategic capabilities based on technological
 innovation in a textile company in China. We propose an analytical
 framework on the basis of RBV theory and value chain analysis and adopt a
 dynamic perspective to determine the pattern and process of how different
 bundles of the key resources contributed to the strategic capabilities in
 our case company. We found that the firm's technological-innovation-based
 strategic capabilities were broadly influenced by neither technological
 resources, nor innovation resources, but organizational culture, human
 resources and organizational structure, among which human resources is the
 most dynamic one. For firms with ambition to maintain a high level of
 strategic capabilities it is imperative they develop and enhance their
 organizational culture in a flexible organizational environment. For firms
 with the objective of transforming or transplanting their existing
 capabilities, it is likely to be effective if they change or transfer the
 human resources, respectively.

Title: Knowledge Generation and Innovation in Manufacturing Firms in China 
Abstract:
  This paper explores and measures the knowledge generation process through
 identifying and examining the latent factor structure of the individual,
 managerial and cognitive dimensions of knowledge generation and
 investigating how these factors may relate to each other and to product
 innovation in the context of firms in China. We applied exploratory factor
 analysis and conducted a survey in Jiangsu province which is a main
 location of manufacturing activity and a large recipient of investment in
 science and technology in China. We found that individual and managerial
 factors included individual depth of knowledge, organizational commitment,
 academic orientation and managerial features, while cognitive factors
 involved developing a global and local knowledge base and engaging in
 imitative, embodied and/or minimalist learning strategies. The study also
 uncovered close associations between the depth of knowledge of individuals
 and their ability to develop a global knowledge base and between a
 minimalist learning strategy and the existence of a local knowledge base.

Title: Evolution of the Chinese Automobile Industry from a Sectoral System of Innovation Perspective 
Abstract:
  Based on surveys of important innovations in the Chinese automobile
 industry, we divide the evolution of the automobile industry into three
 stages. We construct a conceptual model for the sectoral innovation system
 and utilize this model to analyse the main mechanisms of interaction in
 the context of autonomous innovations in the Chinese automobile industry.
 We attempt to interpret these autonomous innovations in the Chinese
 automobile industry from the perspective of an interactive system; the
 conclusions are suggestive and must be tested in further empirical
 research.

Title: Technology Evolution in China's Color TV Industry 
Abstract:
  For industries in undeveloped countries, technological paradigm
 transition means both opportunities and challenges. This paper examines
 the technology evolution process of the color TV industry in China across
 two areas: CRT (cathode ray tube) and flat panel display. In order to
 delineate the evolution path, a theoretical model is proposed in which six
 influencing factors, namely, firm strategy, demand, resource supplying,
 policy/regulation, technology paradigm/technology regime and industry
 structure, are examined. These factors jointly determine the evolution
 process of the color TV industry in China. This model clearly explains the
 industry's backward position, in comparison with that in leading
 countries.

Title: The Emergence and Development of the Vegetable Sector in China 
Abstract:
  This paper surveys the development of the vegetable sector in China over
 the past 20 years. It is part of the ongoing Catch-up Project which
 embraces several sectoral systems of innovation in a number of developing
 countries under a &#x201c;learning capability/knowledge-base
 interactions&#x201d; framework for analysis and comparison. The work
 traces the evolutionary process of the sector development and analyzes the
 driving forces and source of opportunity. The paper then goes on to
 analyze the development of market institutions that backed up the
 emergence, expansion and deepening of the sector, the transformation of
 technological and knowledge regimes and capability building, and sorts out
 the roles that the government played in the development of the sector. The
 paper ends with major findings from the case study.

Title: Corporate Governance and Technological Capability Development: Three Case Studies in the Chinese Auto Industry 
Abstract:
  This paper examines how firms' technological capability development is
 affected by corporate governance, broadly understood: &#x201c;how and by
 whom the firm is directed and controlled&#x201d;. Three state-owned
 companies are studied. Shanghai Auto Industry Corporation (SAIC) is a
 long-established &#x201c;favoured&#x201d; enterprise controlled on rather
 traditional lines. Chery is a small under-funded latecomer that receives
 exceptional &#x201c;engagement&#x201d; from its controlling local and
 provincial government. Guizhou Tyre (GTC) is long-established but also
 receives exceptional engagement. The firms' governance structures and
 their processes of technological capability building were tracked and
 compared. Data on SAIC and Chery was mainly from secondary sources; on
 GTC, from extensive interviewing of management and site observations.
 There were two main findings: first, it was the two with unusual
 engagement which were more successful in developing
 &#x201c;endogenous&#x201d; or &#x201c;self-reliant&#x201d; technological
 capability. Second, two alternative technological strategies could be
 distinguished: &#x201c;bundled&#x201d; or &#x201c;unbundled&#x201d;
 technology acquisition. Chery and GTC chose &#x201c;unbundling&#x201d;. We
 show why it was more successful and why it followed from the corporate
 governance situation.

Title: Alternative Paths to Competitive Advantage: A Fuzzy-Set Analysis of the Origins of Large Firms 
Abstract:
  Scholars have documented the importance of national-level factors for the
 competitive success of firms on a global scale. These studies typically
 identify multiple factors that are behind the emergence of large and
 successful firms in particular national clusters. However, there has been
 relatively little research identifying whether such factors are all
 collectively necessary to produce the outcome, or whether only a few of
 the factors in different combinations might be sufficient to generate the
 shift in competitive advantage manifested in the market power of large
 &#x201c;flagship&#x201d; firms. In this paper, we study the evolution of
 one industry across six countries in which the competitive position of
 national firms changed considerably during our 100-year analysis period.
 The results of our combined historical and fuzzy-set analyses show that an
 unequal distribution of resources may lead to alternative causal pathways
 to competitive advantage of the largest firms.

Title: Firm Partial Modularity and Performance in the Electronic Manufacturing Services Industry 
Abstract:
  Firms continue to develop new ways to decentralize non-core activities to
 outside parties. Scholars have approached this issue with modularity
 theory, suggesting a continuum of arrangements ranging from hierarchy to
 market. Hierarchy relies on fiat, while partially modular forms, those
 forms between hierarchy and market, require greater coordination,
 communication and relationships between firms than do fully modular (or
 market) forms. While modularity theory identifies this continuum, the
 associated empirical literature tends to dichotomize modularity: firms are
 either modular or they are not. Nor does the empirical literature examine
 the performance outcomes of modular arrangements within this continuum. By
 examining firms that vary between full integration and partial modularity
 with a continuous modularity measure, this paper empirically examines the
 performance outcomes associated with a range of modularity levels. We
 derive this measure from a peculiar inventory option available within the
 electronic manufacturing services (EMS) industry. Our data include
 observations on 260 firms over five years. We find that more firms rely on
 partially modular arrangements, the lower their performance. We suggest
 explanations for this result, and areas of future research meant to pursue
 it.

Title: Worlds Apart? A Comparison of the New Product Development Strategies of Biopharmaceutical Firms in Europe and the USA 
Abstract:
  Globally the biopharmaceutical industry is characterized by strong
 competition, research-intensive and protracted new product development
 (NPD) processes, intensive regulation and extensive alliance activity.
 Policy regimes and operating environments differ markedly, however. Here
 we examine how these differences impact on the NPD strategies of
 biopharmaceutical firms in the USA and three major EU economies (the UK,
 France and Germany). Our analysis suggests four key differences between
 firms' NPD strategies in the two areas. First, while levels of R&D
 intensity and continuity are broadly similar in the two areas, US firms
 have notably stronger patent profiles, and are significantly more active
 in technology licensing than their European counterparts. Second, product
 development cycles are significantly longer in the USA than among our
 European respondents. Third, the nature of the product development
 pipeline is very different in the USA and the major European economies
 covered by our study: US firms conduct early stage development of more
 compounds than European firms but take only a similar number to market.
 Fourth, we see broadly similar levels of alliance activity in our US and
 European respondents at both the early and late stages of the NPD process.
 These results suggest a greater substitution of &#x201c;market&#x201d; for
 &#x201c;hierarchy&#x201d; in US firms' NPD strategies, reflecting
 differences in the availability and structure of government support in the
 USA and Europe.

Title: Reaping the Benefits of Patenting Activities: Does the Size of Patentees Matter? 
Abstract:
  This paper is based upon a survey on a regional sample of Italian
 inventors who, between 1991 and 2005, were named in patent applications
 filed at the European Patent Office. Their features and patenting
 activities are examined in relation to the size of their organizations.
 Compared to those from medium and large companies, the inventors working
 in small firms are less productive in terms of patent applications.
 However, according to different indicators, it emerges that there is no
 difference in the average quality of patented inventions of the two
 groups. Nevertheless, one-third of small applicants evaluates negatively
 its patenting experience, while this is true for only a tiny fraction of
 larger patentees. On the basis of further interviews, we find that these
 assessments are particularly influenced by the different capacity to
 enforce patent rights.

Title: Flexible Organizations, Innovation and Gender Equality: Writing for the US Film Industry, 1907-27 
Abstract:
  Why did women writers do so well in the early American film industry?
 Content analysis of articles published in Moving Picture World and the New
 York Times, 1907-27, shows early film studios were flexible in job
 assignments and collaborated with other studios. This non-bureaucratic
 configuration was more conducive to female screenwriters than the
 hierarchical studio system that emerged later in the 1920s. Women writers
 had more visibility and authority in this network form of organization
 than in the large bureaucratic studio system. Investigating a case prior
 to World War II suggests how organizational arrangements affect women's
 place in the labor market when odds are against equality.

Title: Booming Bohemia? Evidence from the US High-Technology Industry 
Abstract:
  This paper assesses the effect of Richard Florida's creative class on
 economic growth and development at two levels of spatial aggregation.
 First, I examine the dynamics of economic growth across US metropolitan
 regions and investigate how they relate to regional specialization and the
 concentration of talent in the high-tech industry. In addition to evidence
 of significant high-tech clusters, I identify important complementarities
 with regard to the interaction between the three Ts of regional
 development (talent, technology and tolerance) and regional growth
 dynamics. Using firm-level data, the regional analysis is then
 complemented by exploring the location of new high-technology plant
 openings and their relationship with university research and development
 (R&D) and the creative class. Specifically, I test the hypothesis that
 both university R&D and the presence of &#x201c;creativity&#x201d;
 generate spillovers which are captured locally in the form of new
 high-tech establishments, after controlling for important location factors
 such as local cost, demand and agglomeration economies. While the marginal
 impacts of increased R&D funding on county probability for new firm
 formation is modest, the mix of creativity and diversity&#x2014;as proxied
 by the Florida measure&#x2014;appears to be a key driver in the locational
 choice of new high-tech firms. Separate estimates indicate that these
 findings hold up across the major high-tech industries in the USA.

Title: The Dot-Com Boom and Bust in the Context of Regional and Sectoral Changes 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the effects of the dot-com boom and bust on firm
 survival, migration and growth in other sectors. Dot-com expansion revived
 a slowing central city economy but also raised issues regarding
 displacement of manufacturing, distribution, social services and other
 non-profits from San Francisco's &#x201c;South of Market&#x201d;. This
 study uses the National Establishment Time Series (NETS) database to
 examine how the growth of dot-com businesses affected San Francisco and
 surrounding counties. We find that start-ups were central to San
 Francisco's job growth. Relocations also were a significant aspect of job
 change. Dot-com growth was positively associated with propensity for
 pre-boom information and professional services establishments and for
 non-high-tech manufacturing or distribution establishments to move, while
 arts, social services and non-profits remained in the city.

Title: Art for Business: Creating Competitive Advantage through Cultural Projects 
Abstract:
  Today, more than ever, products determine their own market presence
 through the meanings that they assume and the symbolic value that they
 exude. For this reason, an increasing number of companies are trying to
 enrich brands and products with new cultural values and messages. The
 cultural aspects of products and brands are so relevant that lately
 several companies and organizations have aimed to link art and business to
 improve both society and corporate performance. If in the 1990s keystone
 contributions from Pine and Gilmore (The Experience Economy&#x2014;Work is
 Theatre & Every Business a Stage, Boston, MA: Harvard Business School
 Press, 1999), Schmitt (Experiential Marketing&#x2014;How to Get Customers
 to Sense, Feel, Think, Act and Relate, New York: The Free Press, 1999),
 and Schmitt and Simonson (Marketing Aesthetics&#x2014;The Strategic
 Management of Brands, Identity, and Image, New York: The Free Press, 1997)
 provided interesting and stimulating managerial visions, recent phenomena
 seem to show the necessity of providing something more than an experience.
 Gilmore and Pine (Authenticity: What Consumers Really Want, Boston, MA:
 Harvard Business School Press, 2007) describe the concept of authenticity
 as the new business imperative; Holt (How Brands become Icons, Boston, MA:
 Harvard Business School Press, 2004) demonstrates the success of some
 iconic brands with particular cultural connections. Focusing on two
 Italian companies (Diesel and illycaffe) that do not operate in the
 cultural industries but can be considered cultural producers, the paper
 analyzes several cultural projects, explaining their potential
 contribution to the competitive advantage. Collaboration with artists
 allows these firms to intercept and to interpret emerging cultural
 phenomena and consequently to anticipate the trends of the future.
 Cultural projects represent a sort of distributed research project that
 allows the co-production of future scenarios in collaboration with several
 categories of actors, such as famous artists, young talents and consumers.
 The co-development of cultural projects with external actors allows firms
 to reinforce connections and build communities of people who share similar
 visions and values.

Title: The Anatomy of the Creative City 
Abstract:
  The aim of this contribution is to depict and analyze the dynamics of
 situated creativity by presenting an anatomy of the creative city and an
 understanding of the emergence and formation of creative processes in
 these particular local ecologies of knowledge. We propose to study the
 anatomy of the creative city by defining three different layers&#x2014;the
 upperground, the middleground and the underground&#x2014;as the basic
 components of the creative processes in local innovative milieus. Each one
 of these layers intervenes with specific characteristics in the creative
 process, and enables new knowledge to transit from an informal micro-level
 to a formal macro-level. In order to illustrate this point of view, the
 creative city of Montreal is analyzed through two main case studies:
 Ubisoft and the Cirque du Soleil.

Title: See the Sound, Hear the Style: Collaborative Linkages between Indie Musicians and Fashion Designers in Local Scenes 
Abstract:
  Although economic geographers have paid significant attention to the
 competitive dynamics, organizational and employment structures of specific
 cultural industries, the existing research privileges large firms and
 established centres such as New York, London and Los Angeles. Moreover,
 despite the conceptual articulations of spillovers and &#x201c;related
 variety&#x201d; few attempts have been made to examine the collaborative
 linkages between two or more related industries and, more specifically,
 how changing macro-economic forces are affecting individual producers at
 the local scale. In this paper we address these gaps and argue that the
 growing prevalence of independent production is transforming the nature of
 the long-standing connection between music and fashion. Specifically, that
 strategic collaborations between indie producers are becoming crucial to
 competing in the contemporary landscape of cultural production and
 consumption. We also assert that the motivations and mechanisms of these
 contemporary collaborations differ from their historical counterparts in
 important ways. Indeed technological advancements and the demands of indie
 production are changing the networking practices that facilitate these
 partnerships and the ways in which indie producers value and exchange
 goods and services.

Title: Generating Stylistic Innovation: A Process Perspective 
Abstract:
  In contrast to technological innovation, little is known about how
 innovation arises in the creative industries. This inductive study of
 product development practices in five fashion firms examines how
 organizations in the fashion industry develop a particular type of
 innovation: stylistic innovation. The resulting theoretical framework
 reveals that successful fashion firms develop stylistic innovations based
 on a unique combination of three sets of interrelated product development
 practices&#x2014;creative sensing (inspiration-based), stylistic
 orchestrating (coherence-focused) and agile synchronization
 (timing-driven). This study's main contributions to the innovation
 literature are its crystallization of the key properties of stylistic
 product innovation, its development practices and extension of thinking
 about how these properties are different from prior development practices
 found in traditional technological industries.

Title: Patterns of Innovation Capabilities in KIBS Firms: Evidence from the 2003 Statistics Canada Innovation Survey on Services 
Abstract:
  The aim of this paper is to shed light on complementarities and
 substitutions between various types of innovation capabilities in
 knowledge-intensive-based service (KIBS) firms. The data used in this
 study are the responses of 2,625 innovative firms to the 2003 Statistics
 Canada Innovation Survey on services. The empirical results suggest the
 presence of three patterns of complementary innovation capabilities, one
 pattern of substitute activities and finally, four patterns of innovation
 capabilities that are independent from each other. Hence, the results
 suggest the presence of complementarities: first, between internal R&D,
 external R&D, acquisition of equipment and machinery, and marketing
 activities; second, between external R&D, acquisition of equipment and
 machinery, acquisition of external knowledge and marketing activities;
 third, between acquisition of equipment and machinery, acquisition of
 external knowledge and marketing activities. Such complementarities lead
 to the conclusion that, in practice, managers of KIBS firms consider the
 consolidation of these capabilities jointly instead of separately. The
 paper also discusses issues related to patterns of capabilities that are
 substitutes and independent from each other. The results of this study
 also show significant heterogeneity in the determinants of the different
 patterns of innovation capabilities.

Title: Which Type of Trust for Inter-firm Learning? 
Abstract:
  This study investigates the association between types of trust and
 inter-firm learning in buyer-supplier exchanges in an industrial cluster.
 More specifically, the study explores the impact of trust types on
 knowledge sharing among manufacturer and retailer SMEs in a furniture
 cluster. The results of empirical data from 158 manufacturers suggest no
 significant association between trust based on competence, reliability and
 predictability and inter-firm learning and a significant positive
 association between trust based on goodwill, benevolence and
 non-opportunism and inter-firm learning. The study findings integrate
 research on the relational and knowledge-related aspects of knowledge
 exchange at the dyadic inter-firm level.

Title: Nordic City Regions in the Creative Class Debate&#x2014;Putting the Creative Class Thesis to a Test 
Abstract:
  The Nordic countries have a quite different urban structure and social
 systems than the USA. Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden may then
 constitute a critical test of the empirical reach of Richard Florida's
 much cited creative class thesis beyond its empirical basis in the USA.
 This paper employs comparative statistics to examine the importance of the
 quality of place in attracting members of the creative class to Nordic
 city regions, and it analyses the role of the creative class for regional
 economic development. Florida's original study focused only on city
 regions with more than 100,000 inhabitants. Our statistical analyses
 mainly support Florida's results with regard to these larger Nordic city
 regions. The paper, however, also analyses smaller city regions, which are
 important in the Nordic urban structure. The findings are clearly less
 supportive for these smaller regions, which mean that the original
 creative class approach has to be considerably refined when used in the
 Nordic context.

Title: Innovation and Social Capital: A Cross-Country Investigation 
Abstract:
  This study explores the impact of social capital on innovation by
 constructing a more general measure of social capital, which consists of
 generalized and institutional trust, associational activities and civic
 norms. We test the hypothesis that social capital has a positive impact on
 innovation at the national level. After controlling for research and
 development expenditure and human capital, we find that there is a
 positive relationship between social capital and innovation. Social
 capital interacts with entrepreneurship; the strongest relationship is
 between associated activities and entrepreneurship. This study supports
 the need to build strong social relationships in today's networked
 economy.

Title: Knowledge Bases in Worlds of Production: The Case of the Food Industry 
Abstract:
  This paper aims to contribute to research on the knowledge dimension of
 industrial innovation and competitive advantage by combining two
 conceptual constructs that are applied in growing but separate bodies of
 research. One, the so-called &#x201c;SAS model&#x201d;, regards knowledge
 bases of firms and distinguishes between Synthetic, Analytical and
 Symbolic knowledge. The second, the &#x201c;Worlds of Production&#x201d;
 construct, classifies firms according to differences in technologies and
 markets and outlines four possible action frameworks within which
 companies operate and innovate. Combining these conceptualizations seems
 to enrich analyses within both perspectives and provide a useful framework
 for studies on knowledge dynamics in different economic contexts.
 Empirical evidence regarding knowledge dynamics of two &#x201c;alternative
 food&#x201d; producers is presented, indicating that symbolic knowledge
 which in current literature is mainly delimited and described within
 cultural industries, may also be relevant for other industries such as the
 alternative food sub-sector.

Title: Do R&D Spinoffs have Higher R&D Productivity? Evidence from Taiwanese Electronics Firms 
Abstract:
  The startup mode of spinoffs founded by R&D employees (R&D spinoffs)
 within the same industry is widespread in high-tech industries. The
 founders usually own specific human capital and key technological
 capability, enabling them to take the operational risk and to appropriate
 rewards of innovations under the industrial environment of rapid
 technological change. Whether high-tech R&D spinoffs, compared to their
 other spinoff counterparts, have better R&D productivity remains less well
 explored. According to the conceptual discussion of the advantages of
 intangible innovation assets embodied in company founders, this study
 argues that the founders' innovation cognition, knowledge externalities,
 absorptive capability and routine experience can help R&D spinoffs to have
 higher R&D productivity. We thus propose three hypotheses that are then
 empirically tested. Based on a sample of Taiwanese electronics firms, the
 empirical findings show that R&D spinoffs invest with a higher R&D
 intensity and on average have more patents issued. More importantly, the
 microeconometric estimates show that the patent and output elasticities of
 the R&D of R&D spinoffs are significantly higher than those of other
 firms, indicating that they actually have higher R&D productivity.

Title: Clustering in the Creative Industries: Insights from the Origins of Computer Software 
Abstract:
  We use several different sources (a 1970 Roster of Organizations in Data
 Processing and the 1960 and 1970 Censuses of Population) to study patterns
 of geographic clustering at the very origins of the software industry. We
 find a strong trend toward clustering of the industry in a few
 metropolitan areas. Furthermore, we uncover a tendency in the early
 software industry to agglomerate in close proximity to some of its main
 customers. This tendency holds even after controlling for region-specific
 heterogeneity and for the potentially endogenous nature of the software
 customers' location decisions. We explore the factors that may have driven
 the observed clustering patterns and suggest directions for further
 research.

Title: Role of Corporate-Wide Offshoring Strategy on Offshoring Drivers, Risks and Performance 
Abstract:
  In this study we investigate the role of corporate offshoring strategy on
 offshoring decisions and performance. Based on 876 offshoring projects
 from 226 companies obtained by means of surveys conducted in the USA and
 Europe, we examine the effect of offshoring strategy on factors
 influencing firms' views of offshoring, and the effect of offshoring
 strategy on offshoring performance. Separate analyses were conducted for
 US and European companies in order to explore any regional heterogeneity
 in offshoring. A comparative analysis between companies with and without
 an offshoring strategy reveals that when making offshoring decisions, the
 former consider a broader range of factors (drivers, risks and locations)
 as important compared to companies without an offshoring strategy,
 suggesting association between offshoring strategy and managerial
 attention. The results also indicate that the adoption of a corporate
 offshoring strategy has a significant positive effect on cost savings
 achieved from offshore implementations, and that innovation activities
 have a significant negative impact on cost savings, but only for European
 companies.

Title: A Matter of Coherence: The Effects of Offshoring of Intangibles on Firm Performance 
Abstract:
  Offshoring of intangibles is a global production strategy based on the
 decision to externalize intangible activities to foreign countries. In the
 present work we test the existence of a positive relationship between
 offshoring intangibles and firm performance. To reap the full benefit of
 offshoring, firms are required to integrate and coordinate activities and
 knowledge; integration and coordination become difficult when activities
 are knowledge intensive as in the case of intangibles. We argue that the
 positive relation between offshoring intangibles and performance is
 strengthened if firms retain part of the knowledge related to the offshore
 outsourced activity, which reduces the risk of knowledge fragmentation and
 eases coordination and control. Our analysis suggests that some coherence
 between what a firm outsources abroad and what it offers positively
 moderates the relationship between offshoring intangible activities and
 firm performance.

Title: Leveraging Offshoring: The Identification of New Business Opportunities in International Settings 
Abstract:
  This work aims to shed light on the process through which small and
 medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) identify new business opportunities within
 their ongoing offshoring activities. Empirical evidence is drawn on the
 case of think3, an Italian medium-sized software company that has been
 offshoring its R&D activities to Bangalore, India, since the year 2000. In
 2004, the company started a brand new &#x201c;global&#x201d; business:
 from selling software solutions for computer-aided design, it began
 selling the engineering capabilities to use its solutions, leveraging
 highly qualified Indian mechanical engineers. Our analysis underlines
 three elements underpinning think3's ability in envisaging a new
 profitable business opportunity. These are its experiential knowledge of:
 (a) the markets, clients and competitors, (b) the offshore context, and
 (c) the internationalization process as a software house, embodied in the
 ability to promote offshore cultural integration and to align home and
 offshore operations. This study enables a better understanding of the
 factors triggering the recognition of new business opportunities by SMEs,
 at the international level.

Title: Work-Related Identities, Virtual Work Acceptance and the Development of Glocalized Work Practices in Globally Distributed Teams 
Abstract:
  Technological advances and economic changes have enabled distant
 collaboration between knowledge workers, and contributed to the increased
 use of globally distributed teams to accomplish knowledge-intensive work.
 This paper presents exploratory research that aims to improve our
 understanding of the interplay between multiple work identities and their
 effect on globally distributed teams' outcomes. We compare two globally
 distributed teams in Western organizations offshoring R&D activities
 towards emerging countries. Our grounded model shows that acceptance of
 virtual work is facilitated when the perception of different professional
 identities across sites is moderated by a shared organizational identity;
 when managerial support promotes cultural integration and diffused
 knowledge about the strategic objectives of virtual work; and when
 glocalized work practices are promoted and sustained over time. We
 conclude with a discussion of theoretical and practical implications.

Title: On the Consequences of Patenting University Research: Lessons from a Survey of French Academic Inventors 
Abstract:
  This paper focuses on the consequences of patenting university research.
 It presents the results of a survey on 280 French academic inventors, that
 is, French university professors who are also designated as inventors in
 at least one European patent. This survey provides new insights into the
 effect of university patenting on the commercialization of university
 inventions, the transfer of scientific research, the incentives to do
 basic research and the access to upstream knowledge. In particular, the
 study suggests that patenting university research can, on the one hand,
 facilitate the transfer of technology from university to industry,
 especially in the fields of life sciences and pharmaceuticals. On the
 other hand, it almost systematically delays the publication of research
 findings, thus hindering the dissemination of scientific knowledge.

Title: The Persistence of Superior Performance at Industry and Firm Levels: Evidence from the IT Industry in Taiwan 
Abstract:
  The industrial organization economics and the resource-based view of the
 firm have led to disagreements over the question as to which of firm
 performance at the industry and firm levels has persisted longer since the
 1970s. Acknowledging that the IT industry in Taiwan has become very
 competitive and has demonstrated outstanding performance in the world
 since the 1990s, this study calculates the persistence in the incremental
 components of the effects on profitability, and tests hypotheses that
 conform to the above mainstream views of relative rates of persistence. A
 persistence partitioning model is fitted to a new data set, and the
 results show that the incremental effects of firms on profitability
 persist longer than the incremental effects of industry. In other words,
 the long-term competitive advantages of IT firms in Taiwan are more
 predictable and sustainable in regards to firm factors than for industry
 influences. These findings support the predictions of the resource-based
 view of the firm, and provide some implications for corporate strategy.

Title: Sourcing Knowledge and Innovation in a Low-Technology Industry 
Abstract:
  This paper investigates the relationship between knowledge sourcing and
 innovation in a select low- to medium-technology industry, the forest
 sector. It is based on data from the Statistics Canada Survey of
 Innovation 2005. Econometric models are developed and tested, specifically
 logistic regression analyses, in order to probe the relationship between
 select forms of embodied and disembodied knowledge and levels of
 innovation intensity. Differences between single establishment Canadian
 firms, multi-establishment Canadian firms, Canada-USA multi-establishment
 firms and establishments belonging to multinational firms are studied in
 terms of the relationship between innovation and sources of knowledge.
 Findings indicate that establishment innovative performance is related to
 knowledge sourcing strategies and furthermore that organization
 ownership/structure impacts significantly upon this relationship.

Title: Complexity, Critical Mass and Industry Formation: A Comparison of Selected Industries 
Abstract:
  This paper uses a typology of industries to summarize and contrast the
 challenges involved with industry formation and to examine why specific
 industries were formed in some countries before other ones. The formation
 of most new industries depends on the introduction of products that
 provide a superior &#x201c;value proposition&#x201d; to some set of users
 where their introduction requires new R&D-related capabilities in firms.
 However, industries whose products require a critical mass of users or
 complementary products for growth to continue and ones that involve
 complex systems face additional challenges.

Title: Formation Process and Geography of Science-Industry Partnerships: The Case of the University of Poitiers 
Abstract:
  This paper tries to elicit new explanations into the geography of
 collaborations between science and industry by focusing on how they are
 initially set up. Two determining factors could influence this:
 constraints linked to the search for complementary resources and
 possibilities to connect with partners. An empirical study on
 collaborations established by several laboratories of the University of
 Poitiers with companies confirms this hypothesis. Searching for specific
 resources means fewer potential partners are available and explains the
 small number of local collaborations and the high number of partnerships
 with certain regions. However, these constraints alone do not suffice to
 determine the spatial scale of such collaborations. Analysing how
 connections are established particularly reveals that partners generally
 prefer to renew collaborations rather than initiate new ones. This leads
 to the existing geography of partnerships being reinforced.

Title: Forms and Determinants of R&D Collaborations: Evidence Based on French Data 
Abstract:
  The literature on R&D collaboration highlights a broad set of rationales
 for allying with other organizations. At the same time, it has been
 reported that there exists a large variety of forms of collaboration.
 Nevertheless, the relation between the motives to collaborate and the
 different forms of collaboration has not been examined. In this paper, we
 attempt to fill this gap by highlighting and explaining the heterogeneity
 in the forms of collaboration as a result of several interdependent
 simultaneous choices. Using a sample of more than 3,000 R&D
 collaborations, a typology of their characteristics allows us to
 distinguish five discrete forms of collaboration. Then using a multinomial
 logit estimation, we show how the forms of collaboration vary according to
 the firms' attributes (size, R&D internal effort, group membership),
 market and objectives pursued. We also obtain new results on the effects
 of incoming spillovers as well as appropriability conditions.

Title: Open, Semi-Open and Closed Innovators: Towards an Explanation of Degree of Openness 
Abstract:
  There is much controversy in the literature over the relationship between
 the openness of firms' innovation strategies and firm characteristics such
 as size, R&D intensity and sector. We argue that the controversy arises
 because, both theoretically and empirically, only a binary, open vs.
 closed, strategy has been considered. In this paper, we distinguish among
 three firm strategies: open, semi-open and closed, drawing upon a panel of
 Spanish firms (2004-2006) using data from Community Innovation Survey
 (CIS)-type surveys, and two different indicators of openness. Our results
 show that open innovators are smaller and less R&D intensive than
 semi-open ones, although larger and more R&D intensive than closed
 innovators. These results reduce some of the controversies, and show that
 two conflicting forces, absorptive capacity and a &#x201c;need&#x201d;
 effect, are at stake in open innovation strategies.

Title: Combining Innovation and Capacity Utilization in High Throughput Systems: Moving Beyond the Product Life Cycle Model by Introducing Second-Order Innovations 
Abstract:
  The literature on the product life cycle and on high throughput systems
 has been preoccupied with studying an apparent lack of flexibility in
 capital-intensive production systems. Companies in capital-intensive
 industries need to maintain a high level of capacity utilization in order
 to stay economically viable, however, their efforts to uphold the
 throughput of their systems often have the unforeseen and unintended
 consequence of limiting their ability to introduce new products and
 services. Nevertheless, some companies have managed to resolve these
 tensions by introducing what we describe as &#x201c;second-order
 innovations&#x201d;, a type of innovation which acts on the innovation
 process itself and enables new products and services to be introduced
 without a steep decline in capacity utilization. By focusing on these
 cases and discussing their theoretical implications, we want to contribute
 to the existing literature on high throughput systems by identifying key
 mechanisms for introducing and maintaining such second-order innovations
 and describing the patterns of industrial evolution that they create.

Title: Methodological Issues in Measuring Innovation Performance of Spatial Units 
Abstract:
  The innovation performance of regions or nations has been repeatedly
 measured in the literature. What is missing, however, is a discussion of
 what innovation performance of a region or nation means. How do regions or
 nations exactly contribute to the innovation output of firms? And how can
 this contribution be investigated in an empirically sound way? We argue
 that while the literature offers many suggestions, their theoretical
 foundation is often weak and the underlying assumptions are rarely
 discussed. In this paper, we systematize various mechanisms by which
 spatial units influence firms' innovation activities. On the basis of
 this, common innovation performance measures and analyses are discussed
 and evaluated. It is concluded that there is no general best way of
 measuring the innovation performance of spatial units. In fact, the most
 interesting insights can be obtained using a multitude of different
 approaches at the same time.

Title: Treating Patents as Relational Data: Knowledge Transfers and Spillovers across Italian Provinces 
Abstract:
  The paper applies a relational perspective to patent data in order to
 investigate the characteristics of innovation flows within and across 103
 Italian NUTS3 regions (province). In this way it is possible to use the
 CRENoS database on regional patenting&#x2014;built on EPO data spanning
 from 1978 to 2003&#x2014;to investigate the scientific and technological
 &#x201c;relations&#x201d; among &#x201c;invention-creating&#xa0;&#x201d;
 and &#x201c;invention-adopting&#xa0;&#x201d; territories. In particular,
 patents are used as relational data connecting inventors and applicants
 along a dual interpretation of a &#x201c;knowledge production&#x201d; and
 a &#x201c;knowledge utilization&#x201d; function. In addition a gravity
 model is used to identify frictions and attractions of the Italian
 innovation system. Analytical tools, such as social network analysis,
 spatial econometrics and negative binomial estimation procedures, are used
 to map and measure the structure and the evolution of a series of
 innovation sub-systems, both at territorial level (i.e. province) and at
 the industry level (i.e. five specific industries, chosen according to the
 Pavitt's taxonomy, Footwear, Textiles, Machinery, Personal Computers and
 Chemicals).

Title: The Performance of Gatekeepers in Innovator Networks 
Abstract:
  We investigate the impact of actors' positions within regional innovator
 networks on their innovative performance. The networks of four selected
 regions are based on information on patent applicants and inventors. Count
 data regressions show positive effects on innovation of both the total
 number of relations and of access to a larger knowledge base. However,
 when looking at innovators that are characterised by multiple internal and
 external contacts, our results suggest that these gatekeepers are not able
 to reap all the benefits associated with their brokering position. This
 implies that gatekeepers exert external effects on the innovation system.

Title: Determinants of Collaboration in European R&D Networks: Empirical Evidence from a Discrete Choice Model 
Abstract:
  This paper focuses on inter-organizational R&D collaborations as captured
 by joint research projects funded within the European Framework Programmes
 for Research and Technological Development (EU-FPs). We identify
 determinants of collaboration, including actor characteristics, relational
 and network effects as well as geographical effects by means of a discrete
 choice model. Using data on EU-FP projects from the EUPRO database and
 from a representative survey of participants, we produce statistically
 significant evidence that collaboration choices in EU-FPs are primarily
 facilitated by prior acquaintance, thematic proximity and geographical
 proximity. Also, network effects are significantly related to
 collaboration choice. Moreover, the study shows that the impact of
 geographical effects increases for more intensive collaboration. The
 results are promising since a deeper understanding of these collaboration
 processes is needed for future governance of research policies in the EU.

Title: Do Firms Know the Scope of their R&D Network? An Empirical Investigation of the Determinants of Network Awareness on French Survey Data 
Abstract:
  Although research and development (R&D) networks influence the innovation
 performance of their members, firms may not be fully aware of the scope of
 their network. In particular, due to cost reasons, they may not be fully
 informed of their &#x201c;indirect ties&#x201d;, that is, of the ties
 between their partners and other firms. To investigate this issue, the
 paper uses a survey inquiring about whether firms are aware of the ties
 that their main direct R&D partners may (or may not) have between
 themselves. Our results show that responding firms are more informed about
 their partners' other collaboration projects when the partnership is more
 directly linked to intangible R&D capital, when at least one partner is a
 public research organization or when the partnership is needed to access a
 new market. Network awareness is also higher when both R&D partners are
 from the same type (e.g. public research organization, companies,
 technical centers). Firms with a high R&D intensity or with a large size,
 as well as those affiliated to a group, are less likely to know their
 indirect ties. Finally, network awareness is lower in high-technology
 industries.

Title: Syndication, Networks and the Growth of Venture Capital in Philadelphia, 1980-99 
Abstract:
  This paper explores the use of venture capital syndication among venture
 capital firms in the Philadelphia region from 1980 to 1999. The central
 question in the analysis is the extent to which regional actors have
 embraced a new type of investing. To explore this question, the paper
 looks at the distribution of syndication ties, that is, patterns of
 co-investment among venture capital firms. In particular, the analysis
 explores patterns of syndication and network structure among venture
 capital firms to identify not only the extent of syndication but also
 cliques and clusters among syndication partners. The analysis utilizes an
 extensive database consisting of venture capital disbursements and
 investments in the Philadelphia region from 1980 to 1999. The paper finds
 that the use of syndication among Philadelphia venture capital firms was
 limited in nature. Although Philadelphia venture capital firms syndicated
 extensively with venture capital firms from outside the region,
 syndication among partners tended to be highly parochial. In addition, the
 emergence of a dominant clique of venture capital firms is documented, and
 their impact is discussed.

Title: The Organizational Designs of R&D Activities and their Performance Implications: Empirical Evidence for Spain 
Abstract:
  Through a rich panel of Spanish manufacturing companies, this study
 examines the hypothesis that the formation of inter-organizational
 complementarities in R&D depends on the type of alliance chosen by a firm
 to leverage its own R&D. To test this hypothesis, the study compares the
 capacity of different organizational designs of internal and external R&D
 activities to produce complementarities. The results indicate the
 existence of complementarities for cases where firms combine their own R&D
 with research collaboration. No complementarities are found for cases
 where firms adopt both intramural and R&D outsourcing jointly.
 Additionally, a comparison of the factors driving choices on R&D reveals
 that the use of &#x201c;innovation management practices&#x201d; and the
 presence of &#x201c;technological opportunities&#x201d; relate more to the
 adoption of research collaboration than to the adoption of R&D
 outsourcing. These findings are relevant as they may explain the reported
 differences in the production of complementarities.

Title: Fast-Follower Industrial Dynamics: The Case of Taiwan's Emergent Solar Photovoltaic Industry 
Abstract:
  The world is on the cusp of major transformations of energy systems, with
 solar photovoltaic (PV) systems providing one of the most promising
 alternatives to fossil fuels. Amongst the countries moving to take
 advantage of the new production possibilities thus being opened up is
 Taiwan, employing in this new sector its characteristic strategies of fast
 followership that it has perfected in earlier industrial shifts involving
 semiconductors, ICT products and flat panel displays. This paper provides
 an interim assessment of Taiwan's early entry strategies, involving a
 focus on mainstream crystalline silicon solar cells, as well as entry into
 emerging niche sectors such as thin-film second-generation cells and
 concentrated solar cells utilizing novel semiconductor materials. Taiwan
 firms' fast-follower strategies are highlighted and assessed in light of
 the literature on industrial dynamics and catch-up processes generally.
 The paper makes a contribution to theory in building nine propositions
 regarding fast followership, based on prior industrial experiences and
 this latest episode in the solar PV industry. Taiwan's strategies as a
 model for China are discussed, while the paper proposes Taiwan as an
 alternative to the &#x201c;closed&#x201d; and &#x201c;open&#x201d; models
 of photovoltaic diffusion identified for Japan and the USA.

Title: Patterns and Collaborators of Innovation in the Primary Sector: A Study of the Danish Agriculture, Forestry and Fishery Industry 
Abstract:
  Based upon a large-scale survey and case studies of innovation we explore
 patterns of innovation activities in the Danish agricultural, forestry and
 fishery industries. Our primary focus areas are the sources and
 capabilities of innovation. We demonstrate that despite the fact that this
 industry is often regarded as low-tech there are still substantial
 innovation activities going on. Around 23 per cent of the 640 firms
 surveyed had product and/or process innovation, 24 per cent had other
 types of innovation. A total of 46 per cent had some type of innovation.
 Firms delivering directly to end-users were more likely to be innovative
 than those delivering to the processing or wholesale links of the value
 chain. Many of the innovative firms had no collaboration on innovation,
 and respondents generally claim that stimuli for innovation were primarily
 internal. We also demonstrate that the industry has a very well developed
 extended knowledge base, which is a vital source of information and
 knowledge for innovation. This may explain why traditional survey
 instruments do not fully capture the external sources of innovation.

Title: Creative Distraction: Lack of Collective Learning in Adapting to Online Advertising in Oslo, Norway 
Abstract:
  The advertising industry is often seen as adaptable and flexible, and its
 work organization and diverse project ecologies are assumed to nurture
 creativity, learning and innovation. The advertising industry in Oslo is
 currently going through a restructuring process of adapting to the
 Internet as an emerging media channel for marketing, but struggles to
 benefit from collective learning. The established advertising agencies
 have been reluctant regarding the new opportunities in Internet-based
 advertising, which has allowed for a set of smaller and specialized web
 agencies to emerge, and who now possess the best skills within interactive
 advertising. The paper argues that there are two parallel epistemic
 communities in the localized advertising industry. It is shown that the
 advertising industry seems to have been caught in a path-dependent
 technological trajectory, and that in order for collective learning to
 unfold geographical proximity needs to be supplemented by cultural and
 epistemic proximity and compatibility.

Title: The Impact of Regulation-Driven Environmental Innovation on Innovation Success and Firm Performance 
Abstract:
  The impact of environmental innovations on firm performance is ambiguous.
 On the one hand, regulatory-driven environmental innovation may impose
 additional costs to firms and lower their profits. On the other hand,
 eco-innovators could profit from lower uncertainty in innovation due to
 regulatory standards and demand-generating effects of regulation. In this
 paper we analyse (a) whether regulation-driven environmental innovation
 generates similar innovation success compared to other types of product
 and process innovation, and (b) whether regulation-driven environmental
 innovation increases or decreases firm success (as measured by return on
 sales). Using firm data from the German innovation survey, we find that
 both product and process innovations driven by environmental regulation
 generate similar success in terms of sales with new products and cost
 savings as other innovations do. However, we find different effects when
 looking at the field of environmental regulation that triggered
 innovations. Regulations in favour of sustainable mobility contribute to
 higher sales with market novelties while regulations in the field of water
 management lower this type of innovation success. With regard to a firm's
 price-cost margin, new processes implemented in order to comply with
 environmental regulation requirements lower profitability, indicating
 higher costs for this type of innovation which cannot be passed on through
 prices. Higher profit margins can be observed for firms with innovations
 triggered by regulations on recycling and waste management as well as on
 resource efficiency.

Title: Market Formation in Technological Innovation Systems&#x2014;Diffusion of Photovoltaic Applications in Germany 
Abstract:
  The technological innovation systems (TIS) literature has focused
 strongly on actors, networks and institutions in early development phases
 of specific technologies. Structures and processes concerned with setting
 up and developing end-user markets have gained much less attention.
 Especially in maturing innovation systems, such market-related structures
 play a decisive role for the long-term success of innovations. The present
 paper proposes a conceptual framework for analyzing TIS substructures
 oriented at specific end-user markets. We apply this framework to the
 creation and maturation of different market segments for photovoltaic
 applications in Germany. The paper concludes by outlining implications of
 a more differentiated conceptualization of market processes for TIS
 research.

Title: Eco-Innovation Systems and Problem Sequences: The Contrasting Cases of US and Brazilian Biofuels 
Abstract:
  This paper discusses the re-emergence of biofuel innovation systems in
 the USA and Brazil. We develop a view of eco-innovation systems as
 emerging and evolving to solve ecological problems. We then consider the
 role of the State as a core actor in the mobilization of innovation
 systems and discuss how specific institutional arrangements, political
 contexts and technological competencies influence how problems are framed.
 We argue that the way ecological problems are framed and articulated has a
 significant impact on the direction and momentum of system evolution.
 Finally, we draw attention to the dynamic and evolving characteristics of
 eco-innovation systems that result from recurrent re-specifications of the
 problem in focus, as partial solutions emerge and as the political and
 economic dimensions are reframed.

Title: Competing Recombinant Technologies for Environmental Innovation: Extending Arthur's Model of Lock-In 
Abstract:
  This article presents a model of sequential decisions about investments
 in environmentally dirty and clean technologies, which extends the
 path-dependence framework of B. Arthur (1989, Competing technologies,
 increasing returns, and lock-in by historical events, The Economic
 Journal, 99, pp. 116-131). This allows us to evaluate if and how an
 economy locked into a dirty technology can be unlocked and move towards
 clean technology. The main extension involves the inclusion of the effect
 of recombinant innovation of the two technologies. A mechanism of
 endogenous competition is described involving a positive externality of
 increasing returns to investment which are counterbalanced by recombinant
 innovation. We determine conditions under which lock-in can be avoided or
 escaped. A second extension is &#x201c;symmetry breaking&#x201d; of the
 system due to the introduction of an environmental policy that charges a
 price for polluting. A final extension adds a cost of environmental policy
 in the form of lower returns on investment implemented through a
 growth-depressing factor. We compare cumulative pollution under different
 scenarios, so that we can evaluate the combination of environmental
 regulation and recombinant innovation.

Title: Overcoming Competence Lock-In for the Development of Radical Eco-Innovations: The Case of Biopolymer Technology 
Abstract:
  The plastics industry is trying to avoid the price spiral of fossil fuels
 by utilizing renewable resources and simultaneously aims to contribute to
 the fight against climate change. Hence, this industry is in the midst of
 a hybridization process where it needs to build competencies in the field
 of radical eco-innovations such as biopolymer technology. However, the
 extent of required competencies for industry-wide biopolymer technology
 development and diffusion is not well understood yet. This paper explores
 and analyzes which competencies the plastics industry applies for the
 development of biopolymer technology by presenting results of case studies
 conducted with eight German and Swiss firms. The results suggest that
 firms build up competencies in inter-firm alliances, independent project
 houses, technology monitoring cross-functional integration and bootleg
 research. The findings improve the understanding of the challenges of
 radical eco-innovations and provide examples how the plastics industry can
 foster innovative competencies in established R&D processes.

Title: Financial Market and Technological Innovation 
Abstract:
  This paper addresses the relationship between technological innovation
 and finance. The financial market must be regarded as one of the
 fundamental prerequisites of innovation, inasmuch as it is here that
 decisions are made on capital allocation to enterprises. However, less has
 been written on the interdependencies between the patterns of corporate
 finance and governance on the one hand and company innovation strategies
 on the other. The paper takes up these open questions. It analyses the
 transformation process of the German innovation system due to the dynamics
 of the financial market in the last decades. In conclusion, some general
 insight into the relationship between finance and innovation beyond the
 German context will be provided. The paper is based on an extensive
 literature research in the fields of economic sociology and innovation
 studies and the analysis of the public debate on the prospects of the
 current economic development.

Title: Knowledge and Technology Transfer Activities between Firms and Universities in Switzerland: An Analysis Based on Firm Data 
Abstract:
  This study explores the factors determining the propensity of Swiss firms
 to get involved in knowledge and technology transfer (KTT) activities with
 universities and other research institutions in order to gain new
 scientific knowledge in research fields which are relevant for their own
 innovation activities. The data used in this study were collected by a
 postal survey among Swiss enterprises. We found that the propensity to KTT
 activities is positively correlated with the share of employees with
 tertiary-level education, the existence of R&D activities, firm age and
 firm size. Further, it is negatively correlated with obstacles of KTT
 activities related to the functioning of the interface between firms and
 universities. The analysis of five specific forms of KTT activities showed
 that there are differences among these forms as to the explanatory factors
 identified for the variable for overall KTT activities, particularly with
 respect to human capital intensity, some obstacles and firm size.

Title: Industrial Collective Research Networks in Germany: Structure, Firm Involvement and Use of Results 
Abstract:
  In Germany, industrial collective research (ICR) provides a unique
 framework for research collaborations: an industry-supported network of
 firms and research institutes conducts research for firms in low- and
 medium-technology branches. The research projects are mainly financed by a
 publicly funded program. Based on two surveys, one for research institutes
 and one addressing firm representatives, we analyze for the first time the
 institutional features and interactions in ICR. We ask how business firms
 are involved in network activities and how they benefit from the knowledge
 created. The results from research in ICR are usually relevant for several
 firms (e.g. results related to new norms and standards). The network also
 provides a framework for research on high-tech applications by enabling
 collaboration across different sectors and technology fields. ICR has
 proven rather successful in achieving the balancing act between aims of
 the network and diverging interests of the actors.

Title: Pecuniary Knowledge Externalities across European Countries&#x2014;Are there Leading Sectors? 
Abstract:
  This paper investigates empirically the occurrence of pecuniary knowledge
 externalities at the sector level across European economies. The main
 results suggest that, although some sectors can be considered as playing a
 particularly important role as a source of pecuniary knowledge
 externalities in the majority of examined countries, there exist
 significant national differences in the occurrence of these effects.
 Moreover, such external effects influence the dynamics of total factor
 productivity in downstream sectors and appear as a relevant source of
 growth in modern economies. As such, the concept of pecuniary knowledge
 externalities, as opposed to pure knowledge externalities postulated in
 the new growth theory, provides a new understanding of the growth process.

Title: Are Innovation and Internationalization Related? An Analysis of European Countries 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the relationship between countries' international
 profile and their innovation performance using data for 32 European
 countries. The overall contribution of the paper lies in: (a) an in-depth
 exploration of empirical correlations between innovation and several
 indicators of internationalization; and (b) the use of theoretical
 arguments&#x2014;backed up by the literature&#x2014;on why the observed
 correlations are not spurious but indicative of possible causality.
 Indicators of internationalization are considered with respect to each
 country as aggregate, to its technology-intensive industries only, and in
 relation to the share of its firms reporting international activities. On
 the basis of the empirical results, and the theoretical arguments
 presented, the paper suggests that underpinning the association is a
 virtuous (or vicious) circle: innovative firms are more successful in
 competing internationally and the exposure to alternative business and
 innovation contexts leads to innovation.

Title: Social Foundations of Regional Innovation and the Role of University Spin-Offs: The Case of Canada's Technology Triangle 
Abstract:
  The goal of this paper is to explore the social foundations of regional
 innovation by analyzing the role of universities in promoting technology
 transfer and the creation of innovation networks. The argument put forward
 is that regional innovation benefits from, and is stimulated by,
 horizontal and vertical knowledge flows and trans-regional networks,
 enabling firms to benefit from wider knowledge transfers between old and
 new establishments, large and small operations, and within and across
 sectors. The empirical study focuses on the Kitchener and Guelph
 metropolitan areas, referred to as Canada's Technology Triangle (CTT),
 where a larger number of firms related to information technology (IT) have
 been successfully launched since the 1970s in the area surrounding the
 University of Waterloo. This research investigates to what degree these
 university spin-offs and start-ups have established regional networks in
 innovation, their level of dependence on global knowledge networks, and
 whether this dynamic has produced spillovers to other regional industries.

Title: Assessing China's Economic Catch-Up at the Firm Level and Beyond: Washington Consensus, East Asian Consensus and the Beijing Model 
Abstract:
  This paper takes a new Schumpeterian economics approach in examining
 firm-level technological catch-up strategies in China. We focus on the
 strategies for learning and gaining access to a foreign knowledge base. We
 also underline unique Chinese features, including forward engineering
 (i.e. the role of university spin-off firms) in contrast to reverse
 engineering, acquisition of technology and brands through international
 mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and parallel learning from foreign direct
 investment (FDI) to promote indigenous companies. These features comprise
 the Beijing model because they were not explicitly adopted by either Korea
 or Taiwan. At the macro and aggregate levels, we find that China follows
 the &#x201c;East Asian sequencing&#x201d; rather than the Washington
 Consensus. We also discuss several challenges facing China, such as design
 capabilities and localization of intermediate parts. We conclude that the
 Chinese industry will not remain a low-end original equipment manufacturer
 (OEM) economy but will rise to the level of high-end or brand producers.

Title: Changes in the French Defence Innovation System: New Roles and Capabilities for the Government Agency for Defence 
Abstract:
  Defence innovation systems are structured around two main groups of
 players that interact in the development of complex programmes: the state
 (the client and the government agency) and the systems integrators.
 Technological and institutional changes since the 1990s have affected the
 division of labour and knowledge in the industry. In this paper, we show
 the origins of these changes based on information derived from 45
 qualitative interviews conducted between 2000 and 2008, which demonstrate
 the new capabilities that have been created within the national innovation
 system (NIS). We explain how the role and the capabilities of the French
 Government Agency for Defence (Direction Generale de
 l'Armement&#x2014;DGA) have developed from &#x201c;project
 architect&#x201d; to &#x201c;project manager&#x201d;. These new
 capabilities create new interactions in the French defence innovation
 system and new roles for the DGA.

Title: Inter-Organizational Network Studies&#x2014;A Literature Review 
Abstract:
  Research on inter-organizational networks is generally fragmented which
 renders some of the studies incompatible and hinders a greater
 understanding and coherence of the field. The major
 distinction&#x2014;which is not clearly stated in most research&#x2014;is
 between the metaphorical description of some type of interaction across
 organizational boundaries, or whether the term refers to specific social
 structures between organizations. Whereas the metaphorical approach has
 previously dominated research, there has been a rise in the use of more
 structured and quantifiable research, most notably in the use of social
 network analysis. However, this has not been without serious theoretical
 and methodological issues. Most notably, a number of the concepts, methods
 and theories used within the field of inter-organizational networks
 originate from research in interpersonal and intra-organizational networks
 where some of the methodological issues (e.g. unit of analysis and
 boundary specification) are more easily addressed. In order to map the
 different methodological approaches in the field of inter-organizational
 networks, this paper presents a large-scale systematic literature review
 of the last 12 years' research on inter-organizational networks, with a
 focus on the methodological features. Some of the main variables relate to
 the unit of analysis, whether social network analysis is applied and what
 concept of a network is involved. The main findings of this paper are that
 few of the previous studies have used the full methodological (and thus
 theoretical) scope of the available data, the most cited papers and those
 appearing in top-ranked journals are more prone to using social network
 analysis than papers in general and there is a recent tendency among
 influential papers to go beyond a narrow application of social network
 analysis, and rely on multiplex relational data and whole networks.

Title: The Creation of High-Tech Entrepreneurial Ventures at the Local Level: The Role of Local Competences and Communication Infrastructures 
Abstract:
  This paper sheds light on the role of human capital for the creation of
 New Technology-Based Firms (NTBFs) in a geographical area. We relate NTBF
 creation to the local <italic>availability of</italic> human capital
 (<italic>local competences</italic>) and to the local
 <italic>accessibility of</italic> distant competences through
 <italic>communication infrastructures</italic>. We argue that local
 competences and communication infrastructures have a differential impact
 on NTBF creation in manufacturing and service industries due to the
 diverse productive characteristics of the sectors. In particular, we claim
 that local competences have a more positive effect on manufacturing,
 whereas communication infrastructures affect services more. Findings from
 the estimations of econometric models on the Italian provinces are in line
 with these predictions. The moderating effects of local economic and
 technological development on the inquired relationships are also
 considered. Whereas economic development seems to weaken the effect of
 local competences in manufacturing and reinforce that of communication
 infrastructures in services, technological development has no moderating
 effects.

Title: A Functional Perspective on Learning and Innovation: Investigating the Organization of Absorptive Capacity 
Abstract:
  We investigate the intra-organizational antecedents of firm-level
 absorptive capacity (AC). Specifically, we examine how the functional
 areas of R&D, manufacturing and marketing contribute to the absorption of
 knowledge coming from different external knowledge sources. The
 econometric results on a representative sample of Swiss firms show that
 non-R&D-based AC plays a significantly different role compared to the
 standard R&D-based one that is typically considered in studies on AC. We
 also reveal that AC is organized through a specialization of external
 knowledge absorption across functional areas. In particular, we find: (1)
 R&D is particularly important as an absorber of knowledge from public
 research organizations for product innovation; (2) manufacturing is
 important as an absorber of supplier knowledge for product innovation and
 of competitor knowledge for process innovation; and (3) marketing helps to
 absorb customer knowledge for product and process innovation as well as
 competitor knowledge for product innovation. We further investigate the
 differences between product and process innovation and find that
 marketing-based AC is more important for the former, although the overall
 analysis of these differences is less conclusive. In short, we show how
 functional areas play a role in the organization of AC and that firms may
 need an ambidextrous strategy to innovate effectively based on both
 upstream- and downstream-based AC.

Title: New HRM Practices and Exploitative Innovation: A Shopfloor Level Analysis 
Abstract:
  Extant research documents a positive relationship between the adoption of
 new human resource management (HRM) practices at the managerial and
 shopfloor level, and innovation performance, respectively. However,
 studies focusing on the managerial level distinguish between different
 types of innovation, while studies at the shopfloor level regard
 innovation as a homogenous activity. No previous studies have explicitly
 accounted for innovation heterogeneity in relation to the adoption of new
 HRM practices at the shopfloor level. Thus, it is still an open question
 whether and to what extent the findings at the managerial level apply to
 the shopfloor level. We address this question by focusing on the
 introduction of exploitative technological innovation and the adoption of
 new HRM practices at the firm's lowest hierarchical level. We suggest a
 positive relation between the two via the firm's productive capabilities
 as employees' ability and learning incrementally improve the firm's
 existing products and processes. Our argument is successfully tested on a
 sample of 166 Italian firms.

Title: The Impact of Social Capital on Ideation 
Abstract:
  This paper examines the impact of social capital on the quality of ideas
 generated by individuals at work. Two dimensions of social capital are
 investigated&#x2014;the degree (i.e. size) of individuals' networks of
 ideation relations, and the structural holes (i.e. gaps between nodes) of
 those relations. Previous research has presented different and even
 conflicting empirical results concerning the effect of structural holes on
 innovation activities, and has not dealt specifically with the ideation
 phase of the innovation process. By drawing upon an idea database from a
 Swedish company that has worked systematically with idea management for an
 extensive period, this study investigates the interrelationship between
 social capital and ideation. The empirical study reveals that the larger
 the size of an individual's ego network, the higher is this individual's
 innovative performance in terms of high-quality ideas, whereas the larger
 the number of structural holes in an ego network, the lower is the quality
 of ideas generated by the individual in question. These findings support
 the conclusion that social capital, in terms of individuals' relationships
 with fellow employees within firms, has a positive influence on
 idea-generating behavior. Moreover, the results reveal that the presence
 of structural holes is negative for ideation performance, thus providing
 important new input to the recent debate on the interrelationship between
 structural holes and innovation in general.

Title: Product and Process Innovations in Subcontracting: Empirical Evidence from the French &#x201C;Sillon Alpin&#x201D; 
Abstract:
  This paper investigates the role that subcontracting relationships
 (collaborative outsourcing vs. traditional subcontracting) can have on a
 subcontractor's ability to innovate in process and product. In order to
 measure the &#x201C;full&#x201D; impact of subcontracting relationships on
 innovation, we take into account the possible interaction between process
 and product innovations. The empirical test is based on 93 small firms
 operating in &#x201C;pure subcontracting industries&#x201D;. Using a
 bivariate probit model, we give evidence that process and product
 innovations are not independent choices. The test confirms the positive
 impact of collaborative outsourcing agreement on the subcontractor's
 probability to innovate whatever the type of innovation. Finally, the
 results show that process and product innovations are reinforced by
 different inter-organizational practices and tools as well as distinct
 absorptive capabilities. This suggests important implications for
 subcontractors' competitive position.

Title: Technology Innovation in Internationalising SMEs 
Abstract:
  This study investigates the potential effects of product flexibility and
 personal interaction on technology innovation in the realm of the foreign
 customer relationships of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The
 results of a linear structural relations (LISREL) analysis of 188
 relationships between Swedish SMEs and their foreign customers demonstrate
 that SMEs' product flexibility stimulates personal interaction in foreign
 customer relationships, which in turn enhances the firms' technology
 innovation. The findings suggest that personal interaction reinforces a
 trusting relationship and, thereby, facilitates processes by which the
 knowledge of the involved parties is combined into new technological
 solutions. Hence, we conclude that product flexibility and personal
 interaction with foreign customers are important strategic factors for
 SMEs' technological innovation in foreign markets.

Title: The Influence of Strategic Dynamic Capabilities on Organizational Outcomes through the Organizational Learning Process 
Abstract:
  In this research, we demonstrate the effects of transformational
 leadership capability on organizational outcomes by examining its
 intermediate influence on other capabilities, such as shared vision and
 teamwork cohesion. We also show how these capabilities affect the
 organizational learning process to improve organizational innovation and
 performance. Based on the literature, we develop a theoretical model that
 shows interrelations between these concepts. The hypotheses are tested
 using data collected from 408 CEOs in Spanish organizations. The paper
 provides several implications for future research.

Title: The Role of Behavioral Strategic Controls in Family Firm Innovation 
Abstract:
  This study investigates the role of behavioral strategic controls in the
 relationships between ownership, generational involvement and innovation
 in family firms. Drawing on social capital theory, we examine how family
 ownership and generational involvement influence the use of behavioral
 strategic controls, and how behavioral strategic controls in turn affect
 family firm innovation. We use multiple regression analysis to test our
 hypotheses in a sample of 124 managers from Taiwanese family firms. The
 results show that family ownership is significantly related to the use of
 behavioral strategic controls that, in turn, have a significantly positive
 effect on family firm innovation. However, the results also show that
 multi-generational involvement in a business is not significantly related
 to the use of behavioral strategic controls.

Title: Entrepreneurial Profit-Seeking: Socially Situating Opportunity Exploitation 
Abstract:
  The greatest contribution of the individual--opportunity nexus (ION)
 approach to entrepreneurship theory is the identification of the
 entrepreneurial function with the very action linking an individual to the
 opportunity he aims at appropriating. Nevertheless, this contribution
 remains incomplete, as current efforts have been mostly directed at
 understanding the occupational and the structural natures of the nexus
 components, that is, the individual and the organization of opportunity.
 This paper aims at further complementing the ION approach by emphasizing
 the actual nexus between individual and opportunity, namely, action. A
 praxeological approach based on methodological individualism and
 structurating analysis is developed to distinguish between entrepreneurial
 and non-entrepreneurial action according to the temporal nature of the
 socio-institutionally profit-seeking of agents involved with an
 enterprise. Entrepreneurship is therefore equated to the diachronic
 profit-seeking as manifest in the institutional structure of the
 enterprise.

Title: Eco-Innovation Through Integration, Regulation and Cooperation: Comparative Insights from Case Studies in Three Manufacturing Sectors 
Abstract:
  This paper analyses the role of integration of environmental aspects with
 corporate strategy in private firms as well as institutional factors
 relating to market demand, cooperation and regulation as antecedents for
 eco-innovations. Using a framework based on evolutionary economic
 concepts, the paper derives results from analysing nine case studies and
 finds that the realization of eco-innovation is often an activity
 originating at the micro-level that however requires simultaneous
 integration of environmental aspects with the overall corporate strategy.
 Furthermore, market demand is identified as a crucial driver of
 eco-innovation and regulation as a complementary institutional factor
 especially for the diffusion of eco-innovation. Ultimately, the paper
 identifies issues of path-dependency at the firm level that so far have
 been insufficiently taken into account by policymaking bodies.

Title: Path Dependence of Power Relations, Path-Breaking Change and Technological Adaptation 
Abstract:
  We study the path dependence of technological systems and power relations
 inside companies. While the existing literature suggests power relations
 and technology to be path dependent and influenced by each other,
 interactions across these evolutionary processes remain poorly understood.
 We studied the history of four retail firms over 40 years, applying event
 structure analysis to explicate key dynamics. Companies exhibited two
 episodes of converging path dependency, where power relations further
 increased technological inertia. In each case, power initially
 concentrated outside the central headquarters. Path-breaking change led
 all firms to centralize power and implement networked IT systems
 supporting central control. We discuss the ability of converging
 technological and organizational path dependencies to create competitive
 disadvantage. New widely available technological innovations can
 disadvantage a firm vis-&#xE1;-vis its competitors when the firm's
 established power structure prevents it from fully exploiting the
 innovation, and the path dependence of power relations prevents
 adaptation. Thus, company owners should create path-breaking disruptions
 in power relations when technological adoption provides value.

Title: The Conditional Impact of Competence Trust on Inter-Firm Learning in a Collectivist SME Context 
Abstract:
  This study investigates the interactive influence of competence and
 goodwill trust on inter-firm learning. The study examines whether goodwill
 trust moderates the relationship between competence trust and inter-firm
 learning. Although earlier research points to an additive effect of
 competence and goodwill trust on inter-firm learning, this study
 hypothesizes an interactive effect of the two trust types. The study's
 basic premise is that, in collectivist contexts characterized with a weak
 legal system, goodwill trust determines the efficacy of competence trust.
 Empirical tests of this hypothesis involve data collected from 158
 small-scale manufacturers of furniture located in Turkey. Initial
 empirical analysis shows that whereas goodwill trust has a positive main
 effect on inter-firm learning, competence trust does not. Introducing an
 interaction term reveals that competence trust positively influences
 inter-firm learning only when goodwill trust is high. Additionally,
 cluster analysis indicates that inter-firm learning is lowest when both
 competence trust and goodwill trust are low and highest when both forms of
 trust are high.

Title: Multinational Enterprises and the Geographical Clustering of Innovation 
Abstract:
  Research on the geographic clustering of economic activity dates back to
 the early twentieth century. It is recognized that in spite of advances in
 transportation and communications, clustering remains most critical, and
 is consequently prevalent, in knowledge-intensive fields. Multinational
 enterprises (MNEs) that increasingly base their value creation and
 competitive advantage on knowledge-intensive activities are key
 participants in clusters, affecting both the nature and intertemporal
 evolution of local innovative activities. However, the role of MNEs in
 clusters remains under-researched. This paper traces the origins of
 research on geographic clusters, identifies the seminal contributions
 focusing on the role of MNEs, discusses potential problems inherent to
 this area of inquiry and develops an organizing framework for new
 research.

Title: University Patenting in Germany before and after 2002: What Role Did the Professors' Privilege Play? 
Abstract:
  We examine ownership patterns of German university-invented patents
 before and after the abolition of the &#x201C;professors'
 privilege&#x201D; in 2002 to explore how the legal change affected
 patenting activities. We find no evidence of increased patenting
 activities after the reform. Our data moreover show a pronounced shift
 from individually owned and firm-owned patents to university-owned
 patents. Differences in inventors' patent experience help explain the
 variance in ownership patterns. Both experienced and inexperienced
 inventors are affected by the legal change.

Title: Innovation and Firm Growth: Is R&D Worth It? 
Abstract:
  The paper contributes to an emerging literature that critically questions
 the degree to which R&D, at the centre of national and transnational
 innovation policies, results in firm growth. The differences in how
 innovation affects firm growth is explored for small and large publicly
 quoted US pharmaceutical firms between 1950 and 2008. We observe that the
 positive impact of R&D on firm growth is highly conditional upon a
 combination of firm-specific characteristics such as firm size, patenting
 and persistence in patenting. For small firms, R&D boosts growth for only
 a subset of firms: namely, those that patent persistently for a minimum of
 five years. For large pharmaceutical firms, on the other hand, R&D may
 have a negative impact on growth; potentially resulting from the low R&D
 productivity these firms have suffered from since the mid-1990s. These
 results raise important issues around the R&D and firm growth relationship
 for small and large firms as well the role of <italic>persistence</italic>
 in innovation for boosting firm performance.

Title: I'll Find it Where I Can: Exploring the Role of Resource and Financial Constraints in Search Behaviour among Innovators 
Abstract:
  The search for new knowledge is often driven by problems that firms face
 in their innovative activities. Although a considerable effort has been
 made to explore the search for innovation, little attention has been
 placed on the concept of problemistic search. Indeed, there are only few
 studies that examine how the challenges that firms face in their
 innovation processes shape the nature and direction of their search
 activities. Using the Finnish Innovation Survey, this study explores the
 impact of different types of problems on the use of internal and external
 knowledge sources. The results show that firms under resource constraints
 tend to use external sources of knowledge in their search activities
 rather than internal ones. However, those firms who are constrained by
 finance tend to search both internally <italic>and</italic> externally.
 The paper explores the implications of these results for theory and future
 empirical research.

Title: Ambidexterity in Service Organizations: Reference Models from the Banking Industry 
Abstract:
  This paper reviews the literature on ambidexterity in service
 organizations with a specific focus on the banking industry. We identify
 three key, cross-unit bank processes: governance (bank headquarters),
 sales (branch processes) and operations (ICT and facilities to support
 local (branch) and inter-unit (headquarters-to-branch) tasks). We suggest
 a framework that incorporates three main &#x201C;reference models&#x201D;,
 from an organizational design perspective. Model 1 (exploitative model)
 applies when the bank's headquarters work to formalize branch sales
 processes supported by operations processes. Model 2 (exploratory model)
 applies when the bank's headquarters allows flexibility in branch sales
 processes and uses operations processes to decentralize tasks. Model 3
 (ambidextrous model) applies when a branch incorporates the
 characteristics of Models 1 and 2 simultaneously. We ground our claims
 using fieldwork conducted in 2004--2005 that involved a number of major
 Italian banks. We show that while large organizations, such as banks, base
 their ambidextrous innovation on organizational design, contextual
 elements such as trust and commitment, and management styles and
 leadership play a role in dealing with efficiency-oriented vs.
 flexibility-oriented tasks within the same bank branch.

Title: R&D vs. Other Factor Inputs in a High-Tech Industry 
Abstract:
  According to knowledge-based growth theories, catch-up with the global
 technology frontier calls for a shift from physical investment to
 innovation. This prevailing premise in Finland is tested with an
 unbalanced panel of firms in Finnish information and communications
 technology (ICT) manufacturing, over a period of rapid growth, 1990--2003.
 Stochastic frontier model estimation results are overwhelmed by scale
 elasticity associated productivity growth. Contrary to beliefs, R&D
 productivity was relatively low, regardless if measured by efficiency
 impacts of R&D intensity, technical change or R&D elasticity of output.
 Results are consistent with industry outcomes and reveal internal causes
 to the subsequent downfall of ICT manufacturing in Finland.

Title: Collaboration Intensity and Regional Innovation Efficiency in Germany&#x2014;A Conditional Efficiency Approach 
Abstract:
  Many case studies highlight a positive relationship between regions'
 innovation performance and the intensity of collaboration among regional
 organizations. However, few efforts have been made to analyze this
 relation with quantitative approaches. In addition to a theoretical
 discussion, the paper presents an empirical investigation on this issue
 utilizing conditional efficiency analysis and patent co-application data
 for the Electrics & Electronics industry in 270 German labor market
 regions. The results show that the relationship between regions'
 innovation performance and the intensities of regional as well as
 inter-regional collaboration take the form of an inverted-U shape. Regions
 with average regional and inter-regional collaboration intensities are
 found to outperform those characterized by extremely low, high or
 unbalanced collaboration behavior.

Title: Value Capture in the Global Electronics Industry: Empirical Evidence for the &#x201C;Smiling Curve&#x201D; Concept 
Abstract:
  This research asks who captures the greatest value in the global
 electronics industry by testing the concept of the &#x201C;smiling
 curve&#x201D;, which predicts that the greatest value is captured by
 upstream and downstream firms, and the lowest value is captured in the
 middle of the value chain. We test the concept using the Electronic
 Business 300 data-set for 2000--2005. We find that lead firms and
 component suppliers earn higher gross margins and net margins compared to
 contract manufacturers. However, the differences are minimal for return on
 assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). We also find that active
 component suppliers gain higher profits than passive component suppliers.
 These findings suggest that the smiling curve is right if value is defined
 in terms of gross margins, but the cost of sustaining a position on either
 end of the curve is so high that returns on investment are similar across
 the curve.

Title: Spatial and Non-spatial Proximities in Inter-firm Relations: An Empirical Analysis 
Abstract:
  This article describes a variety of combinations with regard to
 proximities (spatial and non-spatial) in inter-firm relations, and
 identifies their main determinants. The data employed come from a survey
 of more than 1,400 small and medium-sized firms in the Brittany region
 (France), which describe the relationship with their principal partner.
 Apart from spatial distance between partners, three forms of non-spatial
 proximity are identified&#x2014;cognitive, technological and
 organizational&#x2014;which are assessed in terms of their role in the
 relations. A typology of the relationships based on forms of proximity
 identifies a wide variety of configurations, which depend primarily on the
 nature of the relationship, and especially on the need for coordination.

Title: Network Capital, Social Capital and Knowledge Flow: How the Nature of Inter-organizational Networks Impacts on Innovation 
Abstract:
  This paper focuses on the role of inter-organizational networks as
 facilitators of knowledge flow and innovation. It introduces the concepts
 of network capital and network space to complement existing notions of
 social capital and geographic space as explanatory factors underpinning
 the impact of networks. Empirically, the paper analyses the
 inter-organizational networks of firms across three different regional
 settings. As well as finding significant differences across regions, the
 analysis also finds cross-regional commonalities in terms of the
 association between the innovation prowess of firms and the nature of
 their networks. In particular, it is found that the innovation performance
 of firms is significantly related to network capital investment in
 dynamically configured inter-organizational knowledge alliances. It is
 concluded that such findings may provide clues in terms of policy making
 in areas such as cluster and innovation system development, especially in
 supporting and orchestrating networks which have a clear strategic and
 calculative rationale.

Title: Firm Innovativeness across Cluster Types 
Abstract:
  We ask whether and what kind of unique factors influence the
 innovativeness of firms in clusters across geographic regions and
 industrial sectors. We provide evidence for the driving forces of firm
 innovativeness in different cluster types. Distinguishing between
 hierarchical clusters of mature industries and non-hierarchical clusters
 of young industries in North America and Europe, we analyze the effects of
 inter-firm cooperation, network strength, university linkages and
 intra-organizational characteristics in support of entrepreneurial
 intentions on firm innovativeness. We find that heterogeneity across
 cluster types is important and dominates other differences across
 countries.

Title: What Is Regional in Regional Clusters? The Case of the Globally Oriented Oil and Gas Cluster in Agder, Norway 
Abstract:
  This paper focuses on the question to what extent knowledge sources in
 regional clusters stimulate the innovation activity of cluster firms. In
 doing so we contribute to the literature by combining two analytical
 approaches: by (1) distinguishing firms dominated by different innovation
 modes; and (2) differentiating between inter-organizational linkages and
 open knowledge environments as two distinct knowledge sources. Based on
 data from the Agder equipment supplier industry we demonstrate that
 mobility of labour, local buzz and inter-organizational linkages are key
 regional knowledge sources, but clearly more so for some types of firms
 than others.

Title: Proximities and Logics Underlying Cluster Dynamics: The Case of the Ornamental Horticulture Cluster in Maine-et-Loire 
Abstract:
  While the issue of cluster dynamics has been poorly addressed in the
 literature, they actually display different levels of adaptability to
 change and different levels of collaboration. This contribution aims to
 address this theoretical issue through recourse to the literature on
 proximity. We analyse the modalities of coordination of organizations
 within clusters for the creation of localized specific assets. This paper
 develops the idea that cluster dynamics are governed by two relational
 logics: a professional and a historic. We show that those logics, each
 having positive and negative impacts on cluster dynamics, give rise to
 different ways of mobilizing categories of proximity as well as different
 ways of articulating them. Our case study shows that a major issue for
 clusters consists in combining both logics for building enduring
 competitive assets while staying able to adapt to changing competitive
 conditions.

Title: What Can CIS Data Tell Us about Technological Regimes and Persistence of Innovation? 
Abstract:
  This paper analyses the link between technological regimes and
 persistence in innovation at the firm level. It reviews the literature on
 persistence of innovation, measurement issues and technological regimes.
 It weighs up the advantages and disadvantages of using Community
 Innovation Survey (CIS) data in this debate. Technological regimes and
 innovation persistence are analysed with a balanced panel of around 4,000
 firms that responded to the latest three waves of the UK version of the
 CIS. Key explanatory variables include measures of appropriability,
 cumulativeness, technological opportunity and closeness to the science
 base. We find that certain links between type of industry and
 characteristics of technological regime are more appropriate for analysis
 using CIS data, whereas others remain problematic.

Title: IP Intermediaries in Europe: A Web Content Analysis 
Abstract:
  Transactions in intellectual property (IP) assets occur either directly
 or with the assistance of a third party. Focusing on the latter, this
 paper explores IP, notably patent, intermediaries in Europe. Previous
 research mainly focused on more developed IP markets such as the Unites
 States and Japan, and little attention was paid to IP specialist firms in
 the European market for technology. Using online publicly available data
 from IP firm directories, we describe the geography of IP intermediaries
 operating in Europe along with other functional characteristics. Applying
 a content analysis technique to the activities reported on IP
 intermediaries' websites, we derive information on their service offerings
 and degree of specialization. By examining IP intermediaries'
 characteristics, their services and the relationships between them, we
 discuss the co-evolution of IP intermediaries and the European market for
 technology. The limitations of the study and avenues for further research
 are presented finally.

Title: Knowledge Sourcing and Innovation in Austrian ICT Companies&#x2014;How Does Geography Matter? 
Abstract:
  Innovation is regarded as a highly open and interactive process, where
 companies absorb, generate and apply knowledge relying both on internal
 and external sources. They maintain links to various knowledge sources
 from local to global levels using particular channels for acquiring such
 knowledge. Although global knowledge networks might render the regional
 environment less important, we argue that geography still matters i) as
 location for innovation activities and ii) as multiscalar pattern of
 knowledge relationships. We investigate, therefore, to what extent firms
 are using particular knowledge sources from regional, national or
 international spatial levels, and to what extent their innovativeness can
 be explained by the knowledge sourcing pattern and their location. The
 paper draws on data from 110 ICT companies in three Austrian regions and
 uses both descriptive tools and multivariate models. The variety of
 knowledge sources used on regional as well as international levels and the
 engagement in R&D cooperations are identified as key factors for
 innovation in the ICT-sector, whereas company location had less direct
 effect.

Title: Assessing the Effects of International Trade on Private R&D Expenditures in the Food Processing Sector 
Abstract:
  This study empirically investigates the effects of imports and exports on
 private research and development (R&D) expenditures in the food processing
 sector. An analytical framework discussing the various effects of
 international trade on R&D activities is presented. This is followed by an
 empirical analysis that uses a dynamic empirical specification for current
 R&D expenditures and for a cumulative measure of R&D stock. The empirical
 investigation is applied to a panel dataset covering Organization for
 Economic Cooperation and Development's countries. The empirical results
 show that increases in import intensity levels induce reductions in
 private R&D expenditures whereas increases in export intensity levels
 promote larger private R&D expenditures. These outcomes imply that the
 R&D-enhancing effects of exports are countered by the R&D-reducing effects
 of imports.

Title: The Effects of National and International Interaction on Innovation: Evidence from the Irish CIS: 2004--06 
Abstract:
  This paper analyses the importance of decisions to interact nationally
 and internationally for the likelihood of process and product innovation
 in a sample of Irish firms. The key contribution is to provide an
 empirical test of the relative importance of geographically proximate
 versus distant interaction, using a two-step procedure to remove potential
 endogeneity in interaction decisions. In doing so it finds that
 <italic>only national</italic> and <italic>only international</italic>
 interaction have the expected positive effects on the probability of
 innovation, while engaging in <italic>both</italic> <italic>national and
 international</italic> interaction has no effect. The findings support
 hypotheses on the importance of both geographically proximate and distant
 interaction for innovation, though the lack of significance for
 <italic>both national and international</italic> interaction means there
 is no evidence to support the proposition that these forms of interaction
 are complementary.

Title: Do the Performances of Innovative Firms Differ Depending on Market-oriented or Technology-oriented Strategies? 
Abstract:
  Despite a perception to the contrary, the performances and values of
 innovative firms can differ. While people are preconditioned to believe
 that these firms perform well and have high valuations, this is not always
 the case. In order to explain this phenomenon, we adopt a lens of
 strategic orientations that influence innovation: market orientation and
 technology orientation. By using 10-year panel data, and a content
 analysis examining the relative orientations of our sample firms, we find
 that the market-oriented and technology-oriented tendencies of innovative
 firms influence firm performance and value. Relatively market-oriented
 innovative firms can guarantee instant performance by offering customers
 new products and services that they want. However, customers may not be
 loyal to one particular innovative firm. By contrast, relatively
 technology-oriented innovative firms are not subject to customers'
 fastidious choices and have higher firm values. Furthermore, environmental
 uncertainty negatively influences the relatively market-oriented
 innovative firms' value as well as sales performance.

Title: The Impact of a Radical Innovation on Business Models: Incremental Adjustments or Big Bang? 
Abstract:
  In this paper we study the impact of a radical technological innovation
 on business models. Do firms react by adjusting their business models
 incrementally, through iterative steps? Or do such innovations lead,
 instead, to a big bang of new innovative business models that are all
 adopted and experimented with by the industry? To answer these questions,
 we analyze the impact of digitization&#x2014;a radical
 innovation&#x2014;on business models in the recorded music industry. Using
 an economic analysis of the effects of digitization, we begin by building
 five potential digital business models for the music industry. Then, using
 data from a survey on a sample of French record companies, we map these
 record labels on our digital business models. Our analysis suggests that
 digitization has led to a big bang of business models in the music
 industry, rather than to incremental adjustments of the existing business
 model.

Title: External Knowledge and Innovation Performance in Clusters: Empirical Evidence from the Uruguay Software Cluster 
Abstract:
  The importance of geographic proximity for innovation has been widely
 stressed in the cluster literature. Yet, new insights from the
 inter-organisational network and cluster literatures underline the role of
 non-local linkages in enabling firms in networks to enhance learning and
 to innovate. This paper contributes to this literature by examining the
 importance of local and non-local knowledge networks for the innovation
 performance of firms in clusters. Our analysis is based on primary data
 from a survey of 95 software firms clustered in Montevideo, Uruguay. The
 results highlight that the most innovative firms in clusters heavily rely
 on non-local knowledge networks. Moreover, the number of indirect local
 ties to other firms is a better predictor of innovative performance than
 the number of direct local ties. Finally, our findings confirm the
 presence of knowledge gatekeepers in clusters and emphasise their role in
 enhancing innovation in clusters by absorbing knowledge from extra-cluster
 sources and diffusing it to other local firms.

Title: The Impact of Related Variety on Regional Employment Growth in Finland 1993--2006: High-Tech versus Medium/Low-Tech 
Abstract:
  This paper investigates the impact of related variety on regional
 employment growth in Finland between 1993 and 2006 by means of a dynamic
 panel regression model. We find that related variety in general has no
 impact on growth. Instead, after separating related variety among
 low-and-medium-tech sectors from related variety among high-tech sectors,
 we find that only the latter affects regional growth. Hence, we find
 evidence that the effect of related variety on regional employment growth
 is conditioned by the technological intensity of the local sectors
 involved.

Title: Scientists as Midwives to Cluster Emergence: An Institutional Work Framework 
Abstract:
  The question of how embedded actors can create institutions that support
 cluster emergence remains unsolved in the cluster and national innovation
 systems literature. The present paper extends the recent literature on
 institutional entrepreneurship and institutional work to solve this
 paradox of embedded agency in the context of science-based clusters.
 Building on a longitudinal single case study of a functional foods cluster
 in Finland, we present an institutional work framework for cluster
 formation. We argue that, in addition to ideational, material and bridging
 work, authentic leadership work is critical for cluster emergence. The
 results of the study highlight the opportunities that scientists have to
 act as midwives to cluster formation, but they also show that
 well-functioning clusters need a broader support base.

Title: Beyond Regional Clusters: On the Importance of Geographical Proximity for R&D Collaborations in a Global Economy&#x2014;the Case of the Flemish Biotech Sector 
Abstract:
  When internal knowledge bases are insufficient for developing
 innovations, companies tend to collaborate with external R&D partners.
 According to a long-standing literature on &#x201C;clusters&#x201D;,
 &#x201C;industrial districts&#x201D;, &#x201C;local production
 systems&#x201D; and &#x201C;regional innovation systems&#x201D;,
 geographical proximity between innovation partners is considered a
 precondition for inter-organizational collaborations: proximity is said to
 facilitate trust, the transfer of tacit knowledge and the intensity of
 interactions. This article investigates the importance of geographical
 proximity for R&D collaborations between biotech firms and their
 innovation partners. Are geographically close innovation partners likely
 to collaborate more intensely? Studies of the Flemish biotech industry
 shed light on this question. Regression analyses combined with qualitative
 interview data reveal that geographical proximity has become less
 important for inter-organizational collaborations. Owing to lower
 communication and transportation costs, innovation partners can easily
 collaborate even when they are not situated close to each other. This
 leads us to conclude that globalization transforms inter-organizational
 collaborations.

Title: India's National and Regional Innovation Systems: Challenges, Opportunities and Recommendations for Policy Makers 
Abstract:
  There is a need for continuous reforms in India's infrastructure,
 innovation culture and dynamic leadership to sustain the growth of
 innovation. The purpose of this empirical study is to gain a better
 understanding of India's innovation systems. A comprehensive analysis has
 been done on two levels: on both a national level and a regional level.
 First, the section about the national level explores and explains the
 challenges and opportunities of India's innovation capacity using a
 semi-structured questionnaire of the practitioners. Second, the section
 about the regional level discusses the clusters formed within India
 through a mapping of industrial firms, educational/research institutions
 and innovation parks. Both an empirical activity framework and a
 functional-based conceptual framework have been presented to highlight the
 themes of &#x201C;building-upgrading-promoting&#x201D; and
 &#x201C;democracy-culture-infrastructure&#x201D;. Finally, this paper
 makes a theoretical contribution by providing a conceptual framework for
 studying India's innovation system and giving recommendations to policy
 makers about sustaining the innovation.

Title: Reaching Out and Reaching Within: A Study of the Relationship between Innovation Collaboration and Innovation Performance 
Abstract:
  A large body of research has thoroughly discussed and examined
 agglomeration advantages for innovation of geographically concentrated
 firms. However, there is an increasing awareness that this intellectual
 tradition tends to overemphasize the role of geographic proximity in the
 transfer of knowledge between firms and to under-theorize the contribution
 of nonlocal knowledge flows. With a sample of 143 manufacturing firms from
 Singapore, this research attempts to answer three interrelated questions:
 (1) Does local networking effort provide firms with added value above and
 beyond what is available to them by just &#x201C;being there?&#x201D; (2)
 Does local collaboration contribute more to innovation performance than
 nonlocal collaboration? (3) What is the joint impact of local and nonlocal
 collaborations on innovation performance? We find that while local and
 nonlocal collaborations are statistically indistinguishable from each
 other in terms of their relative importance, they represent complementary
 spurs to innovation. Despite the unique research setting of Singapore as a
 city state, we argue that our findings may be generalizable to geographic
 systems in other parts of the world.

Title: Industrial Knowledge Bases as Drivers of Open Innovation? 
Abstract:
  The article presents an analysis of a large-scale survey with the aim of
 understanding differences in the open, interactive and distributed nature
 of external innovation relations amongst firms belonging to different
 industrial knowledge bases. The thesis is that the source of critical
 innovation relevant knowledge differs between industrial knowledge bases,
 making the character and the need of openness contingent on these
 specificities. Accordingly, we anticipate that we will observe systematic
 variations in how industries access and combine innovation-related
 external knowledge. In our analyses we attempt to address a gap in the
 literature by examining how industrial knowledge bases affect the
 recombination of knowledge by analysing the different extents, forms
 (formal and informal) and geography of inbound open innovation. The
 article illustrates that features and structures of inbound open
 innovation align, to a large extent, with the industries' knowledge bases
 and that there is a interplay between an industry's knowledge base, the
 internal organisation of innovation processes and the channels and
 geography of inbound open innovation.

Title: What Characterizes Firms' Academic Patents? Academic Involvement in Industrial Inventions in Sweden 
Abstract:
  This paper investigates the characteristics and importance of academic
 involvement in industrial invention processes by comparing firms' academic
 and non-academic patents. In contrast to previous research, this paper
 analyses firm-owned patents, which provides insight into the
 characteristics and relative importance of inventions resulting from
 university--industry collaboration. The empirical analysis in this paper
 is based on a database of Swedish academic patents. Our results indicate
 that academic involvement mainly takes place in inventions highly related
 to firms' technology bases. The findings moreover show that firms'
 academic patents, as compared to their non-academic patents, have lower
 importance in firms' core technological fields but higher importance in
 their marginal fields. We provide an interpretation of these results,
 suggesting that firm-owned academic patents largely result from
 &#x201C;demand pull&#x201D; rather than &#x201C;science push&#x201D; and
 that firms involve academics mainly for problem-solving activities in
 their core technological fields.

Title: Agglomeration Economies, Firms' Spatial Organization and Innovation Performance: Some Evidence from the French Industry 
Abstract:
  There is a consensus in economic geography concerning the positive
 influence of agglomeration economies on innovation. Usually this is
 captured through the type of area in which a firm's head office (HO) of
 the firm is located. But the location of the firm's other units could also
 have an impact on innovation. This article proposes to construct different
 spatial profiles of firms, based on the location of their HOs and other
 units in three distinct types of areas, defined according to their degree
 of agglomeration. The influence of these firms' spatial profiles on their
 propensity to innovate and innovation intensity is estimated, controlling
 for other determinants related to structural characteristics, the firms'
 relations with outsiders and with their competitive environment. This
 study uses a sample representative of the French manufacturing firms for
 the year 2006. The econometric results show various effects of
 multi-location on firms' innovation and highlight the importance of the
 units in the overall technological dynamic of firms.

Title: An Epistemological Perspective on Knowledge Transfers: From Tacitness to Capability and Reliability 
Abstract:
  One of the main difficulties in the social sharing of knowledge is
 attributed to the tacit quality of knowledge while the conditions for a
 successful transfer of propositional knowledge are overlooked. These
 require that the sender is capable, i.e. has sufficient incentives for
 acquiring true beliefs, and reliable, i.e. has sufficient incentives for
 truthfully communicating her beliefs. Focusing on the incentives in
 knowledge transfer reveals why some knowledge is more easily shared and
 what factors facilitate the transfer. Similarly, the reason for why some
 knowledge resists to be disseminated can in many cases be attributed to
 the lack of incentives rather than to tacitness.

Title: Overcoming Failure: Abandonments and Delays of Innovation Projects in SMEs 
Abstract:
  Innovation development is a very complex and risky activity that requires
 adequate financial resources and appropriate skills and knowledge. Due to
 the complexity of the development process, innovation project can be
 either delayed or abandoned. In this paper we investigate factors that
 make it possible for small and medium enterprises (SME) that experienced
 delays or abandonment to continue innovating. While in SMEs weak resources
 and capabilities contribute to occurrence of development problems, this
 study suggests that SMEs can enhance their efficiency to produce
 innovative output by improving their capabilities (external or internal).
 These capabilities augment the value of resources and can be acquired
 through external collaboration, non-technological innovation or former
 innovations. These capabilities have larger effect on the development of
 new services than on new products.

Title: Traditional Versus Heterodox Motives for Academic Patenting: Evidence from the Netherlands 
Abstract:
  This paper examines what motivates university researchers to patent the
 results of collaborative research with business firms. We provide evidence
 of the existence of a motivational academic patenting space comprising (i)
 an industry-driven domain related to traditional-market motives
 (protection of inventions that will be commercialized); (ii) a
 university-driven domain driven by various (&#x201C;heterodox&#x201D;)
 motives related mostly to signalling specific research competences and
 (iii) a &#x201C;hybrid&#x201D; publicly driven domain related to projects
 aligned to the research agendas of public sponsors. These three types of
 motivations reflect the connections between academic patenting and
 different types of innovation, and the roles of industry partners in
 proposing, financing and performing specific research projects. We use
 data from 16 in depth case studies of innovations developed by Dutch
 universities to provide preliminary empirical evidence of this typology of
 motivational spaces for patenting university knowledge.

Title: Environmental Innovations, Local Networks and Internationalization 
Abstract:
  This paper investigates the forces correlated with environmental
 innovations (EIs) introduced by firms in local production systems (LPS).
 The role of inter-firm network relationships, agglomeration economies and
 internationalization strategies is jointly analysed for a sample of 555
 firms in the Emilia--Romagna (ER) region (North-East Italy). Cooperating
 with a certain kind of local actors&#x2014;i.e. suppliers and
 universities&#x2014;is the most important EI driver for the investigated
 firms, along with their training coverage and their adoption of
 information and communication technologies. The role of agglomeration
 economies is instead less clear-cut. They spur EIs only in the presence of
 established LPS, with idiosyncratic sector specialization, while
 conversely they act as EI barriers. Networking effects and agglomeration
 economies are instead found to strongly promote the adoption of EIs by
 multinational firms, thus highlighting the importance of local--global
 interactions. Interesting specifications for these results are found for
 particular kinds of EIs, in such fields as CO<sub>2</sub> abatement and
 ISO labelling, generally extending the analysis of EI drivers by joining
 local and international factors. In addition, the role of regulatory
 sector factors confirms the induced innovation hypothesis and provides a
 robustness check to our results.

Title: The Relationship between Innovation and Market Share: Evidence from the Global LCD Industry 
Abstract:
	      We investigate the impact of technological capability on firm
 market share using technology investment data in the global
 thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal-display panel industry from 1999 to
 2007. The Arellano--Bond estimation of the dynamic panel model indicates
 that prior technological capability is positively correlated with current
 market share. The magnitude of this effect appears economically
 substantial: an improvement of technological capability by one standard
 deviation implied a permanent increase of 2.6 percent-point in quarterly
 market share, a return tantamount to $470 million in 2007 sales. The
 Granger test reveals that technological capability helps to predict future
 market share, but that the inverse is not true.

Title: New Technologies and Firm Organization: The Case of Electronic Traceability Systems in French Agribusiness 
Abstract:
	      This paper considers the relationship between the adoption of
 electronic traceability systems (ETSs) and the organization of firms. More
 precisely, it analyzes the respective roles of a firm's organizational
 structure, and organizational changes, in the process of ETS adoption in
 agribusiness. We use data from the French &#x201C;Organizational Changes
 and Computerization&#x201D; survey from 2006. We test a probit model to
 demonstrate the organizational structure and organizational changes
 underlying the firm's ETS adoption choice. Results show that ETS adoption
 is strongly favored by organizations with heavy hierarchical structures,
 standardized managerial practices and contractual mechanisms with external
 partners. This adoption process seems to coevolve with the organization:
 firms that implemented an ETS during the observed period (2003--2006) have
 experienced the most important organizational changes in terms of
 managerial practices, information systems and contractual relations, as
 well as the strengthening of the intermediate levels in the hierarchy.

Title: The Nature of Innovation in R&D- and Non-R&D-Intensive Service Firms: Evidence from Firm-Level Latent Class Analysis 
Abstract:
	      Innovation in services has been largely characterised by the
 predominance of non-technological innovation and low intensity in research
 and development (R&D) activities. However, most cross-industry analyses
 still overlook the organisational character of innovation in services. In
 this article, we use latent class analysis to examine the nature of
 innovation in 2148 firms from 20 service industries in Spain. On the basis
 of the analysis of 10 innovation types and 5 kinds of innovation
 activities, a taxonomy composed of 2 R&D-intensive and 2 non-R&D-intensive
 clusters is proposed. The findings indicate that organisational innovation
 counts for three of the four profiles, the new management techniques being
 the most common organisational innovation in all clusters. Furthermore,
 micro- and small-sized firms from several subsectors are more likely to be
 R&D-oriented than medium and large companies. The results underline the
 coexistence of different innovation patterns within the same industry as
 well as the predominance of hidden innovators in several industries.

Title: US Foreign Affiliates, Technology Diffusion and Host Country Human Development: Human Development Index versus Human Capital 
Abstract:
	      In this study, we use a cross-sectionally correlated and
 timewise autoregressive model and panel data for the period 1966--2000 to
 investigate human development as a measure of host country absorptive
 capacity in 30 developed and developing countries. The results suggest
 that technology diffusion from US foreign affiliates has a positive and
 significant impact on labor productivity only if host countries have a
 minimum level of human development. This condition may partially explain
 why previous studies show mixed support for the hypothesis that foreign
 affiliates have a positive effect on productivity in developing countries.
 Although the results have to be interpreted with caution, the policy
 implication is that human development enhances the capacity of countries
 to reap the benefits of foreign direct investments.

Title: The Effect of Boundary-Spanning Search on Breakthrough Innovations of New Technology Ventures 
Abstract:
	      This study expands the scope of research on knowledge search
 and innovation search by investigating the effect of boundary-spanning
 search behavior on breakthrough innovations of new ventures. Based on an
 environmental coalignment perspective, we argue that boundary-spanning
 search is a key activity for new ventures so that they can deal with
 different market forces to enhance their breakthrough innovations. Most of
 the hypotheses proposed are supported by the results of a survey of 227
 ventures in the high-technology zone of Shenzhen. We found that
 boundary-spanning search is not only associated positively with
 breakthrough innovations of new ventures but also plays a significant role
 in influencing the effect of market forces on both types of innovations.
 This paper offers insight into the way in which new ventures can achieve
 both market innovations and technological innovations through different
 types of boundary-spanning search. Furthermore, this study argues that
 boundary-spanning search is an important tool that enables new ventures to
 create more innovative performance under competitive environments.

Title: Building and Sustaining a Product Differentiation Advantage Through a Community-Focused Strategy 
Abstract:
	      An important reason people join communities is to satisfy
 their identity needs. Firms might exploit this societal tendency to gain
 competitive advantages and thus stronger economic profits than rivals. By
 reviewing the strategic approach adopted by Kiehl's, a U.S. cosmetic
 producer and retailer, this study investigates a potential mechanism by
 which firms interact with communities to build a product differentiation
 advantage. Because it adheres to and supports a well-defined set of
 values, Kiehl's not only achieves community membership and gains
 legitimacy but also strengthens the sense of identity that the relevant
 communities provide to members. These investments prompt reciprocal
 community member behaviors, which the company channels into its customer
 knowledge development process. Finally, this study describes how
 firm--community interactions protect the firm's differentiation advantage
 by turning its products into symbols of the communities to which Kiehl's
 customers belong.

Title: Service Innovativeness and Innovation Success in Technology-based Knowledge-Intensive Business Services: An Intellectual Capital Approach 
Abstract:
	      This paper analyzes the influence of the three components of
 intellectual capital (human, social and organizational) and intensity in
 collaboration with clients on service innovativeness in
 knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS). It also includes a
 discussion on the impact of both service innovativeness and intensity in
 collaboration with clients on innovation success. An empirical study is
 conducted on a sample of companies belonging to two technology-based KIBS
 industries: software and R&D services. The results suggest that the
 positive effect of human capital on service innovativeness is moderated by
 intensity in collaboration with clients, being human capital enhanced by
 organizational and social capital. The effect of social capital on service
 innovativeness is partially mediated by human capital and also moderated
 by intensity in collaboration with clients. Finally, service
 innovativeness positively affects innovation success, while intensity in
 collaboration with clients has a higher effect.

Title: Social Capital and Effective Innovation in Industrial Districts: Dual Effect of Absorptive Capacity 
Abstract:
	      This paper deals with the factors that affect the
 heterogeneity in the access to knowledge and its exploitation through
 innovation in firms located in industrial districts. The aim of the study
 is to analyze the moderating role of the components of the absorptive
 capacity -- identification and combination -- in the process that leads
 firms in industrial districts with social capital to obtain effective
 innovations through the knowledge acquisition. We have developed the
 empirical analysis on a sample of 166 firms located in the industrial
 districts of the footwear industry in Spain. Findings suggest that the
 firms in industrial districts improve the acquisition of novel and
 valuable knowledge from external networks of information when they have
 identification capabilities to explore their potential. The results also
 indicate combinative capability strengthens the acquired new knowledge to
 develop and exploit successful innovations.

Title: Multiplexity, Growth Mechanisms and Structural Variety in Scientific Collaboration Networks 
Abstract:
	      A substantial body of literature has recently been concerned
 with the structure and dynamics of the collaboration networks that
 underlie the production and dissemination of scientific knowledge. Despite
 the growing interest in these networks, relatively little emphasis has
 been placed on two broad areas of investigation: on the one hand, the
 interplay of the growth mechanisms underpinning the evolution of
 collaborative arrangements; on the other, the implications that the
 structure and multiplexity of these arrangements have on knowledge
 creation and diffusion. The articles in this Special Issue aim to bridge
 these gaps in the literature and, by embracing a variety of perspectives,
 contribute towards a better understanding of how collaboration networks
 originate, function, and evolve. This Introduction offers a theoretical
 and methodological framework for the articles here included. It begins by
 discussing problems of measurement of scientific collaboration, and goes
 on to examine the role that growth mechanisms, structural variety and
 multiplexity play in shaping the genesis and functioning of collaboration
 networks. In reviewing current and emerging research themes, the
 discussion will also identify promising research directions that will
 stimulate future work on collaboration networks in science and technology.

Title: Small Worlds in Networks of Inventors and the Role of Academics: An Analysis of France 
Abstract:
	      Using data on patent applications at the European Patent
 Office, we examine the structural properties of networks of inventors in
 France in different technologies. We find that the higher the presence of
 inventors from universities and public research organizations (PROs), the
 more likely the networks are to exhibit small world properties. University
 and PRO inventors contribute to reduce average path length insofar they
 are more mobile (across applicants) than other inventors, thus linking up
 otherwise disconnected cliques. We achieve these results by implementing
 an original methodology for detecting small world properties in one-mode
 projections of two-mode graphs.

Title: Modelling Multiple Interactions in Science and Technology Networks 
Abstract:
	      Empirical studies have shown that the extent of innovation
 diffusion is greatly affected by the structure of the network in which
 innovation processes take place. This contribution aims to identify the
 complex structure of relationships at the basis of knowledge and
 innovation diffusion among actors from various organizations (&#xFB01;rms,
 academic and research institutions) in a given territory. A multiplex
 approach is proposed to explain co-authorship and co-invention interaction
 among Author--Inventors community in a specific geographic area. To this
 end, we carry out a case study of the Trieste area (North-East Italy),
 characterized by a very high concentration of research organizations and
 by the emergence of a lively sector of small R&D firms.

Title: Follow the (Industry) Money -- The Impact of Science Networks and Industry-to-University Contracts on Academic Patenting in Nanotechnology and Biotechnology 
Abstract:
	      We investigated the factors influencing an academic's
 propensity to patent and the quality of patenting in nanotechnology and
 biotechnology. We found that a university researcher is more likely to be
 listed as an inventor of a patented innovation, regardless of the
 assignee, if he receives private funding, has a fairly high level of
 cliquishness in the scientific network and has shown a prior capacity to
 successfully collaborate with industry, a concept that we named innovation
 loops. Furthermore, citation rate and number of claims, which are used to
 represent patent quality, are influenced by factors similar to those
 explaining patent quantity.

Title: Research Collaboration Networks in Biotechnology: Exploring the Trade-Off Between Institutional and Geographic Distances 
Abstract:
	      This paper investigates the relationship between spatial and
 institutional distances in research collaboration networks using data on
 co-authorship in scientific publications in the Italian
 &#x201C;red&#x201D; biotech sector. Specific tools of social network
 analysis complemented by multivariate analysis are used to show that there
 is a trade-off between institutional and geographic distances whatever the
 nature of the knowledge exchanged, namely the degree to which knowledge is
 basic or applied. However, the levels of geographic and institutional
 distances substantially differ across basic and applied research networks.
 Measures of the intensity of relationships are also considered in the
 analysis.

Title: Explaining the Structure of Inter-Organizational Networks using Exponential Random Graph Models 
Abstract:
	      A key question raised in recent years is what factors
 determine the structure of inter-organizational networks. Most research so
 far has focused on different forms of proximity between organizations,
 namely geographical, cognitive, social, institutional and organizational
 proximity, which are all factors at the dyad level. However, recently,
 factors at the node and structural network levels have been highlighted as
 well. To identify the relative importance of factors at these three
 different levels for the structure of inter-organizational networks that
 are observable at only one point in time, we propose the use of
 exponential random graph models. Their usefulness is exemplified by an
 analysis of the structure of the knowledge network in the Dutch aviation
 industry in 2008, for which we find factors at all different levels to
 matter. Out of different forms of proximity, only institutional and
 geographical proximity remains significant once we account for factors at
 the node and structural levels.

Title: Job Mobility, Patent Ownership and Knowledge Diffusion: Evidence on a Sample of Italian Inventors 
Abstract:
	      On the basis of the original data on the <italic>curricula
 vitae</italic> of a group of Italian inventors patenting in the
 pharmaceutical field, this paper distinguishes between inventors'
 employers and applicants, and provides new information on their
 professional careers and their patent ownership regimes, that is whether
 or not intellectual property rights on inventions are retained by their
 employers. In addition, the paper confirms that inventors' mobility is an
 important determinant of knowledge impact and, interestingly, shows that
 ownership, too, is associated with a greater potential for knowledge
 diffusion.

Title: Sound Affects: Competing with Quality in the Swedish hi-fi Industry 
Abstract:
	      Traditionally, literature on competitiveness has focused on
 innovation in networks and/or embedded in local/regional milieus. This
 paper examines the concept of quality and quality processes as an
 additional way of understanding the competitiveness of small and highly
 niched industries. In the theoretical framework, applied on the Swedish
 hi-fi industry, quality is identified as a promise and divided into three
 dimensions labelled 'performance', 'projection' and 'protection'. The
 quality framework provides a useful tool for analysing measurable and
 non-measurable aspects of quality sound and sound reproduction. Also, it
 is argued that competitiveness is stimulated when a product is associated
 with one of the quality dimensions and when a strong quality perception is
 inherent throughout the production network. Moreover, we find that quality
 processes are spatially embedded and that location facilitates both
 place-based branding and localised learning.

Title: Performance Effects of Exploratory and Exploitative Innovation Strategies and the Moderating Role of External Innovation Partners 
Abstract:
	      In today's dynamic environment, the involvement of external
 partners in the innovation process is frequently assumed to be a panacea
 to cut costs while improving outcomes. In this study, we scrutinize how
 different collaboration types influence the effects of exploitative and
 exploratory innovation strategies on new product development (NPD)
 performance. For our analyses, we draw on a survey comprising a sample of
 254 technology-based German firms. Our findings indicate that exploitative
 strategies are best pursued without comprehensive external collaborations,
 while the involvement of several partners in a balanced approach is most
 promising for exploratory strategies. Joint exploration with competitors,
 in particular, shows the highest effects on NPD performance. The paper
 discusses the findings and provides several implications for future
 research.

Title: Networks of Clusters: A Governance Perspective 
Abstract:
	      This paper aims to further our emerging knowledge on the
 external linkages of regional clusters. We adopt a network governance
 perspective and study connected clusters as goal-directed, multilevel
 whole networks that we denote as 'cluster networks.' Based on an analysis
 of four empirical cases varying in regional scope, age and industry
 context, we identify two governance forms: <italic>internally governed
 cluster networks</italic> are formed to establish ties among cluster
 representative organizations to share knowledge and pool resources on
 selected activities; <italic>externally governed cluster networks</italic>
 are formed to systematically develop cross-cluster ties and competences on
 and across levels and are brokered by a central intercluster
 administrative organization as well as several decentralized lead
 organizations. Our findings show that cluster connectivity can go beyond
 organization-based pipelines and personal relationships to include
 clusters as governed entities, albeit with different intensities regarding
 the brokerage of ties on lower levels.

Title: Academic Patenting in Europe: A Reassessment of Evidence and Research Practices 
Abstract:
	      European universities and public research organizations
 (PROs) contribute substantially to their countries' overall inventive
 activity, but are far from being exclusive owners of the related
 intellectual property. Business companies and, to a lesser extent,
 individuals appear to play a major, sometime dominant role. This special
 issue offers a selection of papers addressing issues of measurement,
 commercialization, and ownership of such academic patents in Europe.
 Measuring the extent of the phenomenon requires identification of the
 academic inventors, a data-mining operation that imposes technical as well
 as procedural challenges for social scientists. The heterogeneity of
 ownership models poses the question of whether ownership is related to the
 patents' quality and/or successful commercialization. Further questions
 concern the identity and business models of firms holding academic patents
 in their portfolios, and the economic and legal factors that explain a
 university's or PRO's choice of whether to maintain the intellectual
 property of its staff's inventions. The papers in this special issue
 discuss these topics at length and rely on data collected following a
 joint methodology, made available to readers for use and extension.

Title: Academic Inventions Outside the University: Investigating Patent Ownership in the UK 
Abstract:
	      This paper investigates the ownership of academic patents for
 a sample of UK academics and challenges the existing definition of the
 university invention ownership model. The first descriptive results show
 that 50 per cent of patents are owned by industry; however, 37 per cent of
 these firm-assigned patents are in fact owned by university spin-offs. We
 investigate how university policy and funding acquisition impacts industry
 versus university ownership, and find that funding from large firms
 predicts involvement in patenting and, to a lesser extent, firm ownership.
 University ownership of academic patents is more likely the higher the
 amount of funding coming from SMEs, and at universities that outsource the
 filing of patents. Spin-off patents occupy an intermediate position
 showing strong similarities to both firm and university patents.

Title: University Autonomy, the Professor Privilege and Academic Patenting: Italy, 1996--2007 
Abstract:
	      Using data on patent applications at the European Patent
 Office, we search for trends in academic patenting in Italy, 1996--2007.
 During this time, Italian universities underwent a radical reform process,
 which granted them autonomy, and were confronted with a change in IP
 legislation, which introduced the professor privilege. We find that
 although the absolute number of academic patents has increased, (i) their
 weight on total patenting by domestic inventors has not, while (ii) the
 share of academic patents owned by universities has more than tripled. By
 means of a set of probit regressions, we show that the conditional
 probability to observe an academic patent has declined over time. We also
 find that the rise of university ownership is explained, significantly
 albeit not exclusively, by the increased autonomy of Italian universities,
 which has allowed them to introduce explicit IP regulations concerning
 their staff's inventions. The latter has effectively neutralized the
 introduction of the professor privilege.

Title: When Do Universities Own Their Patents? An Explorative Study of Patent Characteristics and Organizational Determinants in Germany 
Abstract:
	      University-invented patents are often not owned by the
 university. Empirical knowledge about factors affecting the ownership of
 university patents is limited and mainly focuses on patent
 characteristics. To study how the ownership of German university patents
 (2006--2007) relates to patent and university-level performance
 indicators, we matched PatStat data with a register of German professors.
 Four to five years after the abolition of the professors' privilege,
 universities on average owned more than half of all patents on faculty
 inventions. General and technical universities differ in how patent
 ownership relates to patent and university characteristics.

Title: Academic Inventors, Scientific Impact and the Institutionalisation of Pasteur's Quadrant in Spain 
Abstract:
	      We rely on a novel database of Spanish author-inventors to
 explore the relationship between the past patenting experience of academic
 authors and the scientific impact (citations received and journal
 prestige) of scientific articles published during 2003--2008 in journals
 listed in SCOPUS. We also study how such a relationship is affected by
 differences across academic affiliations, distinguishing between public
 universities and different types of non-university public research
 organisations. Our econometric estimations show that scientific impact is
 positively associated with having authors with past patenting experience
 as inventors at the European Patent Office. Exceptions are the articles of
 authors affiliated to new independent public research centres, not tied to
 the civil service model and oriented to do research that is both excellent
 and use-inspired. These are also on average the most cited articles.

Title: The Impact of Academic Technology: Do Modes of Involvement Matter? The Flemish Case 
Abstract:
	      Patent statistics that reflect university technology
 development have become increasingly relevant as academia adopts
 entrepreneurial objectives while facing a trend toward more
 accountability. In this contribution, we focus on the patent activity of
 Flemish universities (period 1991--2001). In Flanders, university
 patenting has become explicitly incentivized through policy measures
 (1996) and more recently even resource allocation schemes are resulting in
 a notably high share of universities in the overall patent portfolio of
 the regional innovation system. As a result, one might expect inflationary
 effects on the level of academic patents, especially in terms of quality.
 In addition, we analyze whether the impact of academic patents depends on
 the mode of university involvement (university-invented vs
 university-owned). Overall, we observe a considerable increase in both
 types of academic patenting without any deterioration (over time) of
 citation rates. Moreover, our findings indicate that university-owned
 patents receive more forward citations than university-invented
 (firm-owned) patents. Combined, these findings signal that the increase of
 academic patent activity--stimulated by policies granting ownership rights
 to universities--did not coincide with a decrease in their value.

Title: Academic Inventors, Technological Profiles and Patent Value: An Analysis of Academic Patents Owned by Swedish-Based Firms 
Abstract:
	      This paper analyses the relationship between academic
 inventors and firms, focusing on the relation between academic inventors,
 the technological profiles of firms and patent value. In particular, this
 paper focuses on the value of academic patents as compared to non-academic
 patents, owned by large firms based in Sweden. One finding is that
 academic patents have a short-term disadvantage, which disappears in the
 long term. Our results also indicate that controlling for whether the
 patent belongs to a core or non-core technology relative to the firm's
 technological profile neutralizes the premium of non-academic patents. In
 other words, patents belonging to firms' core technologies have
 significantly higher value, regardless of whether they are academic or
 non-academic patents. The above results indicate that the technological
 profile of firms is an important characteristic to analyse, when examining
 the value of academic patents and the specific role that academics play in
 industrial invention.

Title: What Determines University Patent Commercialization? Empirical Evidence on the Role of IPR Ownership 
Abstract:
	      This paper addresses the commercialization of academic
 patents, developed in both universities and public research organizations
 (PROs). We distinguish between university-owned and university-invented
 patents to analyze if and how patent ownership affects the probability of
 commercialization and, similarly, if the characteristics of national
 university intellectual property right (IPR) regimes correlate with it. We
 study three commercialization channels--sales, licensing and spin-off
 formation--appearing in a sample of 858 university and PRO patents filed
 with the European Patent Office between 2003 and 2005 across 22 countries.
 To analyze differences in commercialization outcomes, this study employs a
 multivariate probit model. The results suggest that PRO ownership is
 negatively associated with the likelihood of selling the patent and
 creating an academic spin-off; university ownership positively affects the
 patent's licensing uses. Finally, the institutional IPR regime has a
 negative effect on the probability of selling a patent.

Title: Environmental Dynamism, Firm Size and the Economic Productivity of R&D 
Abstract:
	      The effects of firm size on innovative activity have been
 extensively debated in the literature, with generally inconclusive
 results. This study poses a contingent framework in which environmental
 dynamism moderates the effects of firm size on the returns to research and
 development (R&D) investments. We hypothesize that dynamic environments
 favor small firms, as they reward organizational flexibility and promote
 the development of the markets for technology. Empirical evidence obtained
 on a sample of Spanish manufacturing firms shows that technological, but
 not market, dynamism negatively moderates the effects of firm size on the
 economic productivity of R&D, thus contributing to the success of research
 efforts by small firms vis-�-vis those of larger corporations.

Title: Determinants and Specificities of Eco-Innovations Compared to Other Innovations--An Econometric Analysis for the French and German Industry Based on the Community Innovation Survey-super-1              
Abstract:
	      Many recent papers deal with exploring and explaining the
 determinants of eco-innovations for different countries supporting the
 formulation of efficient policy measures to trigger eco-innovation
 activities of firms. Unfortunately, there is still a lack of econometric
 cross-country analyses allowing recognizing common cross-country
 determinants, but also country-specific characteristics of
 eco-innovations. Based on data from the fourth Community Innovation Survey
 for France and Germany, the present paper contributes to fill this gap.
 Using a fully harmonized econometric model for the two countries, we are
 able to detect remarkable similarities concerning the different
 determinants of eco-innovations despite differences in the national
 innovation systems. The results confirm the central role of regulation and
 cost savings as motivations for eco-innovations compared to other
 innovations. Furthermore, eco-innovative activities seem to require more
 external sources of knowledge and information. Due to the respective
 regulation, in France, universities as cooperation partners seem to be
 more important compared to Germany.

Title: Offshoring and Improvisational Learning: Empirical Insights into Developing Global R&D Capabilities 
Abstract:
	      This study examines how global research and development (R&D)
 capabilities develop through improvisational learning. Using empirical
 insights from two large Swedish multinational companies and their early
 learning from establishing a captive R&D offshore unit in Bangalore,
 India, we use multicase inductive analysis to identify how companies cope
 with challenge related to coordinating R&D across geographically dispersed
 units through improvisational learning. Using a cooperative stage model
 analysis, we explain how improvisational learning occurs during the setup,
 start-up and ongoing stages of establishing captive R&D offshoring
 operations. We find that improvisational actions lead to developing
 routines as a response to solving unexpected coordination challenges and
 help explain how global R&D capabilities develop.

Title: Growth in Knowledge-Intensive Business Services: Evidence from Lombardy 
Abstract:
	      This paper studies the growth patterns in knowledge-intensive
 business services (KIBS) in Lombardy on the basis of original firm-level
 survey data. The aim is to investigate in particular the role of and
 interplay between age and size of firms and the modes of innovation in the
 process of growth. Our findings indicate that younger firms tend to
 outperform incumbents for sales growth and that larger firms tend to grow
 more than smaller companies. However, the effects of firm size and age
 vary substantially according to the firm's specific pattern of innovation.
 In particular, highly innovative firms tend to outperform competitors
 regardless of their age or size, while for conservative KIBS, size is a
 prerequisite for growth. Investment in human capital and the service
 distribution network are important drivers of competition for growing
 KIBS.

Title: Open Strategies and Innovation Performance 
Abstract:
				 Scholarly interest in the relationship
 between open strategies and innovation performance has been unfailing, and
 in recent years has even increased. The present paper focuses on inbound
 open strategies and reviews various approaches (transaction costs,
 competences, open innovation) dealing with firms' decisions about these
 strategies. The different approaches result in different conclusions about
 the optimum level of openness. They are tested empirically taking account
 of the different degrees of firms' openness (closed, semi-open, open,
 ultra-open) and their relationship with sales of new-to-the-market
 products, and using a panel of Spanish firms from a Community Innovation
 Survey type survey for the period 2004--2008. Our results show that closed
 and semi-open strategies are the most common among Spanish firms and that
 open strategies are associated with the best performance, while semi-open
 strategies are correlated to a higher performance than closed ones. These
 results hold across different subsamples based on firm size and industry,
 and are robust to different ways of defining the indicators and to
 different estimation methods.

Title: Business Cycles and Investment in Productivity-Enhancing Activities: Evidence from Spanish Firms 
Abstract:
				 This paper tests the opportunity-cost
 theory on the long-run effects of business cycles using a panel of Spanish
 firms during the period 1991--2010. Under this theory, the
 <italic>share</italic> of productivity-enhancing activities (PEAs), such
 as R&D investment or on-the-job training, relative to production
 activities should increase during downturns because of the fall in their
 relative cost -- in terms of forgone output. This would imply that
 business cycles may have a (positive) long-term impact on firms'
 productivity growth. In the spirit of Aghion <italic>et al.</italic>
 (2008), we allow the impact of the cycle on PEA to vary between firms with
 different access to external funding. We find that, in accordance with the
 opportunity-cost approach, the <italic>share</italic> of R&D investment
 and training expenditures on total investment outlays follow a
 countercyclical pattern, which in the case of R&D may be reversed by the
 presence of credit constraints. However, the share of investment in other
 non-R&D-related intangible investments is found to be acyclical, which
 could suggest some kind of substitution across different PEAs over the
 cycle.

Title: Regional and Global Technological Knowledge Search Strategies and the Innovative Performance of Large Multinational Corporations 
Abstract:
				 This study focuses on the innovative
 performance implications of large MNCs' regional and global technological
 knowledge search strategies. In networked MNCs, the parent can still offer
 valuable knowledge to subsidiaries. The parent's and a subsidiary's
 knowledge becomes complementary if an MNC appropriately adopts a global
 strategy at the parent level and a regional strategy at the subsidiary
 level. An analysis of the world's largest firms in the Electrical
 Equipment industry shows that, in general, a global strategy improves the
 innovative performance of the MNC. Meanwhile, only the combination of a
 global strategy at the parent level and a regional strategy at the
 subsidiary level is positively associated with the innovative performance
 of the MNC. This study contributes to the literature on networked MNCs and
 the debate of globalization and regionalization. Managerial implications
 are discussed as well.

Title: The Influence of Micro-Characteristics in Different Modes of Globalization of Innovation: A Comparative Study of Indian (Pune) and Chinese (Beijing) Firms 
Abstract:
				 Since the seminal work of Archibugi and
 Michie (1995) on the globalization of innovation, several authors have
 attempted to understand the complex relationship between innovation and
 internationalization. However, most tend to focus on industrialized
 countries, just one mode of globalization of innovation and often one
 traditional indicator of innovation, such as patents or R&D investment,
 thus ignoring the complexity and multiple aspects of the phenomenon. This
 paper explores empirically the linkages between different modes of
 globalization of innovation and firms' micro-characteristics in two of the
 fastest growing emerging economies. We analyze three distinct modes of
 globalization of innovation: the global exploitation of innovation, the
 global sourcing of technology and global research collaboration. We then
 use primary data from Chinese and Indian firms belonging to three sectors
 (automotive components, software and green biotech) to explore the
 differences in the ways in which the firms located in these two economies
 globalize their innovatiton activities.

Title: Formal and Informal Knowledge and Technology Transfer from Academia to Industry: Complementarity Effects and Innovation Performance 
Abstract:
				 Literature has identified formal and
 informal channels in university knowledge and technology transfer (KTT).
 While formal KTT typically involves a legal contract on a patent or on
 collaborative research activities, informal transfer channels refer to
 personal contacts and hence to the tacit dimension of knowledge transfer.
 Research is, however, scarce regarding the interaction of formal and
 informal transfer mechanisms. In this paper, we analyze whether these
 activities are mutually reinforcing, i.e., complementary. Our analysis is
 based on a comprehensive data-set of more than 2,000 German manufacturing
 firms and confirms a complementary relationship between formal and
 informal KTT modes: using both transfer channels contributes to higher
 innovation performance. The management of the firm should therefore strive
 to maintain close informal relationships with universities to realize the
 full potential of formal KTT.

Title: Social Networks and Cultural Mediators: The Multiplexity of Personal Ties in Publishing 
Abstract:
				 This study explores the relational and
 affective aspects of personal ties of cultural mediators by means of
 in-depth interviews with Dutch book publishers. Through examining the
 affective side of publishers' personal networks, we contribute to
 understanding the role of cultural mediators--those in-between artists and
 consumers--and how they deal with the tensions between and the integration
 of culture and commerce in increasingly concentrated markets. Informal
 networking is not primarily based on sociality ties and mutual exchange,
 as is often assumed; instead, publishers use informal contacts to keep an
 eye on each other, they share communalities with authors in more private
 settings and they exchange specific content in more formal ways. Personal
 ties involve different loyalties and motives which elevate or increase
 tensions between career and conglomerate and between culture and commerce.
 We critically employ Grabher's typology to get more understanding of how
 cultural mediators deal with these tensions and the integration of culture
 and commerce and the creation of value. By moving beyond dichotomies of
 emotion--business and culture--commerce, we aim to contribute to a more
 nuanced understanding of the role of both networks and place in cultural
 industries.

Title: Innovation Strategies: Are Knowledge-Intensive Business Services Just Another Source of Information? 
Abstract:
				 The objective of this paper is to
 contribute to the empirical literature on innovation strategies and
 services, by analysing the use of knowledge-intensive services, and their
 impact on innovation, in manufacturing firms. The analysis is carried out
 at the firm level, on the basis of a survey covering 804 manufacturing
 establishments in the Province of Quebec (Canada). We investigate the
 extent to which existing internal capabilities and their interaction with
 external sources of knowledge, in particular the use of
 knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS), affect the level of
 innovativeness of manufacturing firms. Then we examine the extent to which
 different innovation strategies, and the way KIBS are integrated into
 these, are associated with innovation. We show that manufacturing firms
 adopt a variety of innovation strategies, none of which preclude
 innovation, even introverted strategies whereby firms interact little with
 outside agents. However, those strategies that incorporate KIBS have a
 considerably greater chance of leading to innovation.

Title: Overcoming Undesirable Knowledge Redundancy in Territorial Clusters 
Abstract:
				 This work analyzes the existence of
 redundant knowledge associated with geographic networks of firms.
 Specifically, our research focuses on how firms can avoid inefficient
 redundancy ties derived from territorial clusters. We propose that firms
 embedded in a dense and strong-tie network generate redundant knowledge
 flows. However, they may use structural dispersion to mediate and overcome
 this limitation. Our empirical study was conducted drawing on the Spanish
 ceramic tile industrial cluster to test the potential association between
 social capital and redundancy. Our findings support the idea that
 structural dispersion mediates the effects of strong ties and the
 generation of knowledge redundancy.

Title: The Role of Human Capital in Lowering the Barriers to Engaging in Innovation: Evidence from the Spanish Innovation Survey 
Abstract:
				 This paper focuses on the role of human
 capital in reducing the barriers to firms' engagement in innovation
 activities. The paper distinguishes between firms facing barriers that
 stop them from engaging in any innovation activity, and firms that face
 impediments in the course of their innovation activity. We investigate
 whether human capital has a particularly strong impact in relation to
 lowering barriers among the former group of firms, since a strong skill
 base is likely to compensate for lack of experience in innovation-related
 activities or the complementary assets needed for innovation. We draw on
 four waves of the Spanish Innovation Survey and examine the impact of
 human capital on three types of obstacles to innovation: cost, knowledge
 and market barriers. We find that human capital has a significant impact
 on reducing the barriers to innovation represented by knowledge shortages
 and market uncertainties.

Title: Business Group Affiliation and R&D 
Abstract:
				 This paper analyzes whether belonging to a
 business group enhances firms' propensity for and intensity of R&D based
 on the greater opportunities to finance and co-ordinate R&D strategies and
 internalize knowledge spillovers. Compared with the existing literature,
 this paper has the following novelties: (a) it examines how the
 organization and diversification of business groups influence the R&D
 investment of affiliated firms; (b) it analyzes the role of R&D spillovers
 among affiliated firms; and (c) it distinguishes between propensity for
 and intensity of R&D. We find that less diversified groups are more likely
 to centralize R&D, while in more diversified groups firms are more likely
 to be autonomous. We find that controlled companies are more likely to
 benefit from knowledge spillovers than firms at the head of the group.
 Finally, we find that R&D autonomy is significantly associated with both a
 higher propensity for and intensity of R&D in controlled companies.

Title: Foreign Subsidiaries and Technology Sourcing in Spain 
Abstract:
				 Firms acquire external technological
 knowledge via different channels. In this paper, we compare the technology
 sourcing of foreign subsidiaries and domestic firms looking at domestic
 R&D outsourcing, international R&D outsourcing, domestic cooperation for
 innovation and international cooperation for innovation. We use data from
 the Spanish Technological Innovation Panel for the years 2005--2009 for
 10,206 innovative firms operating in Spain. We apply a multivariate probit
 specification which allows for systematic correlations among the different
 choices. The results show that the different technology sourcing choices
 are interdependent and that foreign subsidiaries show a different pattern
 of external technology sourcing. Compared to affiliated domestic
 companies, foreign subsidiaries show a smaller propensity for external
 technology sourcing via R&D outsourcing from independent firms in the host
 country, for international R&D outsourcing and for international
 cooperation for innovation. In contrast, foreign subsidiaries show a
 greater propensity for domestic cooperation for innovation. However,
 foreign subsidiaries are not a homogenous group in this respect.

Title: Inventor's Knowledge Set as the Antecedent of Patent Importance 
Abstract:
				 This paper investigates the antecedents of
 patent importance by looking at the prior knowledge set of academic
 inventors. Using independent methodologies, we distinguish between the
 scientific knowledge set and the technical knowledge set, and separate
 these from other kinds of prior expertise. We find that the patents of the
 inventors who have a prior scholarly knowledge of the topic are on average
 more important (more cited after 6 years). Conversely, we find an inverted
 U-shape relationship between prior technical relatedness and patent
 importance. These results are potentially useful to support the work of
 practitioners such as university technology managers, which often face
 difficulties in identifying the importance and perspective value of the
 disclosed inventions, amid high market and legal uncertainty and budget
 shortages.

Title: Innovative Work Behaviour: The Impact of Comprehensive HR System Perceptions and the Role of Work--Life Conflict 
Abstract:
				 Human resource (HR) systems have the
 potential to both foster innovative work behaviour (IWB) and reduce
 work--life conflict (WLC)--enabling employees to engage in IWB. We
 investigate the proposed relationships between comprehensive HR systems,
 WLC and IWB using variance-based structural equation modelling. We found
 that HR systems that are perceived as comprehensive significantly enhance
 IWB and decrease feelings of WLC. Contrary to our expectation, we found a
 significant yet positive effect of WLC on IWB. Employees may respond to
 WLC constructively by being innovative, improving their environment and
 making the work--life interface manageable. By promoting IWB, HR systems
 might also help employees to deal with residual--and, perhaps,
 unavoidable--levels of WLC.

Title: Designing for a Living? Income Determinants Among Firm Founders in the Dutch Design Sector 
Abstract:
				 Many studies have analysed the role of the
 creative class in fostering regional development. The focus on regional
 development neglects the individual differences in success among members
 in the creative class and among firms within creative industries. We study
 firm founders in three design sectors (industrial design, graphic design
 and web design) and analyse the determinants of their personal income.
 Next to individual factors affecting income differences among designers,
 we look at the relational and spatial contexts in which designers operate.
 Hence, we can also assess whether spatial clustering and organisational
 networking are beneficial for designers. The main result, based on 200
 telephonic questionnaires, holds that income is determined mainly by
 business experience and the use of advanced Information and Communication
 Technologies (ICTs), while education and spatial clustering have no
 impact. We argue that policies in the design sector should be oriented
 towards helping young designers to gain experience as well as towards
 life-long learning in the use of ICTs.

Title: R&D Strategy, Metropolitan Externalities and Productivity: Evidence from Sweden 
Abstract:
				 This paper studies the influence of
 metropolitan externalities on productivity for different types of long-run
 R&D engagement based on information from the Community Innovation Survey.
 We apply a dynamic general method of moments model to a panel of
 manufacturing and service firms with different locations in Sweden,
 classified as a metropolitan region, the largest metropolitan region, a
 metropolitan city, the largest metropolitan city and a nonmetropolitan
 area. This analysis generates three distinct results. First, the
 productivity premium associated with persistent R&D is close to 8 per cent
 in nonmetro locations and about 14 per cent in the largest city. Second, a
 firm without any R&D engagement does not benefit at all from the external
 milieu in metro areas. Third, no productivity premium is associated with
 occasional R&D effort regardless of the firm's location.

Title: The Inventive, the Educated and the Creative: How Do They Affect Metropolitan Productivity? 
Abstract:
				 A longstanding research tradition assumes
 that endogenous technological development increases regional productivity.
 It has been assumed that measures of regional patenting activity or human
 capital are an adequate way to capture the endogenous creation of new
 ideas that result in productivity improvements. This process has been
 conceived as occurring in two stages. First, an invention or innovation is
 generated, and then it is developed and commercialized to create benefits
 for the individual or firm owning the idea. Typically these steps are
 combined into a single model of the "invention in/productivity out"
 variety. Using data on Gross Metropolitan Product per worker and on
 inventors, educational attainment, and creative workers (together with
 other important socioeconomic controls), we unpack the model back to the
 two-step process and use a SEM modeling framework to investigate the
 relationships among inventive activity and potential inventors, regional
 technology levels, and regional productivity outcomes. Our results show
 almost no significant direct relationship between invention and
 productivity, except through technology. Clearly, the simplification of
 the "invention in/productivity out" model does not hold, which supports
 other work that questions the use of patents and patenting related
 measures as meaningful innovation inputs to processes that generate
 regional productivity and productivity gains. We also find that the most
 effective measure of regional inventive capacity, in terms of its effect
 on technology, productivity, and productivity growth is the share of the
 workforce engaged in creative activities.

Title: The Catalysing Role of In-House R&D in Fostering Complementarity Among Innovative Inputs 
Abstract:
 While several studies have investigated the relationship between internal
 and external sources of innovation, no clear-cut result has emerged so
 far, suggesting the possibility that the nature of such interaction-far
 from being an absolute property of the innovative process-may instead be a
 relative one, contingent upon the nature and the level of innovative
 inputs a firm has invested in. Using microdata from the third Italian
 Community Innovation Survey, we test under what conditions the nature of
 the interactions between four different innovative inputs (internal and
 external R&D, embodied and disembodied technological acquisition) is one
 of complementarity or substitutability. Two are the main findings of our
 study: (i) internal R&D and embodied technological acquisitions turn out
 to be complementary only after a minimum threshold of in-house R&D
 expenditure has been overcome, being substitutive otherwise; (ii)
 investing in internal R&D also affects the nature of the relationships
 between alternative external sources of innovation, whose interaction
 proves to be complementary only for firms that invest in internal R&D.

Title: Learning from a Drastic Failure: The Case of the Airbus A380 Program 
Abstract:
 How do organizations learn from a drastic failure? We distinguish between
 ad hoc and systematic reactions and discuss their effectiveness for
 dealing with two basic challenges: (1) identifying and solving the
 problems that caused the failure; and (2) changing the organization
 accordingly. We apply this conceptual perspective to illustrate the
 dynamics of learning from the drastic failure that occurred during the
 development of the Airbus A380 "superjumbo." Our findings echo extant
 observations that efforts to redesign organizational behavior in an ad hoc
 manner are often insufficient. Instead, the organizational system must
 provide scaffolding that allows experiencing a critical event in a rich
 and systematic manner. When seen from a dynamic perspective, however, we
 find that even imperfect ad hoc efforts may play a vital role. By
 enforcing changes, providing stability, and raising awareness, they can
 act as a helpful prelude to more systematic problem solving and change.

Title: The Dynamics of Knowledge-intensive Sectors' Knowledge Base: Evidence from Biotechnology and Telecommunications 
Abstract:
 In this paper, we present a methodology to represent and measure knowledge
 which takes into account knowledge heterogeneity and its sectoral level
 theoretical and empirical implications in knowledge intensive
 environments. We draw on work on recombinant knowledge, extending the
 approach to include the way the dynamics of technological knowledge
 creation evolves according to a life cycle; testing the existence of
 concepts such as technological paradigms; mapping the characteristics of
 the search process in the phases of exploration and exploitation during
 this technology life cycle and detecting the differences in sectoral
 evolution that can be explained by the properties of the knowledge base.
 We use European Patent Office data (1981-2005) to propose some operational
 metrics for the knowledge base and its evolution in two knowledge
 intensive sectors: biotechnology and telecommunications. Our empirical
 results show that there are interesting and meaningful differences across
 sectors, which are linked to the different phases of the technology life
 cycles.

Title: The Evolution of Knowledge Organization and the Emergence of a Platform for Innovation in the Car Industry 
Abstract:
 The paper aims at explaining the changes in how economic actors and their
 organizations acquire and coordinate innovative and productive
 capabilities. Using the illustrative evidence from organizational change
 in the automobile industry in Piedmont over the last 50 years, the paper
 describes how transformations in the structure of interactions between
 firms are steered by changes in the pattern of specialization and
 differentiation in the capabilities and technological skills of economic
 actors. The system is characterized by the emergence of a platform for the
 coordination of productive and technological activities, which can be seen
 as a major change in the organization of innovation in the system.

Title: High-Tech Entrepreneurship in Europe: A Heuristic Firm Growth Model and Three "(Un-)easy Pieces" for Policy-Making 
Abstract:
 Increasing the number of rapid-growth new technology-based firms (NTBFs)
 is considered one of the key priorities of innovation policy adopted by
 the European Commission. Grounded in the empirical literature on the
 determinants of high-tech start-up growth in Europe, this paper develops a
 heuristic firm growth model for European NTBFs to individuate three
 primary areas of intervention for policy-making aimed to sustain the
 growth of NTBFs: (i) reducing the social and regulatory burdens arising
 from (honest) firm failure, (ii) acknowledging the local nature of the
 venture capital industry and promoting territorial marketing initiatives
 to attract (international) venture capitalist players and (iii) leveraging
 the "halo and certification" effect of directs public subsidies and grants
 towards NTBFs. If recent initiatives of the European Commission go in
 these directions, much remains to be done to increase the growth potential
 of high-tech start-ups on the European landscape.

Title: Patents, Competition, and Firms' Innovation Incentives 
Abstract:
 This paper presents fresh evidence on the interaction between industrial
 property rights (patents) and competition, and their joint effect on
 firms' innovation. We use panel data of Spanish manufacturing firms for
 1990-2006, as well as external information on European Patent Office and
 US Patent Office patent counts. We construct a new synthetic measure of
 competition and estimate the impact of patents on this measure at the
 industry level. Then, the effect of industry-wide competition and
 patenting on firms' innovation is estimated at the firm level. Our results
 suggest that patents reduce the level of competition in the industry,
 whereas the effect of competition on innovation varies with the type of
 innovation indicator. Thus, by lowering competition, patents in an
 industry exert an indirect effect on innovation besides their direct
 effect. In addition, interaction effects between patents and competition
 indicate that patents soften the impact of competition changes on firms'
 innovation.

Title: Are Trademark Counts a Valid Indicator of Innovation? Results of an In-Depth Study of New Benelux Trademarks Filed by SMEs 
Abstract:
 This paper extends the emerging literature on the value of trademarks for
 innovation studies and policy-making with the first empirical study at the
 trademark level. It gives a view on how companies use trademarks and
 interpret trademark activities. A sample of 660 new Benelux trademarks
 registered by small- and medium-sized enterprises reveals that 60 per cent
 of recently registered Benelux trademarks refer to innovation activity,
 predominantly to product or service innovation. The reference to
 innovation co-varies with various applicant and trademark characteristics
 unknown from previous studies. Finally, the sample reveals that most of
 the trademarks used to signal innovative offers are filed close to its
 market introduction without combining them with other intellectual
 property rights. This holds especially for trademarks related to service
 innovation.

Title: Absorptive Capacity, Proximity in Cooperation and Integration Mechanisms. Empirical Evidence from CIS Data 
Abstract:
 The paper extends available findings on the antecedents and impact of the
 firm's absorptive capacity. Innovation cooperation is recognized as a
 driver of its potential side (PAC). Considering different forms of
 proximity, we expect to find a higher impact for interactions occurring
 between close partners. Human capital (HC) is expected to be as important
 as other organizational mechanisms for the innovation impact of PAC. An
 empirical application with Community Innovation Survey data confirms these
 arguments only partially. The firm's cooperation with geographically
 closer partners (i.e., in the same country) increases its PAC, but it is
 cooperation with institutionally distant ones (e.g., research
 organizations) that augments it. Among the integration mechanisms of
 external knowledge, those increasing the firm's HC are the only ones that
 positively moderate the innovation impact of PAC.

Title: R&D and Productivity in High-Tech Manufacturing: A Comparison between Italy and Spain 
Abstract:
 Using data for 12 manufacturing industries over the period 1980-2006, we
 perform for Italy and Spain a dynamic panel estimation of the long-run
 elasticity of total factor productivity (TFP) with respect to R&D capital.
 In spite of recording a level of R&D capital lower than Italian
 industries, the technology-based industries in Spain have experienced a
 similar or higher long-run impact on TFP. This is mainly attributable to
 what occurred from the mid-1990s onwards when, thanks to increasing R&D
 efforts, the Spanish industries have been able to catch up with respect to
 the Italian ones. These findings suggest that, also in countries
 classified as technology followers, R&D investment is a crucial condition
 for boosting manufacturing productivity.

Title: Innovation Subsidies: Does the Funding Source Matter for Innovation Intensity and Performance? Empirical Evidence from Germany 
Abstract:
 In this paper we analyze the effect of European and national funding on
 innovation input and output at the firm level. In terms of innovation
 input, we do not find evidence that one policy crowds out the effect of
 the other. Instead, the policies are complements. In terms of output, we
 find that subsidy recipients are more active with respect to patenting. A
 citation analysis of patents reveals that the subsidy recipients file
 patents that are more valuable (in terms of forward citations) than those
 filed in the counterfactual situation of receiving no public support.
 These results suggest that public funding triggers socially beneficial
 research projects and that the co-existence of national and European
 policies does not lead to crowding-out effects when compared to a
 hypothetical world of a closed economy with no supplemental European
 policies.

Title: Perceived Obstacles to University-Industry Collaboration: Results from a Qualitative Survey of Italian Academic Departments 
Abstract:
 Although universities are generally under pressure to increase their
 interactions with industry, academic departments vary enormously in the
 extent to which they collaborate with businesses. There are several
 factors, which, to different extents, drive or hamper academics'
 capabilities to engage in collaboration with the private sector. On the
 basis of original data from interviews with 197 university departments in
 Italy, this paper investigates the main obstacles to technology transfer
 activity as perceived by academic researchers, and their possible impact
 on university-industry collaborations. The analysis shows that three (out
 of four) perceived obstacles are barriers to university-industry
 interactions and negatively affect the probability of engaging in
 collaboration with industry. The estimated impact of these perceived
 obstacles on the frequency of collaborations is less clear-cut and
 requires further investigation.

Title: Leadership in Innovators and Defenders: The Role of Cognitive Personality Styles 
Abstract:
 This research is based on a mixed strategic typology, combining
 <italic>innovators</italic> of Miller and Roth (1994, "A Taxonomy of
 Manufacturing Strategies," <italic>Management Science</italic>, 40 (3),
 285-304) and <italic>defenders</italic> of Miles et al. (1978,
 "Organizational Strategy, Structure and Process," <italic>Academy of
 Management Review</italic>, 3, 546-562) and supported by the
 perception-evaluation personality model of Jung (1923,
 <italic>Psychological Types</italic>, London, Routledge & Kegan).
 Leadership model having five underlying constructs-<italic>group
 cohesion</italic>, <italic>intellectual flexibility</italic>,
 <italic>leader cognitive styles</italic>, <italic>leadership
 styles</italic> and <italic>leadership roles</italic>-is identified and
 studied. At first, respondent firms from various sectors are classified as
 <italic>innovators</italic> and <italic>defenders.</italic> Second, the
 constructs are empirically tested on them. Important findings suggest that
 innovators have intuitive-feeling leaders and defenders have
 sensing-thinking leaders, two of the four personality types proposed by
 Jung (1923). It has also been found that innovators are higher in the
 degree of intellectual adjustment; in the idea generation and nurturant
 phase leaders exhibit intuitive-feeling personality style; concept
 creators also exhibit the same. These findings may be used in
 organizations for leadership building, finding out best candidate job-fit
 and organization-fit during recruitment, and also for training and
 development of the leaders.

Title: A Dynamic Comparative Analysis of International Innovation Networks in Emerging Market MNCs 
Abstract:
 This paper compares the international innovation strategies of emerging
 market MNCs (EMNCs) with those of developed country MNCs (DMNCs). More
 specifically, we analyze the patent outcomes related to the use of
 international innovation networks (IINs) of EMNCs in developed markets
 compared with those of DMNCs in emerging markets. We explore the
 convergence and volatility patterns in patent generation within these
 IINs, considering the use of overseas R&D affiliates and the outcomes of
 interactions between foreign R&D affiliates and home headquarters for
 generating patents over a 20-year period. Our findings are broadly
 supportive of the idea that the trends in the volume and volatility of
 patents generated from the underlying IINs used by EMNCs are converging
 with those of DMNCs. This is in line with the predictions of a number of
 current international business theories regarding EMNC international
 expansion.

Title: Sources of Inter-Firm Heterogeneity in Accessing Knowledge-Creation Benefits Within Technology Clusters 
Abstract:
 We build on recent literature to highlight the distinction between
 knowledge-<italic>diffusion</italic> and
 knowledge-<italic>creation</italic> benefits of technology clustering and
 argue that firms located in technology clusters will have differential
 access to the latter. To explain the antecedents of such differential
 access, we first argue that clustering gives rise to three
 knowledge-creation benefits: easier identification of potential knowledge
 partners with complementary knowledge, easier initiation of knowledge
 partnerships and increased effectiveness of knowledge partnerships.
 Subsequently, we develop a conceptual model and propositions that focus on
 a cluster firm's awareness of knowledge assets inside the cluster,
 attractiveness as a knowledge partner and ability to benefit from
 knowledge partnerships to explain differential access by firms to these
 three knowledge-creation benefits that clustering provides. This study
 highlights the theoretical significance of distinguishing externality-type
 benefits of technology clustering from benefits that firms need to
 actively pursue, and discusses implications for firms' location decisions.

Title: Innovation in Creative Cities: Evidence from British Small Firms 
Abstract:
 Creative cities are seen as important sites for the generation of new
 ideas, products and processes. Yet, beyond case studies of a few
 high-profile cities, there is little empirical evidence on the link
 between local creative industries concentration and innovation. This paper
 addresses this gap with an analysis of around 1,300 UK small- and
 medium-sized enterprises. The results suggest that firms in local
 economies with high shares of creative industries employment are
 significantly more likely to introduce entirely new products and processes
 than firms elsewhere, but not innovations which are simply new to the
 firm. This effect is not exclusive to creative industries firms and seems
 to be largely due to firms in medium-sized, rather than large, cities. The
 results imply that creative cities may have functional specialisations in
 new content creation and so firms are more innovative in them.

Title: Innovation in Consumer Markets: French and American Bicycles, 1860s-1920s 
Abstract:
 Most scholars specialize in specific aspects of innovation: in industry,
 among users, between producers and consumers and within market
 trajectories. I synthesize many such approaches into a conceptual
 framework to study innovation in consumer markets. I argue that consumers
 can work with producers to foster product innovation, subject to market
 conditions. These conditions include product and technological life
 cycles, social landscapes and market regimes and segment structure. I
 illustrate this framework by analyzing the French and American bicycle
 markets from the 1860s to the 1920s. In eras of ferment, consumers in
 specific segments constructed technological innovation systems with
 producers to shape product innovation. In other periods, markets turned to
 normal business and process innovation. Inter-segment relations also
 influenced innovation systems and national market trajectories. I conclude
 by developing further propositions for research.

Title: Defensive Disclosure of Patentable Inventions under Antitrust Enforcement 
Abstract:
 Why do large firms disclose patentable inventions defensively? We study
 IBM's disclosure and patenting activity and find that stronger antitrust
 enforcement and consent decrees limiting patent protection lead to more
 defensive disclosure. We extend our analysis to Xerox and show, using a
 differences-in-differences approach, a decline in patent propensity and an
 increase in patent scope in patent classes affected by the 1975 consent
 decree. We extend our analysis to include AT&T, the other exceptionally
 large firm with defensive-disclosure activity, and show that their
 patenting propensity declined under increased antitrust enforcement
 relative to other firms in the industry. Overall, we show how these firms
 used defensive disclosure as a strategy to balance the benefits of
 patenting with the costs of uncertain antitrust enforcement. Our results
 are especially relevant in light of the defensive patent strategies many
 firms employ to preempt and cope with patent litigation.

Title: Openness and Innovation Performance: Are Small Firms Different? 
Abstract:
 We explore whether and how the benefits of openness in innovation are
 different for small plants (less than 50 employees) compared to medium and
 large plants. Using panel data from Irish manufacturing we find that the
 contribution of the "breadth" of openness (i.e., the variety of plants'
 innovation linkages) on innovation performance is stronger for small
 plants than for larger plants. Both small and larger plants face
 diminishing returns as the breadth of openness increases, but small plants
 experience negative returns at lower level of the breadth of openness than
 larger plants. Our results suggest that small plants can gain
 significantly from using wider set of innovation linkages, but for such
 plants appropriate partner choice is a particularly important issue. Small
 plants also gain significantly more than larger ones from investing in the
 linkages within the supply chain.

Title: Innovation Performance and International Knowledge Spillovers: Evidence from the Renewable Energy Sector in OECD Countries 
Abstract:
 This paper aims at evaluating the sources of differences among countries'
 innovative performances in the renewable energy (RE) sector. Namely, we
 focus on the national innovative capacity, the knowledge developed abroad
 and the related knowledge spillovers. We claim that a country is more
 likely to develop RE innovation: (i) the larger the knowledge stocks of
 other countries in the same sector; (ii) especially when those other
 countries share established linkages with the focal country. Relying on a
 knowledge production function, we model country-level innovative
 performances in the RE sector for 18 OECD countries in the period
 1990-2006. Our findings confirm that, once controlling for climate-energy
 policies, international knowledge spillovers contribute significantly to
 RE innovation, and their effect is comparable with domestic R&D and human
 capital. In addition, international spillovers are more likely if
 countries share stronger linkages.

Title: Public R&D as a Standard-Setting Device 
Abstract:
 We propose a simple two-firm model with complementarities and imperfect
 knowledge about the optimal technology. Firms receive two signals about
 the technology, a public and a private one. We show that with
 complementarities public signals can serve as a coordination device
 between firms, even if the private signal is more precise. Our results
 point to an important function of standard-setting organizations and
 public R&D: providing a focal point for firms that might not coordinate
 otherwise.

Title: Government Intervention or Entrepreneurial Profit? Explaining Innovation in the Korean Online Gaming Industry 
Abstract:
 This paper examines how and why the Korean online gaming industry gained
 dominance in the global market, despite US and Japanese competition in
 related gaming sectors. It examines how far this was stimulated by
 government intervention and how far it was due to private entrepreneurs.
 Using case studies of innovative firms, it argues that, whilst
 interventionist industrial policy was influential, the most important
 factors were changing market conditions, investment in higher education
 and telecommunications infrastructure. These created profit opportunities
 that Korean entrepreneurs were able to exploit through the foundation of
 new firms and access to university-based social networks.

Title: Geographic Network Diversity: How Does it Affect Exploratory Innovation? 
Abstract:
 This study examines the underexplored effect of the geographic
 configuration of entrepreneurs' networks on their ventures' levels of
 exploratory innovation. As entrepreneurs are found to engage in both
 proximate and distant knowledge ties, this paper's main predictor involves
 the geographic diversity of entrepreneurs' networks. The study
 theoretically develops the idea that the impact of geographic network
 diversity on ventures' level of exploratory innovation takes an inverted-U
 shape. It is also proposed that this effect is moderated by the relational
 configuration of entrepreneurs' networks in terms of tie strength.
 Analyses of data on 175 egocentric networks support the proposed ideas.
 Implications for interfirm network configuration, spatial lock-in,
 exploratory innovation and the broader space and innovation literature are
 also discussed.

Title: The Impact of Open Source Software Commercialization on Firm Value 
Abstract:
 Vendors of proprietary software products are increasingly moving to
 business models inspired by open source software (OSS). This study
 investigates sources of heterogeneity in value appropriation associated
 with commercializing OSS. Specifically, I suggest that the relationship
 between a firm's OSS releases and its value depends critically on its
 stocks of protection mechanisms for intellectual property rights, such as
 software patents and software trademarks. I find that while software
 patent stocks positively affect the relationship between a firm's OSS
 product portfolio and its value, software trademark stocks have a negative
 effect on this relationship.

Title: Post-Entry Product Introduction: Who Explores New Niches? 
Abstract:
 Where do innovative products come from? Why do some firms address new
 market niches and others do not? The literature has rarely blended the
 concept of innovativeness of a product at the market level with the
 coherence of the product portfolio at the firm level. In this paper, we
 examine whether the introduction of products that are highly innovative
 occurs in firms that are very differentiated, both in terms of target
 niches and in terms of technological competencies, or rather in firms that
 focus on specific market segments and that have a limited technological
 capability. The results show that the introduction of products that are
 new to the market generally occurs in firms that introduce many products
 in few market segments and are characterized by a set of specialized
 technological and market competencies. At least in this industry, the myth
 of the small specialized niche player does not hold. Implications have a
 positive relevance to assess firms' behaviour in a given market. From the
 welfare point of view, this paper helps disentangle monopolistic power
 generated by truly new products and simple versioning of the product.

Title: Patenting Behaviour and the Survival of Newly Listed European Software Firms 
Abstract:
 We test whether patenting activity impacts on software companies'
 likelihood of survival after going public in the UK, Germany, France,
 Sweden, Italy and Spain. Our database covers all software companies
 undertaking IPOs in these six countries between 1 January 1997 and 31
 December 2005, and includes data from various sources (the Bureau van Dijk
 Zephyr database, the Questel-Orbit QPAT patent database, financial
 documents available on the company websites and specialised websites).
 Survival analysis follows a semi-parametric approach, based on the
 stratified Cox competing risk model, controlling for other determinants of
 survival. We find that, after controlling for the firms' main entry
 characteristics (experience, size, sales, profitability and solvency,
 together with market conditions), the influence of the size and the
 quality of the firms' patent portfolios is different according to the type
 of exit and the type of software firm. In particular, the number of
 patents reduces the risk of failure and acquisition for software
 developers, while quality increases their attractiveness as an acquisition
 target.

Title: Regional R&D Decentralization and Breakthrough Inventions: A Tale of Two Mechanisms 
Abstract:
 This study explores the relationship between regional R&D
 decentralization--i.e. the extent to which R&D activity is distributed
 among distinct firms collocated in the same geographic area and operating
 in the same technological domain--and the generation of breakthrough
 inventions. R&D decentralization might affect the chance of generating
 breakthrough inventions in two distinct ways. On the one hand, firms might
 just search in parallel along diverse technological paths, which augments
 the probability that at least some trajectories will lead to extremely
 valuable inventions. On the other hand, firms pursuing diverse paths might
 also exchange knowledge with each other, for instance through inventors'
 mobility, and such recombination possibly leads to a higher likelihood of
 producing breakthroughs. By assessing (a) the impact of R&D
 decentralization on the share of breakthrough inventions and (b) how this
 impact changes according to the rate of inventors' mobility in regions,
 this paper aims at understanding which mechanism, if any, actually
 operates.

Title: Animated Times: Critical Transitions and the Maintenance of Field-Configuring Events 
Abstract:
 Recent research has pointed to the challenge facing recurrent
 field-configuring events (FCEs) in trying to remain dominant in their
 fields over sustained periods. Based on a revelatory historical case study
 of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, the leading FCE in
 its field, this paper explores how a field-configuring role can be
 maintained over time. We focus specifically on the FCE organization, and
 highlight the importance of critical transitions, relatively short periods
 of time when fundamental changes were made to its formal and informal
 governance rules, which redefined the event's identity and scope, and thus
 ensured it remained the dominant event for field participants. In terms of
 the organizational dynamics facilitating critical transitions, we
 emphasize the importance of conflict as a driver of change, as well as the
 particular role of local stakeholders in renewing FCEs that are organized
 recurrently in the same location.

Title: Civic Events in a Dynamic Local Field. The Role of Participation for Social Innovation 
Abstract:
 Despite the spread of a variety of small-scale civic events, little is
 known about their potential for promoting innovation and field-wide
 implications. This paper addresses these points drawing on a study of 52
 civic events in Milan between 2006 and 2010, which were set up by 10
 nonprofit organizations within a shared local field. In order to assess if
 and how the observed events relate to a number of transformations that the
 local field underwent during the research period, an analytical typology
 of events' development is proposed. The results suggest that patterns of
 events' development are not neutral with respect to the production of
 field-relevant implications and that the triggering of social innovation
 processes by events requires pro-active public participation in their
 development processes.

Title: Conferences as Sequential Arenas for Creating New Sustainable Fields 
Abstract:
 The field-configuring events (FCE) literature has deemed conferences to be
 important in the emergence of fields. Yet little is still known about how
 they serve as interventions for deliberately creating new sustainable
 fields. Emerging sustainable technologies are typically not competitive on
 the market and are likely to be ruled out by established industries
 counteracting their development. Hence, they are in need of two types of
 measures: those that promote the single innovation and measures that
 generate "disruptive" systemic change (i.e. bring about a transition
 toward increased sustainability in the technologies, rules and roles that
 govern established industries). The article applies the FCE literature to
 a novel empirical context: the creation of a field for solar technology in
 an especially challenging environment. Based on observations, interviews
 and archival data on a conference sequence in 2011-2014, the findings show
 that the conferences triggered processes promoting the innovation that,
 then, generated steppingstones for processes of "disruptive" systemic
 change. The study contributes to the FCE literature by arguing that
 conferences can be fruitful arenas for furthering sustainable fields, as
 they have the potential to address the two aspects of sustainable field
 creation simultaneously.

Title: Crossing Boundaries: Exploring the London Olympics 2012 as a Field-Configuring Event 
Abstract:
 The paper seeks to unravel the field-configuring capacity of Olympic
 Games, as a large-scale event located at the intersection of several
 organizational fields. The initial argument is that the Olympics, besides
 being a cyclically recurring "tournament ritual" in the sports field,
 constitute a singular flagship project in those fields connected to the
 preparation and legacy implementation of the event. Conceptually the paper
 connects, therefore, the literature on field-configuration with a
 particular branch of project management research. Empirically it builds
 upon selected results of a major case study of the London Summer Games in
 2012, in particular of the massive program of venue construction and urban
 regeneration linked to this event. The authors maintain that the
 cross-field-configuring capacity of a global and publicly visible venture
 like the Olympics is based on the interaction of its public prominence and
 the performance of involved actors. However, the configuration across
 field boundaries exhibits a specific temporality. For one thing, this is
 based on the singularity of the flagship projects within their fields. For
 another, it refers to the timescale in which the actual performance takes
 place.

Title: Why do Firms Locate Across Multiple Clusters? Cluster Density, Capabilities and Ethnic Ties 
Abstract:
 It is well-accepted that firms locate in clusters to benefit from
 spillover effects from similar firms in the location. However, some firms
 choose to locate in multiple clusters. In this paper, we focus on the
 phenomenon of multi-cluster presence. Through an empirical investigation
 of 95 firms from the information technology enabled service industry
 within India, we analyze the drivers of membership across multiple
 clusters. Our findings indicate first that firms that are located in lower
 density clusters show a tendency to locate in a larger number of clusters.
 Second, firms that are looking for people-based creative capabilities also
 tend to locate in a larger number of clusters. Finally, the firms that are
 not founded at the location of ethnic origin of the founder CEO also tend
 to locate in a larger number of clusters.

Title: External and Internal Knowledge in the Knowledge Generation Function 
Abstract:
 This paper explores the role of internal and external knowledge in the
 generation of new technological knowledge. It implements the notion of
 recombinant knowledge generation function with the appreciation of: (i)
 the complementary--as opposed to supplementary--role of external knowledge
 and (ii) the role of the size and composition of the internal stock of
 knowledge. The empirical section is based upon a panel of companies listed
 on the main European financial markets for the period 1995-2006. The
 econometric analysis is based on simultaneous equations. The results
 confirm that R&D efforts and external knowledge are indispensable inputs
 into the generation of new technological knowledge.

Title: Driving factors for service providers to participate in standardization: Insights from the Netherlands 
Abstract:
 The paper aims to identify factors influencing the service providers'
 decision to participate in formal standardization at national standards
 bodies. The paper develops firm- and industry-specific hypotheses and
 tests them based on a sample of 5,812 Dutch service providers of which 174
 actively participated in the Dutch standards body NEN. Our results reveal
 that company size, export activities, internal R&D and innovation
 activities are positively related to the service provider's likelihood to
 participate in formal standardization. Additionally, the service industry
 and the service type are related to the propensity to standardize. The
 analysis is limited to Dutch companies' involvement at the Dutch standards
 body and does not consider their engagement in standardization consortia.
 The paper combines a large and representative sample of service companies
 with information about service companies' engagement in standardization
 for the first time. The findings reveal specific characteristics of
 service companies active in standardization, which allow the derivation of
 management and policy implications.

Title: The Market Value of Technology Disclosures to Standard Setting Organizations 
Abstract:
 In light of the increased demand for interoperability, fragmented
 ownership of intellectual property and high costs for communicating new
 technologies, open standard-setting activities emerged as an important
 coordination and diffusion mechanism. Little is known about the value of
 contributions to standard setting organizations (SSOs) for technology
 providers. This paper provides a large-scale empirical assessment of the
 value of disclosures to SSOs for technology sponsors. Our findings show
 that disclosures referring explicitly to patents are evaluated positively
 by the market while this is not the case for blanket disclosures. This
 indicates that the expected benefits of participating in SSOs outweigh
 potential disadvantages from making patented technologies available to the
 market under SSO licensing conditions. The market does not appreciate
 disclosures to SSOs if there is uncertainty about the associated
 technologies.

Title: Technological Diversification Through Corporate Venture Capital Investments: Creating Various Options to Strengthen Dynamic Capabilities 
Abstract:
 Corporate venture capital (CVC) investment in technology-intensive
 entrepreneurial ventures has attracted increasing attention from
 established firms which recognize it as a useful learning investment
 strategy to create diversified technological options for future change.
 However, there is a lack of empirical research which examines the
 relationship between CVC investment and the corporate investors'
 technological diversification. In this study, we investigate the effects
 of CVC investments on corporate investors' technological diversity by
 using 20 years of panel data from corporate investors in five high-tech
 industries. As a result, we find that the total amount of CVC investments
 and the industrial diversity of portfolio companies exhibit curvilinear
 (inverted U-shape) relationships with the corporate investors'
 technological diversity. Moreover, the empirical results show that the
 absorptive capacity of corporate investors positively moderates the
 effects of CVC investments on the technological diversity.

Title: Policy-Induced Environmental Technology and Inventive Efforts: Is There a Crowding Out? 
Abstract:
 Substantial policy effort is devoted to stimulate environmentally friendly
 technology through regulation and subsidies. Since innovation is a crucial
 productivity driver, a potential crowding out of inventive efforts in
 affected firms may increase the cost of regulation. We study the effects
 of regulation-induced environmental technology on innovation activities
 for a sample of firms in Germany. We find some evidence for a crowding out
 of firms' in-house R&D, especially for firms facing financing constraints.
 Innovation outcomes and investments in innovation-related fixed assets are
 not affected. Moreover, subsidy-backed environmental technology does not
 crowd out R&D.

Title: Intangible Asset Dynamics and Firm Behaviour 
Abstract:
 We study the adoption of different patterns of intangible asset (IA)
 accumulation in manufacturing firms. Contrary to most of the previous
 literature, we find such patterns to be highly differentiated. In
 particular, we identify three types of firm behaviour: high and
 persistent, low and persistent, and discontinuous. We link the
 capability-based view of the firm to theories of asset complementarities
 and market signalling to explain how firm-specific traits affect such
 behaviours. We obtain the following results: first, the persistent
 accumulation of IAs is favoured by the internal availability of highly
 skilled personnel; second, firms with (a) large IA base and (b) high
 propensity to exploit complementarities in the asset stocks are more
 likely to persistently accumulate IAs than to discontinuously or never
 accumulate IAs and third, the adoption of quality management standards
 facilitates the accumulation of IAs, especially if this is done
 discontinuously. This paper adds to the previous literature in two ways:
 first, it highlights the existence of great heterogeneity in the dynamics
 of IA accumulation and, second, it provides an explanation for such
 heterogeneity.

Title: An Exploratory Study on the Transition from OEM to OBM: Case Studies of SMEs in Korea 
Abstract:
 This study investigates how the transformation of latecomer small- and
 medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in emerging economies from dependent or
 subcontracting original equipment manufacturing (OEM) firms into
 independent or original brand manufacturing (OBM) firms is possible to
 achieve a significant catch-up in their share of regional or global
 markets. Given that SMEs are rarely able to make such a transition, we
 elaborate this dynamic process by performing case studies on eight Korean
 SMEs. These SMEs created their own paths instead of following their
 forerunners. These paths are neither entirely new nor take the form of
 leapfrogging, but are characterized by new combinations of existing paths.
 We identify several risk factors, such as counterattacks and intellectual
 property lawsuits, that latecomer SMEs face from incumbent SMEs. In
 addition, we emphasize the importance of cultivating firm-specific
 knowledge by engaging in a continuing process of trial and error type
 in-house experiments.

Title: Collaboration in Innovation Between Foreign Subsidiaries and Local Universities: Evidence from Spain 
Abstract:
 Collaboration between foreign subsidiaries and universities is relevant
 for multinational companies (MNCs) that aim at absorbing knowledge from
 abroad, as well as for universities and policy-makers attempting to
 maximize the spillovers associated with foreign direct investment (FDI).
 In this paper, we explore how MNCs collaborate with universities in the
 foreign countries where they locate and provide new empirical evidence for
 Spain as a host country. Using a probit model with panel data comprising
 9,614 firms for the period 2005-2011, we explore differences between the
 propensity to collaborate with universities of foreign subsidiaries and
 Spanish firms. Subsequently, building on a new survey to 89 foreign
 subsidiaries and on a more detailed analysis of five case studies, we
 discuss the variety of motivations that drive collaboration with
 universities and relate the scale and scope of such collaborations with
 the dynamic mandates of foreign subsidiaries in global innovation
 networks.

Title: Firms' Eco-innovation Intensity and Sectoral System of Innovation: The Case of French Industry 
Abstract:
 The objective of this paper is to analyse the influence of firms' internal
 organisational structures and different ways of mobilising external
 resources on their eco-innovative intensity and observe whether, at the
 firm level, these determinants vary according to sectoral conditions.
 Using the French CIS 2008 survey, the results reveal that, beyond the
 classic effect of regulatory pressure, firms' eco-innovation intensity is
 structured by the firm's internal characteristics, technological
 opportunities and sectoral conditions.

Title: Identifying Lead Markets in the European Automotive Industry: An Indicator-based Approach 
Abstract:
 This paper presents an indicator-based methodology to identify lead
 markets in the European automotive industry. The lead market approach
 tries to explain why certain countries are better positioned than others
 for developing and launching new products. While much research stresses
 the role of excellence in technology and interaction among users and
 producers, the lead market approach focuses on the role of demand
 characteristics. Based on the concept of innovation design, a lead market
 is defined as a country where customers prefer that design which
 subsequently becomes the globally dominant design. We use an
 indicator-based approach which has been successfully employed for
 individual products as well as for various industries in order to identify
 lead markets in the European automotive industry. Employing five lead
 market factors, our results show that the EU is by far no homogeneous
 market for automobiles and national markets differ considerably in their
 lead market potential. The German market is found to be most promising to
 serve as a lead market, while other European countries with a strong
 automotive tradition like France, Italy, the UK, and Sweden score lower.
 Our findings suggest that firms from the automotive industry should
 exploit this diversity of market characteristics within Europe when
 developing and launching new products.

Title: Self-reinforcing Mechanisms in a Multi-technology Industry: Understanding Sustained Technological Variety in a Context of Path Dependency 
Abstract:
 This paper studies self-reinforcing mechanisms in multi-technology
 industries, i.e. industries in which technological lock-in does not occur
 and several technologies continue to coexist. The purpose of this paper is
 to investigate what kind of self-reinforcing mechanisms can be present in
 such industries and explain how multiple paths can coexist and interact in
 a context of self-reinforcement and, ultimately, path dependency. Building
 on the empirical example of the lighting industry, the paper shows that
 all previously recognized types of self-reinforcing mechanisms can be
 present in a multi-technology industry. However, in addition to the
 path-internal positive feedbacks and cross-path negative externalities
 identified in single-path settings, multi-technology industries also
 experience positive cross-path externalities that create a symbiotic
 relationship between alternatives and allow for the reproduction of the
 same development pattern across technologies. Due to the existence of such
 non-negative technology interactions, multi-technology industries can be
 path dependent while still retaining technological variety.

Title: Anchor, incumbent and late entry MNEs as propellents of technology cluster evolution 
Abstract:
 This paper reports on a longitudinal qualitative study on the role of MNEs
 (multinational enterprises), as conduits of knowledge flows, in the
 evolution of a technology cluster. Previous studies illustrated how MNEs
 were attracted to existent clusters and their modes of entry into the
 cluster. This study however sets out not only how MNEs originated this
 cluster, but also how incumbent and later entrant MNEs propelled the
 cluster onwards in related and unrelated technology branches through both
 shaping knowledge density in the cluster and spreading knowledge breadth
 across the cluster. This facilitated simultaneous cluster specialisation,
 diversification and connectivity into the global system, thereby reducing
 vulnerability to technological disruption.

Title: Proximity at a distance: the role of institutional and geographical proximities in Vancouver&#x2019;s infection and immunity research collaborations 
Abstract:
 This article explores the role of proximity in facilitating scientific
 collaboration. It argues that multiple dimensions of proximity exist and
 analyses their influences on Vancouver, Canada&#x2019;s infection and
 immunity research network based on individual-level co-authorship
 patterns. It finds strong support for institutional and geographic
 proximities and limited support that geographical proximity can compensate
 for a lack of institutional proximity.Using individuals as the unit of
 analysis, this article addresses a methodological shortcoming of previous
 studies that took organisations as the unit of analysis. In doing so, the
 role that multiple affiliations play within this network is highlighted.

Title: Collaboration for Innovation: A Case Study on How Social Capital Mitigates Collaborative Challenges in University--Industry Research Alliances 
Abstract:
 Differences in goals and approaches between firms and universities often
 lead to challenges that prevent the realization of fruitful
 university--industry collaboration. This paper explores how the
 development of cognitive and relational social capital can, over time,
 mitigate such challenges and encourage fruitful collaboration between
 firms and universities in research alliances for the development of
 innovations. Using a multi-level perspective at the individual,
 organizational and alliance levels of social capital, this paper
 investigates firms participating in two contrasting research alliances:
 one well-established research alliance and one emerging alliance. This
 study suggests that the development of both cognitive and relational
 social capital at the individual, organizational and alliance levels
 appears crucial for effective collaboration in research alliances over
 time. Common goals and understandings regarding the collaboration and the
 creation of personal relationships between the employees of firms and
 universities helps mitigate collaborative challenges, stimulate cohesion
 and realize the goal of creating innovations.

Title: The formation of status asymmetric ties: a perspective of positive externality and empirical test 
Abstract:
 Previous studies have investigated the circumstances that motivate firms
 to form status asymmetric ties. However, these studies have mainly focused
 on firm attributes or environmental factors. Deviating from prior works,
 we propose that firms can take advantage of alliance portfolios to trade
 resources with potential partners&#x2019; status. Specifically, a firm
 that can access high-quality portfolio technological resources can better
 realize exchanges with partners&#x2019; status. The degree of positive
 externality depends on the relationships of focal firms with existing
 partners and their capabilities to utilize external knowledge resources.
 Data of alliances formed in the computer industry in the USA reveal that a
 focal firm is more likely to ally with a high-status partner if it can
 access high-quality portfolio technological resources. Such positive
 externality of portfolio technological resources is stronger when the
 focal firm has more repeated ties with its existing partners and when they
 utilize more external knowledge resources.

Title: Cooking under Fire: Managing Multilevel Tensions between Creativity and Innovation in Haute Cuisine 
Abstract:
 This inductive study of Michelin-starred restaurants in Britain and
 Germany examines how organizations attend to tensions between idea
 creation and implementation that characterize innovation processes. Based
 on the analysis of in-depth interviews with 40 chefs-de-cuisine, we
 identify tensions at two distinct levels of analysis. The first tension,
 situated at the individual level, occurs between the artistic identity of
 the chefs-de-cuisine and their work identity; the second one, at the
 organizational level, arises because creativity and implementation are
 equally important for the organizational success, thus making it
 impossible to disentangle chefs&#x2019; contribution from that of the
 kitchen brigade. Case evidence shows that effective tactics for managing
 these tensions simultaneously emphasize distinctions and create synergies
 between the contradictory elements of each tension. Moreover, our
 cross-national sample allows us to show how differences at the national
 institutional level affect the management of tensions and thus shed light
 on the mechanisms through which institutional environments affect
 innovation. These insights contribute to existing research in creativity
 and innovation.

Title: Reinterpreting Tradition to Innovate: The Case of Italian Haute Cuisine 
Abstract:
 The present research investigates the development of new products within
 cultural and creative industries resulting from the use of traditional
 elements. In particular, we analyse methods facilitating the recombination
 of traditional elements into new products. Accordingly, we conducted an
 inductive qualitative research, based on five case studies represented by
 Italian restaurants awarded with three Michelin stars. Findings reveal how
 traditional elements may be combined with elements coming from different
 and distant cultures. In addition, the elements of tradition may be the
 only source of innovation if atypical links are established among them.
 Our results mainly contribute to shed new light on the dynamics which
 allow to achieve the equilibrium between familiarity and novelty in
 cultural and creative industries where products suffer a rapid
 obsolescence. Finally, we advance the debate on tensions created by the
 inclusion of novelties in traditions by proposing method facilitating
 combinations.

Title: Conventional and less conventional mechanisms of professionalisation underpinning knowledge-intensive activities: the case of design in food industries 
Abstract:
 Professions are not only primary targets of institutional change, but also
 key contributors to innovation processes. By focusing on how the knowledge
 needed in support of innovation is professionalised and reaches accepted
 modes of organising work, the paper examines the interplay between the
 emergence of a new professional domain and the institutional dynamics of
 the industry(ies) within which professionals operate. To this aim, we
 propose a reflection on the mechanisms that underpin the
 professionalisation of design activities in food industries. Empirical
 evidence draws attention to those practices that allow knowledge
 originated in different contexts to be socialised and converge towards the
 same institutional umbrella, that is, a new professional domain. The
 degree to which such professionalisation resonates with extant professions
 literature is discussed.

Title: New Wines in New Bottles: The &#x201c;Renaissance&#x201d; of the Italian Wine Industry 
Abstract:
 Unexpected events such as crises challenge organizations and actors who
 must search for solutions and alternatives. Severe crises can be fatal,
 especially when they affect entire industries. The ability to identify a
 viable course to address contingencies brought about by a crisis is
 critical to determining outcomes. In this paper, we examine the systemic
 response to a crisis at different levels within an industry in order to
 obtain a better understanding of industry responses to crises. Through a
 historical case study of the Italian wine industry renaissance, we show
 how a sudden and devastating crisis was circumvented to spur a renewed
 industry imbued with better practices and knowledge. Our findings also
 show the key role of preconditions in sustaining the renaissance.

Title: Promoting Entrepreneurship in the Agri-food Industry: Policy Insights from a Pan-European Public--Private Consortium 
Abstract:
 Despite the importance of entrepreneurship as an engine for socioeconomic
 growth, few attempts have been made to study how and to what extent
 industry-specific policies can sustain it. In particular, to date, there
 is only anecdotal evidence on which factors policy-makers can utilize to
 foster entrepreneurship within the agri-food sector. In this paper, we
 attempt to fill this gap by developing, testing, and validating a
 multi-item scale, identifying five factors (i.e. people, money, network,
 technology, infrastructure) and 16 specific tools (i.e. items) to be
 leveraged in promoting entrepreneurship within the agri-food industry. We
 carry out our study in the context of <italic>Foodbest</italic>, a
 pan-European public--private consortium created in 2012 to support
 entrepreneurship and innovation in the agri-food sector. By testing for
 differences in perceptions of factors&#x2019; and tools&#x2019;
 effectiveness, we find variations according to respondents&#x2019;
 organizational and country affiliation. We thus offer new insights into
 how public policy and public--private consortiums can proactively promote
 entrepreneurship in the agri-food domain.<bold>Key Points:</bold> We cover
 three key points. First, by conducting a literature review and working
 with a focus group, we identify a set of theoretically grounded factors
 and tools that could help promote entrepreneurship in the agri-food
 industry. Second, we develop and test a multi-item scale of these factors
 within the context of a pan-European public--private consortium. Third, we
 show that perceptions of factor effectiveness vary among consortium
 participants according to participants&#x2019; personal characteristics
 and organizational affiliations.

Title: Industrial Dynamics: A Review of the Literature 1990--2009 
Abstract:
 This paper reviews the literature in the field of industrial dynamics (ID)
 as it has emerged since I first introduced the term in 1985. Nearly 8,000
 articles in 12 major journals have been reviewed and classified under five
 broad themes that constitute the basic questions in ID: (1) the causes of
 industrial development and economic growth, including the dynamics and
 evolution of industries and the role of entrepreneurship; (2) the nature
 of economic activity in the firm and the dynamics of supply, particularly
 the role of knowledge; (3) how the boundaries and interdependence of firms
 change over time and contribute to economic transformation; (4)
 technological change and its institutional framework, especially systems
 of innovation; (5) the role of public policy in facilitating adjustment of
 the economy to changing circumstances at both micro- and macro-levels.
 Under each theme, the main findings and their implications for theory and
 policy are summarized. The paper concludes with a summary of the
 contribution of industrial dynamics to a better understanding of
 industrial transformation and economic growth and reflections on
 challenges for future research.

Title: Joint Learning in Innovative R&D Collaboration 
Abstract:
 The present study analyzes the mechanisms and facilitators behind joint
 learning in R&D collaborations by way of a qualitative comparative case
 study analyzing three supplier relationships and three internal R&D
 partnerships of the focal organization. The results suggest a single joint
 learning process for internal and external relationships in which the role
 of the customer and the facilitation of the joint learning process vary
 depending on the context. Whereas the role of motivation is central for
 joint learning in the internal relationships, mutual trust is important to
 the external relationships.

Title: Mobility Intentions of Foreign Researchers: The Role of Non-economic Motivations 
Abstract:
 Recent contributions suggest that non-economic factors could be important
 motivational drivers of scientific mobility. We investigate this
 hypothesis in a sample of foreign researchers in Italy and Portugal,
 examining their willingness to leave the host country. We distinguish
 between economic factors, non-economic relational factors and non-economic
 aspirational factors. Controlling for the relevant contextual variables,
 we find that foreign researchers, unsatisfied with aspirational factors
 (e.g. level of independence, autonomy, intellectual challenge and social
 status), are more likely to leave their host country and move to a third
 country than they are to return to their countries of origin. Relational
 and economic factors, such as salary and benefits, do not demonstrate any
 additional impact.

Title: Revisiting the role of selection for the evolution of industries 
Abstract:
 Despite a growing reliance on evolutionary theories when explaining
 industrial dynamics, the mechanism of selection has received limited
 attention. Selection is often taken for granted and conceptualised as
 product market competition. We go beyond this view and distinguish between
 different types of selection&#x2014;formal and social&#x2014;and consider
 how these lead to different entities being selected. Formal selection
 relies on codified selection criteria and often applies in selection
 environments where processes are standardised and institutions formalised.
 Social selection relies on reputation, referrals and previous interactions
 in order to evaluate intangible properties of the entities being selected.
 We argue that firms compete in multiple selection environments, not
 limited to product markets, that different selection environments may rely
 on different types of selection and that this has profound implications
 for industrial dynamics. This theoretical discussion is inspired by
 empirical observations of the medical technology industry in Sweden.

Title: From market fixing to market-creating: a new framework for innovation policy 
Abstract:
 Many countries are pursuing innovation-led &#x201c;smart&#x201d; growth,
 which requires long-run strategic investments and public policies that aim
 to create and shape markets, rather than just &#x201c;fixing&#x201d;
 <italic>markets</italic> or <italic>systems.</italic> Market creation has
 characterized the kind of mission-oriented investments that led to putting
 a man on the moon and are currently galvanizing green innovation.
 Mission-oriented innovation has required public agencies to not only
 &#x201c;de-risk&#x201d; the private sector, but also to lead the direct
 creation of new technological opportunities and market landscapes. This
 paper considers four key issues that arise from a market-creating
 framework for policy: (1) decision-making on the
 <italic>direction</italic> of change; (2) the nature of (public and
 private) <italic>organizations</italic> that can welcome the underlying
 uncertainty and discovery process; (3) the <italic>evaluation</italic> of
 mission-oriented and market-creation policies; and (4) the ways in which
 both <italic>risks and rewards</italic> can be shared so that smart growth
 can also result in inclusive growth.

Title: R&D policy instruments -- a critical review of what we do and don&#x2019;t know 
Abstract:
 In recent years, the term &#x201c;policy instrument&#x201d; has been used
 frequently with regard to R&D policy and innovation policy. This article
 examines the development of the term as part of a body of research known
 as &#x201c;policy design&#x201d;. Over the last 50&#xa0;years, there has
 been substantial progress in setting policy design on a more systematic
 basis, with the development of established concepts and analytical
 frameworks, including various taxonomies of policy instruments. However,
 with just a few exceptions, this body of research seems to have had little
 impact in the world of R&D policy. The paper reviews the literature on R&D
 policy instruments, identifies a number of challenges for R&D policy
 instruments in the light of four transitions and sets out a research
 agenda for the study of R&D policy instruments, before ending with a
 number of conclusions.

Title: Four dangers in innovation policy studies -- and how to avoid them 
Abstract:
 The field of innovation policy studies is at a crossroads. It has clearly
 been influential. However, might it be losing the critical insight
 necessary to remain so in future? We discuss four dangerous tendencies
 seen in many innovation policy studies: idealising policy rationales and
 policy-makers; treating policies as tools from a toolbox; putting too much
 faith in coordination and intelligent design of &#x2018;policy
 mixes&#x2019;; and taking an atemporal approach to innovation policy.
 Based on these we identify some ways forward that, we argue, would deal
 better with the complex multi-actor dynamics, fundamental uncertainties
 and challenges to the implementation, coordination and evaluation of
 policies and which would make for more relevant and impactful innovation
 policy studies.

Title: Mission impossible? Entrepreneurial universities and peripheral regional innovation systems 
Abstract:
 As part of their &#x2018;third mission&#x2019; to commercialise research
 and cultivate growth in local economies, universities have been accorded a
 central role in regional innovation systems. This paper takes issue with
 this policy emphasis. It presents empirical evidence suggesting the
 entrepreneurial spillovers from universities have been greatly
 exaggerated, especially in some peripheral regions. The explanation
 offered for this poor performance hinges on the substantive disconnect
 between universities and their surrounding local entrepreneurial and
 innovation ecosystems. Despite their marginal economic contribution, the
 paper claims that &#x2018;policy entrepreneurs&#x2019; play a powerful
 role in cumulatively reinforcing the dominant role of universities through
 a process of &#x2018;institutional capture&#x2019;, the outcome of which
 results in a form of &#x2018;policy lock-in&#x2019;. The implications of
 these findings for public policy are outlined.

Title: Systemic aspects of R&D policy subsidies for R&D collaborations and their effects on private R&D 
Abstract:
 This paper analyses how context- and time-dependent factors determine the
 impact of R&D subsidies on firm behaviour with respect to private R&D
 expenditures. Based on German R&D survey data, we combine propensity score
 matching with a difference-in-difference estimator in order to measure the
 causal influence of public direct R&D project funding on firm behaviour.
 Our results indicate that (i) repeated participation in R&D projects on
 average leads to a higher increase in R&D expenditures than once-off
 funding; (ii) the aggregate effect of R&D funding on R&D expenditures of
 business firms is somewhat higher for business--business collaboration
 projects than for science--business collaboration projects; (iii) R&D
 expenditures of business firms that cooperate with science show a higher
 share of external R&D spending. Results of one particular cluster
 programme indicate that at least the short-term development of R&D does
 not so much depend on which programme direct R&D project funding is
 applied to.

Title: R&D, capital structure and ownership concentration: evidence from Italian microdata 
Abstract:
 The purpose of the article is to provide some evidence on the
 interconnection between capital structure, R&D investment and ownership
 concentration using a unique panel data-set of Italian firms. We study the
 effect of R&D intensity on leverage for two groups of firms which are
 different in terms of their degree of ownership concentration. Our results
 suggest for Public Limited Companies, a nonlinear relationship between R&D
 intensity and leverage, with the latter first increasing and then
 decreasing. Interestingly, the same result is not found to hold true for
 Private Limited Companies, which are characterized by a more concentrated
 ownership.

Title: Science-based Firms Going Public: The Role of Patent Indicators and Top Management Teams 
Abstract:
 This paper examines how specific dimensions related to innovative
 capabilities influence the economic value of science-based firms when they
 go public. To test a set of hypotheses, we conduct an empirical research
 of a sample of dedicated biotechnology firms that completed an initial
 public offering (IPO) in the USA during 1983--2009. The results indicate
 that technological diversity, the patent stock&#x2019;s value and dominant
 functional diversity in top management teams (TMTs) are positively
 associated with raising funds through an IPO. However, intrapersonal
 functional diversity in the TMT does not have a significant effect.

Title: Top management team diversity, ambidextrous innovation and the mediating effect of top team decision-making processes 
Abstract:
 Until now, the amount of evidences for and discussions of how a top
 management team (TMT)&#x2019;s composition influences ambidextrous
 innovation are very limited. This article develops and tests a model that
 connects task-related TMT diversity and TMT decision-making processes to
 explain the heterogeneity in a firm&#x2019;s strategic focus on
 ambidextrous innovation. The paper is based on a questionnaire
 survey/analysis with sample of 179 TMTs from high-tech firms in China. The
 conclusion exhibits that TMT task-related diversity has a strong effect on
 a firm&#x2019;s strategic focus on ambidextrous innovation through
 strategic decision-making activities. The findings suggest that the TMT
 debate and decision comprehensiveness can mediate the relationship between
 TMT task-related diversity and a firm&#x2019;s strategic focus on
 ambidextrous innovation. Overall, these results suggest that involvement
 in debate and comprehensiveness of strategic decision activities may bring
 out the potential of a TMT&#x2019;s diversity in enabling them to focus on
 ambidextrous innovation strategy.

Title: Upgrading of Symbolic and Synthetic Knowledge Bases: Evidence from the Chinese Automotive and Construction Industries 
Abstract:
 This paper deals with the question of how upgrading of the symbolic and
 synthetic knowledge bases takes place and, by doing so, we contribute to
 the upgrading literature by linking upgrading with the concept of the
 differentiated knowledge bases. We discern a number of upgrading
 mechanisms, and based on empirical evidence from the construction industry
 and the automotive industry in China, we show that the main upgrading
 mechanisms for symbolic knowledge include &#x201c;learning-by-interacting
 in project teams&#x201d; and &#x201c;monitoring&#x201d;, while upgrading

Title: Growth of <italic>De Alio</italic> and <italic>De Novo</italic> firms in the new and renewable energy industry 
Abstract:
 Firms entering new markets are either <italic>de alio</italic>, with
 business experience in other areas, or <italic>de novo</italic>, without
 such experience. <italic>De alio</italic> firms enter markets in
 advantageous situations, while <italic>de novo</italic> firms enter
 markets with innovation capabilities. This study determines whether
 <italic>de alio</italic> or <italic>de novo</italic> firms achieve faster
 sales growth as well as the duration of their growth when they enter the
 new and renewable energy industry. Panel data for global companies that
 entered the new and renewable energy industry after the 1990s show that
 <italic>de alio</italic> firms achieved higher growth rate than did
 <italic>de novo</italic> firms in the initial stages, but that entry
 type&#x2019;s contribution to sales growth gradually decreased and
 disappeared four years after entrance. The results indicate that
 accumulated resources and new entrants&#x2019; former experiences in other
 industries have positive effects, contributing to initial success after
 market entry for a limited time. This finding suggests that firms improve
 the R&Cs (resources and capabilities) that are appropriate to their new
 environments for sustainable development.

Title: The Performance of Independent Active SMEs in French Competitiveness Clusters 
Abstract:
 This article analyses the evolution of independent members of French
 independent competitiveness clusters. It compares small and medium-sized
 enterprises (SMEs) that participated in collaborative research projects,
 funded by French competitiveness clusters, against similar control
 companies that were not part of such projects and not funded by the
 policy, over the period 2005--2013. French competitiveness clusters seek
 to enhance SMEs&#x2019; size, performance, innovation and employment; the
 current study therefore assesses their outcomes in terms of capital
 invested and equity returns. The findings from a difference-in-differences
 analysis reveal that sales, employment, R&D investments, and value added
 all increase in relative terms, but financial returns exhibit significant
 relative decreases for the smallest companies, whereas larger firms record
 strong increases. The inability of the smallest SMEs to reap gains from
 their cluster membership should be a matter of great concern to both
 companies and policy-makers.

Title: Intangible investments and innovation propensity: Evidence from the Innobarometer 2013 
Abstract:
 This paper investigates the innovation impact of intangible investments.
 Drawing on the resource-based view of the firm, we argue that through
 intangible investments, companies acquire knowledge assets that increase
 their innovativeness. However, a greater innovation impact is expected
 from investing more in technological intangibles rather than in
 intangibles overall, and a greater one from using internal versus external
 resources. Through a new survey on a large sample of firms in 36
 countries, accounting for different intangibles and addressing their
 endogeneity through proper instruments, these hypotheses are partially
 confirmed. Developing intangibles internally is actually the most
 innovation-impacting aspect, but not in manufacturing. Instead, by
 controlling for this choice and for that of investing in technological
 intangibles, the intensity of intangible resources is significant for
 innovation in manufacturing only. Policy/strategic implications about the
 need of readdressing the boost to intangible investments for the sake of
 innovation in Europe are drawn accordingly.

Title: Adoption readiness in service innovation: the case of digital money 
Abstract:
 One challenge for firms seeking to develop new services is to understand
 the conditions likely to affect the rates of adoption. Understanding
 relative degrees of &#x2018;adoption readiness&#x2019; provides innovators
 with information to choose market segments and indicates opportunities to
 influence adoption environments. However, there is a little research into
 the adoption readiness of countries upon which firms can base their new
 service development decisions. This paper considers these issues through
 the case of digital money, a service innovation some claim to have the
 potential to provide major economic and social benefits. Defined as
 &#x2018;currency exchange by electronic means&#x2019;, we conceptualise
 digital money as a socio-technical system, and propose a Digital Money
 Readiness Index. This composite index integrates institutional, financial,
 technological, economic, industrial and social attributes to measure
 adoption readiness. We identify four stages of readiness and
 systematically analyse the factors that drive under or over adoption of
 digital money technologies.

Title: Product innovation success based on cancer research in the pharmaceutical industry: co-publication networks and the effects of partners 
Abstract:
 This paper builds upon the literature which provides conflicting
 theoretical insights and empirical results concerning the importance of
 companies&#x2019; collaborative relations, their position within a network
 of collaborative relations and the effects on their innovative
 performance. Taking the importance of collaborations and networks in the
 pharmaceutical industry into account, the paper untangles the influence of
 the firm&#x2019;s co-publication relations with different types of
 partners and its network position on the company&#x2019;s product
 innovation in a specific disease area&#x2014;cancer. We find rather robust
 evidence that in particular, companies&#x2019; indirect connections within
 the co-publication network, including connections to academic institutions
 and biotechnology companies, support product innovation. In contrast to
 evidence in the strategic alliance literature, direct co-publication links
 to biotechnology companies do not support product innovation in terms of
 new cancer medications.

Title: From outsourcing to productivity, passing through training: microeconometric evidence from Italy 
Abstract:
 This paper provides firm-level evidence on the short-run link between
 outsourcing and productivity using an original data-set of Italian
 manufacturing firms and estimating a recursive system of three equations.
 We find a positive correlation between productivity and outsourcing only
 if firms provide training for the workforce. This indirect impact is
 significant only in the case of production outsourcing and when training
 is provided off the job to top and middle managers. The rationale is that
 production outsourcing induces a re-organization of the production process
 requiring workers to learn and adapt through formal training activities.

Title: The role of firm R&D effort and collaboration as mediating drivers of innovation policy effectiveness 
Abstract:
 This paper investigates the impact of firm R&D policies supporting R&D
 investment and collaboration on company innovation performance. Individual
 and cooperative R&D investments are considered as intermediate outcomes
 (input and behavioural additionality, respectively) contributing to the
 final outcome (probability of product innovation). We use a treatment
 random coefficient model to estimate the policy additionality on a panel
 data-set merging the third and the fourth wave of the Italian Community
 Innovation Survey. Results show a significant and positive policy impact
 on company propensity to product innovation only for the input
 additionality and for the interaction between the input and the
 cooperative additionality. This occurs when company cooperation scores
 overcome a given threshold, in accordance with the assumption that
 cooperation entails benefits but also coordination costs.

Title: Institutional stability and industry renewal: diverging trajectories in the Cognac beverage cluster 
Abstract:
 Adding to approaches highlighting network dynamics as a basis for regional
 economic development, increased attention is paid to institutions as
 contextual factors contributing to explaining how and why economies
 change. Research has shown that firms tend to react differently to the
 same institutional configurations, with the main explanatory factors being
 their sectoral backgrounds and intra-firm characteristics. This study adds
 to these insights by examining a regional economy in France, that of
 Cognac, in which 300 firms are operating under homogeneous institutional
 preconditions. Despite these similarities, we identify different
 development trajectories from the 1990s onwards. Our observations
 illustrate how firms&#x2019; responses to external change diverge and
 bring them on different trajectories due to different positions in the
 industry hierarchy and different experiences and capabilities among
 individuals within firms. The study contributes to the better
 understanding of mechanisms of path dependence, which have gained wide
 recognition in the literature in the recent decades.

Title: Not too close, not too far: testing the Goldilocks principle of &#x2018;optimal&#x2019; distance in innovation networks 
Abstract:
 This paper analyses how the formation of collaboration networks affects
 firm-level innovation by applying the &#x2018;Goldilocks
 principle&#x2019;. The &#x2018;Goldilocks principle&#x2019; of optimal
 distance in innovation networks postulates that the best firm-level
 innovation results are achieved when the partners involved in the network
 are located at the &#x2018;right&#x2019; distance, i.e. &#x2018;not too
 close and not too far&#x2019; from one another, across non-geographical
 proximity dimensions. This principle is tested on a survey of 542
 Norwegian firms conducted in 2013, containing information about firm-level
 innovation activities and key innovation partners. The results of the
 ordinal logit regression analysis substantiate the Goldilocks principle,
 as the most innovative firms are found among those that collaborate with
 partners at medium levels of proximity for all non-geographical
 dimensions. The analysis also underscores the importance of the presence
 of a substitution--innovation mechanism, with geographical distance
 problems being compensated by proximity in other dimensions as a driver of
 innovation, while there is no support for a potential overlap--innovation
 mechanism.

Title: The role of innovation and agglomeration for employment growth in the environmental sector 
Abstract:
 The environmental sector is supposed to yield a dual benefit: its goods
 and services are intended to tackle environmental challenges and its
 establishments should create new jobs. However, it is still unclear in
 empirical terms whether that really is the case. This paper investigates
 to what extent employment growth in establishments with green products and
 services is higher compared to other establishments. Furthermore, the main
 factors determining labour demand in this field are analysed. We use
 linked employment and regional data for Germany. The descriptive results
 show that the environmental sector is characterised by disproportionately
 high employment growth. The application of a generalised linear mixed
 model reveals that especially innovation and industry agglomeration foster
 employment growth in establishments in the environmental sector.
 Establishments without green products and services show a smaller increase
 in employment, even if they are also innovative.

Title: The influence of industrial policy and national systems of innovation on emerging economy suppliers&#x2019; learning capability 
Abstract:
 This paper links the industrial policy and national systems of innovation
 literature to the investigation of learning capabilities of suppliers in
 the context of the automotive parts industry of Pakistan. Drawing data
 from 50 Pakistani autoparts suppliers, the findings suggest that
 industrial policy has been helpful in creating a local parts supply base
 and facilitating the entry of Japanese assemblers in the market. However,
 the implementation of the policy has been weak, and it is an arduous
 journey for the local suppliers to develop ambidextrous (exploratory and
 exploitative) learning capabilities. The findings also indicate that where
 local training and support from R&D institutions are weak, networking
 alone with foreign multinationals is not sufficient on its own to develop
 exploratory learning capabilities of local suppliers. This paper shows the
 importance of creating national--provincial institutions offering learning
 and skills development aimed towards innovation.

Title: Local game, global rules: exploring technological heterogeneity exploitation in digital creative cluster evolution 
Abstract:
 Cluster evolution research suggests that maintaining an optimal
 technological heterogeneity that is exploitable by cluster actors is key
 to sustainable cluster development. This paper argues that exploring this
 optimal span and its influence on local synergy creation calls for
 understanding the interaction between cluster actions, local conditions
 for collaboration, and heterogeneity requirements over time. For this
 purpose, a longitudinal case study is conducted, tracing the development
 of a digital creative cluster that has experienced the initiation, rise,
 and decline of local technological heterogeneity exploitation. By applying
 institutional logics as a sensitising device, the analysis explores how
 actors interact with local and theme structures in this process. Findings
 show how hub-firms draw on creative norms and technologies to produce
 situated heterogeneity requirements. These are assessed with co-location
 factors and accumulated experience of local collaboration to produce local
 organising rationales that guides decisions to engage in local
 collaboration.

Title: Inequality and marginalisation: social innovation, social entrepreneurship and business model innovation
Abstract: 
 Nowadays societies face many societal challenges, among which increasing inequality and marginalisation. This paper uses this key to read the discussion undertaken during the DRUID Conference 2015 ‘Relevance of Innovation’, held at LUISS Business School (Rome, IT). We focus on the speeches, sessions, and debates that were hosted at the conference. We expand them and build on them to advance scholarly discussion on how social innovation, social entrepreneurship and business model innovation can be used to face inequality and marginalisation. The main idea we place at the centre of the discussion is empowerment of marginalised individuals by social innovation initiatives and social entrepreneurial ventures. Business model innovation is seen as instrumental to this, being a crucial tool to foster hybrid organisations and institutions able to merge the social and economic dimensions.

Title: Innovation and within-firm wage inequalities: empirical evidence from major European countries
Abstract: 
 A large literature links wage inequality to technology, but it does not explicitly consider whether innovation contributes to shaping wage inequalities within firms. In this work we seek to fill this gap, exploiting a representative matched employer–employee survey on firms active in major European economies. We find that innovation tends to increase the wage-gap between high and low deciles of the within-firm wage distribution, while it reduces the wage-gap between wages of managers and low-layer employees. Moreover, firm size plays a crucial mediating role, as we find that large innovative firms are more egalitarian than their small counterparts, irrespective of the measure of within-firm wage inequality considered.

Title: Hybridisation of diverging institutional logics through common-note practices – an analogy with music and the case of social enterprises
Abstract: 
 Hybrid organisations exhibit high degree of innovativeness, but also instability due to the conflicting institutional logics underpinning their activities. We enrich the discussion on how to reconcile conflicting logics in hybrid organisations using the analogy with music theory. In particular, we get inspiration from a technique used to modulate conflicting harmonies by means of the notes they have in common (common-notes) to derive ideas on how to compose conflicting logics by means of the practices they have in common. We illustrate these ideas in the specific case of social enterprises, showing that practices able to ‘unblock’ a marginalised individual’s value creation capabilities can be considered common-note practices allowing the social enterprise to fruitfully and sustainably combine commercial and social welfare logics.

Title: Business model innovation for sustainability: exploring evolutionary and radical approaches through dynamic capabilities
Abstract: 
 The purpose of this paper is to examine the organisational processes of business model innovation for sustainability (BMIS). Building on dynamic capabilities literature, BMIS is conceptualised to evolutionary and radical approaches, and disaggregated into different sensing, seizing and reconfiguring capabilities. Based on this conceptual framework, we examine a qualitative multiple case study of eight companies in the Spanish Basque region, and provide a detailed analysis of how organisational and managerial capabilities for sustainability are utilised in business model innovation and transformation. These insights provide novel theoretical and practical insights into the business model, innovation and sustainability literatures.

Title: Business model innovations for overcoming barriers in the base-of-the-pyramid market
Abstract: 
 Many barriers must be overcome when entering the base-of-the-pyramid (BoP) market. Firms facing these barriers need to innovate new business models and reinvent existing ones to suit the BoP context. While previous literature has focused on the innovations of particular components of business models in BoP markets, we investigate the reconfigurations in the business model components that underpin the successful business model innovations. This study is based on multiple case studies in the water sector that we carried out in several different countries. Our findings suggest five business model innovations: (a) design, (b) renewal, (c) expansion, (d) diversification and (e) replication. Each business model innovation is a specific response to the barriers met in the BoP market and requires consistent configuration between its various components (i.e. value proposition, value creation and profit equation). These findings add, in two important aspects, to the academic realm of the business model domain: by contributing to the debate of business models in BoP markets and by advancing the configurational view of business models.

Title: How do firms capture value from environmental innovations? An empirical analysis on European SMEs
Abstract: 
 How do SMEs exploit their environmental innovations on the market? This paper aims at exploring the factors affecting the choice of alternative green innovation strategies. It looks, in particular at the adoption of Environmental Management System (EMS) vs. green patents, and at the possible implementation of a bundle of the two, and investigates the role of sectoral characteristics in shaping firms’ strategic decisions. Relying upon a sample of 8797 European SMEs, we study the factors associated with the adoption of one or more strategies to capture value from green innovations. Results show that both firm characteristics – size and innovative activity – and sectoral specificities in terms of output tangibility, knowledge intensity and consumer vs. business orientation, matter in the adoption of different green innovation strategies.

Title: Co-creation of social innovations and new professional institutions: diffusion of therapeutic patient education (TPE) for diabetes in Austria
Abstract: 
 The paper examines the link between institutional change and the development and diffusion of social innovations. Patient-centred education in diabetes is a radical social innovation that alters the social and medical relationship between patients and medics. This paper discusses the ways in which institutional work conducted by national and international professional associations has shaped development and diffusion of this social innovation within the Austrian health system. The case study contributes to our understanding of social innovation and institutional change in two respects. First, it highlights the need for purposive institutional work in order to disrupt pre-existing institutions and, thereby, ensure the development and diffusion of a social innovation amongst a community of medical practitioners. Second, the case shows the overtly political work, policing and educating work that professional associations undertook with funding bodies and key policy-makers in order to develop a national programme for diabetes education.

Title: Co-delivery of social innovations: exploring the university’s role in academic engagement with society
Abstract: 
 The paper provides a tripartite definition of social innovations, a type of public good involving collective action by multiple stakeholders. This public good can be regarded as a service, as it is co-delivered based on the development of multiple network and partner relationships. In explaining what social innovations are and how they are delivered, much research emphasises the role of NGOs and community-based collective action. This article starts by observing that universities can play various roles in social innovation, then theoretically explains how and why universities are involved in providing this public good. These roles have been neglected with the recent emphasis on university commercialisation, for example, via patents and start-ups. We use this insight to propose a conceptual framework for understanding how and why universities can organise the co-delivery of social innovations through education. This framework is illustrated with a case study, leading to propositions for later research.

Title: Social innovation for urban liveability. Empirical evidence from the Italian third sector
Abstract: 
 Large cities are currently at the centre of important growth trajectories, but social polarisation and environmental degradation impair the daily life of many citizens. Social innovation has emerged as a promising approach to tackle the challenge of urban liveability. Nevertheless, our understanding of the processes through which social innovations are developed and managed in critical sectors for large cities is still somewhat limited. This paper has analysed 19 case studies pertaining to third sector organisations operating in large Italian cities to find out how they produce social innovations and enhance urban liveability. The empirical results have revealed that these initiatives address some of previously neglected needs of citizens through flexible mode of service provision and gradual implementation of a bundle of services. In many cases, they include a diverse base of users and involve volunteers. Enhanced accessibility and equity have been shown to be the most pervasive liveability effects.

Title: Understanding social innovation in services industries
Abstract: 
 This paper puts forward a framework for understanding the relationship between service industries and social innovation. These are two, previously disconnected research areas. The paper explores ways in which innovation in services is increasingly becoming one of social innovation (in terms of social goals, social means, social roles and multi-agent provision) and how social innovation can be understood from a service innovation perspective. A taxonomy is proposed based on the mix between innovation nature and the locus of co-production. The paper additionally puts forward a theoretical framework for understanding social innovation in services, where the co-creation of innovation is the result of an interaction of competences and preferences of multiple providers, users/citizens, and policy-makers. This provides the basis for a discussion of key avenues for future research in theory, measurement, organisation, appropriation, performance measurement and public policy. This provides a context for the papers presented in this special issue.

Title: Technological achievements in entrepreneurial firms &#x2013; legacy, value chain experience, and division of innovation labour
Abstract: 
 This paper examines whether founders&#x2019; origin is systematically associated with the technological orientation of their new established organisation. Using an exploratory design, we empirically investigate how the technological achievements of organisations are associated with the founder&#x2019;s prior experience identifying where in the industry&#x2019;s value chain the founder worked previously. Using a unique dataset of Swedish and Danish biotechnology start-up firms, we explore the relationship between the founders&#x2019; prior position in the value chain and the technological achievements of their start-up. Firms established by founders from academia tend to perform well in early stages of technology development, while firms established by founders from further up the value chain tend to exhibit technological achievements in the later stages of development. Building on these results, we discuss possible mechanisms that may trigger these empirical regularities and propose that these mechanisms cause a division of innovation labour among biotechnology start-ups.

Title: The effects of R&amp;D subsidies and network embeddedness on R&amp;D output: evidence from the German biotech industry
Abstract: 
 Although policy makers subsidize firms&#x2019; R&amp;D projects to increase innovational output in an industry, region, or country, it remains unclear whether such subsidization triggers additional R&amp;D efforts or crowds out private investments. To address this question, we assess the effectiveness of subsidization for individual and collaborative research in the German biotech industry while also examining the relevance of network embeddedness for patent output. Our results indicate that subsidies do lead to increased patent output, with additional benefits from involvement in more than one project. However, the amount of money is only significant under certain circumstances. Also, it is higher degree centrality in the firm network that significantly increases R&amp;D success.

Title: Exploration, exploitation and innovation performance: disentangling the evolution of industry
Abstract: 
 The evolution of industry has recently attracted the attention of scholars studying the relationships between exploration and exploitation strategies and innovation performance. Surprisingly, although extant research has already acknowledged its multidimensional character, it has only been analyzed in an aggregate fashion. In this paper, we distinguish two components of the evolution of industry, the pace of market evolution and the pace of technology evolution, and we elaborate on their different impacts in the context of exploration and exploitation strategies. More precisely, we argue that while a rapid pace of technology evolution has opposite impacts on the relationships between exploration (positive), exploitation (negative) and innovation performance, a rapid pace of market evolution positively affects both exploration and exploitation. Our findings provide substantial support for our prediction using a large panel of Spanish innovating firms for the period 2008&#x2013;2012.

Title: Innovation and firm growth over the business cycle
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates how the macroeconomic business cycle impacts the empirical relation between innovation and firm growth. Based on representative panel data of Swiss firms ranging from 1996 to 2014, the paper finds that firms with innovations based on R&amp;D activities show higher sales growth rates than non-innovative firms in periods dominated by economic recessions. This finding is in line with the idea that recessions play an important role in the adaptation process of the economy towards the innovative. In contrast, the paper finds that firms with innovations based on other, non-R&amp;D innovation activities show higher sales growth rates than non-innovative firms in periods dominated by economic booms. Hence, while firms with innovations based on R&amp;D activities are more resilient to business cycle fluctuations than non-innovative firms, firms with innovations based on other, non-R&amp;D innovations activities are more sensitive to business cycle fluctuations than non-innovative firms.

Title: Innovation strategies, external knowledge and productivity growth
Abstract: 
 This paper studies firms&#x2032; capability to recombine internal and local knowledge. It measures the outcome in terms of total productivity growth. Using Swedish data on commuting time for face-to-face contacts across all 290 municipalities, we employ a time-sensitive approach for calculating localized knowledge within a municipality and and its close neighbors. Internal knowledge is captured by register data on firms&#x2019; innovation intensity. The two sources of knowledge are modeled in a production function setting by discrete composite variables with different combinations of input factors. Applying the model on Swedish firm level panel data, we find strong evidence of differences in the capacity to benefit from external knowledge among persistent innovators, temporary innovators and non-innovators. The results are consistent regardless of whether innovation efforts are measured in terms of the frequency of patent applications or the level of R&amp;D investment.

Title: Small worlds, inheritance networks and industrial clusters
Abstract: 
 The performance of firms within industrial clusters has been the subject of a multitude of studies. The organizational attributes inherited by spinoffs from parent firms is one explanation behind performance premiums. This paper examines the relationship between a spinoff’s network and its geographic location in an industrial cluster. We hypothesize that there is a negative relationship between a spinoff’s network efficiency and its distance from the cluster’s centroid. Although recent literature infers that the transmission of knowledge in industrial clusters is accomplished via inherited network ties, this has not been directly measured. This paper aims to fill that research gap. We find that, after controlling for firm size, parent size and age, there is indeed a statistically significant and negative relationship between network efficiency and geographic distance to a cluster’s core.

Title: The impact of diversifying and de novo firms on regional innovation performance in an emerging industry: a longitudinal study of the U.S. ethanol industry
Abstract: 
 There is growing interest among strategy scholars and policy makers regarding the influence of diversifying and de novo firms on regional innovation activities in emerging industries. This paper examines how the population, entry, and exit of diversifying and de novo firms in regions influence regional innovation output in an emerging industry. Using longitudinal data from the U.S. ethanol industry, we find that the local population and exit of diversifying and de novo firms have differing impacts on regional innovation output. Our findings contribute to the literature on firm heterogeneity, agglomeration, and regional innovation systems.

 This article casts light on the development of new regional industrial paths. We explore factors explaining why regional industries with similar early path development trajectories may exhibit diverging outcomes in the longer run and pay particular attention to the role of ‘outsiders’ in the initiation and further development of regional industrial paths. Drawing on a comparative case study of IT industries in Linköping and Karlskrona, two medium-sized Swedish city regions, we find that the inflow of outsiders was an important driver of early path development processes. However, we find that the interplay between regional preconditions and arriving outsiders, and between outsiders and existing actors, substantially shaped the long-term sustainability of the industrial paths in our study. In particular, the role of agency in fostering positive self-reinforcing mechanisms and structure–agency dynamics are highlighted as key factors for understanding how new industrial development paths are unfolding in the longer term.

Title: Knowledge transfer in time of crisis: evidence from the Trentino region
Abstract: 
 The last decade has shown a shift of focus of the literature on networks to a more dynamic perspective, and towards the study of mechanisms that drive network evolution inside regions. The strategic behaviour of network agents and the evolution of networks may be affected by the occurrence of macroeconomic events external to the region. This paper assesses the impact of different factors on the trust created between agents through repetition of previous collaborations before and after the global economic recession of 2008. Main findings show that actors in periods of crisis prefer collaboration with trustful actors with whom they cooperated in the past, than to actors with whom they share common characteristics (proximities). In high-risk periods, the knowledge network is more inert, while in low risk periods, actors prefer to expand the knowledge network of the region, investing in global pipelines and importing knowledge from distant regions.

Title: Music industry intermediation in the digital era and the resilience of the Majors’ oligopoly: the role of transactional capability
Abstract: 
 The digital revolution has significantly impacted the music industry by lowering barriers to entry. This change is usually depicted as endangering the big incumbent firms, the so-called ‘Majors’ (Universal, Sony, and Warner). Yet, market indicators show that the majors’ leadership has not declined. In part thanks to the application of a 360° business model made possible by digitization, they have been able to sustain their position. However, there is still a lack of theoretical account as well as empirical evidence for understanding how this model has been implemented by the Majors. This paper uses the concept of transactional capabilities in order to explain this switch towards 360° business model : majors have relied on a new type of competences, more oriented towards the completion of multiple transactions in parallel with heterogeneous actors. We illustrate this point with the case study of the French arm of Sony Music Entertainment.

Title: Complementarity in alliance portfolios and firm innovation
Abstract: 
 This paper assesses the impact on firm innovation of combining alliance-specific and partner-specific attributes within a firm’s alliance portfolio. In a panel data analysis of the innovation performance of 119 firms operating in the pharmaceutical industry during 1985–2007, we test whether firm’s alliance portfolio displays complementarities across four dimensions. The results suggest that specific combinations of attributes may diminish innovation by decreasing the efficiency of diversity management or by generating redundancies. On the other hand, other alliance portfolio practices are mutually reinforcing and thus foster innovation.

Title: The changing geography and ownership of value creation: evidence from mobile telecommunications
Abstract: 
 Through an innovative trade-in-task case study, we explore how Nokia, which is historically one of the most important mobile phone manufacturers in the world, offshored the development and production of three distinct mobile phones at three different points in time. Adjacent to these processes, we find that the value creation in areas such as design and manufacturing knowledge has rapidly shifted away from advanced economies to emerging economies. Moreover, we find that the value added captured by Nokia decreased dramatically over the studied time period. Based on our results, we uss more generally the challenge of multinational corporations to preserve value and how the realisation of the benefits of offshoring must be assessed with respect to the altered requirements for controlling value-adding activities.

Title: Extraordinary LED installations: events for user–innovation interaction
Abstract: 
 Recent innovation research describes events as mechanism for innovation diffusion but does not explore their socio-material dimension. This study compares and conceptualises event settings that allow professional technology users to engage with an innovation before they adopt it. The focus is on temporary installations of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in lighting trade fairs and light festivals. LEDs are currently transforming the lighting field. This study focuses on the time when LED products were already on the market but demand was still low. Based on ethnographic research, it shows that in this critical situation, events offered professional users formats for trying and evaluating LED technology in event-specific ways. While trade fair displays promoted the adoption of LED products, festival projects allowed professional LED users to creatively adapt and shape the new technology. Theoretically, this study combines social-scientific innovation research on events with social-constructivist studies on user–innovation interaction in a multi-level conceptual framework.

Title: Technology-push and demand-pull factors in emerging sectors: evidence from the electric vehicle market
Abstract: 
 Despite consensus on the mutual dependence of the technology-push and demand-pull factors, their interactions can depend on industry life cycles and domestic market status. Using patent and Google search traffic data, this study brings robust evidence supporting the hypothesis that technology development occurs ahead of market demand in the U.S. electric vehicle sector, while this is not the case in Germany. Market demand does not precede technology development in either country. This shows the importance of the technology-push factor and the role of the lead market in the electric vehicle sector. This study elaborates technology-push and demand-pull hypotheses with a focus on industry life cycles and domestic market status and contributes to the discussion on technology-push, demand-pull and mixed policies in emerging sectors.

Title: Trademark or patent? The effects of market concentration, customer type and venture capital financing on start-ups’ initial IP applications
Abstract: 
 We analyse the initial IP applications of 4,703 start-ups in the U.S., distinguishing between trademark and patent applications. Our empirical results show that start-ups are more likely to file for trademarks instead of patents when entering markets with a higher market concentration. Furthermore, we find that start-ups that are primarily active in business-to-consumer markets instead of business-to-business markets are more likely to file trademarks. Finally, the involvement of a venture capitalist (VC) affects the initial IP application. VC-backed start-ups are more likely than other start-ups to file initial IP in the form of trademarks rather than patents. This paper contributes to research on the use of IP rights in start-ups and to the literature on new venture strategy.

Title: Innovation, creative destruction and structural change: firm-level evidence from European countries
Abstract: 
 The shift of employment from lower to higher productive firms is an important driver for structural change and industry dynamics. We investigate this reallocation in terms of employment gains and losses from innovation. New employment created by product innovation may be offset by employment losses in related products, known as ‘cannibalisation’ or ‘business stealing’ effects in the literature, by employment losses from process and organisational innovation and by general productivity increases. The paper investigates this effect empirically with a large data set from the European Community Innovation Survey. We find that employment gains and losses increase with technology intensity of the sector. High-technology manufacturing shows the strongest employment gains and losses from innovation, followed by knowledge-intensive services, low-technology manufacturing and less knowledge-intensive services. The net contribution of innovation to employment growth is mostly positive, an exception being manufacturing industries in recession periods.

Title: Entrepreneurial acquisitions, open innovation and UK high growth SMEs
Abstract: 
 This paper examines the dynamics of entrepreneurial acquisitions undertaken by UK high growth small and medium enterprises (SMEs). While entrepreneurial acquisitions are increasingly deployed by SMEs, little is known about their antecedents, motivational drivers and organisational outcomes. Drawing on detailed case study evidence from Scotland, the key factor found to be driving these acquisitions was the desire to augment and exploit technological complementarities between the acquiring and acquired firms. Acquisition can therefore be conceptualised as an advanced stage of the outside-in ‘open innovation’ strategies proactively used within these innovative SMEs. Firms executing this strategy typically have an acute propensity for risk, a desire for close customer engagement, effective business models and strong external orientation. The work suggests that greater attention should be paid within M&amp;A theory to the dynamics of these types of smaller scale entrepreneurial acquisitions.

Title: Entrepreneurial networks and open innovation: the role of strategic and embedded ties
Abstract: 
 This paper considers the open innovation paradigm in the context of entrepreneurial firms. Based on an analysis of survey data, it examines the relationship between network ties and innovation. These are considered as the strategic network ties associated with open innovation and the embedded ties associated with entrepreneurial networks. It is found that both strategic and embedded ties are significantly associated with rates of innovation for entrepreneurial firms, although for the former this relationship is driven by a minority of larger or highly innovative firms. Strategic ties are most strongly linked to product and organisational innovations, whilst process innovations are more related to embedded network ties. There is some evidence of complementarity between the two forms of network tie. It is concluded that in the entrepreneurial context, the open innovation concept should be broadened to encompass the role performed by embedded network ties.

Title: Catching-up with supermajors: the technology factor in building the competitive power of national oil companies from developing economies
Abstract: 
 The paper investigates the role of technology in the growing competitive potential of state-controlled national oil companies (NOCs) from developing countries. The technological development of NOCs is analyzed in the context of their increasing rivalry with supermajors, which have dominated the global oil and gas industry for decades. The author reveals the main features of NOCs&#x2019; catch-up development amid the dynamic changes in the competitive landscape of the global oil industry. These trends were analyzed against the background of the current phase of the oil industry&#x2019;s technological evolution. The paper concludes that although rapid technological growth did become a key strategic priority of many NOCs, only very small group of them managed to achieve equal footing with traditional industry leaders. For the majority of the remaining NOCs, the existing limitations related to the policy of their home state did not allow them to narrow the technological gap with global supermajors.

Title: Research, development and growth in state-owned enterprises: empirical evidence from Ecuador
Abstract: 
 Investment in R&amp;D is essential for the survival and growth of organizations. Recent literature has focused on the study of effects of R&amp;D on the growth of private companies. However, there is no research studying the effects of R&amp;D on the growth of Latin American public companies. This paper estimates, using an endogenous growth model, the effect of investments in R&amp;D on sales growth in public enterprises of Ecuador. Data corresponding to a sample of 86 public companies have been taken from the Survey of Activities of Science and Technology (ACTI) of Ecuador for the period 2012 to 2014. These data are estimated by OLS. The results show that there is a statistically significant positive relation between investment in research and development and the growth of sales in public companies.

Title: Innovation output and state ownership: empirical evidence from China&#x2019;s listed firms
Abstract: 
 China has experienced a surge in innovation output in which state-owned enterprises (SOE) play an essential role. Using panel data of Chinese listed firms, this paper examines the influence of state ownership on innovation output at the firm level. Controlling for size, we analyse the effects of central and local government control on the number of firms&#x2019; patent applications in different time periods. Doing so, standard assumptions on state ownership&#x2019;s inhibiting character are confirmed. However, we then qualify these findings by running separate models for different regions and sectors finding that the impact of state-control on innovation performance depends on a number of conditions. More precisely, state control of firms has a negative impact on innovation output in particular in China&#x2019;s Northeast region and in mid-tech sectors whereas under other circumstances it does either not matter or can even exert a positive influence.

Title: Open innovation in Russian state-owned enterprises
Abstract: 
 This paper studies open innovation practices in Russian state-owned enterprises (SOEs). In 2011, the Russian Government set ambitious goals in science, technology and innovation, and uses its large SOEs as channels to achieve these targets. These initiatives focus on the collaboration among innovation actors and introduce open innovation (OI) principles. Based on a large-scale innovation survey, we compare private enterprises to state-owned peers and present selected case studies. Our data support the claim that Russian SOEs are driving the demand for technology and mainly absorb incoming OI activities. Different to their peers, SOEs extend their OI activities to the country&#x2019;s knowledge producers, such as research and technology organisations (RTOs), and leading universities. They work on incorporating scientific knowledge that could, indeed, hold the key to globally competitive technological innovations, but also have better capabilities to include business partners.Abbreviation

Title: State-owned enterprises as knowledge-explorer agents
Abstract: 
 This paper deals with the role of the State Owned enterprises (SOEs) in innovation processes. Only a few studies focus on the contribution SOEs as companies might give to produce new knowledge and technological innovation. We argue, however, that SOEs are a pillar of the innovation process and we explore conditions that can make SOEs very effective. Through two in-depth case studies in two different industries (STMicroelectronics in the semiconductor and Thales Alenia Space in the space industry) we illustrate how SOEs can contribute to innovation by exploring new opportunities and recombining different sources of knowledge. We highlight the conditions that can make exploration and recombination possible. We also highlight the ability of the two companies to change their boundaries through a continuous wave of agreements, mergers and acquisitions. This way, they were able to expand beyond their domains in a way that matched the evolution of their original industries.

Title: Modularity in KIBS: The Case of Third-Party Logistics Service Providers
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates service modularity and inter-organizational coupling in knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS). While KIBS literature traditionally emphasizes tight client–provider interactions with service customization, modularity literature emphasizes inter-organizational decoupling with service standardization. We disentangle this tension by exploring how KIBS firms utilize service modularity and shape their client–provider relationships in terms of information and knowledge sharing. Conducting two in-depth case studies of third-party logistics (TPLs), we show that TPLs extensively rely on service modularity with standard procedures as their constitutive element. We also demonstrate that service modularity and inter-organizational decoupling are aligned for knowledge sharing but not for information sharing, which remains high regardless of the service architecture. Overall, we suggest that modularity in KIBS differs in many aspects from modularity in products and that these differences significantly impact the organizational design consequences of service modularity. Theoretical and managerial implications are drawn.

Title: How Similar is Innovation in German, Italian and Spanish Medium-Technology Sectors? Implications for the Sectoral Systems of Innovation and Distance-to-the-Frontier Perspectives
Abstract: 
 This study analyzes innovation activities in medium-technology sectors in Germany, Italy and Spain and checks whether cross-country similarities or differences prevail. The results have important implications for the Sectoral Systems of Innovation and the Distance-to-the-Frontier frameworks. While the Sectoral Systems of Innovation predicts the existence of technology-related similarities in innovative patterns in the same sectors across countries, the Distance-to-the Frontier suggests the existence of relevant differences related with the level of technological development of each national sector. Using Community Innovation Survey data and adapting an econometric strategy first devised by Griffith, Huergo, Mairesse and Peters [Innovation and Productivity Across four European Countries, Oxford Review of Economic Policy, 22(4), 483–498, 2006], I test whether similarities or differences prevail across country in different features of innovation activity. The results show that relevant differences between the three countries exist in the intensity of R&amp;D activities and in the economic impact of different types of innovations, providing support to the Distance-to-the-Frontier hypothesis. On the contrary, cross-country similarities emerge among the sources of knowledge used to develop innovations, in line with the Sectoral Systems of Innovation framework. The results highlight the importance to take into account both frameworks for a useful analysis of innovation within sectors and across countries.

Title: Social Ties and Indigenous Innovation in China's Transition Economy: The Moderating Effects of Learning Intent
Abstract: 
 This study advances research on innovation by unfolding a particular innovation type, indigenous innovation, into three patterns (i.e., original innovation, integrative innovation and re-innovation). We examine how social network ties (business and institutional) influence indigenous innovation and the moderating effects of learning intent. Results from 270 Chinese firms indicate an inverted U-shaped relationship between business network ties and each pattern of indigenous innovation. In contrast, institutional network ties affect original innovation in the shape of an inverted U, while they facilitate integrative innovation and re-innovation in a linear manner. Learning intent shows significant moderating effects on these main relationships.

Title: UK Fashion Designers Working in Micro-sized Enterprises; Attitudes to Locational Resources, Their Peers and the Market
Abstract: 
 This paper contributes to an understanding of the importance of locally based resources and interactions in a globalised industry, fashion design. It examines the product design stage of the fashion production chain, rather than the manufacture and commercialisation of apparel products. We studied the use of their geographies by UK-based fashion designers working in micro-sized enterprises ( &lt; 10 employees) especially because of their likely sensitivity to various aspects of proximity, including their dependence on external resources to supplement their own. Factor and cluster analysis identified four different types of designers, which differed in the manner in which they interacted with peers and markets, and accessed location-based resources. The paper advances explanations for the patterns of behaviour observed in the various clusters, and in making recommendations for further research predicts the types of design position each is likely to prefer.

Title: Labour mobility and organisational proximity: routines as supporting mechanisms for variety, skill integration and productivity
Abstract: 
 The aim of this paper is to introduce an organisational dimension to the discussion of knowledge flows and relatedness. We hypothesise that not only the degree of technological relatedness influence the extent of skill integration in a firm but also that familiarity with firm routines (intra-organisational proximity) should smoothen absorption. Longitudinal micro-data are used in pooled ordinary least square- and fixed effect models to estimate the impact on plant productivity growth of 18,051 labour flows within, and to, four large Swedish firms between 2003 and 2006. Our findings suggest that intra-regional related flows are economically beneficial. Their link to localised capabilities and community creates a weaker but more productive link between individuals than do organisational proximity, which generate too much similarity to allow for cognitively related inflows to impact productivity growth. Also, we find a positive relationship between unrelated flows and plant performance.

Title: Modes of inbound knowledge flows: are cooperation and outsourcing really complementary?
Abstract: 
 This study examines the relationship between breadths of two different modes of external knowledge: R&amp;D outsourcing and cooperation. Building upon transaction costs literature and literature on research partner breadth and R&amp;D outsourcing, we hypothesise an U-inverted relationship between outsourcing breadth and innovation performance and a complementary relationship between R&amp;D outsourcing and R&amp;D cooperation. The model is tested on a large sample based on CIS survey for Spain. The empirical analysis confirms the U-inverted relationship between outsourcing breadth and innovation and also reveals an interesting result: the complementary effect of R&amp;D cooperation varies with the level of R&amp;D outsourcing breadth and it is not confirmed for low and medium levels of R&amp;D outsourcing breadth. The results have important implications for theory on the selection of different modes of inbound open innovation and for managers and their cooperation and outsourcing strategies.

Title: Sources of information for innovation: the role of companies’ motivations
Abstract: 
 The paper analyses the information sources that companies use to innovate. The analysis compares two science-oriented sources of information (universities and public research institutes) with two market-oriented sources (clients and suppliers). The analysis demonstrates the importance of motivations as determinants of the sources of information used. Adding motivations to the established ‘structural’ explanations provides a new way of capturing companies’ search for information and emphasises the direction rather than the breadth of the search process. The results of this analysis also have implications both for policy-making and for companies’ managers, which are discussed in the paper’s conclusions.

Title: Sectoral dynamics and technological convergence: an evolutionary analysis of eco-innovation in the automotive sector
Abstract: 
 We know from evolutionary theory that sectoral characteristics are important to innovation. This paper investigates if sectoral characteristics also are important to eco-innovation, a hitherto under-researched theme. We argue that research into possible sectoral patterns in eco-innovation is key to understanding green industrial dynamics and the greening of the economy. This paper investigates to what degree the economy is greening horizontally (sector-wise). Starting with a sectoral case study, we undertake a longitudinal analysis of the breath and strength of the greening of the automotive sector from 1965 to 2012, focusing on powertrain technologies. The empirical analysis is based on patent data amongst big car producers and focuses on identifying changes in two main aspects: (1) the convergence/divergence of firms’ green strategies and technologies within the automotive sector; and (2) the contribution of alternative key green technological trajectories relative to the dominant design. Our findings indicate that the evolution of relative green patenting has followed a positive, linear growth over the last decades with increasing participation of alternative propulsion technologies and increasing convergence of automakers’ strategies towards a diversified portfolio.

Title: Why do entrepreneurs refuse venture capital?
Abstract: 
 Despite the evidence on the positive effect of venture capital (VC) on portfolio firm performance, such evidence badly pulls up alongside the non-negligible number of entrepreneurial firms that choose to refuse VC. This is the first study that investigates the determinants behind the missed realizations of VC investor-investee dyads by focusing on the Italian VC market. We theorize and empirically document that entrepreneurs’ human capital background and venture-specific characteristics influence the decision to accept or refuse VC. Specifically, our findings show that technically literate founders decrease the likelihood to refuse VC while family linkages in the ownership structure increase the likelihood to refuse VC.

Title: Combined innovation and export strategies of KIBS in different regional settings
Abstract: 
 This paper examines how KIBS establishments combine innovation and exports, and which factors are associated with these combinations. In particular, we hypothesize that KIBS establishments which both export and innovate will be over-represented in metropolitan regions, and under-represented in peripheral regions. Our analysis draws upon a sample of 429 innovative KIBS establishments in the province of Quebec (Canada). We show that strategies differ across space (but not as expected – metropolitan and peripheral strategies are similar), that T-KIBS’ strategies are associated with non-market information sources, and that P-KIBS' strategies are associated with information purchasing. P-KIBS’ and T-KIBS’ strategies vary with the performance of in-house R&D. Taken together, these results suggest that whereas KIBS’ choice of export and innovation strategies do not reflect their ‘hard’ or ‘soft’ nature, the factors associated with this choice do. The similarity between metropolitan and peripheral regions reflects the fact that Quebec’s resource-based peripheral economy is international and innovative.

Title: Competitive pressure: competitive reactions at the group-level
Abstract: 
 We offer a new perspective on competitive dynamics research by analyzing firms’ reactions to groups of rivals, both at the industry and the strategic group level. We propose that firms observe a buildup of rival actions and perceive increasing ‘competitive pressure’ to respond, which results in greater action volume. Data on the German mobile telephony supports our argument: the volume of firms’ actions is influenced by a buildup of actions by multiple rivals, and firms react more strongly to rivals in their own strategic group.

Title: Who creates jobs? Venture capital, research grants, and regional employment in the U.S.
Abstract: 
 We build on the exploratory and exploitative learning literature that suggests that venture capital and governmental research grants may impact regional employment in a different manner. Using a regional employment dataset in the U.S. (United States) medical device sector, our analysis reveals that research grants contribute to create a greater level of regional employment compared with venture capital funding. Furthermore, the positive effects of both funding sources are more salient when intellectual capital is abundant in the region. More specifically, the interaction effect of research grants and intellectual capital is gradually increased in the long term and eventually becomes greater than that of venture capital and intellectual capital, which is relatively constant. These findings highlight the heterogeneous motivations and consequences of two funding sources that should be considered in the future resource allocation policy accordingly.

Title: When do firms focus on public research? : evidence from U.S. medical device industry
Abstract: 
 Public research including universities and research institutes is an important source of innovation. This paper describes how a performance feedback model explains the conditions under which firms source external knowledge through universities and research institutes. In the U.S. medical device industry, we show that there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between performance below aspirations and knowledge sourcing from public research. Furthermore, we find that firms respond to historical aspirations more sensitively than social aspirations, and slack resources tend to attenuate the relationship between performance below historical aspirations and knowledge sourcing from public research.

Title: Advancing large-scale R&amp;D projects towards  through involvement of organizational knowledge integrators
Abstract: 
 Public and private funding bodies make massive investments in research to address the grand challenges of the world. These require collective research efforts of a large number of partners to generate knowledge and ultimately create technologies to meet today&#x2019;s grand challenges. Surprisingly, little research is conducted on how to design the research consortia appropriately that actually result in the development of new technologies. This article argues that when organisational knowledge integrators are involved in large-scale projects, they ensure that the research findings of earlier technology development efforts in a project are pulled towards innovation outcomes through their own position in the innovation value chain. This article uses a data-set with 376 collaborative R&amp;D projects within energy technologies. Most importantly, this article confirms the existence of organisational knowledge integrators and the positive effects on project outcomes. These results are discussed with implications drawn for both applicants and funding bodies for future projects.

Title: Once bitten, less shy? The influence of prior misappropriation experience on R&amp;D collaboration
Abstract: 
 Firms often face the challenge of collaborating for innovation and protecting themselves from misappropriation. Given this tension, we investigate the relationship between prior misappropriation of protected and unprotected intellectual property (IP) and R&amp;D collaboration. We combine more than 600 firm observations from the German Community Innovation Survey with patent data and qualitative interview data. Our results consistently point to (1) less subsequent R&amp;D collaboration after being copied (misappropriation of unprotected IP) and (2) more subsequent R&amp;D collaboration after being infringed (misappropriation of protected IP) in the following three years. Moreover, we find indication that firms that are copied start to collaborate more during the subsequent period (four to six years later). Our study adds to a better understanding of the tension between appropriating innovation rents and remaining open to R&amp;D collaboration. Further, we provide insights on how firms strategically leverage previous misappropriation experience to create value.

Title: The role of relationship promoter in new product development collaboration
Abstract: 
 Since new product development (NPD) collaborations with external partners have become the next generation in NPD practices, relationship promoters have become especially relevant as key contributors to the success of this type of inter-organisational collaboration. To realise successful outcomes in NPD collaborations, partners face the challenge of effectively integrating the role of relationship promoter into their existing and essential relationships of trust. It is within this context that this paper examines the role of the relationship promoter, by analysing its moderating effect on the relationship between trust and the outcomes of NPD collaboration &#x2013; including new product competitiveness and partner satisfaction. We test our hypotheses against survey data from 107 innovative firms involved in NPD collaboration with the help of relationship promoters. The results show that, while a non-significant influence can be reported about the presence of a relationship promoter in terms of partner satisfaction, the relationship promotor weakens the influence of trust on new product competitiveness, making trust less important when it comes to creating a competitive new product.

Title: Non-continuous growth of firms: some empirical evidence from Italian manufacturing industry
Abstract: 
 Firms change their size through a row of discrete leaps. A basic model allowing for discontinuous growth can be based on several assumptions that entail testable consequences: profitability is not a continuous function of the firms&#x2019; size, but exhibits peaks, each corresponding to a locally optimal size. The model has been tested by using a panel of Italian manufacturing firms. Both the non-parametric analysis and a panel estimation confirm the presence of &#x2018;peaks&#x2019; in the distribution of profitability by size.

Title: Approaching the technological innovation frontier: evidence from Chinese SOEs
Abstract: 
 This paper studies how large State-owned enterprises (SOEs) in China are approaching the technological innovation frontier and contributes to the literature on technological catching up and leapfrogging by identifying three models or strategies of approaching the innovation frontier. In addition to the well-recognised technology transfer based strategy, pursuing emerging technologies and reinventing mature technology could also be effective, with reinventing mature technology as the most important strategy. The paper also finds that strong internal R&amp;D capability, rather than manufacturing capability as suggested by the extant literature, is the basis of all three models. This also implies that making big organisational transformations such as changing a technology transfer centred R&amp;D function to a proprietary technology development centred R&amp;D function, changing a manufacturing centred culture to an innovation centred culture, and reshaping the innovation network, is an important precondition to approach the innovation frontier.

Title: Academic tenure, risk-taking and the diversification of scientific research
Abstract: 
 We discuss two competing hypotheses linking the relative job security granted by tenure in academic employment to scientists’ choices between diversifying vs. specialising their research portfolio. To test our hypotheses, we develop a new methodology, using an algorithm of semantic analysis that partitions scientists’ publications into research themes, and we compute the Blau’s diversification index for 562 scientists observed over 15 years. The results of a Fractional Probit Model with fixed effects show that tenure is associated to more diversification of research interests. We discuss the implications for policy-makers and granting agencies wishing to incentivise explorative research.

Title: How institutional nature and available resources determine the performance of technology transfer offices
Abstract: 
 This paper assesses the performance of GAPIs and OTICs, two different types of university technology transfer offices that have been active in Portuguese higher education institutions, since 2000 and 2006, respectively. Data originating from a survey of these offices were analysed through both cluster analysis and the estimation of a Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) model. Results show that the institutional nature of each of the surveyed organisations implies different behaviours and outputs. Furthermore, it is shown that the resources and activities of the surveyed offices determine their performance concurrently with regard to technology transfer, licencing contracts and technology-based spin-offs. The results of this study may be particularly relevant for countries that are in the process of developing their university technology transfer activities, as they can help to shape policies in relation to TTOs’ funding and resource allocation during the earlier stages of these activities.

Title: For whom size matters – the interplay between incubator size, tenant characteristics and tenant growth
Abstract: 
 The present study introduces a multilevel ‘fit’ perspective on business incubation to examine the link between incubator size and tenant growth. We suggest that the effect of incubator size on tenant growth is not universally positive or negative but is contingent upon (a) the size of the tenants’ venture team and (b) whether tenants are operating in a high-tech industry. Based on data from 276 tenants hosted in 67 business incubators in Germany, multilevel analyses provide support for our hypotheses. With its findings, the present study complements earlier incubator research and expands our knowledge on which types of business incubators are best suited to facilitate venture development.

Title: Implications of uncertain patent rights for German start-ups’ commercialisation activities and access to external capital
Abstract: 
 Start-ups may benefit in two ways from patenting their inventions: from the appropriation value and the certification effect of patents which reveals the ventures’ ‘quality’ to investors. As long as the patent office’s grant decision is pending both benefits may not realise. We confirm for a data-set of German start-ups that pending patent applications decrease the likelihood of market launch for new ventures. Regarding the certification effect, we find that pending patent applications attract risk-seeking investors, while more cautious investors do not react upon pending patent applications.

Title: Knowledge context, learning and innovation: an integrating framework
Abstract: 
 In this conceptual paper, we develop a framework which identifies those elements of firms’ knowledge context which are important for innovation, and the mechanisms through which that knowledge impacts on firms’ innovation performance. We make four main contributions to the existing literature. First, our characterisation of knowledge context provides the basis for a more specific identification of which elements of firms’ knowledge environment are important for innovation, discriminating between spatial, sectoral and network influences. Second, we reflect the role of innovation ambition in shaping firms’ knowledge search strategies. Third, we differentiate between firms’ interactive and non-interactive knowledge search activities and recognise that these may be complemented by unanticipated and serendipitous knowledge spillovers. Finally, we employ the notion of encoding capacity to reflect firms’ internal ability to assimilate and apply external knowledge, and clarify its distinctiveness from the more general concept of absorptive capacity. Our framework provides an integrating mechanism for existing empirical studies, and suggests a number of new research directions related to the determinants of innovation performance and the heterogeneity of innovation outcomes.

Title: Towards a multi-levelled social process perspective on firm innovation: integrating micro, meso and macro concepts of knowledge creation
Abstract: 
 The aim of this paper is to suggest a framework for studying firm innovation processes in a social process perspective that integrates the micro, meso and macro levels of analysis, that is, the knowledge creation of individuals/communities, the knowledge coordination of organisations, and the spatial–institutional contextualisation of knowledge. For this purpose, we suggest using as a starting point the so-called Combinatorial Knowledge Bases approach, which allows merging concepts about micro practices and macro contexts in an effective way. The suggested framework pays attention to different phases in the entire innovation process, characterised by different (micro) learning modes, situated in varying (macro) contexts and delineated by organisational (meso-level) choices, therefore enabling an integrated approach to the studying of firm innovation. To illustrate the potentials of applying the framework we present a process-oriented in-depth empirical case study of an innovation, following it from idea generation to market introduction by means of an innovation biography method.

Title: Beyond the joint-venture: knowledge sourcing in Chinese automotive events
Abstract: 
 This article analyses how firms use events and trade fairs for external knowledge sourcing, which barriers emerge and how event organisers strategically mediate and influence those processes. The research setting focuses on two major automotive events in Shanghai, highlighting that knowledge sourcing in these events do complement other types of knowledge accessed in permanent ‘sites’ and organisational configurations, such as in clusters and through joint-ventures. Firms use automotive events to access buzz, to monitor other firms and to explore options for new collaborations. Yet, it is also argued that a focus on existing relations, the defensive strategies deployed by lead firms and the intrinsic complexity of exhibited technologies hinder the process of knowledge sourcing that is influenced by event organisers’ content, matchmaking and access policies.

Title: International collaboration and innovation in professional and technological knowledge-intensive services
Abstract: 
 In this paper, we explore the impact of international collaboration on innovation in technological and professional knowledge-intensive business services. We propose that the benefits of international collaboration differ depending on the activity sector and the location of the foreign partner. Specifically, we argue that the nature of knowledge and innovation processes in professional and technological knowledge-intensive business services may explain different effects of international collaboration on innovation performance. Our empirical analysis is based on a large sample of knowledge-intensive business services for the period 2004–2007. We specify two bivariate probit models to test our hypotheses. The results confirm the hypotheses and show that proximity to international partners is more important for professional knowledge-intensive services, while diversity in international collaboration is more important for technological knowledge-intensive services.

Title: In the vanguard of openness: which dynamic capabilities are essential for innovative KIBS firms to develop?
Abstract: 
 In this paper, we examine whether the innovativeness of knowledge intensive business services (KIBS) firms is affected by their inherently high rate of interactions with clients and partners. Even if such firms do not deliberately follow an open innovation strategy, they are exposed to knowledge flows from other organisations. A particularly interesting issue is the connection between openness and the need to develop dynamic capabilities for distinct phases of knowledge processing. Building on resource-based views, we have developed hypotheses on the respective importance of KIBS firms’ dynamic capabilities and their inclination to engage in open innovation. Since clients and partners can contribute to activities especially at the beginning and end of the innovation value chain, KIBS should consider focusing on developing a ‘conceptualizing’ capability for translating raw ideas into marketable service propositions. The importance of this capability is confirmed by our regression analyses on survey data from 125 KIBS in the Netherlands. By contributing to the literature on KIBS and open innovation, we shed light on strategically balancing capability development and external capability sourcing.

Title: Managing sequential ambidexterity in the electronics industry: roles of temporal switching capability and contingent factors
Abstract: 
 Researchers on organisational ambidexterity have proposed several solutions to address the potential conflicts between exploration activities and exploitation activities. Unlike simultaneous ambidexterity, sequential ambidexterity – defined as temporal switching between exploration and exploitation – has not been examined fully, and the conditions under which this temporal switching can be successful are unclear. This paper proposes the concept of temporal switching capability to better understand the process by which sequential ambidexterity is executed. In addition, we hypothesise that performance effects are contingent upon firm-specific factors: a firm’s business strategy and absorptive capacity. Utilising three sources of data – a secondary database, annual reports and a survey administered to 145 firms in the electronics industry with 10-year observations – we find support for our hypotheses. The results show that the temporal switching capability positively relates to new product performance and that business strategy type and absorptive capacity have moderating effects. The results are meaningful in both theory and practice.

Title: The dynamics of profits and wages: technology, offshoring and demand
Abstract: 
 This article explores the impact of innovation, offshoring and demand on profits and wage dynamics. Empirical analysis is performed on a panel of 37 industries (1995–2010) across five European countries. Our identification strategy relies on instrumental variables and recently proposed heteroskedasticity-based instruments. Additionally, we perform sensitivity analysis to account for omitted variables bias. The main results of our study can be summed up in three points. First, it highlights the contrasting effects of R&amp;D and offshoring as wage determinants. Second, it shows that external demand is a key variable driving profits growth. Third, the categorisation of workers according to skill level shows that high-skilled workers are favoured by both innovation and offshoring, offshoring exerts downward pressure primarily on low-skilled wages and profits are positively correlated with high-skill wages, negatively correlated with medium-skill wages and not correlated with low-skill wages.

Title: Economic crisis and company R&amp;D in Spain: do regional and policy factors matter?
Abstract: 
 The economic crisis which began in 2008 has had a far-reaching impact, including effects on the innovation behaviour of firms. Many companies have reduced their innovation-related activities, although some firms have been more resilient than others. Using a representative microdata panel of Spanish firms, we study the probability of companies abandoning in-house R&amp;D during the crisis and its relationship to regional and policy factors. We find significant regional heterogeneity related to regional economic size and the type of the regional innovation system; regional government R&amp;D support only reduces R&amp;D abandonment rates in regions where a strong system of knowledge exploitation is in place.

Title: Network variations at the intersection of national capability orientation and technological path dependence – patent citation network analysis of the hydrogen energy and nano-tech sectors
Abstract: 
 How do national factors intersect in network formation in different emerging sectors? Scholars have focused on these regarding networking phenomena: the effects of national and sectoral factors. In spite of their theoretical contributions, attempts have been neglected in identifying and/or linking the factors from both national and sectoral innovation systems within the networks. This paper examines the cross-country differences within a sector, and the cross-sectoral differences within a country, as the consequences of sectoral–national intersections. Longitudinal patent citation networks in two emerging sectors, the hydrogen energy sector and nano-tech sector have been analysed for a time period from 2004 to 2012, in four diverse developed countries. The results convey that the two sectors demonstrate significantly varied networking activities, notably influenced by national capability orientations. On the other hand, cross-country differences in networking activities are also varied by technological path dependence.

Title: The effect of industry leaders’ exploratory innovation on competitor performance
Abstract: 
 This paper examines the effect of an industry leader’s exploratory innovation, defined as the innovation embodying novel knowledge relative to the firm’s extant knowledge, on the performance of its direct competitors. We argue that an industry leader’s exploratory innovation can benefit its competitors, resulting in an average increase in competitors’ sales. The benefit can come from advantageous inter-industry structure, higher perceived status through association, and expanded knowledge pool. The extent of benefit, however, is conditional on the number of competitors in the industry as well as the level of competitors' financial slack and Return on Assets (ROA). Using data on the U.S. computer sector, we find support for our hypotheses. This study suggests that while an industry leader’s exploratory innovation is intended to further its own interests, it also affects the plight of its direct competitors.

Title: What drives the geography of jobs in the US? Unpacking relatedness
Abstract: 
 There is ample evidence of regions diversifying in new occupations that are related to pre-existing activities in the region. However, it is still poorly understood through which mechanisms related diversification operates. To unpack relatedness, we distinguish between three mechanisms: complementarity (interdependent tasks), similarity (sharing similar skills) and local synergy (based on pure co-location). We propose a measure for each of these relatedness dimensions and assess their impact on the evolution of the occupational structure of 389 US Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) for the period 2005–2016. Our findings show that new jobs appearing in MSA’s are related to existing ones, while those more likely to disappear are more unrelated to a city’s jobs’ portfolio. We found that all three relatedness dimensions matter, but local synergy shows the largest impact on entry and exit of jobs in US cities, thus being the strongest force of diversification.

Title: High-tech entrepreneurial firms’ innovation in different institutional settings. Do venture capital and private equity have complementary or substitute effects?
Abstract: 
 The paper explores whether venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE) investments have complementary or substitute effects on innovation in high-tech entrepreneurial firms in different institutional settings, focusing on different levels of capital market development, entrepreneurial culture, and intellectual property rights protection. Using a panel sample of 326 firms from 12 EU countries observed from 2009–2013, the empirical results show that the VC/PE effect on high-tech entrepreneurial firms’ innovation is stronger in countries with a less-developed capital market. This suggests that VC/PE investments play a substitute role. A partial substitute role of VC/PE is also detected in firms located in countries with a low entrepreneurial culture. However, no significant evidence emerged regarding the level of protection of intellectual property rights. The results are generally robust to various econometric specifications. The implications of the resulting framework, the study’s limitations, and opportunities for further research are also discussed.

Title: Patent collaboration networks in Sweden and Spain during the Second Industrial Revolution
Abstract: 
 This article aims to analyse and compare the patent collaboration networks of Spain and Sweden during the Second Industrial Revolution, a key period for technological and industrial development in several economies and the distinct development paths taken by these two countries. The data used are from two new historical patent datasets for Spain and Sweden for the period 1878–1914. To study the structure of collaboration networks in both countries, we applied social network analysis methods and focused on two specific key network properties: connectivity and openness to external nodes. The results demonstrate that collaboration networks were better connected and more open to foreign influence in Sweden than in Spain. This research opens new paths for further multidisciplinary studies both on the evolution of industrial economies and on innovation networks dynamics.

Title: Influence of market orientation on performance: the moderating roles of customer participation breadth and depth in new product development
Abstract: 
 With a greater number of B2B firms integrating customers into the new product development (NPD) process, how to utilize customer involvement in NPD is an important decision because it may be a double-edged sword carrying both bright and dark sides. Utilizing a sample of 193 B2B firms across various industries, we validate previous research that suggests market orientation positively influences NPD performance and subsequently examine how this relationship may either be enhanced or diminished contingent upon how customers are utilized in the NPD process. The results show that the market orientation–NPD performance relationship is enhanced by having customers participate in a greater number of activities throughout NPD (customer participation breadth) and diminished when customers are involved at deeper levels (customer participation depth). This research suggests that the exact involvement of customers is a critical decision and has clear implications for the dialogues about customer involvement and management of customer relationships.

Title: Firm growth and R&D investment: SVAR evidence from the world’s top R&D investors
Abstract: 
 Understanding causal relationships among key economic variables is crucial for policy makers, who wish to e.g. stimulate private R&D growth. To this end, we applied a technique recently imported from the Machine Learning community (Structural Vector Autoregressions (SVARs) identified using Independent Components Analysis (ICA)) to a data-set of the world’s largest R&D investors. Our analysis highlights the key role of firm growth in the areas of employment and sales, rather than growth of profits or market capitalization, in stimulating R&D growth. R&D growth appears toward the end of the causal ordering of the growth process. Our results suggest that policies to increase private R&D would do better to target growth of sales and employment rather than market capitalization or profits.

Title: The innovation and performance effects of well-designed environmental regulation: evidence from Sweden
Abstract: 
 This paper provides novel empirical insights into the Porter hypothesis (PH) and its dynamic nature. The PH posits that well-designed environmental regulations induce eco-innovations at polluting firms that improve both their environmental and business performance via ‘innovation offsets.’ We conduct an econometric test of this proposition, using Swedish pulp and paper plants as empirical application. Swedish environmental regulation of polluting industries provides an interesting case because it has been praised, due to containing elements of ‘well-designed’ regulations, for being conducive to accomplishing the ‘win-win’ situation of mutual environmental and economic benefits. The empirical results indicate that flexible and dynamic command-and-control regulation and economic incentive instruments have induced innovation offsets through improved energy efficiency. Our study bears important implications: empirical tests of the PH that do not account for its dynamic nature, and that do not measure ‘well-designed’ regulations, might provide misleading conclusions as to its validity.

Title: Dancing in shackles: interactive learning of industrial design firms in Beijing
Abstract: 
 The paper addresses the structure-agency dilemma of interactive learning in innovation systems, namely the structuration process of how macro-conditions shape micro-actions of firms and the agency process of how firms react to macro-structures. We argue organizational boundaries of firms are an important dimension to tackle the structure-agency dilemma of interactive learning. Specifically, we propose the structuration process can occur through a boundary-stabilizing mechanism while the agency process can happen with a boundary-changing mechanism. We investigate the newly established industrial design firms in China and find that industrial policies, a weak design education system, a fixed-price practice for industrial designs set up clear boundaries between industrial designers and manufacturers, which restrict their interactive learning. To the agency process, we observe a few industrial design firms upgrade by extending their organizational boundaries upstream or downstream in their value chains. Further, we suggest the structuration and agency processes can be context-specific.

Title: Chasing entrepreneurial firms
Abstract: 
 The search for a reliable data-set of entrepreneurial firms is ongoing. We analyze and assess longitudinal data on startups from two data sources – the National Establishment Time-Series (NETS) database and the Secretary of State (SOS) business registry data. Our primary purposes in this paper are to assess the usefulness and reliability of these databases in measuring startup activity along several quality indicators and to explore the possibility of integrating these large databases using both automated and manual processes. The NETS identifies a firm’s employment, sales, and industry but is expensive and suffers from a temporal lag. The SOS data provide up-to-date startup counts but offer limited variables. We conclude that policymakers and researchers will benefit from combing both the SOS and adjusted NETS since they provide complementary information on startups. We carefully document our methodology and make suggestions for use of the data for future research.

Title: Innovation and growth in KIBS: the role of clients’ collaboration and service customisation
Abstract: 
 In this paper, we analyse KIBS firms and posit that two core attributes of KIBS, namely collaborative relationships with clients and product customisation, foster the ability to develop successful, new product innovations. We disentangle the role of customisation and collaboration choices by looking at how they jointly affect the impact of innovation over firms’ performance, asking to what extent and how firms should collaborate with clients and customise their services. We test our hypotheses on a sample of Italian KIBS firms. Our results show that product innovations that are new to the industry are relevant and, counter intuitively, show that most growing KIBS firms do not have the highest service customisation and collaboration breadth with their clients. Most growing firms develop mass customisation strategies and they leverage on focused collaboration strategies with clients.

Title: Firm size and compositions of R&amp;D expenditures: evidence from a panel of R&amp;D performing manufacturing firms
Abstract: 
 The effect of firm size on diverse compositions of R&amp;D expenditures is analysed in detail using firm-level data on the Korean manufacturing sector. On the grounds that each type of R&amp;D activity differs in terms of salability in disembodied form and growth potential due to innovation, a distinction between product vs. process, and new vs. incremental R&amp;D is made. Empirical tests show that the firm size is significantly associated with both the new and incremental R&amp;D. Moreover, firm size is found to be significantly associated with other types of R&amp;D compositions such as the share of R&amp;D devoted to incremental innovation and multidimensional combinations of product, process, new and incremental R&amp;D. These findings support the idea that large firms possess innovative advantages over smaller firms and firm size is an important determinant for firms’ heterogeneous R&amp;D activities. We also discuss the limitations and the implications of the findings.

Title: The role of domestic markets in international technological innovation systems
Abstract: 
 This paper explores how countries in non-leadership positions can couple onto globally developing technological innovation systems (TISs) for renewable energy. The paper contributes to recent debates on relations between TISs and context, with a focus on how industries located in one country relate to the international TIS. Based on a survey of 102 firms in the offshore wind industry in Norway and semi-structured interviews, we find that even though Norwegian firms link up with international TISs, the lack of a domestic market represents a barrier. However, firms with activities in related industries and large firms are less exposed to this barrier. This poses a challenge as the offshore wind industry in Norway mainly consists of smaller firms. We therefore suggest that policies should aim to stimulate interaction between smaller suppliers and larger firms that potentially can act as intermediaries and provide access to international markets.

Title: Driving business performance: innovation complementarities and persistence patterns
Abstract: 
 Complementarities between technological and non-technological innovation are crucial determinants of firm performance. Although innovation complementarity has been extensively tested in the empirical literature, it has not been analysed in conjunction with innovation persistence. This fact is mainly due to the lack of data sets able to provide adequate longitudinal information. The capacities to develop market-oriented behaviour and introduce new organisational innovations, together with technological innovation, are the drivers of a firm’s productivity and profitability. We find that these activities complement technological innovation and that their impact is greater when they persist over time, thus introducing a more general concept of innovation persistence. We present an empirical model based on a large new panel of Italian manufacturing firms covering the period 2000–2012 which enables us to determine the precise impacts of a firm’s innovative attitude, in a broad definition that incorporates non-technological innovation and persistence, on its productivity and profitability.

Title: From a local community to a global influence. How elBulli restaurant created a new epistemic movement in the world of haute cuisine
Abstract: 
 Location plays a major role in the building of artistic, technological or scientific movements that emerge in specific locations before achieving a worldwide reach. However, a deeper understanding is needed about the interplay of local/global knowledge dynamics in the epistemic construction of a movement. Based on an in-depth longitudinal study of a critical case, this article sheds light on these issues by analysing the case of ‘techno-emotional cuisine’, a global gastronomic movement initiated and led by chef Ferran Adrià and his team at the restaurant elBulli in Catalonia (in Northern Spain). The results suggest that the dynamics of formation of a new epistemic movement depend on the form and nature of the interactions between the local buzz and global pipelines, and on the capacity of the originating community to develop and diffuse the new rules and ‘episteme’ on a global scale while consolidating them locally.

Title: Innovation in the European creative industries: a firm-level empirical approach
Abstract: 
 This paper explores the innovative performance of firms active in the creative industries (CIs). It identifies potential differentials in various innovation indicators between CI and non-CI young firms and examines drivers of the innovative performance of firms in the creative sectors. Our findings suggest that firms in the CIs outperform those in non-CIs both in terms of product innovation and R&amp;D intensity, but not in terms of process and organisational innovation. Empirical analysis also suggests that the human capital of the founders as well as specific firm characteristics play a significant role in the innovative activity of firms in the CIs.

Title: Appropriability of design innovation across organisational boundaries: exploring collaborative relationships between manufacturing firms and designers in Italy
Abstract: 
 Capturing value from design-based innovation presents firms with some challenges which only recently academic research has started addressing. Increasingly, firms operating within design-intensive industries collaborate with external designers rather than undertaking this activity in-house. This raises some appropriability issues, as firms would need to reap the benefits of innovation originating across organisational boundaries. To address this gap, we carried out a multiple case study with firms and design consultants based in Italy across several manufacturing sectors. Our evidence suggests the presence of appropriability mechanisms that are specific to design innovation. Intellectual property rights, although not very effective, are employed to establish ownership in the market. Firms also use lead-time advantages, investment in specific assets and the quality of craftsmanship depending on the industry. Across most sectors, establishing long-term relationships inspired by knowledge sharing and trust constitutes a key mechanism firms adopt to appropriate the benefits attached to collaboration with external designers.

Title: What determines firms’ R&amp;D intensity in business groups with cross-ownership structures?
Abstract: 
 This paper examines the impact of group-controlling shareholders’ interests on the R&amp;D decision of group-affiliated firms in business groups with cross-ownership structures, especially with regard to the impact of control-ownership disparities or cash-flow rights. We show that R&amp;D intensity across group-affiliated firms, in business groups with cross-ownership structures, is higher when control-ownership disparities are low or when group-controlling shareholders have higher cash-flow rights. Particularly in publicly listed firms, we find that the cash-flow rights of group-controlling shareholders are one of the most important determinants of the R&amp;D intensity for group-affiliated firms.

Title: Contracting for technology transfer: patent licensing and know-how in Brazil
Abstract: 
 Using contract-level data, we study the relation between the inclusion of know-how in cross-border patent licensing agreements and the contractual terms used by firms to deal with moral hazard risks. We use official data on international technology contracts with patent licensing terms registered by affiliated and unaffiliated parties before the Department of Technology Transfer of the National Institute of Intellectual Property (INPI) in Brazil between 1996 and 2012. We find that contracts between unaffiliated parties involving know-how transfer show distinctive contractual and technology features compared to the rest: (i) they involve younger but lower quality technologies (compared to contracts without know-how); (ii) they are more prone to up front lump-sum payments than royalty or combined payments (royalty and fixed); and (iii) they are more likely to be accompanied by the licensing of other IPRs, in addition to patents, such as trademarks.

Title: How proximity matters in interactive learning and innovation: a study of the Venetian glass industry
Abstract: 
 Drawing on the literature on proximity within industrial agglomerations, the authors develop a model to explain how social, cognitive and personal proximity influences interactive learning and innovation in industrial districts. A qualitative study of the Murano glassmaking district shows that interactive learning in an industrial district occurs on both horizontal and vertical dimensions, along which proximity plays different roles. Horizontal learning takes place through social and cognitive proximity and personal distance. Vertical learning occurs through personal proximity and social and cognitive distance. This study contributes to the literature on the proximity within industrial districts by highlighting the role of personal proximity, which is largely unexplored. This paper also considers the coevolution between the proximity dimensions and provides empirical evidence of two mechanisms of coevolution: a compensation mechanism between social and cognitive proximity and a substitution mechanism between personal proximity, and cognitive and social proximities.

Title: Personal and business networks within Chilean biotech
Abstract: 
 Agglomerations and proximities between firms are positively related to the creation of knowledge networks and the innovation performance of firms. Despite the long history of the study of proximities, only recently have interactions between multiple proximities and multiple networks been studied with respect to the economic performance of clustered firms. The role of personal relations in the creation of business relations between firms needs to be studied further. This study proposes a framework for the creation of business relations that combines the proximity framework, the strategic alliances literature, and multiplexity of social networks. The study uses a novel dataset on the ego-networks of personal relationships between owners or managers and the ego-networks of business relations of biotech firms in Chile. It is shown that the existence of previous personal relations between individuals from two organisations positively affects the probability of creating a business relationship between them.

Title: The different roles of proximity in multiple informal network relationships: evidence from the cluster of high technology applied to cultural goods in Tuscany
Abstract: 
 The role of proximity in innovation and inter-organisational networks has received increasing attention over the past decade. Despite the rich literature, most contributions principally focus on only one type of relationship and mainly consider formal relationships such as R&amp;D partnerships, EU projects or patents. The aim of the study is to investigate the role of various forms of proximity in multiple informal inter-organisational relationships. The article focuses on two research questions: (i) How do the various forms of proximity influence the formation of different informal relationships? and (ii) What is the impact of social ties on relationships for innovation? ERGM is applied to measure the different impact of the proximities on three network relationships operating in the cluster of High Technology applied to Cultural Goods. The results underline the heterogeneous impact of various forms of proximity on the different relationships and the strong impact of social ties on innovation.

Title: Personal and social proximity empowering collaborations: the glue of knowledge networks
Abstract: 
 The proximity framework serves to analyse and understand how collaborations form and develop over time, and how these affect innovation and learning. The framework has inspired and informed empirical studies in several contexts, contributing to our understanding of the dynamics of dyadic collaborations, industrial clusters and districts, and regional innovation systems, to name but a few. Recent conceptual and empirical advances have called attention to the role of personal proximity and social proximity in such collaborations. In addition to other forms of proximity, these two dimensions could make up the glue that holds knowledge networks together. In the introduction to this special issue, we elaborate upon this proposition, setting out a point-of-departure for the three empirical studies collected in this issue. We summarize the findings of these papers, and develop a research agenda from those findings that may guide proximity researchers to novel research problems and useful research designs.

Title: Platforms and industrial change
Abstract: 
 Digital platforms are reorganising markets, restructuring the labour force, and redefining the scope of competition. These new intermediaries are transforming economic value creation, industrial structures, and innovative activity, all of which are about to undergo their biggest changes in the post-war era. Platforms have power over their ecosystem members, as algorithms mould users’ incentives to elicit particular responses. This raises the question of whether non-platform firms will be overpowered by the likes of Amazon and Google that have considerable advantages, such as massive data centres and the ability to cross-feed online traffic. The answer is conditional, but its existence puts pressure on the state to adopt an aggressive regulatory role. At this time, we do not have a framework for properly regulating platform businesses. This special issue examines how ecosystems created by platforms reorganise markets and how value creation and capture by incumbents and entrants is affected.

Title: What company characteristics are associated with the adoption of social media?
Abstract: 
 In just one decade, social media have moved from being marginal phenomena to having three billion active monthly users globally in 2017. We use a large representative sample to study which company characteristics are associated with the early adoption of social media. Our findings suggest that digital orientation (outside social media), innovativeness, external collaboration in marketing and sales, and orientation towards consumer markets all increase a company’s probability of adopting social media. In addition, larger and younger companies are more likely to be early movers. Overall, business use of social media has only reached its early maturity; thus, it still has plenty of room to grow.

Title: Collective institutional work: the case of Airbnb in Amsterdam, London and New York
Abstract: 
 Given that online platforms disrupt established industries and challenge existing institutions, they can only be successful if their innovation becomes both legal and legitimate. This requires ‘institutional work’ that changes perceptions and regulations within society. Rather than only focussing on the online platform as the sole agent engaging in institutional work, our study analyses institutional work as a collective process. We investigate the case of home-sharing platform Airbnb and the process of institutional change its introduction prompted regarding short-term rental in Amsterdam, London and New York. We find, contrary to the popular view of online platforms as disruptive entrepreneurs, that the platform mainly focusses on creating new institutions rather than disrupting existing ones, and that users and non-users undertake most of the institutional work activities. We also show that different types of actors carry out different types of institutional work suggesting that the process of institutional work is highly distributed.

Title: Regulation strictness and supply in the platform economy: the case of Airbnb and Couchsurfing
Abstract: 
 To what extent is regulation associated with supply in the platform economy (PE)? We address this research question by analyzing the relationship between the strictness of rules/laws in 59 U.S. cities and the number of short-stay accommodation offerings. We find that the stricter regulation is, the higher the supply in these platforms. We also investigate how the presence (or lack thereof) of money transactions in the platform affects this relationship. We discover that the presence of money transactions in these platforms negatively moderates the positive relationship between regulation strictness and the supply of short-stay accommodations. This paper contributes to the literature by investigating how aggregate supply in the PE is affected by legal uncertainties, thereby joining the debate on how digital platforms are reforming labor practices in major parts of the economy and industrial value chains.

Title: Dancing with wolves: how value creation and value capture dynamics affect complementor participation in industry platforms
Abstract: 
 Industry platforms shape the interactions among participating firms, especially between the platform owner and its complementors. However, little research has examined how such dynamics would influence the initial participation by complementors. Based on the coopetition perspective, we develop hypotheses about the relationship between platform owner’s value appropriation potential and complementor participation, at platform initiation. Using a comprehensive dataset of open source software (OSS) platform initiations, this study empirically examines how the resource profiles of platform owner firms may affect complementor participation in the platform. We find that when the platform owner has higher percentage of sales from complementary market segments, the number of complementors for the platform is lower. Furthermore, the platform owner’s sales growth positively moderates this relationship. The findings shed new lights on how the value creation and value appropriation dynamics between the platform owner and its complementors may shape the outcome of industry platform launching.

Title: Institutional entrepreneurship and social innovation at the base of the pyramid: the case of M-Pesa in Kenya
Abstract: 
 This paper explores the agency of multinational corporations that perform social innovation under conditions of institutional complexity and resource constraints. Insights are drawn from a case study of Vodafone Group Plc and Safaricom Kenya Ltd that engaged in mobile money innovation in Kenya. The paper identifies three types of institutional voids that entrepreneurs can exploit to implement a social innovation: market, policy and social voids. Legitimating the social innovation involves appealing to the instrumental needs of target users, early and sustained engagement with policy-makers and redefining meanings of both incumbent and new technologies. The paper argues that spanning institutional voids – which provide entrepreneurial opportunities – also provide contingent legitimation narratives that can be targeted at different audiences. By mobilising insights from institutional theory, this paper provides a fresh perspective of social innovation in a base of the pyramid context.

Title: Uncovering moderators of organisational ambidexterity: evidence from the pharmaceutical industry
Abstract: 
 Our manuscript advances the growing literature on organisational ambidexterity by arguing that organisational ambidexterity more positively influences organisational performance when there are more learning obstacles to pursue both exploitation and exploration. Extending this argument, we identify five conditions under which organisational ambidexterity more positively influences long-term organisational performance. The conditions include the degree of environmental dynamism, competition, organisational size, organisational slack and organisational senescence. An empirical analysis of 50 pharmaceutical firms’ new product development characteristics and financial performance over a 20-year period supports our argument. Our findings inform future research on organisational ambidexterity by more specifically explaining the way in which organisational ambidexterity enables organisational survival and prosperity.

Title: Linking the bottom-up and top-down evolution of regional innovation systems to policy: organizations, support structures and learning processes
Abstract: 
 The literature is ambiguous about whether regional innovation systems (RIS) evolve bottom-up or top-down. This is reflected in RIS policies, which tend to focus on either development of the actor level, i.e. organizations in a RIS, or the system level, i.e. the support structure for innovation. Here, we analyzed a Norwegian RIS policy programme, the Programme for Regional R&D and Innovation (VRI), which aimed to combine both approaches. We found that VRI mainly developed the support structure for innovation and that learning outcomes from VRI involvement in organizations differed between the involved actor groups. This is particularly so for RIS development in regions inexperienced with support structure development prior to VRI involvement. Conversely, in regions with well-functioning support structures prior to VRI, the focus was most beneficially on stimulating learning at the actor level. We argue that future research should investigate mechanisms and interlinkages between the two levels and especially their regional particularities.

Abstract: 
 This paper systematically explores the effects of firms’ innovation activities on their productivity changes for Turkish manufacturing firms, differentiating between different typologies of innovation. We employ endogenous switching methodology, controlling for endogeneity and selection bias issues, as well as analysing counterfactual scenarios. The main finding of the study points to firm heterogeneity in terms of propensity both to innovate and to benefit from innovation activities. Our results indicate that all types of innovation activity have positive effects on the productivity of firms when compared with non-innovating firms. We find robust evidence for the differential impact of innovation on firm productivity across different innovation types. Further, this relationship alters across different phases of the economy with respect to the 2008 financial crisis.

Title: Dynamic increasing returns and innovation diffusion: bringing Polya Urn processes to the empirical data
Abstract: 
 The patterns of innovation diffusion are well approximated by the logistic curves. This is the robust empirical fact confirmed by many studies in innovations dynamics. Here, we show that the logistic pattern of innovation diffusion can be replicated by the time-dependent stochastic process with positive feedbacks along the diffusion trajectory. The dynamic increasing returns process is modelled by Polya Urns. So far, Urn models have been mostly used to study the [path-dependent] limit properties. On the contrary, this work focuses on the transient [finite time] properties studying the conditions under which urn models capture the logistic trajectories which often track empirical diffusion process. As examples, we calibrate the process to match several cases of diffusion of motor ships in European countries.

Title: Entrepreneurial orientation and performance: mediating effects of technology and marketing action across industry types
Abstract: 
 We contribute to the debate on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and firm performance. We theorise, firstly, that the relationship between EO and performance is mediated by the firm’s technology and marketing action and secondly, that these mediating effects will differ by industry. We test the model on 489 Korean SMEs. Results indicate both technology and marketing action mediate the effect of EO on performance. As expected, technology action has a stronger mediating effect than marketing action in manufacturing industries, while marketing action has a stronger mediating effect in service industries. We discuss implications for managers and policy-makers.

Title: R&amp;D, worker training and innovation: firm-level evidence
Abstract: 
 Firms that invest in R&amp;D and also in worker training are expected to be successful innovators; yet, the extent to which these investments are mutually reinforcing has not been established. This paper addresses that question by analysing the decision to innovate and the number of innovations introduced. Our findings, which are based on a sample of Spanish manufacturing firms, confirm that R&amp;D is more effective when firms also invest in worker training. Moreover, for some smaller firms, investing in workers’ skills (via training programs) boosts innovation even in absence of R&amp;D. Meanwhile, on-the-job training in large firms might serve mainly to reinforce the effects of R&amp;D. Regarding the number of innovations, our result signals that a higher absorptive capacity via higher ability of qualified workers (through schooling or training) leads to improved innovation performance.

Title: Application and success of R&amp;D subsidies: what is the role of firm age?
Abstract: 
 This article evaluates the propensity of firms to apply for R&amp;D public grants, their capacity for obtaining subsides and how these relate to the firm age. This analysis is particularly relevant in understanding why young firms may be more or less successful in their application for public subsidies. Using data from an extensive database of 19,236 firms in Catalonia, we estimate a maximum likelihood probit model with sample selection. Our results show that firm age does not exert a significant direct impact on the application propensity in R&amp;D public call, but younger firms tend to show a larger propensity to receive an R&amp;D subsidy. They also show that firm age exerts a moderating role through different internal resources. They highlight the need to design R&amp;D public policies that explicitly favour applications by young firms to help overcome their obstacles to innovation.

Title: Innovation and market regulation: evidence from the European electricity industry
Abstract: 
 This paper studies the effects of changes in the level of product market regulation on the industry-level innovation intensity in the EU electricity sector during years 1990–2009. In order to test the impact of deregulatory policies on the propensity to innovate in energy technologies, we match data on R&amp;D budgets and European Patent Office patent applications from International Energy Agency and Eurostat Databases with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development indexes of product market regulation. The analysis addresses innovations in the traditional electricity-related technologies, but keeping aside renewable energy technologies. Findings show an increase in patenting activities following market deregulation, measured along three factors: entry barriers, public ownership and vertical integration. In particular, econometric results suggest that policies aimed at reducing vertical integration – i.e. to unbundle networks from energy generation and supply – have a positive impact on innovation activity. Results are robust to the introduction of controls for country-level public R&amp;D expenditures in the electricity field.

Title: The influence of proximity dimensions on international research collaboration: an analysis of European water projects
Abstract: 
 In this paper we investigate the effect of geographical, organisational and social proximity on the propensity of organisations to collaborate internationally in knowledge production. We apply logistic regression models on data from water research projects in the European Union’s Framework Programme 1–7. Although the main challenges in the water sector typically cut across borders, knowledge development is traditionally organised in national systems. These systems have a long tradition in collaborating across societal sectors. Despite the fact that about half of the collaborations in the Framework Programmes are not proximate at all, we show that all three proximity dimensions contribute to the propensity to collaborate. The three dimensions of proximity are weakly correlated, and there is a small substitution effect between organisational and geographical proximity.

Title: Winning combinations: search strategies and innovativeness in the UK
Abstract: 
 Searching for the most rewarding sources of innovative ideas remains a key challenge in management of technological innovation. Yet, little is known about which combinations of internal and external knowledge sources are triggers for innovation. Extending theories about searching for innovation, we examine the effectiveness of different combinations of knowledge sources for achieving innovative performance. We suggest that combinations involving integrative search strategies – combining internal and external knowledge – are the most likely to generate product and process innovation. In this context, we present the idea that cognitively distant knowledge sources are helpful for innovation only when used in conjunction with knowledge sources that are closer to the focal firm. We also find important differences between product and process innovation, with the former associated with broader searches than the latter. Using a large-scale pooled sample of UK firms, we find overall support for our conjectures, particularly in terms of product innovation.

Title: Introducing the T-shaped model of cluster competence – an integrative framework and first empirical evidence from the German craftsmen sector
Abstract: 
 Although cluster research has been an enormously vivid field in the past years, the idea that firms’ individual competences influence the knowledge gain from collocation is still under-researched. In this paper, we aim to fill this gap in two steps. First, we derive four firm-specific cluster competences from existing literature as key components of a T-shaped model which is based on the resource and the relational view on knowledge spillovers. Second, we evaluate the explanatory power of our model in terms of firm success by conducting empirical testing on the basis of several logistic regressions in the form of proportional odds models. For this purpose, we use a hitherto unexploited firm-level data set, gained from a survey conducted among small and medium-sized craft businesses in Germany. The results provide evidence that idiosyncratic cluster competences on the firm level are supportive of firm success in business clusters.

Title: Age and productivity as determinants of firm survival over the industry life cycle
Abstract: 
 This paper contributes to fill the gap between the literature on the determinants of firm survival and the empirical works on the industry life cycle (ILC). Using a representative sample of Spanish firms with 10 or more employees over the period 1993–2009, the role played by firm age and productivity in firm survival is empirically analysed across three stages of the life cycle of forty-seven 3-digit manufacturing sectors. In the ‘early’ stage of the ILC, firm age is negatively correlated with hazard rates while firm productivity is not. Firm productivity is associated with lower hazard in the ‘mature’ stage of the ILC, when competition is primarily efficiency-driven, while firm age does not play a significant role for firm survival. In the ‘intermediate’ stage, both age and productivity play a role in reducing firms’ hazard rates.

Title: Labour force building in a rapidly expanding sector
Abstract: 
 Between 1991 and 2010, jobs in the knowledge-intensive IT services sector in Sweden increased from 30,000 to 104,000. Departing from recent theoretical insights suggesting that the skill composition of worker inflows is an indicator of knowledge relevant to employers, we investigate labour inflows into the sector. Who were the people getting jobs in this expanding sector? And, how were their skills valued by employers as the sector evolved? Our findings suggest that sectoral evolution was not reflected in how the skills of incoming workers were valued, but rather in who was hired into the sector. The paper suggests that the analysis of worker inflows is a tool for investigating the evolution of both sectors and their knowledge bases. It provides some lessons for industrial and educational policies regarding technologically turbulent industries, and takes the first step towards developing an approach that integrates industry dynamics with labour force sourcing and evolution.

Title: The open innovation research landscape: established perspectives and emerging themes across different levels of analysis
Abstract: 
 This paper provides an overview of the main perspectives and themes emerging in research on open innovation (OI). The paper is the result of a collaborative process among several OI scholars – having a common basis in the recurrent Professional Development Workshop on ‘Researching Open Innovation’ at the Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management. In this paper, we present opportunities for future research on OI, organised at different levels of analysis. We discuss some of the contingencies at these different levels, and argue that future research needs to study OI – originally an organisational-level phenomenon – across multiple levels of analysis. While our integrative framework allows comparing, contrasting and integrating various perspectives at different levels of analysis, further theorising will be needed to advance OI research. On this basis, we propose some new research categories as well as questions for future research – particularly those that span across research domains that have so far developed in isolation.

Title: Innovation and international business
Abstract: 
 While classical economic theories of growth emphasised international capital accumulation, and finance-based theories of foreign investment stressed international interest rate differentials and risk reduction, the technological accumulation approach examines international knowledge building by multinational enterprises and their international business (IB) networks. The two processes of innovation and internationalisation have become ever more interconnected as central drivers of development since the first industrial revolution, through to today’s information age. The increasing significance of the knowledge-seeking motive for IB networks and of competence-creating subsidiary activities at a local level have linked localised innovation systems to IB and to international knowledge exchange. From a locational perspective, international knowledge connectivity has become critical for sustained innovation and growth. The shift of techno-socio-economic paradigm in the information age is associated with a shift in the character of IB and innovation, with critical implications for IB theory and concepts.

Title: The Schumpeterian entrepreneur: a review of the empirical evidence on the antecedents, behaviour and consequences of innovative entrepreneurship
Abstract: 
 Innovative entrepreneurship is considered an important pillar for economic development and has sparked a lively discussion in academia and practice alike. Oftentimes, however, the debate is not sufficiently grounded on solid empirical evidence. The academic literature is growing but very scattered and is separated into several disciplines. We provide a summary that takes stock of the academic knowledge about innovative entrepreneurship and summarizes the evidence from 102 empirical studies published in the primary economics and management journals on the antecedents, behavior, and consequences of innovative entrepreneurship. Based on this state-of-the-art literature review, directions for future research are discussed.

Title: Firm-location dynamics and subnational institutions: creating a framework for collocation advantages
Abstract: 
 The dynamic interaction between locational attributes and foreign direct investment (FDI) is an important condition for successful economic activity. Yet while significant research has identified the integral role of socio-spatial aspects to the duration, composition, performance and coevolution of multinational enterprise (MNE) activity, there is limited understanding of how subnational regions coordinate with investment over time. This paper seeks to explore how subnational regions, and their composite institutions, function in coordinating – or not – to attract multinational investment and facilitate collocation advantages. Using case study analysis of two subnational regions within a single advanced economy, we illustrate the potential variation and implications of subnational institutional structure, posturing and engagement with FDI. Our findings are discussed in terms of the role of subnational variation for MNEs and insights to industrial policy for developed countries.

Title: Location, shared suppliers and the innovation performance of R&amp;D outsourcing agreements
Abstract: 
 The location of an international supplier constitutes a crucial variable when outsourcing research and development (R&amp;D) services, especially if the supplier also serves competitors. Even though shared suppliers have refined capabilities, they may act as hubs for knowledge transfers, exposing their clients to the risk of knowledge leakages to their competitors. Building on Transaction Cost Theory, we argue that a client’s ability to benefit from having a shared supplier will be dependent on the appropriability regime of the outsourcing location, whose effectiveness depends on the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection within the country, and the tacit and specific nature of the service outsourced. Using primary data at the transaction level from a survey to 170 technology-intensive firms from the EU and the U.S., we find that sharing R&amp;D suppliers with competitors appear to mimic some of the advantages and disadvantages of being collocated with them, especially in countries offering weak IPR protection.

Title: A comparative analysis of firm co-location behaviour in the Detroit metropolitan area
Abstract: 
 Multinational enterprises (MNEs) now exhibit knowledge-seeking behaviours which are critical to maintain or gain a competitive advantage. Emerging work about the interaction between MNEs, space and place also highlights the need for finer scale research to understand the strategy and knowledge exchange of MNEs, which remains limited to this point. To address this need for fine-grained analyses of firm co-location behaviour, this paper uses point-level data to test hypotheses about the co-location behaviour of three types of manufacturing firms in the Detroit metropolitan area. Variations in this behaviour highlight that foreign rather than domestic firms may be the primary source of knowledge spillovers, which speaks to the internationalisation of manufacturing activity in the region over time. New domestic standalone ventures appear to have been crowded out from cluster activities, suggesting a policy opportunity to integrate new standalone ventures into collaborative ventures with other firms in the region.

Title: Proximity and multinational enterprise co-location in clusters: a multiple case study of Dutch science parks
Abstract: 
 This paper explores the role of proximity in strategic asset-seeking multinational enterprises’ (MNE) co-location in subnational knowledge/innovation intensive clusters. MNE co-location in three Dutch science parks is examined in terms of the perceived importance of geographic, cognitive, social, organisational and institutional proximity dimensions. While all five proximity dimensions are found to play a role, organisational proximity emerged as the most important factor influencing MNE co-location in the Dutch science parks. This paper argues, in contrast to expectations for a high degree of relatedness and reinforcing effects between the five proximities, that an ‘optimal’ proximity constellation of low organisational proximity together with high social and cognitive proximity fosters MNE co-location in knowledge intensive clusters, such as science parks.

Title: Location, collocation and innovation by multinational enterprises: a research agenda
Abstract: 
 The distribution of creative economic activity over space has been viewed from three distinct perspectives: International business focuses on the multinational enterprise and the location of activities across national borders; economic geography studies the characteristics of the location site; and innovation scholars are mainly concerned with the technologies and knowledge that arises from the interaction of location and the creativity of actors. All these communities have drawn attention to collocation. However, the nexus of the three literatures is surprisingly thin, in particular with regard to the conditions under which collocation is an advantage or a disadvantage. In this paper, we take stock of the knowledge developed by the three communities and move the discussion further by qualifying a number of these conditions. Based on these considerations, we then propose a number of directions for future research.

Title: Bounded careers in creative industries: Surprising patterns in video games
Abstract: 
 We contribute empirical evidence to the literature on careers in creative industries. It has been argued that boundaryless career patterns are at the core of creative industries. We question this widely held argument and show that the most innovative Japanese video game developers make use of employment models that prioritise stable employment and bounded careers linked to it. The paper makes several contributions: First, it carefully describes career development patterns of Japanese video game developers, which have so far not been documented. We hereby contribute to the literature on creative industries by adding an important empirical case of bounded career patterns. Second, we try to explain why Japanese firms stick to traditional practices by addressing the link of bounded careers to integrative capabilities, and discuss what this means for creative industries in general and for video games in particular. We argue that integrative capabilities matter also in creative industries.

Title: Innovation and the growth of service companies: the variety of firm activities and industry effects
Abstract: 
 This paper examines the relationship between innovation performance and employment growth in firms by taking a closer look at specific innovation activities and industry effects in the context of the services sector. Firm-level CIS data on Polish services firms in 2004–2009 are analysed using robust M-estimation. The results indicate that the effects of product, process and organisational innovations depend strongly on the level of technological opportunities in the industry in question. Given the widely acknowledged role of marketing innovations in services, possible synergies between innovations in the form of new products and new marketing techniques are also analysed. We demonstrate that marketing innovations are conducive to firm growth if they complement product innovations, but they are less likely to foster growth when applied in isolation.

Title: Innovation at the end of the life cycle: discontinuous innovation strategies by incumbents
Abstract: 
 This paper focuses on the strategies of incumbents that seek to develop discontinuous innovations within the boundaries of a mature innovation system. Mature innovation systems do not provide support for these discontinuous innovations. This article focuses on exploring why incumbents in these setting engage in discontinuous innovation and what strategies they deploy to become successful. We analyse 10 cases of incumbents developing discontinuous innovations in the mature Dutch greenhouse horticulture sector. The results of our analysis show that the incumbents are primarily triggered by dissatisfaction with the current way of doing business and that the existing institutions are the main barrier to discontinuous innovation. In response, the incumbents try to circumvent the existing innovation system in their innovation process, but when successful also engage in changing the existing innovation system. This paper contributes to the understanding of the role of incumbents as source of discontinuous innovation in mature innovation systems.

Title: R&amp;D and firm performance in the semiconductor industry
Abstract: 
 While the semiconductor industry is still dominated by large vertically integrated firms, fabless firms, which outsource their manufacturing, are gaining market share. Fabless firms are considered to have an advantage in product innovation, as they can focus their innovation efforts on chip design and can benefit from investments in process innovation made by their manufacturing partners. However, there is little empirical evidence of the performance of fabless firms compared to vertically integrated firms. This research empirically examines the relationship between R&amp;D and the financial performance of fabless and vertically integrated firms from 2000 to 2010. Our results show that fabless firms maintain higher gross and net margins, earn a higher return on assets (ROA) and have greater intangible value (Tobin’s q) than vertically integrated firms when controlling for size, capital intensity and R&amp;D ratio (R&amp;D/sales). This supports the argument that fabless firms achieve greater performance by focusing on one part of the innovation process. The relationship of R&amp;D ratio to net margin is negative for the whole sample, suggesting that the industry may be overinvesting in R&amp;D. Notably, the negative relationship is greater for fabless firms, which spend a higher amount of their sales on R&amp;D. The relationship of R&amp;D ratio to ROA and Tobin’s q is negative, and there is no significant difference between fabless and integrated firms. We conclude that fabless firms outperform integrated firms overall, but are somewhat worse in terms of increasing profits and creating value from their R&amp;D investments.

Title: How does the search for knowledge drive firms’ eco-innovation? Evidence from the wine industry
Abstract: 
 The importance of eco-innovations to food manufacturing has risen exponentially in recent years. In this paper we investigate the drivers of different types of eco-innovation in the Italian wine industry, a particularly relevant sector both in terms of its economic performance and its use of natural resources. We focus on the internal knowledge sourcing of firms and on the ‘breadth’ and ‘depth’ of their engagement with external agents when performing eco-innovation activity. We test our research hypotheses in the context of cleaner processes, end-of-pipe technologies and the use of organic input factors. The empirical evidence is based on a questionnaire survey administered to 334 Italian wine producers. The econometric exercise provides mixed results: both internal R&amp;D and engagement with external agents have a significant effect on eco-innovations depending on the type of eco-innovation taken into account. Moreover, we find a non-linear relationship between external knowledge sourcing and eco-innovation activity.

Title: Is there a fallacy of composition of external R&amp;D? An empirical assessment of the impact of quasi-internal, external and offshored R&amp;D
Abstract: 
 Empirical studies at the individual firm level often find a positive impact of external R&amp;D on innovation. However, external R&amp;D sourcing might produce an impoverishment of the local knowledge base and thus damage innovation production at the regional level. To address this possible fallacy of composition, we first review the various forms of ‘external’ R&amp;D. We then use the French R&amp;D survey to assess the impact of four different ways of transacting or collaborating on R&amp;D: onshore affiliate external R&amp;D, offshore affiliate external R&amp;D, onshore non-affiliate and offshore non-affiliate external R&amp;D. We then estimate knowledge production functions on the 94 metropolitan French NUTS3 regions observed between 1997 and 2008, differentiating internal R&amp;D and these categories of external R&amp;D. We obtain that the impact of onshore non-affiliate external R&amp;D is significantly negative. The other external R&amp;D categories are non-significant and we do not detect any complementarity between internal and external R&amp;D.

Title: The productivity of knowledge mobilisation, knowledge capitalisation and product-related firm transmutation: exploring the case of small-scale garment-makers in Nairobi, Kenya
Abstract: 
 Highlighting the limitations of R&amp;D, this paper champions design activity as the phenomenon that captures knowledge mobilisation at the firm level, especially amongst small firms in developing countries. Still, knowledge becomes a capital (factor input) proper when employed in production. Volumes of new products sold could suggest the market value of utilised knowledge capital the same way the resale value of plant and equipment often approximates the stock of physical capital. Conversely, shares of sales of new products arguably capture an altogether different phenomenon: product-related firm transmutation. Findings suggest that the deeper utilisation of knowledge has significant productivity effects and supersedes mere mobilisation of knowledge. Further, undergoing transmutation towards the production of more of new products relative to incumbent products has no significant relationship with labour productivity. Firms should therefore prioritise the deeper exploitation of given new knowledge rather than potentially prodigal shifts in production towards new products as such.

Title: The interaction mode and geographic scope of firms’ technology alliances: implications of balancing exploration and exploitation in R&amp;D
Abstract: 
 This paper proposes that the interaction mode, i.e. interactive and iterative, and geographic scope, i.e. domestic and international, of technology alliances generate sources of exploration and exploitation for firms. An implication of this idea is that firms can use these sources for balancing its internal focus on exploratory and exploitative research and development activities (R&amp;D). Then, the paper suggests that the use of this balancing strategy has positive effects on a firm’s innovative performance. Using panel data based on Spanish manufacturing companies for the period 2004–2012, the empirical results confirm that firms balancing their internal exploration or exploitation in R&amp;D with sources of external exploitation or exploration in their technology alliances are the firms with better prospects to produce innovation streams. Implications for the literature on complementarities in innovation, ambidexterity and R&amp;D alliance formation are derived from the analysis.

Title: Stringency of regulation and innovation in waste management: an empirical analysis on EU countries
Abstract: 
 The transformation of waste into a valuable resource is a key process towards sustainable development and green growth and therefore represents a major concern for policy-makers. Technological innovation plays a crucial role in waste management and therefore understanding the way in which regulation may spur innovation in this domain constitute is crucial. This article aims at testing the weak version of the Porter hypothesis in waste management, by analysing the dynamic relationship between the stringency of environmental regulation and innovation in a European cross-country setting. Results confirm that the stringency of regulation positively affects innovation, but the effect is non-linear, suggesting the existence of an optimal cap to the stringency of regulation. Furthermore, the overall environmental conditions of the country, as well as the presence of highly polluting sectors hinder the development of environmental innovations.

Title: How high-tech entrepreneurial ventures cope with the global crisis: changes in product innovation and internationalization strategies
Abstract: 
 The global crisis that began in the second half of 2008 abruptly changed the business context, inducing firms to react by modifying their strategies. This paper examines changes in innovation and internationalization strategies that high-tech entrepreneurial ventures implemented to react to the crisis. Relying on insights from the behavioural theory of the firm and threat-rigidity theory, we explore the antecedents of firms’ investments in development of new products and in expansion in international markets and the consequences of these changes on firms’ growth performance. Econometric results from a sample of 140 Italian high-tech entrepreneurial ventures support the view that the stock of resources accumulated by larger firms, firms’ innovation and internationalization investments in the pre-crisis period and firms’ cash flow determine the extent of the two changes. The effects of these changes on firms’ short-term growth performance are positive only for investments in development of new products.

Title: Should I stay or should I go? Founder’s decision to leave an entrepreneurial venture during an industrial crisis
Abstract: 
 We investigate if while experiencing an intensely negative industry-specific shock, skilled entrepreneurs may decide to leave the firm they founded, whereas founders who are less endowed with human capital may decide to continue their activity. Developing a stylised theoretical framework of the issue intended to derive the necessary and sufficient conditions for the emergence of this phenomenon, this study explores its occurrence in Italy during the ICT industry crisis from early 2000–2003 by analysing the individual stay/leave decision of a sample of 201 founders of 79 start-ups operating in the ICT services market.

Title: The effects of internal technological diversity and external uncertainty on technological alliance portfolio diversity
Abstract: 
 This research proposes internal and external determinants that influence the diversity of a firm’s alliance portfolio. Focusing on technological aspects of the firm as well as investigating internal and external factors, we suggest that the internal technological diversity of the focal firm, as well as the technological uncertainty of the industry, affects the technological diversity of the alliance portfolio. The hypotheses are tested on a sample of U.S.-listed semiconductor firms’ global R&amp;D alliances from 1990 to 2010. We find that the internal technological diversity of a firm has a negative influence on its technological alliance portfolio diversity. However, technological alliance portfolio diversity seems unaffected by the uncertainty of the firm’s environment. This study contributes to prior literature which has extensively studied the effects of alliance portfolio diversity on firm performance but has paid little attention to its determinants.

Title: Determinants of internal and external R&amp;D offshoring: evidence from Spanish firms
Abstract: 
 This paper analyses the determinants of R&amp;D offshoring of Spanish firms using information from the Panel of Technological Innovation. We find that being an exporter, international technological cooperation, continuous R&amp;D engagement, applying for patents, being a foreign subsidiary, and firm size are factors that positively affect the decision to offshore R&amp;D. In addition, we find that a lack of financing is an obstacle relatively more important for independent firms than for firms that belong to business groups. For these latter, we also obtain that the factors that influence the decision to offshore R&amp;D differ depending on whether the firm purchases the R&amp;D services within the group or through the market: a higher degree of importance assigned to internal sources of information for innovation as compared to market sources increases (decreases) the probability of R&amp;D offshoring only through the group (market).

Title: Direct and indirect knowledge spillovers and industrial productivity
Abstract: 
 This paper analyses the importance of externalities related to the spread of innovation across sectors. Such spillover effects arise from R&amp;D activities and input–output (IO) linkages among sectors in the country. We borrow Spatial Econometrics techniques to make consistent estimates of the impact of these systematic direct and indirect spillovers on sector’s productivity and the possibility of other types of productivity spillovers in the error term. We find that direct spillovers emanating from IO horizontal linkages determine sector’s productivity, while the indirect effects prove to be negligible. Furthermore, the technological intensity of IO linkages and the productive structure of the underlying economy are key factors determining the effectiveness of economic policies focused on increasing total industrial productivity.

Title: Related yet diverging sectoral systems: telecommunications equipment and semiconductors in China
Abstract: 
 This study examines the evolution of the telecommunications equipment and semiconductor industries in China from 1978 to 2012 using the sectoral systems framework. The article advances research on sectoral systems by examining the diverging evolution of two vertically related industries from a common starting point. In one case, system factors worked to foster global competitiveness, while in the other case, system factors slowed the formation of a competitive industry. The findings contribute to research on industrial dynamics and catching up by suggesting that the characteristics of vertically integrated industries may be seen as two sectoral systems that interact and influence the speed and direction of innovation and industrial development of each other’s industries.

Title: The international geography of general purpose technologies (GPTs) and internationalisation of corporate technological innovation
Abstract: 
 This study is inspired by a discussion that there is a shift towards more internationalised innovation networks in multinational corporations. In this study, we introduce the concept of general purpose technologies (GPTs) and examine the role of GPTs in the internationalisation of innovation activities. Based on an U.S. Patent and Trademark Office database covering patents granted in the U.S. to large MNCs between 1969 and 1995, our empirical findings suggest that the development of GPTs is closely linked to the internationalisation of corporate innovations. Moreover, the internationalisation of GPTs is significantly associated with the level of centrality of GPTs within an industry. GPTs are more likely to be generated in an innovating firm’s foreign countries when they serve as the non-primary technologies in an industry. More importantly, a shift in the creations of GPTs to foreign countries is accompanied with increasingly more innovations in an industry’s primary technology areas being moved to host countries.

Title: What do stakeholders think about knowledge transfer offices? The perspective of firms and research groups in a regional innovation system
Abstract: 
 Knowledge transfer offices (KTOs) are required to adopt a comprehensive approach to managing a broad set of channels of university–industry collaboration, including collaborative research, business services, exchange of human resources and informal relations within a regional innovation system. The perspectives of firms and academic researchers, the main stakeholders of KTOs, are useful complements to assess KTO activity. The goal of this article is to study the effectiveness that these stakeholders attribute to KTOs. Based on survey data collected in the Spanish region of Andalusia, the article explores stakeholders’ perceptions and determinants. The results show that the level of engagement in a diversified range of activities and the importance attributed to knowledge transfer in the strategy of both research groups and firms are the best predictors of the perceived effectiveness of KTOs. The article also underlines specific differences between the two types of stakeholders.

Title: Innovations and productivity: the shift during the 2008 crisis
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates how the recent crisis of 2008 changed relations between innovation and firm performance in Western Europe. We apply a structural framework of CDM modelling, which incorporates different stages of the knowledge creation process and takes into account the complex nature of innovations. The study is based on a balanced panel data of 420 listed manufacturing firms from the U.K., Germany and France. All the information is gathered from common sources, thereby reducing subjectivity, a typical problem in the field. We found, the crisis resulted in appreciable changes in the model. The most important evidence is enhancement of the role of firm resources in the post-recession period. We also reveal larger barriers for innovations, increased uncertainty and lower state dependence in R&amp;D engagement, product creation and economic performance. These results could indicate the ‘cleaning effect’ of the crisis, which has worsened the business environment and enhanced competition.

Title: Knowledge dynamics as drivers of innovation in Haute Cuisine and culinary services
Abstract: 
 This paper analyses current innovation processes in Haute Cuisine and develops new insights into the nature of Haute Cuisine innovation and its institutional and organisational preconditions. The paper proposes an innovation paradigm that explains the roles of symbolic, synthetic and analytical knowledge during the various phases of innovation and challenges the innovation activity in Haute Cuisine as a linear model. It also explains the continuum between tacit and explicit knowledge throughout the innovation process. Symbolic knowledge has instilled Haute Cuisine and culinary tendencies, is a key element in its marketing and has allowed local cuisine to be branded internationally. The article aims to fill a research gap that has recently arisen on the existing tensions between idea creation and exploitation in Haute Cuisine innovation. The role of science appears as a tool that supports a chef’s creativity but does not substitute or drive it. This paper fulfills an identified need to study the innovation processes of Haute Cuisine to which academia has dedicated scarce attention. The paper analyses a case study, with a strong institutional focus, a complex and relevant example of the innovation tendencies in Haute Cuisine. It presents a rich case that comprises the complete process from the original inspiration to the final commercialisation.

Title: Exploring the relationship between types of family involvement and collaborative innovation in design-intensive firms: insights from two leading players in the furniture industry
Abstract: 
 Innovation in family firms has attracted considerable interest from scholars and practitioners in recent years. However, further theoretical and empirical research is needed to illuminate the intricate relationship between family involvement and innovation. This article studies the effect of different types of family involvement on the management of collaborative innovation. Based on empirical evidence from two leading Italian design-intensive firms in the furniture industry (B&B Italia and Cassina), this study illuminates how family involvement in control and management influences the way design-intensive firms collaborate with external designers to innovate their products. We use two indicators, design renewal and design identity, to capture differences in collaboration approaches through which design-intensive family firms involve external designers. Thus, our findings contribute to understanding how collaborative innovation is managed in family firms. This article also provides family firm owners and managers with insights on the forces that influence the collaborative innovation processes in design-intensive firms.

Title: Do the creative industries support growth and innovation in the wider economy? Industry relatedness and employment growth in Italy
Abstract: 
 The role of the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) in fostering innovation and growth in the wider economy has been much debated, beginning with Bakhshi et al. (2008) seminal contribution. Such studies of creative industries assign a strategic role to territories, but they provide little empirical evidence. In this paper, the issues of the creative economy are combined with evolutionary economic geography topics to understand whether the CCIs are able to foster innovation and growth in the wider economy. Using an indicator of the relatedness between creative and other sectors for the Italian provinces, we analyse employment growth over a period of ten years (2006–2015). A panel data analysis is then applied to investigate the role of relatedness and the clustering of creative industries in wider economic growth, showing that, to favour growth, the creative industries require the presence of other sectors with a high degree of proximity/relatedness.

Title: Designer portfolio archetypes in design-intensive industries
Abstract: 
 The paper analyzes the designer portfolio configurations employed by firms, in design-intensive industries, to implement different product design strategies. Using the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis methodology, the paper explores how decorative lamps manufacturers, that first adopted the new LED technology, assembled their designer portfolios. The study shows that, in the early phases of LED lamps, four different designer portfolio archetypes were adopted by firms, two of them related to a product language divergence strategy and two to a product language convergence strategy: international design-star archetype, crowd design-innovator archetype, local ambassador archetype, international bridge archetype. These four archetypes are discussed, contributing to a better understanding of the relationship between product design strategies and designers’ management in design-intensive industries.

Title: Design and eco-innovation: micro-evidence from the Eurobarometer survey
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates the role of design in making firms eco-innovate. Going beyond the ‘packed’ approach of environmental studies about ‘eco-design’, we maintain that the eco-innovative impact of design is correlated with the firm’s decision to invest in it. In turn, design investment is assumed connected with the use firms make of design. By pooling the Eurobarometer 2015 and 2016 surveys, we test for these arguments with respect to a sample of nearly 4500 European and non-European (US and Switzerland) manufacturing firms. Results confirm that the firms’ capacity of eco-innovating increases when they invest in design, also by making this investment dependent on the role of design within the firm. The relationship between eco-innovation and design appears robust with respect to the different kinds of ‘eco-innovators’ that the Eurobarometer enables us to consider, while some interesting variability emerges when splitting the sample by group of countries and industries.

Title: What hampers green product innovation: the effect of experience
Abstract: 
 Based on representative firm-level survey data for Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, this study systematically analyses the relevance and drivers of barriers to green product innovation using the example of green energy technologies. ‘Low willingness to pay’, ‘high development costs’, ‘high commercial uncertainty’, and ‘lack of favourable political framework’ are identified as the most important barriers. Moreover, we find that the firms’ innovation experience is an important driver of the level of green innovation barriers. Green innovation barriers are more accentuated for firms with green innovation activity than for firms with no green innovation activity. However, experience from different fields of green innovation and experience from non-green innovation activities help to limit these barriers.

Title: The structure and evolution of ICT global innovation network
Abstract: 
 We look at the structure and evolution of an information and communication technology (ICT) global innovation network (GIN) by mapping the locations of R&D centres belonging to a group of multinational ICT enterprises. We found that the number of countries and connections have increased in a very short time, and that most of the newcomers have come from Africa, Asia and South America. We show that a country’s network position affects the creation and intensity of R&D linkages with other countries in the network. This suggests that the evolution of the ICT GIN is driven by, among other things, the preferential attachment mechanism, i.e. countries tend to connect to those countries which have more links. A country’s position in the network also moderates the effect of standard determinants of innovation i, such as geographic distance. Hence, network position explains the creation of R&D linkages between such distant countries as the US, China or India.

Title: Critical links in knowledge networks – What about proximities and gatekeeper organisations?
Abstract: 
 The paper analyses links in knowledge networks that are essential for the integration and knowledge diffusion properties of the entire network. By focusing on critical links, as defined in network science, we evaluate these links’ properties from the perspective of the proximity and regional gatekeeper literature. We thereby gain insights into likely conditions of their emergence and functions. Moreover, we extend the dyadic perspective on regional gatekeeper organisations and link it more strongly to the network science and proximity framework literature. An empirical study applies these arguments and investigates the proximity characteristics of critical links in 132 technology-specific subsidised knowledge networks in Germany. The results show that critical links tend be formed between regional gatekeepers that offer related knowledge resources. The links bridge institutional distances by utilising the benefits of geographic and social proximity.

Title: Linking content and technology: on the geography of innovation networks in the Bergen media cluster
Abstract: 
 This paper deals with the geography of innovation networks and analyses combinatorial knowledge dynamics from a single cluster perspective. Addressing firms in the media cluster in Bergen, Norway, we examine how and from where companies acquire and combine different types of knowledge for their innovation activities. The empirical analysis, which is based on structured interviews with 22 media companies, identifies two main types of cluster firms: media content providers that rely heavily on symbolic knowledge and media technology providers that draw mostly on synthetic knowledge. Even though they draw on different knowledge bases, the two types of firms are strongly interlinked in their innovation activities and source knowledge from each other. Furthermore, we find that synthetic firms constitute a gateway to the regional R&D system and that the region acts as key arena for the combination of dissimilar knowledge bases.

Title: The importance of collaborative networks in Canadian scientific research
Abstract: 
 This study investigates co-author and co-inventor collaborations using scientific articles and patents to measure collaborative knowledge production. This paper assesses how a scientist’s position within the joint co-publication and co-invention network affects its production and citation impact. Our findings reveal that number of publications is strongly associated with the scientists’ position in co-author/inventor networks and that a scientist’s technological production actually increases with collaboration in such networks. These academic relationships have a significant impact on the future number of publication citations and appear to benefit the number of patent citations in the same measure.

Title: Editorial: why and when do firms trademark? Bridging perspectives from industrial organisation, innovation and entrepreneurship
Abstract: 
 This editorial to the special issue on “Trademarks and their role in innovation, entrepreneurship and industrial organization” proposes a novel framework to understand why and when firms file trademarks. The three perspectives at the core of the special issue offer several insights on trademark motives but have not been linked for understanding the underlying strategies and contingencies. We propose to study trademark motives in relation to the firm and the innovation life cycle stage. Inspired by the framework, we outline avenues for further research.

Title: On the price elasticity of demand for trademarks
Abstract: 
 One underexplored factor directly affecting firms’ use of trademarks relates to the fees associated with obtaining a mark. This paper provides econometric estimates of the fee elasticity of demand for trademark applications. Using a panel of monthly international trademark applications, I find that a 10-percent increase in fees leads to a 2.5–4.0-percent decrease in applications. The econometric analysis also highlights that trademark filings react strongly to economic activity. The results bear implications for literature on the value of trademarks and for the use of trademarks as innovation indicator. Specifically, low elasticity estimates suggest that trademarks provide significant economic value to their owners relative to their costs. However, one must exercise caution when comparing trademark numbers across countries to the extent that fees might differ substantially.

Title: From a distinctive sign to an exchangeable asset: exploring the U.S. market for trademark licensing
Abstract: 
 A remarkable growth in the value of trademark licencing has been recently recorded. Our paper contributes to the understanding of this under-explored phenomenon using a dataset newly released by the USPTO. Our study analyses the evolution of licencing activities in the U.S. during the 2003–2017 period, the characteristics of these trademarks and agreements, and certain features of the licencing parties involved. We found that licencing activities varied considerably during these years. They were usually signed between two parties only, and, on average, they involved more than one trademark. Excluding under-reporting effect, the analyses reveal that a large portion of heterogeneity in licencing activity is due to the NICE international classes associated with each trademark. Indeed, trademark licencing agreements appear to be unevenly distributed across these classes, suggesting that this activity and the way it is carried out is correlated with the market to which the licenced trademark refers.

Title: Are two better than one? Modelling the complementarity between patents and trademarks across industries
Abstract: 
 Intellectual property (IP) rights are a major component of firms’ strategies to appropriate the benefits of their innovations. This paper aims at assessing the interactions between two types of IP rights, namely patents and trademarks. We first model the effect of these two types of IP rights on the returns of innovations for firms. Based on a supermodularity analysis, we then show that the complementarity between trademarks and patents varies according to the characteristics of the market. Depending on the levels of advertising’s spillovers and depreciation rate, trademarks are found to be complementary or not to patents. Finally, based on a data set encompassing the IP activity of a sample of publicly traded firms among the top corporate R&D investors worldwide, we find that patents and trademarks are complementary in chemical and pharmaceutical sectors, but not in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) sectors.

Title: The valuation of patent-trademark pairing as IP strategy: evidence from the USPTO
Abstract: 
 The benefits of an IP strategy for an innovative project that combines both patenting and trademarking are compared to those of patenting alone. The results of the proposed econometric analysis of patents indicate that a strategy that pairs patenting and trademarking almost doubles patent value. The validity of this result was confirmed by examining several patentee demographic characteristics and an extensive set of patent value indicators regarding breadth and technology potential, prior art and patent background, filing and procedural aspects of a patent and IP usage mode. Quite interesting, when the holder of a utility patent also obtains a design patent, rather than opting for a trademark, there is no enhancement of the premium value.

Title: Overlap in external technology search locations and the breadth of IPR assets: lessons from the Security Software Industry
Abstract: 
 This study examines the effect of intellectual property rights (IPR) on firms’ geographic overlap strategy of external technology search (ETS) compared to rivals. I reveal that firms are able to realise less intensity of geographic overlap in ETS locations compared to competitors and that this outcome is a function of the breadth of their upstream (generality of patents) and downstream (diversification of trademarks) IPR tools. Accordingly, I conclude that both covariates influence the spatial isolation of ETS vis-à-vis competitors. The effect of generality of patents on isolation, however, is more pronounced in comparison with diversification of trademarks at strategic technology alliances, meanwhile the reverse scenario is true at acquisitions. I also reveal relevant findings about resource-rich organisations defined as those with the broadest portfolio of such up- and downstream IPR assets within the industry.

Title: Why do innovators not apply for trademarks? The role of information asymmetries and collaborative innovation
Abstract: 
 This paper analyses the underlying reasons why innovators do not apply for trademarks for all of their valuable inventions. Using a unique database of UK innovations linked to innovative firms, the empirical analysis highlights the many ways that firms can alleviate information asymmetries and the constraints imposed by collaborative innovation without taking recourse to trademarks. When information asymmetries are not at stake, i.e. when firms use an already existing trademark for their innovations or when they use intermediaries for its distribution, trademarks no longer serve their purpose, leading firms to avoid using it for their innovations. Open innovation also decreases the incentive to trademark, especially when the innovative process involves users, mainly because of property rights issues or because the innovator prefers to use the clients’ own distribution channels.

Title: Trademarks and their association with Kirznerian entrepreneurs
Abstract: 
 Although trademarks are the most widely used form of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) by firms across all economic sectors worldwide, this indicator is a much less exploited information resource in empirical analysis compared with patents. Our work addresses this gap by investigating the relationship between trademark registration and entrepreneurial activity using data for 33 European countries. Our empirical results show a positive and significant relationship between the share of the self-employed workforce in a given country that can be considered ‘entrepreneurial’ – which we associate with the share of Kirznerian entrepreneurs – and trademark registration at the country level. These results have important implications for scholars, practitioners and policymakers, which are discussed in this work.

Title: Innovation activities and business cycles: are trademarks a leading indicator?
Abstract: 
 Despite the widespread use of economic information to anticipate changes in business conditions, innovation metrics are not considered to be leading indicators. We argue that aggregate trademark data reflect firm-level choices that can help predict business cycles. In addition to establishing the conceptual basis for considering trademarks, our statistical evaluations, using turning point analysis and a novel machine learning method, find that trademark filings for product and service offerings in commercial use outperform many of the conventional leading indicators. Our work suggests that including trademark metrics in composite indexes could improve recession forecasting performance.

Title: What facilitates external knowledge utilisation in SMEs? – An optimal configuration between openness intensity and organisational moderators
Abstract: 
 This study explores the complex relationships between open innovation (OI) climate and OI activities by investigating the changing moderating effects of organisational facilitators in small innovative firms. Our partial least squares structural equation modelling analysis suggests (1) OI-friendly climate promotes OI activities, (2) this process is further facilitated by various organisational efforts, but (3) the efforts firms must put in are proportional to the level of openness intensity. The findings also suggest that systematic knowledge management is the most basic facilitator, while entrepreneurial orientation is generally underperformed despite its high importance. This study provides implications for managers and policymakers who lead OI adoption and implementation.Abbreviation: SMEs - Small and Medium-sized Enterprises; PLS-SEM - Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modeling

Title: Internal barriers to innovation and university-industry cooperation among technology-based SMEs in Brazil
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates the association between internal barriers to innovation and the propensity of technology-based SMEs to cooperate with universities and research institutes (URIs). We examine empirically two types of internal company barriers – financial and knowledge obstacles to innovation. The data source is the latest edition of the Brazilian Innovation Survey (PINTEC). We analyse the full sample of technology-based SMEs as well as the subsamples of high-tech manufacturing companies and knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS). Financial obstacles are shown to be strongly related to the propensity of KIBS to collaborate with URIs. Knowledge obstacles are moderately related to the propensity of high-tech manufacturing SMEs to collaborate with URIs. We conclude that while URIs have other important roles in the techno-economic system, their perceived contribution to alleviating internal innovation barriers for technology-based SMEs may be less prominent than policy decision-makers in emerging economies may expect.

Title: Harnessing adaptive capacity to close the pandora’s box of open innovation
Abstract: 
 This paper focuses on how companies deploy structural properties of adaptive capacity (multiplexity, redundancy and loose coupling) to cope with the phenomenon of internal challenges of Open Innovation (OI) implementation, i.e. organisational and cultural changes. We developed a single case study, which offered significant findings. First, the multiplexity of relationships in OI settings helps to face the challenges of organisational and cultural changes by triggering trust formation and interaction. Second, redundancy has twofold elements: institutional logics redundancy triggers cultural change challenges which can be overcome through management practices and communications; task redundancy facilitates knowledge sharing and collaboration, thus helping to deal with organisational change challenges. Finally, loose coupling in OI settings facilitates social interconnectedness among members through management practices, helping to face organisational and cultural change challenges. We provide managerial and theoretical implication to deal with the challenges of OI in relation to both organisational and cultural changes.

Title: Collaborative ties and ambidextrous innovation: insights from internal and external knowledge acquisition
Abstract: 
 Building collaborative ties has become an increasingly important strategy for influencing firms’ ambidextrous innovation in transition economies, we examine the relationship between collaborative ties and ambidextrous innovation—with a focus on the mediating effect of knowledge acquisition using firm-level data in China. The empirical results reveal several important findings. First, collaborative ties among partners have a positive effect on firms’ ambidextrous innovation. Second, collaborative ties among partners are more beneficial to the firm’s external knowledge acquisition than internal knowledge acquisition. Lastly, the mediating effect of internal knowledge acquisition on the relationship between collaborative ties and ambidextrous innovation of firms is higher than that of external knowledge acquisition. These findings contribute to the literature on ambidexterity theory. Moreover, these findings also extend our understanding of the importance of the integration of internal and external knowledge acquisition in collaborative relationships, and enrich knowledge management literature within the collaborative ties framework.

Title: The relationship between digital technologies and internationalisation. Evidence from Italian SMEs
Abstract: 
 The article empirically explores the role of e-business digital technologies in explaining the export propensity of Italian SMEs and focuses on the adoption and implementation of e-business technologies that enable firms to share information along the supply chain in order to take into account potential heterogeneities in paths of digitalisation. Our results, besides confirming the positive role of internet-based technologies already investigated in the current literature, show that e-business technologies have a positive impact on internationalisation only when they are embedded within process and organisational innovations and investments in digital skills have been made. This indirectly supports the argument that as the array of technological choices increases, the need for concurrent internal changes, as well as a detailed assessment of the connectedness between technological alternatives and specific business types, industries, or trading environment become increasingly important.

Title: Innovation ambidexterity: balancing exploitation and exploration for startup and established restaurants and impacts upon performance
Abstract: 
 This study was designed to examine how important a balance between exploitation (proximity to existing technologies, products and services) and exploration (proximity to existing consumer segments) representing innovation ambidexterity, would be for improved restaurant performance. Also investigated was whether or not innovation ambidexterity played different roles in performance with respect to stages of business life cycles represented by startup and established restaurants. Using data obtained from 317 owners and managers of independent casual dining restaurants, a nonlinear approach was adopted to test our hypotheses. Results supported the significant and positive relationship between innovation ambidexterity and restaurant performance. More specifically, balancing exploitative and exploratory innovation was significantly and positively associated with startup restaurant performance. However, its relationship with established restaurant performance was not significant. Results also confirmed that exploitative innovation was more important than exploratory innovation for startup restaurants, while exploratory innovation was more important for established restaurants.

Title: Industrial internet platform provider and end-user perceptions of platform openness impacts
Abstract: 
 This paper aims to analyse and understand the perceived impacts of platform openness from the perspective of the Industrial Internet (II) platform providers and end-users. A qualitative case study approach was used to analyse the impact of II platform openness on platform end-users’ businesses. Four major II platforms and two II platform end-users were interviewed as part of the case studies. From the end-user perspective, the perceived impacts of II platform openness were different from the II platform providers. This research will allow managers of end-user companies to make informed decisions while selecting platforms based on the level of openness. The novelty, as well as the aim of this paper, is to analyse and understand the perceptions of II platform providers and end-users when it comes to II-platform openness and related impacts. Long-term impacts, in particular, are difficult to envision before using II platforms or experimenting with various other platforms.

Title: A view of clustering as emergent and innovative processes
Abstract: 
 The aim of government cluster programmes is to create clusters that strengthen businesses competitive edge and generate local development. Recent research, however, identifies missing elements regarding agency in existing path dependency explanations of the way in which clusters develop. In an alternative explanation, path creation emphases the distinction between agency and structure as ‘flattened’, and action-net emphases organising as an ongoing activity with only temporary stable implementations. This is explored in an analysis of a funded cluster project in the making, through varying and complex innovative processes, from 2006 until 2016. The findings show clustering as a path development process with knowledgeable actors mindfully framing opportunities and artefacts creating opportunities, and to be not as unambiguous and well-defined as expressed in traditional analyses, that have an outside perspective and focusing on structure and actors. Cluster projects and programmes potential lie in framework, tools and methods, more than in the financing.

Title: Creative industries agglomeration and entrepreneurship in China: necessity or opportunity?
Abstract: 
 This paper seeks to address the question of how the type of agglomeration externalities impacts on the type of entrepreneurship at the regional level. Using China’s provincial panel data from 2003 to 2015, we employ the Generalised Moment Method to test the role of regional specialisation and geographic concentration in necessity-driven and/or opportunity-driven entrepreneurship. In general, the empirical results show that entrepreneurial activities motivated by opportunity, rather than by necessity, tend to be higher in a more specialised or more concentrated area in the context of creative industries. The results are basically consistent and robust by regressions within different groups of creative sectors. The paper is helpful in examining the channels by which entrepreneurial activities can be stimulated by industries clustering strategy.

Title: Economic crisis and firm exit: do intangibles matter?
Abstract: 
 The financial crisis has caused many business closures, especially in the periphery of the European Monetary Union. In this paper, we use original firm-level Italian data to explore the role of intangibles in limiting firm exit during the crisis. While intangibles strengthen firms’ resilience, i.e. the ability to cope with unexpected shocks, they also entail sunk costs, which expose firms to greater financial risk. In the longer term, when access to external finance is critical for survival, we expect intangibles to play a positive role only if combined with a solid financial structure. Our results support these hypotheses: intangibles directly reduce the probability of firm exit during the initial phase of the crisis (before 2010). At later stages, the beneficial effect of intangible assets is conditional on the firm exhibiting a solid pre-crisis financial status. Managerial and policy implications are discussed.

Title: Knowledge-intensive sectors and the role of collective performance-related pay
Abstract: 
 The main contribution of this study is showing that the efficiency effects of collective performance-related pay (CPRP) are more pronounced in knowledge-intensive service sectors (KISs) than in other sectors. The hypothesis is that human resource practices such as CPRP are particularly useful for enhancing firm performance when innovation-supporting knowledge is distributed among multiple skill sets and employee creativity, knowledge creation and knowledge sharing are key success factors for the firm. Cross-sectional estimates obtained for a national sample of approximately 3,800 Italian firms confirm this prediction. These results are validated by adopting a treatment effect approach to solve the self-selection problem.

Title: The importance of geographical distance to different types of R&D collaboration in the pharmaceutical industry
Abstract: 
 Innovation within companies is generated by a combination of different types of knowledge from external and geographically dispersed sources. Although the geographical dimension of collaboration has previously been investigated, studies have not distinguished between different types of knowledge involved in collaboration. This article analyses how the number of collaborations between pharmaceutical multinational companies (MNCs) and external organizations is affected by geographical distance, distinguishing between four knowledge types: basic science, clinical science, core knowledge, and exploration knowledge. We use co-publications as a proxy for collaborations. Our results show that collaborations in basic science and core knowledge areas are more negatively affected by geographical distance than collaborations within clinical science and exploration knowledge areas. This suggests that the importance of geographic proximity depends on the type of knowledge that is being transferred in R&D collaborations. Our results have implications for companies´ collaboration strategies and their choices for the R&D sites´ location.

Title: Agglomeration and innovation of knowledge intensive business services
Abstract: 
 For some time now, the research focusing on Knowledge Intensive Business Services (KIBS) has been very active. Observing that knowledge as a production factor is only becoming more and more pronounced, this focus is well-grounded. It is therefore important to examine how these knowledge-hubs gain and propagate their knowledge. We hypothesize that KIBS (as many other sectors) benefit from intra-industry knowledge spillovers facilitated by geographical concentration. Our focus is the innovative capacity of KIBS, which we measure through trademarks registered by KIBS firms. While there may be several mechanisms facilitating knowledge spillovers, we can identify local intra-sectoral labor mobility as one. Accessibility measures are used to assess the geographical attenuation of the spillover effects. Results show that the distance decay of spillovers is fast. Only local concentrations of KIBS seem to be of importance. Over longer distances, we instead observe negative consequences for trademarking, indicating possible spatial competition effects.

Title: The invisible college of cluster research: a bibliometric core–periphery analysis of the literature
Abstract: 
 This paper explores the evolutionary trajectories of cluster research, building upon the sociology of science concept of the invisible college, and it undertakes a core–periphery analysis of the literature. We build a database that includes 8,381 articles, collected from Web of Science, that cite the foundational works of cluster research, and we perform a longitudinal analysis of its evolution from 1985 onward, identifying the core and periphery, in terms of keywords and concepts, for each period (six-year window). We find evidence that cluster research has a core–periphery structure. Literature develops thanks to new inputs from the periphery, which increases over time as the core progressively shrinks. The periphery becomes fragmented and is characterised by subgroups of small communities. Drawing on the metaphor of the invisible college, we argue that this evolutionary trajectory is not exclusive of the cluster but might possibly characterise other scientific concepts.

Title: The function of ability, benevolence, and integrity-based trust in innovation networks
Abstract: 
 This study contributes to the understanding of how trust based on perceived ability, benevolence, and integrity functions in networks. It adopts a mixed-method approach with quantitative and qualitative data from five Norwegian innovation networks. The study demonstrates how trust based on perceived benevolence, ability, and integrity influences different aspects of network interaction and network outcomes against the background of the network members’ perceptions of risk. Moreover, it finds that these dimensions of trust function differently at the inter-organisational and at the network level. The former level here concerns trust between the organisations in the network, while the latter concerns trust in the network more generally. Benevolence-based trust is identified as particularly salient at both levels for promoting open and honest communication as well as knowledge sharing, enabling both more successful collaboration in general, and more innovation specifically.

Title: Do systemic innovation intermediaries broaden horizons? A proximity perspective on R&D partnership formation
Abstract: 
 As systemic innovation intermediaries (SII) orchestrate interactions between innovative actors, they might alleviate the constraints of proximity effects on R&D partnership formation. We test this for existing and new R&D projects established under the Dutch Topconsortia for Knowledge and Innovation. Regression results show that partnerships between firms belonging to the same SII are less sensitive to cognitive proximity, suggesting that the intermediaries facilitate uncommon distant collaboration. At the same time, we find that SII may strengthen social proximity among partners. The influence of organisational proximity seems independent of SII, while geographic proximity loses relevance after the introduction of the intermediaries. SII thus seem to create bridges between distant firms that otherwise may not have collaborated together, while also enhancing the risk of excessive in-group thinking. We conclude with research and policy implications.AbbreviationResearch and development (R&D)

Title: Identifying cooperation for innovation―a comparison of data sources
Abstract: 
 The value of social network analysis is critically dependent on the comprehensive and reliable identification of actors and their relationships. We compare regional knowledge networks based on different types of data sources, namely, co-patents, co-publications, and publicly subsidized collaborative R&D projects. Moreover, by combining these three data sources, we construct a multilayer network that provides a comprehensive picture of intraregional interactions. By comparing the networks based on the data sources, we address the problems of coverage and selection bias. We observe that using only one data source leads to a severe underestimation of regional knowledge interactions, especially those of private sector firms and independent researchers.

Title: The importance of vocational education institutions in manufacturing regions: adding content to a broad definition of regional innovation systems
Abstract: 
 This paper explores the importance of vocational education institutions in regional innovation systems, and the role skilled workers have in implementing new technologies in manufacturing industries. The case study is founded on a broad conceptualisation of RISs, emphasising the importance of all relevant parts of the industrial and institutional system. We analyse the collaboration between industry actors and vocational education institutions in two Norwegian manufacturing regions. The analysis demonstrates how, in developing new education programmes tailored for contemporary and future manufacturing, vocational education institutions are essential for manufacturers’ competitiveness. The paper adds empirical content to the hitherto highly theoretical concept of broad RISs, emphasising the key role of skilled workers and engineering technicians when implementing new manufacturing technologies. Furthermore, we explain how the vocational education institutions and RISs are co-evolving with emerging technologies in terms of changed knowledge demands in the industry, prompting new education programmes in vocational education institutions.

Title: The diffusion of a policy innovation in the energy sector: evidence from the collective switching case in Europe
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates the heterogeneity of ways through which a policy innovation affects the structure and the complex interactions taking place within a business ecosystem and how different business ecosystems react differently to a policy innovation, given their structural and behavioural characteristics. The paper focuses on a specific policy innovation, namely the collective switching. We performed a cross-country analysis using the 6C framework as a tool for identifying differences in the structure and behaviours of energy business ecosystems after the introduction of collective switching. We examined in rich detail 11 European countries’ collective switching campaigns, and provide an accurate description of the transformations of their energy business ecosystems. Semi-structured interviews, conducted with consumer associations that organised collective switching campaigns, provide insights for the definition of some policy interventions.

Title: Firm market valuation and intellectual property assets
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates the relationship between the innovative activity of the top corporate R&D investors worldwide and their market valuation. The analysis exploits a sample of more than 1,250 publicly listed Multinational Corporations (MNCs) and their intellectual property rights (IPR) – patents and trademarks – filed between 2005 and 2012. The study contributes to the literature on the IPR-market value link by examining the premium resulting from the interactive use of different IPR. Moreover, the empirical setting allows differentiating the effects of an increase in market value derived from additional IPR (within-effects) with respect to the premium received for holding more IPR than the competitors (between-effects). The findings suggest that investors value the simultaneous use of the two IPRs and form their expectations by benchmarking firms. Finally, significant industrial specificities are observed in the individual effects of patents, trademarks and their interactions on the market value of firms.

Title: Which firms use trademarks? Firm-level evidence from Germany on the role of distance, product quality and innovation
Abstract: 
 Trademarking firms are more productive, generate higher profits, and have a better survival rate. Trademarking firms are in one word more successful, which might motivate non-trademarking firms to adopt a trademark strategy. But this does not seem to be the case. The proportion of trademarking firms in the German business sector amounts to just 18%. This figure is quite low, given that nearly each firm has reputation to protect. But why does the vast majority of firms not have registered trademarks? Using a representative sample of German firms, the present paper links certain firm characteristics to a firm’s propensity to register trademarks. The empirical results point to circumstances under which trademarks are significantly more often used: this is the case where a large distance between a firm and its customers exists, a firm’s product quality is difficult to assess, a firm’s products are characterised by a limited (but not strong) substitutability, and where a firm is engaged in R&D and introduces innovative products. Trademarks are considerably less frequently used if none of this is the case.

Title: Concordance and complementarity in IP instruments
Abstract: 
 This work investigates the relationship between proxies of innovation activities, such as patents and trademarks, and firm performance in terms of revenues, growth, and profitability. By resorting to the virtual universe of Italian manufacturing and service firms, this work provides a rather complete picture of the Intellectual Property (IP) strategies pursued by Italian firms, in terms of patents and trademarks, and studies whether the two instruments for protecting IP exhibit complementarity or substitutability. In addition, and to our knowledge novel, we propose a measure of concordance (or proximity) between the patents and trademarks owned by the same firm and we then investigate whether such concordance exerts any effect on performance. The results suggest that while patents and trademarks independently exert a relevant impact on firm performance, there is no convincing evidence in favour of a complementary role of IP.

Title: Launch of a product and patents: evidence from the US cardiovascular pharmaceutical sector
Abstract: 
 Recent literature on the role of patents in shaping competition between incumbents and new entrants shows mixed evidence, as patents can discourage entry into markets but may also encourage potential entrants by increasing profitability from research and development. The increasing use of patents as strategic weapons motivates this investigation of the impact of innovation on competition. In a case study of US pharmaceutical cardiovascular submarkets over the period 1988–1998, we use a panel probit model to study the impact of a firm’s patents and rivals’ patents in the firm’s decision to launch new products. Our results show that the number of a firm’s lagged patents encourages the firm’s entry with new products, while rivals’ initial stock of patents discourages entry, but more recent patents promote entry by opening new technological opportunities.

Title: Exploring the impact of organisational, technological and relational contingencies on innovation speed in the light of open innovation
Abstract: 
 Striving for competitive advantage pushes firms to innovate at a high speed along innovation contingencies and resource limitations they face. Yet, little is known about how management of contingencies such as absorptive capacity or technology radicalness can impact the innovation speed of firms. In this explorative study, we provide new empirical evidence to the innovation speed literature. We examine to what extent innovation speed is affected by organisational, technological, and relational contingencies that preoccupy firms with open innovation practices. Taking the firm perspective, we track innovation timeline and emphasise the complex trade-offs that firms encounter while innovating. Our results show that many of the contingencies, emphasised by the literature promoting innovation, could slow down its speed. Thus, strengthening competitiveness by accommodating contingencies can hinder time-critical adaptations. Furthermore, we find that innovation assets and capabilities can become liabilities for technologically innovative firms.

Title: The co-location of innovation and production in clusters
Abstract: 
 This paper quantifies the extent of co-location of innovation and production for industry clusters with varying knowledge intensity. If input-output, knowledge, and skill linkages are interdependent and geographically bounded, then we would expect innovation and production to be co-located in regional clusters. However, theory predicts that the degree of agglomeration benefits associated with co-location may vary across economic activities with different knowledge intensity. Using data from the U.S. Cluster Mapping Project, I develop measures of the co-location of innovation and production for 27 industry clusters, examining patterns across regions and over time (1998–2015) in the United States. I find that there is a significant co-location of innovation and production for many clusters, especially for those with higher knowledge intensity. This paper focuses on the Information Technology and Analytical Instruments cluster and the Automotive cluster to illustrate the co-location measures and the micro-geography of innovation and production.

Title: Going local: placing entrepreneurial microgeographies in a larger regional context
Abstract: 
 As cities seek to promote innovation, they are increasingly investing in localised institutional entrepreneurial supports. Some institutions are hyperlocal, operating within distinct geographic sub-spaces and funnelling entrepreneurial ventures within spatially bounded microgeographies. In this paper, we focus on the University of North Carolina, where actors from the business school helped build a unique web of hyperlocal entrepreneurial supports that reinforced core educational and research missions but also culminated in proximate university business incubators. We examine how this programmatic changes correspond to a marked increase in entrepreneurial intensity as well as ageographic tightening of firms in and around the campus. Yet we also find evidence for an additional effect, namely an earlier launch of entrepreneurial firms based on less-tested technologies. The results speak to the power of institutional actors in shaping entrepreneurial activities while raising broader questions about the impact of university programming on regional industry and innovation.

Title: Physical distance vs. clustering as influences on contracting complexity for biopharmaceutical alliances
Abstract: 
 We examine whether the presence of alliance firms in the same regional cluster or in close physical proximity influences contracting behaviour of biopharmaceutical companies by enhancing coordination and mitigating the need for control. The literature addressing geographical proximity and alliance contracting fails to make a clear distinction between physical co-location and co-location within a cluster, although the two attributes are conceptually distinct. We find that geographic proximity is not related to contracting behaviour. The impact of co-location within a cluster is more nuanced. Specifically, we find that co-location in the San Francisco Bay Area cluster is associated with less complex contracting; however, co-location in other biotechnology clusters does not seem to be related to contracting behaviour. We believe that the informal business environment characterising the Bay Area cluster, as well as unique roles played by venture capital and law firms located in the Bay Area account for the distinct result.

Title: Does size still matter? How micro firms and SMEs vary in network learning
Abstract: 
 How can geographically constrained Micro firms and SMEs in emerging markets upgrade their products? How might firm size affect the benefits from accessing diverse knowledge and from participating in different learning relationships? Although access to diverse knowledge can be vital to innovation, smaller firms have a limited understanding about which new knowledge is most relevant to their context and how they may convert their capabilities into a more innovative organization. These latter aspects, we argue, come largely from relationships embedded in interfirm networks and certain types of non-market institutions that act as knowledge bridges and provide tutelage. Such institutions appear to benefit Micro firms in processing diverse knowledge. In contrast, product upgrading for SMEs improves more from their inter-firm networks, but these networks do not aid with managing diverse knowledge. We argue that differences in complementary capacities explain these variations. We use unique survey data from the Argentine wine industry.

Title: Green together? The effects of companies’ innovation collaboration with different partner types on ecological process and product innovation
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates the effect of companies’ innovation collaboration with different partner types on the emergence of different typologies of ecological innovation (EI), specifically process- and product-EI. Econometric analyses, based on a sample of 546 German manufacturing companies collected as part of the Community Innovation Survey, indicate a differential effect of collaboration with individual partner types. Specifically, we find that collaboration with consumers is associated positively with both process- and product-EI, whereas collaboration with universities and suppliers is associated positively only with process-EI. Collaboration with enterprise customers and competitors is neither associated with process-EI nor product-EI. Our results shed light on the mechanisms within the recently established open eco-innovation mode and emphasise the importance for theory and practice of distinguishing among collaboration partners, contingent on the underlying typology of EI. We discuss important implications for theory and practice.

Title: The emergence of renewable energy technologies at country level: relatedness, international knowledge spillovers and domestic energy markets
Abstract: 
 Global sustainable development critically depends on a fundamental transformation of our current energy systems. This paper looks at how countries develop different types of renewable energy technology to achieve this transformation. We highlight the place-dependence in the global innovation systems of renewable energy technologies by focusing on how countries benefit from local and global knowledge. We show that both the relatedness of a country’s knowledge base, and international knowledge spillovers contribute to the development of renewable energy technologies. For low- and middle- income countries, domestic markets for renewables play a crucial role in absorbing and utilising these international knowledge spillovers. The results provide a better understanding of how countries can acquire new knowledge in renewable energy technologies.

Title: Who is leaping through failure? The influence of innovation characteristics on learning from failure
Abstract: 
 When firms encounter problems, they struggle to find the best solutions. These experiences encourage firms to learn and can lead to innovation. Therefore, researchers have emphasised the importance of experiential learning. It has been emphasised that not only successful experience but also failure experience has a greater impact on firms to achieve innovation, and paradoxically, failure can be an important asset. However, there are conflicting arguments as to the relationship between failure experience and innovation. This study applies the coarsened exact matching (CEM) method, which is one of the matching methods, to elaborate on whether failure experience has a significant effect on innovation. Innovation through failure is not the same in every organisation. Based on firms’ internal innovation-related characteristics, this study also examines which characteristics may produce innovation from failure experience.

Title: Indirect effects of direct subsidies: an examination of signaling effects
Abstract: 
 This study draws on signalling theory to investigate how government funded research and development (R&D) subsidies influence corporate external financing through their direct and indirect impacts. Analysing data from 469 listed companies in China’s high-tech industries from 2009 to 2016 and after controlling for potential endogenous concerns, the authors find that R&D subsidies have positive effects on corporate short-term debt financing and equity financing but no effects on long-term debt financing. More importantly, their empirical evidence suggests that R&D subsidies serve as an important signalling mechanism to reduce information asymmetry, which in turn affect different types of corporate external financing. These findings contribute to the literature by demonstrating how R&D subsidies serve as market signals to attract external financing, offering important implications to academia, practitioners, and policy makers.

Title: The four faces of creative industries: visualising the game industry ecosystem in Helsinki and Tokyo
Abstract: 
 Research on creative industries has been gaining momentum during the last few decades with contributions coming from diverse fields. This said, there is a paucity of studies to specify how and why companies in the game industry cluster. In this paper, we inquire into how individuals visualise perceptions of their game industry ecosystem in Helsinki, Finland, and Tokyo, Japan. Tokyo is one of the oldest game industry hotspots, whereas Helsinki has entered the picture only during the 21st century. Utilising drawings and their analysis and interpretation as our research method, in this paper we highlight the contested nature of ecosystems as arenas for collaboration and coopetition, shedding light on the diversity of ways individuals conceptualise an ecosystem. Our analysis yields four faces of ecosystems that help in understanding perceptions of clustering in the creative industries.

Title: The unintended consequences of biotechnology innovation adoption
Abstract: 
 We conjecture that adoption of agricultural biotech innovation imposes relationship-specific investments that exacerbate hold-up costs between biotech producers and farmers. Moreover, the increasing presence of biotech reduces biodiversity, which is a significant negative externality on food production across farms. As such, increasing biotech has the potential to exacerbate food insecurity. By contrast, certified organic operations have the potential to have the opposite effect. We examine 15 agrarian states in the U.S. and find evidence strongly consistent with these propositions. We discuss implications for policy, practice, and future research.

Title: An integrative model of the influence of self-esteem on adolescents’ consumer innovativeness: the mediating role of social network position and need for uniqueness
Abstract: 
 Despite extensive investigations, full comprehension of consumer innovativeness remains elusive during adolescence. This study explores the different routes by which self-esteem may prompt consumer innovativeness. We find two distinctive routes through individuation (need for uniqueness, NFU) and social network (social betweenness), each of which mediates the relationship between self-esteem and consumer innovativeness. A sample of 747 adolescents reveals that consumer innovativeness requires a balance between NFU and betweenness centrality, such that adolescents are both linked to diverse groups and ready to deviate from group norms to establish their difference. These findings help consolidate prior conceptual considerations of consumer innovativeness and empirical studies that focus on social networks of innovators. In addition, age and gender have moderating effects. With these results, industry actors can derive more efficient methods to identify adolescents who exhibit the personality trait of consumer innovativeness and also better understand their motives to innovate.

Title: Spinoffs and parents in clusters: evidence from the Italian motorcycle industry
Abstract: 
 In this paper, we study the relation between parenting events and the performance of firms. Using data from the Italian motorcycle industry (1893–1993), we find that parents have higher survival chances after generating a spinoff (i.e. parenting event), confirming results from previous studies about other manufacturing industries. We also show that the survival patterns of parent firms differ across space, and we link them to cluster characteristics: parenting events are associated to survival advantages in the clusters of Milan and the Motorvalley, and to survival disadvantages in the cluster of Turin. The paper contributes to the literature on spinoffs and employee mobility and adds to the debate on the role of clusters and their institutions in evolutionary economic geography, by highlighting the importance of contextual factors for the performance of parent firms.

Title: Knowledge sharing in inter-organisational teams: the role of the advice network and the substitutive role of the formal network in an R&D alliance
Abstract: 
 Innovation is about individuals collaborating to share existing knowledge and create new knowledge. Increasingly these collaborations cross organisational boundaries, like in R&D alliances. Many of these alliances are coopetitive, partners cooperate, but also compete with each other. Although knowledge sharing in coopetitive settings has been studied on the firm and the unit level, the micro (individual) level is underresearched. We consider individual alliance-related work performance of alliance members in a (moderately) coopetitive R&D alliance, drawing on social network theory and the organisational coordination perspective. We examine the influence of individual alliance members’ position and level of activity in the alliance advice network on their work performance. We also examine the substitutive role of the alliance formal network, representing the official channels of knowledge sharing. We suggest that individuals’ work performance is better explained by their position in the formal network, rather than in the advice network.

Title: Temporary organisations in the creation of dynamic capabilities: effects of temporariness on innovative capacity and strategic flexibility
Abstract: 
 The dynamic capabilities (DCs) of an organisation refer to its ability to integrate and renew existing competences as circumstances may change. Although research has considered various aspects of DCs and its effects, the antecedents of DCs are still not understood in its entirety. The study at hand seeks to analyse how the use of temporary forms of organising can generate two important DCs: innovative capacity and strategic flexibility. Temporary organisations (TOs), such as projects, are less bureaucratic and more flexible in comparison to permanent organisations and therefore can enhance DCs. Based on a sample of 500 German firms we show that temporariness has a direct and positive effect on both DCs. Furthermore, we find that TO efficiency positively moderates the relationship between temporariness and an organisation’s DCs. Our study contributes to research by providing first empirical evidence that temporary organisations are beneficial for the creation of DCs.

Title: Exposing three dark sides of social innovation through critical perspectives on resilience
Abstract: 
 In this essay we expose three dark sides of social innovation (SI) by mobilising the concept of resilience. We examine implications for SI from (1) resilience thinking, (2) (critical) resilience studies and (3) the exceptional contexts in which resilience is needed. The first dark side of SI is that SIs lead to disruptions likely to cause unintended adverse consequences. The second dark side is that top-down SIs tend to be deployed in the name of vulnerable communities, but in neoliberal ways mainly concerned in making these communities more productive for society, at the risk of heightening their marginalisation. The third dark side is that SI discourse lends itself too easily to hijackings by powerful actors driving their own interests of capital accumulation while calling for communities to self-organise. We discuss how critical perspectives on resilience help us challenge these dark sides of SI.

Title: The noxious consequences of innovation: what do we know?
Abstract: 
 In spite of being considered an undisputed engine of growth, innovation can have noxious consequences for society and the environment. Using bibliometric techniques (i.e. bibliographic coupling and co-citation analysis), we conduct a review of the extant research on the noxious impacts of innovation. Although this is a relatively recent field of enquiry, we identified five strands of scholarly research, which, based on their focus, we have labelled: (A) Work-related consequences of technology acceptance; (B) Unsustainable transitions; (C) Innovation and growth downside effects; (D) The dangers of emerging technologies and (E) Open innovation’s dark side. We discuss the core ideas and research agendas in these research strands and the intellectual antecedents of each sub-community, and conclude by suggesting avenues for future research.

Title: The dark side of the industrialisation of accountancy: innovation, commoditization, colonization and competitiveness
Abstract: 
 Technological innovation continues to play a fundamental role in disrupting many industries, but the impacts of digital innovation on accountancy and its effect on firms and individuals remain somewhat overlooked. Nevertheless, technological innovation is transforming accountancy work and business models as firms react to competition and regulatory restrictions. The analysis of sixty semi-structured interviews with UK accounting firms reveals how the adoption of new technology and alterations in regulations impacts on accounting practices. In turn, this research raises questions about the nature of professional occupations, the deskilling of accountancy and colonization of new service areas, challenging the extant conceptualisation of knowledge-intensive services.

Title: The dark side of the sun: solar e-waste and environmental upgrading in the off-grid solar PV value chain
Abstract: 
 The expected increase in the disposal of off-grid solar e-waste (SEW) in the Global South is potentially the dark side of a promising innovation. We suggest placing research aimed at identifying appropriate schemes for the collection and recycling of SEW within a conceptual framework that builds on the literature on environmental upgrading in global value chains (GVC). We advance the GVC literature by incorporating complementary insights from social anthropology and life-cycle assessments, which will enable end-user behaviour and waste disposal to be integrated into the GVC framework. It is shown how the conceptual framework could be applied in Kenya as an example of a regional hot spot for solar e-waste. We suggest three separate research areas that would ideally be combined as a coherent and programmatic approach to ensure the provision of solid inputs informing national SEW policies and systems of regulation.

Title: The grey zones of technological innovation: negative unintended consequences as a counterbalance to novelty
Abstract: 
 The purpose of this article is to better understand the challenges of avoiding the dark side of technological innovation. Specifically, we analyse 10 public investigations started as a reaction to a major crisis in regenerative medicine at the Karolinska Institute, Sweden, associated with the clinician-scientist Paolo Macchiarini. We interpret the reaction as an attempt to restore the balance between the stimulation and regulation of technological innovation processes by clarifying ambiguities in the regulation at the interface between research and practice. We conceptualise these ambiguities as grey zones – situations when it is unclear if the benefits of experimentation outweigh its risks – and propose that grey zones are continually created and resolved as actors in innovation governance systems counterbalance the generation of novelty and the risk of negative unintended consequences.

Title: Editorial: the dark side of innovation
Abstract: 
 We provide a broad discussion of the dark side of innovation, before introducing the papers of the special issue. We start with a critical reply to optimists, complementing the list of indicators showing steady human progress with a list of indicators that show sustained deterioration (largely due to innovation). We then outline some relevant dimensions of harmful innovation, before distinguishing between the types of harm brought on by innovation. We conclude with an overview of the SI papers.

Title: Innovation and exporting: the case of mediation effects in Sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract: 
 This study investigates the mechanisms accounting for the two-way relationship between innovation and exporting in sub-Saharan Africa. We hypothesise that the relation between innovation and subsequent exporting is mediated by market investment. We also hypothesise that customer feedback mediates the relation between exporting and subsequent innovation. We test these hypotheses using repeated cross-sectional data from the 2006/07 and 2013 World Bank Enterprise Surveys. We also use data from the 2013 Innovation Follow-up survey. We indeed find that market investment mediates the effect of innovation on subsequent exporting and that customer feedback mediates the effect of exporting on subsequent innovation. We conclude that innovation policies aimed at fostering novel product innovation may be important for creating a new market space on the export market. Furthermore, investment in information and communications technology infrastructure is likely to enhance faster response to market needs.

Title: Mobile money, inclusive finance and enterprise innovativeness: an analysis of East African nations
Abstract: 
 This study explores the relationship between firms’ adoption of mobile money services and their innovativeness in the East African countries of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. We argue that the use of mobile money by firms in these countries has had a positive indirect impact on their innovativeness by reducing the credit constraints they face. Using data available from the World Bank Enterprise Surveys, we adopt a sequential modelling approach, first estimating the impact of mobile money use on credit constraints and then estimating the impact of credit constraints on binary indicators of product, process and organisational innovation. Innovation is shown to depend on whether or not the firm is credit constrained, and the probability of being credit constrained is shown to depend on the choices made about the use of mobile money. We find that the indirect impact of mobile money on innovation performance is greater for small firms than for medium or large firms.

Title: Towards a stage model of regional industrial path transformation
Abstract: 
 The recent debate on innovation-based structural change in Evolutionary Economic Geography is characterised by a strong focus on the rise of new industrial paths. This paper seeks to shift attention and cast light on radical innovation activities occurring within existing paths without necessarily leading to their dissolution. Departing from a systemic perspective of path development we propose a stage model of path transformation. We outline how radical change becomes initiated, reinforced and finally consolidated in established industrial paths. Particular attention is devoted to the ways in which actors – influenced by ‘the past’ and driven by visions and expectations (that is, ‘the future’) – exert agency to stimulate asset modification processes that are assumed to underpin path transformation and the reconfiguration of the wider support structures. The framework is applied to the analysis of the automotive industry in West Sweden, which is currently transforming towards the development of self-driving cars.

Title: One or all channels for knowledge exchange in clusters? Collaboration, monitoring and recruitment networks in the subsea industry in Rogaland, Norway
Abstract: 
 Existing research has emphasised various mechanisms for knowledge exchange in industry clusters, including inter-firm collaboration, labour mobility, and monitoring of other firms. However, these mechanisms are normally studied in isolation, and we know little about how they interrelate. This paper examines which firms collaborate within a cluster. We ask whether knowledge exchanges through other channels, specifically monitoring and labour mobility, are positively or negatively associated with collaboration. We use data from interviews with 30 firms in the subsea sector in Rogaland, Norway, representing nearly the entire population of the cluster, to examine the association between the different forms of linkages. The results from Social Network Analysis reveal an overall high degree of knowledge exchange among the organisations making up the subsea cluster. Furthermore, using Quadratic Assignment Procedure (QAP) regression analysis, we find that collaborative linkages are significantly more likely to exist between firms which share recruitment and/or monitoring linkages.

Title: Asbestos, leaded petrol, and other aberrations: comparing countries’ regulatory responses to disapproved products and technologies
Abstract: 
 Industrial innovation churns out increasingly unnatural products and technologies amid scientific uncertainty about their harmful effects. We argue that a quick regulatory response to the discovery that certain innovations are harmful is an important indicator for evaluating the performance of an innovation system. Using a unique hand-collected dataset, we explore the temporal geography of regulatory responses as evidenced by the years in which countries introduce bans against leaded petrol, asbestos, DDT, smoking in public places, and plastic bags, as well as introducing the driver’s seatbelt obligation. We find inconsistent regulatory responses by countries across different threats, and that countries’ level of economic development is often not a good predictor of early bans. Moreover, an early introduction of one ban is not strongly related to the relative performance in regard to another ban, which raises possible questions about the coherence of regulatory responses across different threats.

Title: The impact of the abolishment of the professor’s privilege on European university-owned patents
Abstract: 
 Intellectual property regimes governing university inventions were quite diverse in Europe at the end of the 1990s. Several European countries maintained the so-called professor’s privilege, an exception to employment law whereby university researchers were allowed to retain the ownership of academic inventions. The 2000s were characterised by convergence towards a more homogeneous system, in which university administrations took control of IP management. We investigate the impact of the reform and we observe a decline in the technological importance and the value of the patents owned and managed by universities in the countries abolishing the professor’s privilege. On the contrary, by differentiating the academic patents by type of ownership, we find that the technological importance of academic patents owned by companies has instead increased. Our study produces some new results that may alert policymakers to the possible unintended consequences of the university ownership model.

Title: A burden of knowledge creation in academic research: evidence from publication data
Abstract: 
 Academic research is vital for innovation and industrial growth. However, a potential burden of processing ever more knowledge could be affecting research output and researchers’ careers. We look at a dataset of researchers who have published in journals in the field of economics during a period of 45 years. For a subset of these researchers, we amass data from journals listed in the EconLit database, supplemented with years of birth from public sources. Our results show an increase in the age of researchers at their first publication, in the number of articles referenced in debut articles, and in the number of co-authors. Simultaneously, we observe a decline in the probability of researchers changing research fields. Our findings extend earlier findings on patents and hint at a burden of knowledge pervading different areas of human progress. Moreover, our results indicate that researchers develop strategies of specialisation to deal with this challenge.

Title: How the university ecosystem shapes the innovation capacities of undergraduate students – evidence from Germany
Abstract: 
 In society, universities should fulfil their so-called ‘third mission’ concerning knowledge and technology transfer. However, our knowledge on the impact of the university ecosystem on students’ innovative output is still scarce. Our study sheds light on the question whether the university ecosystem stimulates students’ innovation capacities or whether innovators are mainly determined by personality traits or family background. The results of our two rounds of surveys, with a total of 345 students of a technical university in Germany, reveal that factors such as functional experiences (e.g. resources and physical spaces within the university) and connecting experiences (e.g. practical application of skills learned during courses) have a significant impact on students’ innovation capacities.

Title: Transformative change in higher education: entrepreneurial universities and high-technology entrepreneurship
Abstract: 
 Public policies focusing on the higher education landscape often pursue a paradigm shift among universities that may ultimately lead to the transformation towards entrepreneurial universities. The purpose of this paper is to examine whether a higher education policy-induced transformation significantly influenced regional high-technology entrepreneurship. We thereby focus on the German Excellence Initiative, a higher education policy intervention designed to foster and support the transformative change of German universities towards an entrepreneurial paradigm. Our results reveal that the German Excellence Initiative had a positive and significant impact on regional high-technology entrepreneurship. Our results further show that the higher the interaction with industry, the more conducive universities become for regional high-technology entrepreneurship. In addition, universities’ overarching scientific focus decisively affects regional high-technology entrepreneurship. Based on our results, we conclude our paper by outlining implications for policy makers, high-technology entrepreneurs and university managers as well as present future avenues for research.

Title: Looking inside the determinants and the effects of entrepreneurial innovation projects in an emerging economy
Abstract: 
 Ongoing research agendas regarding the intersection between entrepreneurship and innovation in academia still demand analysis about the antecedents/consequences of enterprise-university collaborations. On the one hand, little is known about how enterprise-university collaborations manage their resources/capabilities to develop entrepreneurial innovation projects, as well as how do enterprises-university collaborations capture economic benefits. On the other hand, regarding the context, there is also a gap concerning the effect of institutional voids on entrepreneurship/innovation strategies in emerging economies. This paper analyses the determinants and the consequences of entrepreneurial innovation projects within enterprise-university collaborations in an emerging economy. By using a sample of 514 Mexican enterprises, our proposed framework offers insights into the remarkable effect in the transformation of enterprises-universities’ capabilities and state funds into the generation of economic value from entrepreneurial innovation projects. This paper contributes to the thought-provoking discussion about a future research agenda and implications for triple-helix actors in emerging economies.

Title: Organisational mission and the involvement of academic research units in knowledge sharing with private companies
Abstract: 
 We still do not have a full understanding of how the different missions of academic organisations relate to their performance in knowledge sharing. This paper addresses this gap with a data set of more than 900 Swiss academic institutions and distinguishes between mechanisms of knowledge sharing, different levels and types of missions, and the strength of isomorphic processes. We find that the missions of organisations and fields are more important than the missions of institutes for knowledge exchange through commercialisation and teaching. The opposite is true for industrial PhD students, a research-based mechanism of knowledge exchange. Coercive and mimetic isomorphic processes in organisations and normative isomorphic processes in research areas have different effects: since commercialisation of knowledge is not the main activity in any discipline, low normative isomorphism leaves more freedom for institutes to decide how and by which mechanisms they share knowledge, which correlates positively with commercialisation performance.

Title: PhD trained employees and firms’ transitions to upstream R&D activities
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates the relationship between firms’ transition towards upstream-R&D activities and the availability of R&D employees with PhD training. Doctoral trained employees have distinct motivations for research: some have stronger preferences for intellectual freedom and autonomy, while others reveal greater aspirations for targeted research and opportunities for development of new products and processes. These contrasting profiles among PhD trained employees lead to ambiguous predictions about whether a greater presence of employees with a doctoral training enhances the capacity of firms to initiate upstream-oriented R&D. We examine this question by studying a large sample of Spanish manufacturing firms which are active in development activities, and investigate the effect of PhD trained R&D employees on the propensity of firms to initiate upstream-oriented R&D. Our results show that a higher proportion of PhDs in R&D functions has a positive and significant influence on the firm’s initiation of an upstream-oriented R&D strategy.

Title: Efficiency of university–industry collaboration and its determinants: evidence from Chinese leading universities
Abstract: 
 This paper applies the two-stage double bootstrap DEA to evaluate the university–industry (U–I) collaboration efficiency of 71 Chinese universities. In the first stage, we evaluate unbiased efficiency scores by using the bootstrap DEA method. Results show that the U–I collaboration efficiency of leading universities has fluctuated slightly from 2007 to 2015. In the second stage, we perform truncated regressions to explore underlying determinants of estimated efficiency. We found that the U–I collaboration efficiency is determined by a university’s characteristics, scientific research fund from the government, and regional economic status. We also found heterogeneous effects across samples.

Title: Academic entrepreneurship and the research productivity in Poland
Abstract: 
 Is it possible to reconcile academic entrepreneurship with the internationalisation of scientists’ productivity? We provide an answer to this question through the statistical analysis of a representative survey of 811 scientists in Poland. Based on Robert K. Merton’s distinction between two types of scholars: local (oriented towards the national science system) and cosmopolitan (aiming at international achievements), we found that research productivity positively influences academic entrepreneurship, but that scientists who are productive locally engage in academic entrepreneurship more often than the cosmopolitan ones. This suggests that the internationalisation of one’s scientific activity, at least in countries transitioning from a local to a cosmopolitan mode of research, is an absorbing endeavour that only the most productive researchers can reconcile with academic entrepreneurship. Such countries should balance their policies regarding the career development of their scientists also to include the promotion of science-business cooperation and not just the internationalisation of research.

Title: Efficiency of regional higher education systems and regional economic short-run growth: empirical evidence from Russia
Abstract: 
 This paper analyses the link between the efficiency of regional higher education systems and the rates of regional economic development between 2012 and 2015 in Russia. The efficiency scores are calculated at the institutional level using Two-stage Semi-parametric data envelopment analysis. Then, the scores are aggregated at the regional level. We formulate an economic growth model that considers the efficiency of regional higher education systems as one of the explanatory variables. As an econometric method, we employ a robust GMM estimator. The findings highlight a positive, and statistically significant effect of higher education institutions efficiency on the regional economic growth. We also found negative spillover effects.

Title: Exploring regional innovation ecosystems: an empirical study in China
Abstract: 
 This paper explores the regional innovation ecosystem (RIE) in an effort to fully understand its static and dynamic nature. We investigate how organisations coevolve within an ecosystem and how it affects their ecosystems. Based on a longitudinal, qualitative in-depth case study analysis of the three most representative Chinese RIEs, we empirically explore and validate a 4C framework. The framework includes construct, cooperation, configuration and capability and offers insights into 1) a better redistribution of roles and coordination of ecosystem resources, 2) delivering a better understanding of the dynamic and co-evolution nature of ecosystem development and 3) inspiring the practitioners to further explore their complementary partners. The key findings suggest importance of within- and inter-RIE complementarity-based collaboration, which – with appropriate and well-informed governmental support – can significantly boost the national innovation system.

Title: The evolution of knowledge-intensive innovation ecosystems: co-evolving entrepreneurial activity and innovation policy in the West Swedish maritime system
Abstract: 
 This paper contributes insights into the debate concerning the emergence of innovation ecosystems. More specifically, we propose a knowledge-intensive innovation ecosystem. Building on prior research on collective action, innovation governance, and knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship, we elaborate on existing theory by presenting a conceptual framework to articulate why ecosystems require the combination of top-down exploration of policy alternatives by policymakers, together with bottom-up knowledge-intensive entrepreneurial activity in order to progress towards sustainable development. Through our case study of the Maritime Cluster of West Sweden, we propose that sustained incentives for knowledge-intensive innovative entrepreneurship, along with more experimentation and new forms of collaboration by policymakers in the Maritime Cluster, are needed in order for progress towards innovation-led sustainable development to occur.

Title: Local innovation ecosystem: structure and impact on adaptive capacity of firms
Abstract: 
 Focusing on the Local Innovation Ecosystem in Hauts-de-France region (France), the aim of this paper is to analyse how the ecosystems affect firm’s adaptive capacity. First, we show these local innovation ecosystems are based on Innovation Parks. They promote knowledge development and innovation processes by bringing together heterogeneous agents such as research laboratories, technological structures, finance organisations, brokers, start-ups, and companies within a complex interacting and strategic context. Second, we use econometric models to test the impact of these local innovation ecosystems on the innovativeness and technological diversity of firms viewed as components of adaptive capacity. Our results show that firms belonging to local innovation ecosystems centred on innovation parks are both more innovative and more technologically diversified than others. Our study suggests further empirical research in order to specify links between the most relevant characteristics of the innovation ecosystem and the firm’s adaptive capacity.

Title: Aligning the design of intermediary organisations with the ecosystem
Abstract: 
 Intermediary organisations such as technology transfer organisations (TTOs) are an important mechanism of open ecosystem governance, as they support how ecosystem participants search for knowledge. While scholars have identified TTO activities to support knowledge search, little is known about how these activities relate to the structural dimensions of TTOs or ecosystem-level factors. We propose that ecosystem search scope and problem complexity are key ecosystem-level factors that influence how TTOs support knowledge search. We further argue that coupling, specialisation, centralisation, and formalisation are the key structural dimensions of TTOs. We combine these arguments to develop TTO designs that detail the interplay of the structural dimensions and activities of a TTO given varying ecosystem-level factors. Our paper contributes to research on the open governance of ecosystems, ecosystem structures, and the ecosystem structure–intermediary organisations relation.

Title: Entrepreneurship, complexity and the emergent order in the techno-economic scenario of the twenty-first century. Evidence from a field study in Tuscany
Abstract: 
 This paper analyses entrepreneurship adopting the concept of ‘emergence’, defined in the literature on entrepreneurship and complexity, as the creation of a new order, arising from the interactions between its elements. We hypothesise that the recent evolution of (and interaction between) i) entrepreneurial figures and their functions, (ii) firms’ structures and strategies and (iii) external environment has defined a set of properties, characteristic of a new emergent entrepreneurial order. A case study conducted on 24 entrepreneurs based on a traditional manufacturing region is used to support the theoretical building process and demonstrate the phenomenon beyond the Silicon Valley storytelling. The results categorise the entrepreneurial properties around three spheres (Cognition, Coordination, Cooperation) and explain (in the discussion part) their dynamic generative process, underlining the necessity to embrace a holistic unit of analysis, to fully understand the entrepreneurial emergent order. Finally, some implications for managerial models and policy strategies are proposed.

Title: Disentangling regional innovation capability: what really matters?
Abstract: 
 Where does innovation come from? And do all regions innovate similarly? We deal with these questions by highlighting the complexity of the concepts of innovation capability and performance, and by testing their association at the European Union regional level. We disentangle inputs of innovation capability, and consider regional heterogeneity in institutional quality, to understand the relative endowment of what innovation inputs is associated with higher relative innovation performance. We find that ‘formal’ inputs – public and business R&D expenditure – do not work unconditionally and everywhere, and that less ‘formal’ ones – e.g., non-R&D expenditure and firms collaborating for innovation – matter particularly in regions with relative low-quality institutions. Moreover, institutional quality emerges as an innovation productivity-enhancing factor.

Title: Foreign vs. domestic multinationals in R&D linkage strategies
Abstract: 
 This paper examines how foreign multinationals (FMN) and domestic multinationals (DMN) differ in R&D outsourcing and cooperation. We argue that the propensity of DMN and FMN to create such R&D linkages reflects their specific balance between advantages and challenges of multinationality. On the one hand, both FMN and DMN rely on a combination of home-base advantages and learning capacities, which positively affect their R&D linkages with national and international counterparts. On the other hand, the costs and risks associated with unfamiliar contexts reduce the propensity of FMN to create R&D linkages with local counterparts; while they will not penalise DMN, which do not suffer any liability of foreignness when dealing with local counterparts in their country of origin. This interpretive framework is tested using data on R&D investors active in Italy over 2003–2010, controlling for firms’ internal R&D efforts, internationalisation, age and regional distribution of R&D.

Title: Learning from invention failure among research organizations: the role of top management team founding experiences and exposure to US culture
Abstract: 
 Building on organisational failure learning and upper echelons theory, we examine the link between top management team (TMT) prior experiences and invention failure learning among research organisations. Specifically, we develop theoretical arguments to suggest that TMT founding experience and exposure to US culture facilitate organisational learning from failure. We test our theoretical reasoning using a longitudinal data set comprising 550 organisation-year observations of the patenting activities conducted by 39 research institutes in Germany. In support of our theoretical arguments, we find that TMT founding experience and TMT exposure to US culture positively moderate the link between prior invention failure and subsequent invention performance. Pointing to TMT experiences as a crucial contingency for whether organisations learn from failure, the present study contributes to the literature on organisational failure learning and upper echelons.

Title: Inventor mobility and productivity: a long-run perspective
Abstract: 
 The aim of this paper is to explore the influence of mobility on inventor productivity. Unlike most previous literature in this field, we separate the impact of firm mobility from geographical mobility. Our paper is also novel because of the long period of investigation. We report how the different forms of mobility, and their impacts, have changed over the period 1836–1975 using US patent data. Mobility is identified for serial inventors who change assignee and/or location over time. Firm mobility and geographical mobility increase throughout the period examined, with only temporary reversals around the Great Depression and Second World War. Comparisons across matched samples of mobile and immobile inventors reveal that firm mobility and spatial mobility raise the patent productivity of inventors, the former having the largest impact. Inventor productivity increases for up to 15 years following a mobility event, suggesting a process of adjustment after a move.

Title: Subsidising innovation over the business cycle
Abstract: 
 We investigate whether the impact of direct support for business investment in R&D and innovation varies over the business cycle. We study whether firms that obtain public support in a recession differ from firms that obtain it during expansions; whether the impact of support is smaller in recessions than in expansions, and whether effects vary with the treatment pattern. Using firm-level data from Spain during the period 2005 to 2014, we combine propensity score matching and difference-in-differences methods to estimate firms’ response. We find that (i) while the impact of support on monetary investment in innovation is pro-cyclical, it is counter-cyclical in terms of the employee-time allocation to innovation activities; (ii) the additionality of a one-year treatment is smaller than that of a longer treatment. Direct public support may have thus prevented a decline of the firms’ knowledge capital during the recession.

Title: The role of proximity relations in the integration process into the network: an analysis of CEOs’ life narratives
Abstract: 
 This article looks at the collaboration relations of CEOs during different phases of the integration process into a network by using various proximity dimensions. Based on the life narratives of 21 CEO members belonging to a regional network, our study underlines that three integration phases exist, within which different proximity forms are mobilised. Whereas, institutional, personal and social proximities are significant during the entry phase, temporary geographical and cognitive proximities appear to be essential for building collaboration. Moreover, if social and personal dimensions play essential roles in starting collaborations, we note that social proximity remains less decisive for joint collaborative projects. These results enrich recent debates about the dimensions of proximity. They open lines of thinking about ways to encourage the integration of new members.

Title: The leading role of support organisations in cluster networks of developing countries
Abstract: 
 Previous literature on innovation in developing countries has studied the relevance of public policies and support organisations, which can compensate for the weaknesses of local innovation networks. However, from a social network approach, this issue remains understudied. Aiming to fill this gap, this paper analyses the role of support organisations in four cluster networks of Uruguay. Using data from interviews with managing directors of 265 firms and combining social network analysis with logistic regression techniques, the paper shows that organisations play two fundamental roles. First, they contribute to the overall architecture of collaborations, occupying strategic positions that keep networks connected. Second, they encourage innovation in the firms they collaborate with. In this regard, findings indicate that collaborating with different types of organisations influences firms’ innovation differently. These results have several policy implications regarding the design of cluster policies and organisational frameworks in developing countries.

Title: Structure and resilience of local knowledge networks: the case of the ICT network in Trentino
Abstract: 
 Literature on regional innovation systems (RIS) points to the importance of the knowledge network inside the RIS. Empirics have shown the importance of certain pivotal actors for the RIS, however, their identification differs from case to case due to the different embeddedness of the actors to the knowledge network. This paper traces these influential actors for the Trentino information and communication technologies (ICT) innovation system, by analysing its knowledge network, for understanding their contribution to the resilience of the network. The local knowledge network is developed around a tightly knit core of key actors, whose malfunction would raise several issues for knowledge management and funding.

Title: Knowledge exchange and innovation in clusters: a dynamic social network analysis
Abstract: 
 Innovation is deeply rooted in clusters and is strongly related to knowledge exchanges. In literature, scholars have started suggesting that innovation rates are expected to be higher in dynamic networks, where there is variation in roles and knowledge exchanges. This paper contributes to this debate by studying the correlation between knowledge exchange and innovation at the cluster level, with a dynamic view. Using dynamic social network analysis as a methodological approach and the literature on Collaborative Innovation Networks (COINs) and knowledge exchanges as the theoretical framework, we investigated how varying over time cluster members’ leadership role and contribution in the flow of knowledge benefit cluster-level innovation. We relied on data collected from a collaborative cluster-based platform, focusing on technological knowledge exchanges. Our findings indicate that there is a strong positive correlation between rotating leadership and innovation as well as between rotating contribution and innovation.

Title: Cast apart by the elites: how status influences assortative matching in industrial clusters
Abstract: 
 In this article we investigate how status considerations influence inter-firm knowledge transfer in industrial clusters. Using evidence of a highly dynamic wine cluster and network analysis methods of Stochastic Actor-Oriented Modelling, we find that status considerations drive assortative matching in the formation of ties within a cluster. This means that low-status firms are cast from the ‘circles that count’, while high-status firms are likely to interact with similar others. Far from being an equal space of knowledge sharing, some clusters may instead be spaces of social hierarchies and elitist ties.

Title: Explaining the past, predicting the future: the influence of regional trajectories on innovation networks of new industries in emerging economies
Abstract: 
 Economic geographers have recently made important contributions to understanding of the relationship between regional transformation, industrial specialisation and innovation networks in the emergence of new industries. However, most contemporary research has focused on the influence of networks on regional trajectories, paying lip service to how regional trajectories also influence network configurations. Furthermore, international comparative research on how specific regional innovation system (RIS) trajectories may shape innovation networks in new industrial sectors is underdeveloped.The paper investigates how the trajectories of Bangalore and Beijing RISs influence the objectives and geographical configuration of innovation networks in the new media industry. The co-evolution of different elements of the RIS trajectory points to the unfolding of a politically and institutionally driven trajectory in Beijing, and a cognitively driven trajectory in Bangalore. These trajectories lead to specific barriers and opportunities for the development of innovation networks in new industries.

Title: Spill over or Spill out? – A multilevel analysis of the cluster and firm performance relationship
Abstract: 
 Regional clusters have become an inseparable component of modern economies. Spurred by the idea that clusters unrestrictedly encourage firm innovativeness, the cluster approach has particularly gained attention among politicians. Nevertheless, due to a lack of holistic consideration of different influencing variables, the scientific results about the effect of clusters on firm innovative performance are highly contradictive. Consequently, this paper aims to empirically investigate the conditions through which companies can gain from being located in clusters, focussing thereby particularly on moderating variables that relate to possible knowledge spillovers. Therefore, three different levels of analysis are considered separately and interactively. By analysing a unique multilevel dataset of 11.889 companies in Germany evidence is found that being located in a cluster has a positive impact on firm innovativeness. However, the results also indicate that firms benefit unequally within the cluster environment, depending on the specific firm, cluster and market/industry conditions.

Title: Market orientation and innovation behaviour: how do service employees benefit from their uniplex and multiplex intrafirm network centrality?
Abstract: 
 Intrafirm networks enable service employees to transform market orientation behaviours into innovation behaviours. Few studies, however, have investigated how network centrality in intrafirm networks can moderate this relationship. This paper investigates how service employees can leverage their intrafirm network popularity in three types of social networks: advice, friendship, and multiplex networks. The findings of a multi-source, multilevel study among 1175 service employees embedded in 60 firms demonstrate the important role of multiplex-network centrality. Employees who have a central position in multiplex networks (with overlapping friendship and advice ties) can tap into the complementarity of the assets rooted in friendship and advice networks, allowing them to more effectively convert market orientation into innovation behaviours. Our study demonstrates the importance of investigating multiplex relationships next to uniplex relationships in order to better understand the relative effects of different network types. Direct implications are given to encourage employees’ MO and innovation efforts.

Title: The timing of diversification and startup firms’ survival: a resource-based perspective
Abstract: 
 The study investigates the determinants of first-time diversification activities undertaken by about 3,000 startups in the United States. Drawing on the resource-based view, we examine the impact of resource endowment on the timing of diversification. We further examine the effect of the timing of diversification on the likelihood of firm survival and then test for persistence. The analysis offers three main insights. First, resources play a crucial role in early diversification. Second, early diversification reduces the hazard of exit from the market. Third, the positive impact of early diversification on survival attenuates after five to six years. Our study contributes to the literature on the resource-based view and firm survival. The findings have important implications for entrepreneurs, policymakers, and entrepreneurship scholars.

Title: Location determinants of high-tech firms: an intra-urban approach
Abstract: 
 This paper analyses location determinants of high-tech firms at the intra-urban level, concretely for neighbourhoods of Barcelona. Mercantile Register data is used to analyse the location of 515 firms between 2011 and 2013 through count data estimations. The identification of the location patterns, followed by a typology of the firms, and the role played by neighbourhood characteristics in attracting them, constitutes a contribution to the empirical literature. Our results help in understanding the entry processes within cities and show that i) there are certain specificities at industry level, ii) that both amenities and economic-oriented neighbourhood characteristics matter, and iii) that spatial spillovers are relevant for some high-tech industries.

Title: From business ecosystems to ecosystems of innovation: the case of the video game industry in Montréal
Abstract: 
 The concept of ecosystem plays a central role in the recent debates on the unfolding of a new regime of innovation. In this paper, we contribute to these debates by clarifying the distinction between the emerging concept of ‘ecosystem of innovation’ from the established concept of ‘business ecosystems.’ Re-interpreting the case of the historical developments of the video game cluster of Montreal, we argue that the dynamics of knowledge creation and innovation in ‘ecosystems of innovation’ imply to adopt a wider scope and address knowledge flows between a diverse set of business ecosystems and between a business ecosystem and less formalised spaces dedicated to knowledge creation and exploration. We conclude suggesting the complementarity of ‘ecosystems of innovation’ with ‘business ecosystems’ and their generativity fuelled by creative tensions between formal and informal loci of knowledge creation, illustrated by diverse talent trajectories.

Title: Skill endowment, routinisation and digital technologies: evidence from U.S. Metropolitan Areas
Abstract: 
 Scholars and policy makers frame the debate on labour market polarisation by emphasising the role of key drivers such as international trade and of technological change. The present paper explores these themes from a different perspective and inquires whether de-routinisation has harmed local innovation capacity. Our empirical study builds on the literature on learning-by-doing and incremental innovation and focuses on advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) in US Metropolitan Statistical Areas over the period 1990–2012. Results provide support to the hypothesis that de-routinisation is associated with a generalised decline of local innovation performance, particularly in AMTs.

Title: Character trait, context or… create! Innovative practices among creative entrepreneurs
Abstract: 
 The creative industries are often considered an important engine of innovation; in the creative sectors, but more importantly, also in the general economy. Yet, contrary to most of the knowledge industries, the creative industries are not thought to pursue innovation as a purposeful effort. This raises the question, that if innovation tends to happen unintentionally, which factors contribute to its nascence? Building upon a qualitative analysis of 43 interviews with entrepreneurs in the creative industries, this paper aims to obtain a better understanding of such creative industries innovation by studying how these entrepreneurs become (in their own perception) more innovative. Our findings show that entrepreneurs in the creative industries perceive their innovativeness to be caused by: (1) their own innovative traits and creativity, (2) external spatial, social, knowledge and work contexts stimulating an innovative state of mind, and (3) by means of serendipity, experimentation and inspiration found in creative practices.

Title: Is corporate R&D simply a matter of money? The combined effect of a firm’s economic characteristics and its perception of science
Abstract: 
 This research considers the hypothesis that firms’ propensity to engage in R&D is linked both to their economic and structural characteristics and to variables related to their perception of science, their appraisal of the benefits and risks of investing in R&D, and their attitude towards the role science plays within the firm. Research is based on the results of the survey ‘Scientific culture, perception and attitudes towards science and innovation in the business sector’, administered to a representative sample of Spanish companies. The results obtained through logistic regression evidence that together with firms’ economic and financial characteristics, which have traditionally been considered crucial factors for engaging in R&D, firms’ perception of science is also a major factor when analysing the way in which they address these processes. There are, indeed, subjective and cultural factors, besides those issues of an economic nature, which may motivate or mitigate firms’ R&D engagement.

Title: The relationship between profit-sharing schemes and R&D activities: evidence from German firm-level data
Abstract: 
 We study the determinants of the use of profit sharing schemes (PSS) by private companies, exploiting a firm-level dataset for Germany. First, our results from static regression models replicate studies for the U.S. which report a positive correlation between R&D activity and PSS use. Similar to those studies, we find that a firm’s turnover is strongly associated with PSS use, whereas this does not hold for the age of a firm. Firms with an unionised or more qualified workforce are also associated with PSS use. By exploiting the panel structure of our data, we also provide a novel set of tests by means of dynamic models estimation. The analysis sheds light on the relation between R&D activity, past innovation and PSS use.

Title: On the sudden rise of Dutch science at the end of the nineteenth century: a core-periphery approach
Abstract: 
 This paper analyzes the remarkable success of Dutch scientists near the end of the nineteenth century, as exemplified by five Nobel laureates in the period 1901–1913. Some historians suggest that the key factor contributing to the sudden rise of Dutch science was the establishment of a new type of high school, called HBS, which generated unprecedented social mobility of middle-class pupils to Dutch universities. The HBS also provided a pathway for its science teachers to write a PhD thesis outside the walls of the university. Taking a core-periphery approach, we compare the effects of an HBS-background (periphery) and Royal Academy membership (core) on the recognition that Dutch professors. Consistent with core-periphery theory, we find that professors who taught at the HBS while writing their PhD – remote from university influences – made the most creative contributions to science, and also confirm that academy members were attributed more success than non-members.

Title: Do European firms obey the rules? Environmental innovativeness in light of institutional frameworks
Abstract: 
 In light of increasing ecological issues, the deployment of environmentally friendly technologies is of major importance. This paper examines how institutions can influence firm behaviour with respect to introducing environmental innovations. Based on institutional and innovation theory, we explore the relationship of institutional factors with two highly relevant and heterogeneous types of environmental innovation, namely: the reduction of material use (Ecomat) and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions (Ecoco). We utilise the 2008 and 2014 survey waves of the Community Innovation Survey (CIS). This allows us to explore two separate cross-sectional samples at different points of time. Each sample is drawn from twelve European Union countries, giving us a total of about 70,000 firms. We find that formal institutions more strongly influence Ecoco innovation, especially for the CIS 2014 sample. We find that informal institutions affect both innovation types similarly.

Title: The search for hypercompetition: evidence from a Nordic market study
Abstract: 
 Some scholars and practitioners argue that markets have become hypercompetitive, decreasing the opportunities for sustainable competitive advantage. We test for increasing competition in a panel of 266 Danish firms from 7 industries over the period 1980–2017. We find no support for the argument that the market across industries has become hypercompetitive over this period. The durability of abnormal business returns has remained stable. Dynamism only changed in the 1980s, and levels of munificence are also stable. We do, however, find a small decrease in the survival probability rate of firms over time. Our results lead us to caution against the use of hypercompetition as a universal label for the state of contemporary competition.

Title: Understanding the process of knowledge accumulation and entrepreneurial learning in startups
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates the process of how entrepreneurs learn. The study uses longitudinal data on about 5,000 startups and presents evidence that entrepreneurial learning happens rapidly in the initial years of setting up a business, before settling down to a steady-state phase. The data show that entrepreneurs assign a higher weight, around 30%, to market signals in early years and with time this weight declines to about 16% in the sixth year, when prior information gains more bearing in decision-making. Specifically, the study substantiates the claim of existing theories and argues that over time, entrepreneurs learn to maintain the delicate balance between prior learning and new information from the market. Furthermore, results also indicate the presence of learning heterogeneity across entrepreneurs, possibly explaining the need for diversity in assistance programmes to meet the requirements of startups.

Title: Peripheral visions: the film and television industry in Galway, Ireland
Abstract: 
 This paper attempts to blur the periphery versus centre binary by considering the emergence of a small, but vibrant, agglomeration of cultural industries in Galway, Ireland. Key agents in this story include postcolonial activists, Irish language supporters, Hollywood directors, and local politicians. This is an example of an industry agglomeration in a ‘peripheral’ setting and in the context of a threatened language. Language, culture and community are argued to be fundamental to the case and can be traced back to an underrepresented community finding a voice for itself. It is argued that studies of industry and innovation should not ignore small scale or peripheral cases; that being in the periphery can be an asset in terms of entrepreneurship, creative freedom and field formation; that periphery must be set in a relational framework; and that the medium of cultural production must be part of understanding industrial dynamics and innovation.

Title: The impact of product innovation announcements on firm value: evidence from the bio-pharmaceutical industry
Abstract: 
 We investigate the impact of product innovation announcements on firm value using an extensive data set of bio-pharmaceutical products. We find that two main effects shape observed firm value changes: a ‘probability effect’, which depends on how investors perceive the product’s likelihood of success, and a ‘portfolio effect’ that depends on the relative importance of a product within a company’s portfolio. We estimate product-specific success probabilities using various machine learning methods. The portfolio importance is measured by product and date-specific net present values. We find that market reactions increase in the portfolio importance of the product under development and diminish in its success probability. Our results aid corporations and investors in evaluating the financial consequences of innovation-related news.

Title: Keep it simple: external resource utilisation and incremental product innovation in resource-challenged South African manufacturing firms
Abstract: 
 This paper examines how firms in an emerging economy cope with resource challenges by implementing compensation strategies for incremental product innovations. The model is empirically tested using firm-level survey data from 497 South African manufacturing firms. Results show that higher diversity among a specific set of external knowledge sources is associated with a higher likelihood of incremental product innovation. Stronger embeddedness in non-domestic inter-organisational networks increases this likelihood as well. The positive effect of external knowledge diversity is more positive for higher levels of localised ties. Recommendations to enhance incremental product innovation concern the development of external relationships with domestic and international partners while limiting knowledge source diversity to a specific actor set. This paper shows that in an emerging economy firms have agency with which they can use contact learning leading to product innovations tailored to local market needs and opportunities.

Title: Does diversity make collaborative subsidies effective? ICT sector in Korea
Abstract: 
 Research and development (R&D) collaboration becomes essential as technology becomes more complex, and technological change occurs at an unprecedented rate in high-tech sectors such as information and communication technologies (ICT). However, no concrete evidence exists on the benefits of collaboration diversity in terms of government support. Therefore, this study investigates whether a firm’s innovation increases not only as R&D collaboration partners’ diversity increases but also as firms engage in cross-sectoral R&D collaboration. Government subsidies for ICT firms that collaborate with other firms and research institutions at the same time have significantly positive effects on firm performance. Interestingly, cross-sectoral collaborations increase innovation activity. The results suggest that firm innovation can be efficiently achieved through R&D partner diversity, and the R&D subsidy scheme needs to focus on collaboration with diverse R&D partners with different knowledge to generate innovative outcomes.

Title: What kinds of relatedness promote new firm formation? Evidence from Italy
Abstract: 
 An emerging stream of entrepreneurship studies is debating how knowledge composition influences the capacity of territories to give birth to new firms. This paper aims to study the dynamics linking new firm formation and relatedness. Some studies demonstrate that proximity between different but related sectors positively influences new firms formation. Others point out how the presence of unrelated sectors can have a more significant impact. This paper studies these dynamics across 27 individual industries, computing measures of external and internal relatedness for each sector in Italy, using data on new firm formation between 2012 and 2014. The results suggest the broadly positive impact of external relatedness on new firm formation when compared to the impact of internal relatedness. The sectoral study of the impact of relatedness on new business creation could increase policymakers’ awareness of the capacity of individual sectors to promote favourable path-creation trajectories at the micro-level.

Title: How industry projects can stimulate academic engagement: an experimental study among U.S. engineering professors
Abstract: 
 Technology transfer remains one of the key functions of universities, seen with the growing importance attached to interactions between them and industry partners. Relying on self-determination theory (SDT), we develop a framework comprising the core motivational factors inherent in the design of industry projects and individual determinants which influence a professor’s willingness to engage in industry interaction activities. Based on a conjoint experiment among 250 U.S. professors in engineering sciences, our findings suggest that motivational incentives shape a professor’s disposition towards industry interaction. We additionally provide further insight into how intrinsic motivational structures towards industry engagement are moderated by individual characteristics, including the short-term orientation of professors towards industry activities. Our results contribute to research on university-industry interactions by developing deeper insights into the motivational structures of individual researchers. We also provide practical insights for university administrators and industry managers.

Title: Crowds, citizens, and science: a multi-dimensional framework and agenda for future research
Abstract: 
 Research projects that actively involve ‘crowds’ or non-professional ‘citizen scientists’ are attracting growing attention. Such projects promise to increase scientific productivity while also connecting science with the general public. We make three contributions. First, we argue that the largely separate literatures on ‘Crowd Science’ and ‘Citizen Science’ investigate strongly overlapping sets of projects but take different disciplinary lenses. Closer integration can enrich research on Crowd and Citizen Science (CS). Second, we propose a framework to profile projects with respect to four types of crowd contributions: activities, knowledge, resources, and decisions. This framework also accommodates machines and algorithms, which increasingly complement or replace professional and non-professional researchers as a third actor. Finally, we outline a research agenda anchored on important underlying organisational challenges of CS projects. This agenda can advance our understanding of Crowd and Citizen Science, yield practical recommendations for project design, and contribute to the broader organisational literature.

Title: Open innovation in science: assessing the formation and function of SME-university collaborations through the proximity matrix
Abstract: 
 As university-industry collaboration is regarded as an important practice within the open innovation in Science (OIS) framework, this paper assesses the formation and function of these collaborations using the ‘proximity matrix’, evaluating similarities between actors through evaluating their closeness in terms of distance, network membership, knowledge base and working practices. Through presenting analysis of 22 in-depth interviews with SMEs, the findings outline that the process of SME-university collaboration is driven by the ability of the firms to both access (through social proximity) and understand (through technological and organisational proximity) their university partners. Furthermore, the results also suggest distinct roles for each proximity.

Title: How open is innovation research? – An empirical analysis of data sharing among innovation scholars
Abstract: 
 We investigate what fosters or inhibits data sharing behaviour in a sample of 173 innovation management researchers. Theoretically, we integrate resource-based arguments with social exchange considerations to juxtapose the trade-off between data as a proprietary resource for researchers and the benefits that reciprocity in academic relations may provide. Our empirical analysis reveals that the stronger scholars perceive the comparative advantage of non-public datasets, the lower the likelihood of data sharing. Expected communal benefits may increase the likelihood of data sharing, while negative perceptions of increased data scrutiny are consequential in inhibiting data sharing. Only institutional pressure may help to solve this conundrum; most respondents would therefore like to see journal policies that foster data sharing.

Title: The Open Innovation in Science research field: a collaborative conceptualisation approach
Abstract: 
 Openness and collaboration in scientific research are attracting increasing attention from scholars and practitioners alike. However, a common understanding of these phenomena is hindered by disciplinary boundaries and disconnected research streams. We link dispersed knowledge on Open Innovation, Open Science, and related concepts such as Responsible Research and Innovation by proposing a unifying Open Innovation in Science (OIS) Research Framework. This framework captures the antecedents, contingencies, and consequences of open and collaborative practices along the entire process of generating and disseminating scientific insights and translating them into innovation. Moreover, it elucidates individual-, team-, organisation-, field-, and society‐level factors shaping OIS practices. To conceptualise the framework, we employed a collaborative approach involving 47 scholars from multiple disciplines, highlighting both tensions and commonalities between existing approaches. The OIS Research Framework thus serves as a basis for future research, informs policy discussions, and provides guidance to scientists and practitioners.

Title: A strategic alignment framework for the entrepreneurial university
Abstract: 
 The Open Innovation in Science literature suggests university knowledge creation should be followed by knowledge dissemination to industry and the public. Although several entrepreneurial university models have been proposed in the literature explaining the role of knowledge production, extant studies generally assume that the elements required by and involved in university outbound innovation are automatically aligned. This conceptual piece introduces the corporate-inspired strategic alignment framework for entrepreneurial universities.In addition, this paper examines the strategic congruence among the individual, organisational and system levels and the functional congruence between knowledge and entrepreneurial capitals. It demonstrates how they can fulfil the increasingly complex role that they must play in science, industry, and society.

Title: The puzzle of sharing scientific data
Abstract: 
 Government funding entities have placed data sharing at the centre of scientific policy. While there is widespread consensus that scientific data sharing benefits scientific progress, there are significant barriers to its wider adoption. We seek a deeper understanding of how researchers from different fields share their data and the barriers and facilitators of such sharing. We draw upon the notions of epistemic cultures and collective action theory to consider the enablers and deterrents that scientists encounter when contributing to the collective good of data sharing. Our study employs a mixed-methods design by combining survey data collected in 2016 and 2018 with qualitative data from two case studies sampled within two scientific communities: high-energy physics and molecular biology. We describe how scientific communities with different epistemic cultures can employ modularity, time delay, and boundary organisations to overcome barriers to data sharing.

Title: How does basic research improve innovation performance in the world’s major pharmaceutical firms?
Abstract: 
 Employing a panel (1995–2015) of large R&D spending pharmaceutical firms, we investigate how internal basic research increases a firm’s innovative performance. We disentangle two mechanisms through which internal basic research affects technology development: (1) as strengthening of the firm’s absorptive capacity to build on externally conducted science, and (2) as a direct source of the firm’s innovation. We find that the positive relationship between internal basic research and innovation performance is significantly mediated by these two mechanisms, with the absorptive capacity mechanism relatively more important. The mediation relationships are more pronounced in recent years, with basic research as a direct source of innovation increasing in importance. This pattern is associated with a decline of corporate investments in basic research over time, and suggests that firms have adopted a more judicious and targeted approach to basic research aimed at getting more leverage out of a smaller commitment to basic research.

Title: Industrial land policy and economic complexity of Chinese Cities
Abstract: 
 Economies producing more complex products tend to be wealthier and grow more quickly. Therefore, a key issue for cities around the world is to develop new specialisations into more complex industries. In China, local governments tend to use urban land allocation as a tool to attract new firms from specific industries and promote industrial growth. However, relatively little is known about how this policy tool is related to the economic complexity of Chinese cities. Drawing upon the recent literature on the principle of relatedness and economic complexity, this paper investigates the relationship between industrial land policy (ILP) and the diversification of Chinese cities into more complex industries. The empirical results support our hypothesis that cities providing higher intensity of land subsidy are more likely to enter new industries and the more complex ones in particular.

Title: The evolution of niche: variety in knowledge networks in the global music industry
Abstract: 
 This paper examines the evolution of niches in creative industries, specifically the music industry. We conceptualise niche evolution as a manifestation of Schumpeterian disruption, and the music scene as a representation of a creative niche. Through mixed methods, we analyse niche evolution in collaboration networks over sixty years. We show that niche evolution exhibits recombination and reinforcement of new ideas, and propose that niche emergence and evolution in the music industry can be categorised as following three different pathways: seed fragmentation networks with early recombination and intermediate-stage reinforcement, often resulting from break-ups of highly influential bands; creative horizontal networks with intermediate-stage recombination and reinforcement, consisting of tightly knit communities with delayed commercial breakthroughs; and artist experimentation networks with late recombination and reinforcement, consisting of small niches of sub-genre innovations. This paper opens up new research directions for niche evolution, which can advance understanding of knowledge-intensive innovation ecosystems in other sectors.

Title: The employment implications of additive manufacturing
Abstract: 
 In spite of the fast spread of Additive Manufacturing (AM) in several countries and industries, its impact on employment is still unexplored and theoretically ambiguous. On the one hand, higher product customisation and shorter time-to-market entail an expansion of the market, thus fostering labour demand; on the other hand, AM profoundly changes the way goods are produced and little evidence exists regarding the complementarity or substitutability between AM technologies and labour.In this article, we contribute to fill this gap. We estimate labour demand functions augmented with a (patent-based) proxy of AM-related innovation in 31 OECD countries, across 21 manufacturing industries, over the 2009–2017 period. Our econometric findings show an overall positive relationship between AM technologies and employment at the industry level, due to both market expansion and complementarity between labour and AM technologies, while no labour-saving effect emerges. The importance of each mechanism, however, is heterogeneous across sectors.

Title: Public R&D funding and new regional specialisations: The contingent role of technological relatedness​
Abstract: 
 It is widely acknowledged that new technological specialisations of regions are to a large extent driven by the recombination of existing knowledge and capabilities. Yet, little is known about the role of policy in this process. To address this, we analyse the relationship between the regional allocation of research grants and new technological specialisations of European regions between 1999 and 2010. Research grants are measured as the number of R&D projects supported by the EU Framework Programmes (FP) and technological specialisations based on regional patenting activities. Using a fixed effects linear probability model, our results indicate that FP participations have a positive but relatively small effect on the development of new specialisations of regions. Results further suggest that the effect is highest if the level of relatedness with the new technology is neither too low nor too high, indicating that participations can compensate for a lack of local related capabilities.

Title: Does university performance have an economic payoff for home regions? Evidence for the Spanish provinces
Abstract: 
 This paper analyses the impact of the university system performance on labour productivity growth for Spanish provinces during the period 2009–2016, showing a general positive link. These results enrich the debate on the economic spillovers of universities on their home regions. More specifically, we explore whether better managerial practices, which translate into more efficient organisations, have an economic effect on the territory. We decompose the effect into efficiency changes (approximations to the frontier) and changes due to technical progress (shifts of the frontier). Our results suggest that this impact is mostly driven by shifts in the frontier. However, the effect is only significant for provinces with productivity levels above the median. Therefore, our study suggests that the relative underperformance of the Spanish university system could be one of the factors slowing down the convergence path of Spanish provinces.

Title: The long-term effect of research grants on the scientific output of university professors
Abstract: 
 A major source of research funding for university professors are competitive research grants. With focus on Luxembourg, we present results from a difference-in-difference analysis which show that research grants by the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR), the central research funding agency in Luxembourg, increase the scientific output of university professors by 31% which corresponds to one additional publication. We further show that the scientific output drops again around five years after the grant receipt. We, however, find that those university professors who realise a quality increase of their journal publications in the years following the grant receipt benefit from a long-lasting publication quality effect.

Title: Understanding the Heterogeneous Additionality of R&D Subsidy Programs of Different Government Levels
Abstract: 
 What explains the different additionality of R&D subsidies through public programmes of different government levels? Does multiple programme participation induce more additionality? We deal with these questions by examining the profile of 8,280 Spanish firms with R&D projects publicly supported through subsidy programmes for the period 2007–2016. We use standard Propensity Score Matching techniques to estimate treatment effects at the firm level, and then we explore the reasons for the heterogeneity in these individual effects through the estimation of an equation for their determinants. We find that, after controlling for a large set of firm characteristics, companies with multiple programme participation show higher additionality, although the effect is lower for firms with very high support intensities. Second, regardless of the government level of the support programme, the degree of additionality is related positively to firm innovativeness and negatively to dimensions that denote a more market-oriented R&D.

Title: International doctoral graduates as inventors in the German innovation system
Abstract: 
 We study patenting activities of international STEM PhDs trained at German universities to explore their integration into the German innovation system and their role in the international diffusion of technology. International PhD inventors with German inventor addresses file a disproportionate share of patents with applicants from their home countries. Our results do not indicate that they are more likely to cite, or be cited by, patents from their home country or other international patents.

Title: Generating tacit knowledge across borders: international collaboration and design innovation in Norway
Abstract: 
 We analyse the international dispersion of inventor networks engaged in design innovation, by studying a dataset of design patents linked to Norway. Specifically, we examine the extent to which the international dispersion of design innovation is sustained by firms´ organisation-based pipelines, innovation capabilities and star designers’ personal linkages. We find that, in traditional design sectors, greater orchestration and innovative capabilities help firms source knowledge globally, while star designers tend to work independently or collaborate locally. Design innovation activities in high-tech sectors show higher international connectedness, largely driven by star designers’ personal connections. Surprisingly, firms with lower innovative capability tend to be connected to inventor networks that are more internationally dispersed. While increasing attention is being given to the value added by design, little is known about international design innovation networks. Our paper opens potential avenues for research on the distribution and orchestration of design innovation across borders.

Title: Continuous innovation failure, top management team relational capital and the overseas R&D activities of companies in emerging economies
Abstract: 
 Failure is an unavoidable part of the innovation process. Previous studies have explored the impact of innovation failures on a variety of strategic actions. However, to date, whether and when firms – especially those in emerging economies – adopt overseas research and development (R&D) strategies in response to innovation failures remains unexplored. By integrating insights from the behavioural theory of the firm (BTOF) and springboard theory, our study theoretically analyzes and empirically examines the impact of continuous innovation failure on the overseas R&D activities of companies in emerging economies. Using a dataset comprised of Chinese listed manufacturing firms, we find that continuous innovation failure is positively related to the overseas R&D activities of companies in emerging economies. After considering the moderating effect of top management team (TMT) relational capital, we also find that TMT financial relational capital weakens the above relationship, while TMT government relational capital strengthens it.

Title: Stepping up to the mark? Firms’ export activity and environmental innovation in 14 European countries
Abstract: 
 We investigate the ability of exports to trigger the adoption of environmental innovation (EI) in firms, shedding light on the determinants of convergence in environmental standards for Europe’s catch-up economies. To analyse this question empirically, we measure the latter as the 1) probability a firm adopts EI and the 2) breadth of EI adoption in firms. Applying Logit and Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood estimations to firm-level data for 14 European countries, we find that particularly Eastern European exporters report higher EI adoption propensities, an effect exclusively driven by process-based EI and not observable for product-based EI. Additionally, we reveal that regardless of a firm’s origin, exposure to importing countries with high market-related environmental policy stringency, is linked to the adoption of EI. We conclude that learning-by-exporting, regulation-push and demand-pull mechanisms may help to explain these findings, with foreign markets being characterised by a wider diversity of stakeholder preferences.

Title: The impact of institutional voids and ecosystem logics in the spread of ecosystems in emerging economies
Abstract: 
 Business ecosystems can be formed with the contribution of stakeholders from countries with different conditions. In this research, we investigate how institutional voids and their management impact the spread of business ecosystems with developed market origins in emerging economies. We conduct our analysis on the screen reader ecosystems in Turkey, which characterise the assistive technology industry for the blind. In our abductive study with three screen reader dealers of US-based producers in Turkey, we find that the spread of ecosystems in emerging economies is determined by how ecosystem logics fit with the institutional conditions regardless of the home market dominance of ecosystems, and how different types of institutional voids are effectively addressed by local entrepreneurs.

Title: Organisations’ Resources and External Shocks: Exploring Digital Innovation in Family Firms
Abstract: 
 Few external shocks have had as severe an impact on organisations as COVID-19. To date, research on how management can respond to such a trigger event is lacking. Due to their economic relevance, family firms, which are typically resource-constrained and rely on idiosyncratic resource allocation behaviour, are of particular interest in this regard. Based on a multicase study of German family firms and building on longitudinal insights from 112 semistructured interviews, we develop a framework explaining how an external shock such as the COVID-19 pandemic can trigger a change in family firms’ motives. Linking adapted motives of family firms (i.e. survival, utilisation, and opportunism) with their resource allocation behaviour during the crisis (in terms of resource preservation, resource recombination, and social boundary resource development), we reveal how digital innovation (digital process innovation, digital product innovation, and digital business model innovation) originates as a result of a process of entrepreneurial action.

Title: Skills shortage and innovation
Abstract: 
 Skilled labour is a key input to the innovation process. A shortage in supply may impede innovation activities and result in lower productivity gains. While governments are concerned about these likely negative impacts, there is only limited empirical evidence whether and to what extent skills shortage affects innovation activities. The paper addresses this question using panel data from two waves of the German innovation survey. We measure skills shortage by job openings that could not be filled at all, not with the required skills or only with significant delay, distinguishing different skill levels. We analyse whether skills shortage is linked to stopping or abandoning innovation projects. Endogeneity issues are tackled by instrumental variable estimation techniques. Our results show that innovative firms are more likely to be subject to skills shortage, whereas skills shortage induces the cancellation of innovation projects.

Title: An empirical study of drivers for the adoption of logistics innovation
Abstract: 
 By drawing on a large representative sample of German firms, we examine patterns and drivers of logistics innovation. We find that firm size, R&D intensity, product innovation, engagement in international markets, and competitive pressure are all positively related to the probability that a firm introduces logistics innovation and to the breadth of adoption across different types of logistics innovation. However, specific notable differences arise: digital logistics innovation is mainly adopted by larger firms and in response to cost and performance motives. In contrast, the adoption of environmental logistics innovation responds more strongly to market pressure.

Title: Family-managed firms, external sources of knowledge and innovation
Abstract: 
 This study examines the influence of external sources of knowledge on innovation in a sample of Spanish manufacturing firms during the period 2002–2015. By differentiating firms according to their family status, our results reveal that the probability of engaging in product and process innovations is higher for family-managed firms involved in R&D cooperation with a varied group of partners. Additionally, our findings provide support for the role of R&D-oriented family-managed firms in easing the flow of knowledge and information for innovation at regional level (i.e. family firm-led knowledge spillovers). Because of their unique social capital and embeddedness in the local setting, family-managed firms contribute to creating a favourable regional environment for innovation for all co-located firms. However, this result holds only when the geographical concentration of R&D-oriented family-managed firms is coupled with technological proximity. Theoretical, policy and managerial implications are discussed.

Title: R&D networks and their effects on knowledge exploration versus knowledge exploitation: Evidence from a spatial econometric perspective
Abstract: 
 We argue that the effects of inter-regional R&D networks on regional knowledge creation vary for different modes of knowledge creation – exploitative and explorative – as well as for the quantity and quality of new knowledge created. To explore these differences across European regions, we estimate a set of spatial Durbin models (SDMs) with altering network indicators. The results show that the embedding in inter-regional networks is in general a significant driver for both modes of knowledge creation. While we find a higher positive impact of networks on exploitative than on explorative knowledge creation for the quality of knowledge output, the opposite is true for pure knowledge quantity.

Title: The role of initial and gradual trust in growing and unlocking regional industrial specialisations
Abstract: 
 Regional development is a dynamic process where relatively stable periods are interrupted by phases of more rapid transformation and disruption. Such dynamics are heavily influenced by the scope and nature of knowledge networks. Trust is a key mechanism influencing the mobilisation of networks for learning and innovation and thereby an important factor for understanding regional development. This paper sets out to unpack the role of initial and gradual trust in regional development by advancing a differentiated view that sheds light on why, when, and how trust affects regional development dynamics in a positive or negative way. Avenues for future research are identified.

Title: How spatial proximity facilitates distant search – a social capital perspective on local open innovation
Abstract: 
 Distant search has evolved from the open innovation literature as an efficient mechanism to access external knowledge from heterogeneous fields of expertise. Despite its popularity and proven benefits, companies face multiple barriers to benefitting from distant search. In this study, we explore a local open innovation approach in which the spatial distance between solution-seeking firms and problem solvers was deliberately reduced to combine the benefits of distant search with those of spatial proximity. We studied eight local open innovation events and found that spatial proximity supports the implementation of open innovation, overcoming challenges of initiating organisational change towards openness, establishing trusting relationships for knowledge exchange, and successfully applying the external knowledge. By identifying social capital as the key success factor in local open innovation, our study contributes to the theoretical foundations of open innovation by showing how the dimensions of social capital enable key actions in each process phase.

Title: New regional industrial path development and innovation networks in times of economic crisis
Abstract: 
 This paper presents novel research on how exogenous shocks and economic crises affect innovation, knowledge networks, and new path development in regions. Conceptually, we take a regional innovation systems perspective which views new path development as the outcome of innovation and knowledge exchange between firms and other actors, facilitated by a common institutional framework. Empirically, we draw on interviews and network data from the oil and gas industry in southern Norway. Following a long period of prosperity, the industry was hit by the oil price shock in 2014 and entered an economic crisis. The findings suggest that the shock triggered the firms to commit even more forcefully to innovation and to expand their knowledge networks geographically. To cope with the crisis, they applied a variety of strategies, which can be associated with different forms of path development. We draw conclusions for innovation policy in the context of exogenous shocks and crises.

Title: The wealth of (Open Data) nations? Open government data, country-level institutions and entrepreneurial activity
Abstract: 
 Lately, Open Data (OD) has been promoted by governments around the world as a resource to accelerate innovation within entrepreneurial ventures . However,it remains unclear to what extent OD drives innovative entrepreneurship. This paper sheds light on this open question by providing novel empirical evidence on the relationship between OD publishing and (digital) entrepreneurship at the country-level. We draw upon a longitudinal dataset comprising 90 countries observed over the period 2013–2016. We find a significant and positive association between OD publishing and entrepreneurship at the country level. The results also show that OD publishing and entrepreneurship is strong in countries with high institutional quality. We argue that publishing OD is not sufficient to improve innovative entrepreneurship alone, so states need to move beyond a focus on OD initiatives and promotion, to focus on a broader set of policy initiatives that promote good governance.

Title: Fast as a gazelle – young firms gaining from educational diversity
Abstract: 
 Young, high-growth firms, so-called gazelles, are an important source of growth and industry dynamics. However, our understanding is lacking on how knowledge competences support high growth among young firms. This article aims to fill this gap by utilising firm and employee knowledge stocks, and diversity in educational backgrounds. The firm’s stock of knowledge capital is measured by intangible capital that is calculated from organisational, product development and ICT investments. The employees’ knowledge stock is approximated by their completed educational degrees. Our data originate from Danish registers and covers 2000–2016. The findings indicate that intangible capital has the potential to increase the likelihood of becoming a gazelle. We further find that educational diversity is beneficial but is moderated by firms’ knowledge intensity.

Title: Ambidexterity and innovation in cluster SMEs: evidence from Indonesian manufacturing
Abstract: 
 Resource constraints are widely regarded as a major barrier for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to achieve ambidexterity. While operating in a cluster may help SMEs alleviate resource constraints, it also creates the risk of over embeddedness within the cluster whereby firms focus excessively on exploitation that hampers their ability to achieve ambidexterity. We propose that cluster SMEs with risk-taking orientation and that pursue knowledge search beyond cluster boundaries can overcome over embeddedness within their clusters and achieve ambidexterity. We further suggest that ambidexterity can be a critical competence for SMEs to realise superior innovation performance. Analysis of data gathered through face-to-face interviews and questionnaires from 109 owner-managers of SMEs in a footwear manufacturing cluster in Indonesia support these predictions. Extra-cluster ties and risk taking are critical antecedents of ambidexterity in cluster SMEs. Further, ambidexterity mediates the effects of risk taking fully, and extra-cluster ties partially, on SMEs’ innovation performance.

Title: Co-Worker complementarities and new firm survival
Abstract: 
 In the present paper, we analyse the association between the skill composition of young firms and the firms’ subsequent survival. This is made possible by means of a matched employer-employee dataset from Statistics Sweden on a cohort of firms that started between 2001 and 2003. Our findings show that, compared to firms that exit, the firms that survive at least until 2012 have teams with higher complementarity at the start, and successively increase their skill complementarity over time. Subsequent discrete time hazard models, controlling for several well-known determinants of firm longevity, show that complementarity plays a crucial role for firm survival. Higher skill synergy within firms, as compared to high degrees of substitutability, is associated with a lower conditional probability of failing. The role of skill complementarity is stable across different specifications and outweighs many other determinants of firm survival, such as starting size and experience of the founder.

Title: Disparities in robot adoption among U.S. manufacturers: a critical economic development challenge
Abstract: 
 The growing recognition of industrial robots as a source of innovation and competitiveness for manufacturing is motivating calls for a supportive industrial ecology and policy framework. However, little is known about factors that stimulate robot adoption at the firm level. Based on survey results of 428 manufacturing establishments, this study examines 1) the current diffusion of robotics in manufacturing and 2) establishment- and region-level characteristics associated with robot adoption. Our analysis showsthat while earlier robot adopters were mainly large establishments in the automotive sector, robots are now penetrating small- and medium-sized establishments and other sectors. Furthermore, being in a a region with a large pool of existing robot users and robot-related skilled labour positively affects establishments’ decisions on robot adoption. These trends suggest cumulative advantage (and disadvantage) regarding technology upgrading and a need for policies that can encourage wider adoption of robots.

Title: The architecture of innovation: how firms configure different types of complementarities in emerging ecosystems
Abstract: 
 Ecosystems are one of the major trends today. They are based on complementarities, which can take the form of supermodularity or uniqueness and appear on both production and consumption side. Different configurations of complementarity lead to different characteristics of ecosystems with different implications. But which configuration of complementarities is beneficial in a given setting and what are the resulting consequences? We study emerging ecosystems driven by the respective orchestrator. Based on a multiple-case study, we show how and why orchestrators are leveraging different configurations of complementarities depending on, amongst others, competition on ecosystem or value proposition level and uncertainty and the resulting challenges for the orchestrator. These insights provide researchers with a better understanding of the basic mechanics of ecosystems and explain why certain types and structures of ecosystems are more likely to be seen in specific environments. For managers, it helps to sketch the development paths for own ecosystems.

Title: Influence of entrepreneurial ecosystems on innovation ecosystems in peripheral regions: the case of the Champagne-Ardenne region
Abstract: 
 The relationship between innovation ecosystems (IEs) and entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs), particularly in peripheral regions (PRs), is understudied. Our aim is to explore the attributes of EEs in PRs and their influence on IE outcomes (i.e. synergies, innovations, and value co-creation). Specifically, we established a framework of 16 attributes grouped into cultural, social, and material categories and highlighted some of the strengths and weaknesses of EEs in PRs. We then used this framework for Champagne-Ardenne, a French PR, through a qualitative study of 15 key stakeholders in EEs. Results indicate that of the 16 attributes, 4 have two main positive effects (entrepreneurial success stories and local leadership and governance) and two main negative effects (stakeholder power imbalance and precarious human capital) on IE outcomes. The remaining attributes show mixed effects on IE outcomes. We suggest that entrepreneurs and policymakers improve IE outcomes by considering the specific impact of these attributes.

Title: Automation, firm employment and skill upgrading: firm-level evidence from China
Abstract: 
 The present empirical study investigated the impacts of automation technology on employment at the firm level in Dongguan, China. Results of propensity score matching (PSM) and difference-in-difference (DID) modelling show that automation technology increases the total employment as well as employment associated with workers at all skill levels of firms, indicating that the productivity effect is stronger than the displacement effect in manufacturing firms. Furthermore, automation technology has led to the skill upgrading of employment composition, with the proportion of high-skilled labour increasing and low-skilled labour decreasing. Moreover, automation can increase labour turnover in some PSM scenarios but reduce local labour share. Automation technology also has a lasting effect on employment size and local labour share, while its impact on employment skill composition lasts only three years. In addition, automation technology substantially affects the employment composition of labour-intensive, foreign-invested firms and firms older than six years.

Title: Pharmaceutical spending and early-stage innovation in EU countries
Abstract: 
 We investigate the impact of pharmaceutical spending and retail sales in major anatomical therapeutic classes on domestic early-stage innovation. For our analysis, we incorporate panel data from 1999 to 2019 from countries of the European Union. The econometric analysis uses fixed effects with instrumental variable estimation to address potential endogeneity of pharmaceutical spending. The analysis is based on two instruments, social insurance coverage for pharmaceutical products and government defence expenditures, and controls for pharmaceutical R&D spending by U.S.-owned firms and other potential confounders. Two-stage least squares (2SLS) estimates show that a 1% increase in pharmaceutical spending per capita increases patent applications by 2.2%. We find similar results when sales in each therapeutic class are designated as the independent variable. Results are robust when using different time lags and patent grants as a measure of innovation. Overall, increasing pharmaceutical spending in countries of the European Union increases domestic early-stage innovation.

Title: The search for alternatives to internal combustion: instantiation mechanisms of institutional logics among scientists and engineers
Abstract: 
 While much of the institutional research has suggested and empirically demonstrated that institutional logics shape cognitive and behavioural patterns of actors, what still remains unclear is how scientists and engineers instantiate the conceptual elements of institutional logics in the context of the emergence of new technologies. We demonstrate the mechanisms through which scientists and engineers use the conceptual elements of multiple institutional logics in response to changes in external socio-economic and political conditions to justify their own research activities. Our context is the forty-year search for alternatives to internal combustion within a leading international conference on electric and hybrid electric vehicles (EVS). Combining Computer-Aided Text Analysis (CATA) and inductive methods, we identify four distinct instantiation mechanisms – contextualising, spanning, appropriating, and conflating – that scientists and engineers searching for a successful alternative to internal combustion used to instantiate the institutional logics within which they were embedded.

Title: R&D subsidies and firm innovation: does human capital matter?
Abstract: 
 This paper examines the innovation impact of R&D subsidies in Spain. It contributes to the literature on technology policy by challenging the assumption considering this impact as homogenous across firms. The paper presents a conceptual framework in which the human capital composition of a firm’s R&D staff, defined in terms of education and skills, conditions the innovation impact of R&D subsidies. Using panel data for Spain, we find that the shares of Ph.Ds. and researchers within a firm’s R&D staff positively moderate the effect of national R&D subsidies on the production of technological knowledge. This fact shows the strategic value of Ph.Ds. and researchers in exploiting R&D subsidies. We also show that the contribution of Ph.Ds. is limited to the production of technological knowledge. In contrast, the contribution of researchers goes beyond the production of technological knowledge, also enhancing the R&D subsidy impact on the commercialisation of firms’ innovations.

Title: CEO characteristics and the Doing-Using-Interacting mode of innovation: a new upper echelons perspective
Abstract: 
 Little is known about how, and through which characteristics, CEO effects DUI mode innovation activities in SMEs. Thus, we connect the DUI mode concept with business management research and use data from 40 qualitative interviews in German non-R&D-based, but innovative SMEs. Applying the upper echelon concept as an analytical framework our results show that the CEO acts as an important moderator and mediator between DUI learning mechanism and innovation performance. In particular CEO’s values and cognitive base may help to increase innovation activities of the employees. Our paper is the first that empirically applies CEO’s psychological attributes of the upper-echelons concept to DUI innovations in non-R&D SMEs. We have developed a new version of the upper echelons model as well as hypotheses gained from the qualitative data analysis that are ready to be tested with quantitative procedures to improve the upper echelons theory concerning DUI-led innovation processes in SMEs.

Title: Coding for intangible competitive advantage - mapping the distribution and characteristics of software-developing firms in the Swedish economy
Abstract: 
 Software is at the core of digitalisation and is often claimed to play a central role in innovation and in shaping competition across industries and firms. There are yet few studies of the extent and nature of software development across firms. We employ a unique firm-level survey comprising 3,929 firms across Sweden to analyse the distribution and characteristics of firms that invest in software development and the orientation of their investments. The results confirm that software development activities are present in most industries, but heterogeneously distributed across firms. Internal software development is associated with innovation-oriented large firms in high-tech and knowledge-intensive industries, and is often affiliated with MNEs. The results suggest that software development is comparable to R&D investments and constitutes an example of digital innovation. This strengthens the value of studying software development activities to understand how firms invest in and build competitive advantage in the digitalised economy.

Title: Disrupting regional efficiency gaps via Industry 4.0 firm investments
Abstract: 
 This paper has two principal purposes. The first is to measure the operational efficiency gain that adopting new advanced technologies, defined as the fourth industrial revolution allows firms to achieve. The second is to challenge whether Industry 4.0 investments bring about strong enough improvement in firm performance to address the historical regional development gaps in Italy. Using a sample of 2609 firms observed during the period 2016–2019, we estimate technical efficiency scores by applying a one–step stochastic frontier analysis. This technique allows us to simultaneously relate operating performance to a set of regional dummy variables and assess the Industry 4.0 investment share of total firm investment expenditure. The stylised facts indicate substantial efficiency disparities between smart factories and firms that do not implement such investments. The adoption of new technologies partially mitigates the Italian regional efficiency gap, bridging the distance between Southern Italy and the rest of Italy.

Title: Firms and innovation in the new industrial paradigm of the digital transformation
Abstract: 
 The unfolding of the digital transformation, often associated with the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, has been attracting increasing attention in diverse academic disciplines. The related research has already populated several special issues that represent important guideposts for future studies on the topic. However, a paper collection with an ‘Industry and Innovation’ perspective, dealing with how firms behave, innovate, and perform in the new industrial paradigm, is still missing. This special issue aims to fill this gap. The six research articles investigate how firms face digital transformation from three different angles, looking at its determinants, the patterns of its unfolding, and its techno-economic effects. The variety of the theoretical backgrounds, data sources, and empirical methodologies, along with the originality and managerial/policy relevance of their results, make the special issue a privileged point of view to investigate the new industrial paradigm.

Title: Education, routine, and complexity-biased Key Enabling Technologies: evidence from Emilia-Romagna, Italy
Abstract: 
 \We analyse the relationship between the endowment of Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) and the demand for occupations, tasks, and skills in the local labour market areas (LLMAs) of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. We merge three data sources, and we compute the share of highly educated employees, of employees accomplishing low- versus high-routine tasks, and three novel indicators measuring the complexity of occupations, tasks, and skills. Our panel estimates show that a larger share of KETs not only corresponds to a higher demand for workers holding a tertiary education degree, or accomplishing less routinary tasks, but also to a higher demand for a wider, and more exclusive, set of occupations, tasks, and skills. These results are also robust to unobserved heterogeneity and reverse causality.

Title: A managerial mental model to drive innovation in the context of digital transformation
Abstract: 
 Industry 4.0 is transforming how businesses innovate and, as a result, companies are spearheading the movement towards ‘Digital Transformation’. While some scholars advocate the use of design thinking to identify new innovative behaviours, cognition experts emphasise the importance of top managers in supporting employees to develop these behaviours. However, there is a dearth of research in this domain and companies are struggling to implement the required behaviours. To address this gap, this study aims to identify and prioritise behavioural strategies conducive to design thinking to inform the creation of a managerial mental model. We identify 20 behavioural strategies from 45 interviewees with practitioners and educators and combine them with the concepts of ‘paradigm-mindset-mental model’ from cognition theory. The paper contributes to the body of knowledge by identifying and prioritising specific behavioural strategies to form a novel set of survival conditions aligned to the new industrial paradigm of Industry 4.0.

Title: New digital technologies and firm performance in the Italian economy
Abstract: 
 New digital technologies can generate substantial gains for adopting businesses. In this paper we analyse the impact of new technologies associated with the Industry 4.0 paradigm on labour productivity, average wages and sales growth. The analysis is based on microdata produced by the Italian National Institute for the Analysis of Public Policies (INAPP) on a large representative sample of Italian firms. We merge INAPP data with Orbis data covering the period 2010–2014-2018. By applying a Diff-in-Diff methodology, we show that the economic size of the effect of new technologies on productivity and sales is approximately twice as large as the effect on average wages. The positive impact is stronger for small and medium-size firms, even though the effects appear to be concentrated among more mature rather than younger firms and are heterogeneaous along the distributions. Results are robust to unobserved heterogeneity and endogeneity issues.

Title: Digital Transformation of the Automotive Industry: An Integrating Framework to Analyse Technological Novelty and Breadth
Abstract: 
 
Research demonstrates that digital technologies stimulate industrial transformation by enabling new interdependencies with firms outside and across firm and industry boundaries. However, we know little about the degree of novelty and breadth of digital technologies that have the potential to transform industries. Understanding the degree of novelty (spanning from radical to incremental) and breadth (spanning from one sector to multiple sectors) of digital technologies is important for measuring their impact on industrial transformation. Through a topic modelling research approach on autonomous vehicle technology patents from firms operating in Sweden and a confirmatory survey with the inventors of those patents, this paper reveals 26 digital technology topics that are transforming the automotive industry. The digital technology topics are distributed across four ideal-typical technology categories for transformation: augmenting, spanning, transforming, and disrupting. This study illustrates the value of studying digital technologies’ transformative nature using an integrating framework; it reveals that digital technologies in the automotive industry have mainly incremental characteristics but that these characteristics provide necessary preconditions for the few more radical technologies to achieve their potential in transforming the industry.

Title: How a firm’s knowledge base influences its external technology sourcing strategy: the case of biopharmaceutical firms
Abstract: 
 It is widely accepted in innovation management literature that a firm can increase its competitive advantage by recombining knowledge and that knowledge recombination requires engagement in external sourcing activities. What is less known, however, is how a firm’s external sourcing strategy – notably its propensity to engage in acquisitions or alliances – is influenced by its internal knowledge base. In this paper, we examine how two critical characteristics of a firm’s knowledge base, namely, scientific orientation and technological diversity, influence the extent to which it engages in alliances or acquisitions. We find that both explanatory variables increase firms’ likelihood of engaging in external technology sourcing and favouring alliances over acquisitions. Our analyses are based on a sample of European firms operating in the biopharmaceutical industry.

Title: Financial resources for research and innovation in small and larger firms: Is it a case of the more you have, the more you do?
Abstract: 
 Our study analyses how firms’ internal financial resources impact their engagement in scientific research, development, and five innovation activities. Furthermore, we investigate how firm-size moderates the impact of firms’ internal financial resources on scientific research, development, and innovation. Our approach provides novel insights regarding whether more money leads to more research and innovation, a topic that remains highly contested in the literature. Our analysis uses a novel unbalanced panel dataset of 1,446 firms in Ireland, over the period 2008–2016. Levels of internal financial resources are found to positively impact larger-sized firms’ (50+ employees) engagement in scientific research, process innovation and product innovation. However, such resources tend to hinder small-sized firms’ (less than 50 employees) engagement in service and organisational innovation. Our research refines innovation theory by reconciling contrasting views regarding the importance of financial resources for research and innovation, and offers novel insights for informing related public policy interventions.

Title: The role of intangibles in firm-level productivity – evidence from Germany
Abstract: 
 This paper analyses the impact of intangibles on firm-level productivity. Unlike previous studies we capture all dimensions of intangibles for both goods-producing and service industries. Based on data from the German part of the Community Innovation Survey (CIS) for the period 2006 to 2018, our results show that intangible capital investment is equal in size to investment in tangible capital since the early 2000s. We find a highly significant and positive relationship between intangible capital and output, with elasticities in line with previous findings for other large EU economies. This positive impact of intangibles on the firm-level productivity is driven by non-R&D intangibles, notably software & databases, training and advertising & marketing. While this finding holds for both goods and service sectors, we find that non-R&D intangibles impact firm-level productivity more strongly in the services. Investment in R&D affects productivity only in the high-tech manufacturing sector.

Title: International breadth in coopetition and innovation performance: evidence from the Spanish biotechnology industry
Abstract: 
 
Collaboration with competitors – coopetition – enables access to valuable knowledge and resources for innovation and is seen as common practice in some knowledge-intensive sectors. Using longitudinal data from the Spanish biotechnology sector (a total of 1605 observations), this study examines the relationship between the international breadth of coopetition – the sum of the different international areas in which a firm’s coopetitors are located – and innovation performance. The results show that a firm must collaborate with competitors in more than a single geographical area to begin to experience the positive effect of international breadth on innovation performance. Furthermore, the results vary significantly in the presence of two different contingencies. Under conditions of lack of technological information, international breadth increases in value. When perceived market uncertainty is high, however, optimal results are achieved when the international breadth is limited to a single area.

Title: Attractiveness, ethnicity, and stage financing: exploring heuristics in venture capital staging
Abstract: 
 Understanding heuristics in stage financing is imperative, given the consequences of staging for both new venture entrepreneurs and VC investors. This study documents how entrepreneurs’ physical attractiveness affects VCs’ staging intensity during the early stages of the funding process, while taking into account the ethnic constellation of a given VC – entrepreneur dyad. Using a dataset for a representative sample of 231 European IT-ventures, the study finds that physical attractiveness of the lead entrepreneur and the ethnic constellation of a given VC-entrepreneur dyad independently and jointly affect a VC’s staging intensity during the early stages of the financing process. These findings were subjected to a two-stage least squares analysis and Heckman selection models.

Title: The dominant cybersecurity industry clusters: evolution and sustainment
Abstract: 
 Three mega-clusters dominate the cybersecurity industry: the San Francisco Bay Area, the Washington D.C. area and Israel. Together they are home to about half the influential cybersecurity firms; they have remained dominant since industry take-off in the 1990s. How have they remained dominant? We answer this question by synthesizing firm-level data, case studies, and interviews, compiling an extensive history of their evolution; then using a Geographic Information System to map these clusters. Applying the Menzel and Fornahl cluster lifecycle model, we find these clusters advanced into the Growth (2nd) stage but have not reached an equilibrium state. The model points to heterogeneity as key to avoiding cluster weakening through lock-in. Three vectors of heterogeneity explain how these clusters remain dominant: The absence of a de facto standard design, spatial expansion, and the ever-increasing cyber-threat landscape. Additionally, powerful anchor institutions are present in two of the three clusters.

 This paper offers a novel take on the relationship between migration and regional innovation by analysing the impact of both international and internal migration flows across Italian provinces, by skill level, and on three types of intellectual property rights (IPRs), namely patents, trademarks and design rights. Allowing us to capture innovation beyond technology and high-tech manufacturing, our results shed light on the relationship between different types of migrant human capital and this array of innovative outcomes. Focusing on Italian provinces in the period 2003–2012, our empirical analysis reveals that internal migration is more significantly related to innovation than international migration. Moreover, medium- and high-skilled migrants are positively associated with all three types of IPRs, while low-skilled migration has a negative association. There are also significant differences across provinces, with a clear distinction between the more economically developed Northern provinces and the rest of Italy.

Title: Managing where you are: agglomeration economies, managerial industry experience and innovation in South-East Asia
Abstract: 
 It is well-established that firms leverage both internal and external resources for their innovation activities. Even though the role of agglomeration economies in shaping the external resources available to firms has been particularly well-studied it is still unclear whether it is diversity or specialisation within agglomerations that drives firm innovativeness. We suggest that both do but that their relations with firm innovativeness are moderated by managerial industry experience. Using data from four South-East Asian economies we find that managers with more industry experience are better able to make the most of where they are, leveraging the opportunities afforded by their geographic environment. This finding is most pronounced in rural areas where firms with inexperienced managers almost never innovate, whereas half of the firms with experienced managers do. This suggests that future agglomeration research should be attentive to firm-level idiosyncrasies.

Title: Promote or inhibit? The influence of partner repeatedness in university-industry alliance portfolios on firm innovation performance
Abstract: 
 Constructing a portfolio of university-industry (UI) alliances with multiple academic institutions simultaneously has been pervasive for emerging market firms. However, whether repeated partnerships in focal firms’ UI alliance portfolios influence firm innovation performance remains unknown. Using the unbalanced panel data from Chinese manufacturing firms, we theorise and find that UI alliance portfolio partner repeatedness has a negative effect on focal firms’ innovation performance. Besides, we examine the boundary conditions under which UI alliance portfolio partner repeatedness influences firm innovation performance. We find that both institutional development and market competition weaken the negative effect of UI alliance portfolio partner repeatedness on firm innovation performance. This study contributes to previous studies and provides practical implications for both firm managers and policymakers.

Title: Linking external collaborations, eco-innovation and sustainable growth. An empirical analysis on the Italian manufacturing firms
Abstract: 
 This paper analyses the relationships between eco-innovation and business performance by exploring the role of external collaborations as a potential factor explaining the persisting heterogeneity of economic effects of eco-innovation. Basing on a large survey of 3,000 Italian manufacturing firms, the study investigates to what extent collaborations with supply chain and quadruple helix actors, including public institutions, universities and civil society, contribute in sustaining firm’s growth by improving the effectiveness of different types of eco-innovations. We find that the relationship between eco-innovation and business performance is moderated by both supply-chain and quadruple helix collaborations. However, external collaborations with actors of the quadruple helix show a pronounced heterogeneity. While process eco-innovation may in particular benefit from establishing collaborations with public institutions, product eco-innovation relies more on interactions with civil society suggesting that market-driven factors still exert a main role in influencing the market success of this type of eco-innovation.

Title: Heterogeneity of optimal balance between exploration and exploitation:the moderating roles of firm technological capability and industry alliance network position
Abstract: 
 Although existing ambidexterity literature suggests that firms need to find the optimal balance between exploration and exploitation for superior performance, few studies have empirically examined the heterogeneity of this balance according to firm-specific conditions. Building upon the capability and social network literature, we contend that firms’ technological capability and network position within industry alliances determine the optimal balance between exploration and exploitation. Analysing 7-year panel data in the worldwide semiconductor industry from 1994 to 2000, we find support for the following hypotheses: 1) the proportion of exploration has an inverted U-shaped relationship with innovation performance; 2) as firm technological capability increases, the optimal point between exploration and exploitation moves towards the exploration side; 3) as network centrality within industry alliances increases, the optimal point moves towards the exploitation side. The results offer theoretical insights into the ambidexterity literature as well as managerial implications for firms making resource allocation decisions.

Title: Overcoming innovation barriers through collaboration in emerging countries: the case of Colombian manufacturing firms
Abstract: 
 There has been a growing interest in open innovation strategy as a mechanism to face obstacles in innovative projects in the last three decades. These studies reveal that companies perceiving knowledge and skill shortages prioritise collaboration with universities and public research institutions rather than with other partners. However, most studies addressing the link between collaboration and innovation barriers are conducted in high-income countries. Drawing on the concepts of cognitive distance and absorptive capacities, we propose an analytical framework that challenges the suitability of this finding in the context of less developed economies. We provide evidence supporting this framework’s implications using the case of Colombian manufacturing firms. The resulting underutilisation of knowledge by firms in the context of emerging economies, as a consequence of their cognitive distance from universities and public research institutions, has important policy implications.

Title: Learning by exporting for marketing innovation
Abstract: 
 Exporting provides important learning opportunities for firms. Learning by exporting literature has primarily focused on general performance outcomes of learning such as productivity or technological innovation outcomes such as patents or product innovation. We use learning mechanisms from this literature and develop arguments for marketing innovation outcomes of learning by exporting. We further theorise how learning outcomes vary across firms depending on firms’ levels of marketing and technological capabilities. We test these hypotheses using a panel of Spanish manufacturing firms for 2007–2013 and find that exporting is associated with more marketing innovations. This learning effect is stronger for firms with leading marketing capabilities, and this effect is independent from the technological leadership status of the firm.

Title: Geography and the speed of green technology diffusion
Abstract: 
 A fast adoption and diffusion of green technologies will be essential for a successful transition of the world’s economies towards more sustainable modes of production and consumption. This article investigates the speed of green technology diffusion in China using a unique data set, which lists geocoded patent licence agreements for green technologies from 2000–2019. We focus on the relation between spatial determinants, including geographic proximity and regional technological specialisation, and the time-to-adoption, thus analysing the factors explaining the time between technology development (patent application) and technology adoption (licencing). The main finding is that geographic proximity to the innovator is associated with an accelerated time-to-adoption. Moreover, we find that the more a region specialises in green technologies, the faster a patent is licenced within that region.

Title: Economic complexity and the global asset-seeking strategies of Chinese multinationals
Abstract: 
 This article investigates the role of economic complexity in capturing asset-seeking motives and strategies of global knowledge accumulation by analysing the location decisions of Chinese multinationals. Using data on 14,873 Chinese subsidiaries in 78 countries for 2007–2015, we find that investment is associated with locations with lower economic complexity. This applies especially for destination countries within the OECD and MNCs in knowledge-intensive industries, whereas firms with a strong knowledge base may instead seek out locations with high economic complexity. Results are consistent with a strategy of accessing relatively low-complexity capabilities that can be accumulated to build and reinforce the international advantage and competitiveness of the multinational.

Title: Doors and walls: physical barriers and knowledge sharing
Abstract: 
 The extant literature has demonstrated that physical distance negatively affects knowledge sharing, even within the same building. Moreover, the impact of physical barriers, such as doors and walls, has been flagged as an important avenue for research. We contribute to the micro-geography literature by unpacking the effects of physical barriers on knowledge sharing and moderators of that relationship. Based on micro-level, single-firm observational data on employees’ knowledge-sharing dyads, we find that physical barriers impede knowledge sharing after accounting for distance. Simultaneously, we theorise on and find evidence of several moderators of the negative relationship between physical barriers and knowledge sharing at the dyadic and individual levels: strong ties, participation in coordination mechanisms across departments, job autonomy, and location in an office near a printer room. The study has implications for managers in charge of office allocation and the physical layout of offices.

Title: Platform participants hedging risk: post-alliance technology search of a platform participant and a rival platform
Abstract: 
 Using Oracle’s enterprise software platform ecosystem, we demonstrate how the platform players involved in or affected by alliances adjust their post-alliance technology search behaviours to address potential competitive challenges. While both platform owners and platform participants increase searches for each other’s technology after the formation of a technology alliance, we find that the latter also increase the technology searches for the main rival platform owner, likely in order to hedge the risk of being exclusively tied to the former. We further find that the rival platform owner also increases searches for the technology of the platform participant in order to neutralise potential competitive threats from the focal alliance. In doing so, this study cross-pollinates the separate research streams of platform ecosystems and alliances in order to examine the competitive interplays between platform player and the resulting technological evolution in a platform ecosystem.

Title: The rise of the digital service economy in European regions
Abstract: 
 A great interest was devoted to the rise of the Industry 4.0 production model and its impacts. Far less is known about the so-called digital service economy, a multifaceted phenomenon made of a sprawling range of businesses based on digital platforms and redesigning the boundaries of manufacturing towards services. The net socio-economic effects of the digital service economy at the local level are not yet known and difficult to be measured unless the different value creation models it entails are not identified. This paper fills such a gap by separating out, on conceptual grounds, specific value creation models within the digital service economy, each presenting distinctive growth opportunities and threats, and, empirically, measuring their spatial diffusion and coexistence in each European region. The taxonomy of European regions obtained serves future research purposes to assess the expected heterogeneous regional socio-economic effects of the digital service economy and its value creation models.

Title: Automated governance mechanisms in digital labour platforms: how Uber nudges and sludges its drivers
Abstract: 
 Using tools like machine learning algorithms, digital platforms raise new challenges to our understanding of control-governance dynamics in organisations. In this paper, we explore a unique governance mechanism; nudging – i.e. liberty-preserving approaches that steer people in particular directions – and provide exploratory findings that extend prior research in behavioural economics and organisational control-governance dynamics towards platform markets. We surveyed 166 Uber drivers to explicate the workings and effects of Uber’s good (i.e. transparent and easy to opt-out) and evil (i.e. obscure and misleading) nudges. Our findings suggest that while drivers are more satisfied with good nudges, these nudges do not make them more productive (i.e. increase their earnings-per-hour). Evil nudges, on the other hand, seem to have no effect on driver productivity. With experience, drivers learn to respond less to nudges (as they may realise that Uber’s nudges do not seem to increase their productivity). We extend the platform governance literature by highlighting whether and when nudges could influence drivers by creating false expectations. Our exploratory approach highlights new possible boundary conditions for the traditional theories, for example, Herzberg’s hygiene-motivation theory that, while differentiating hygiene factors from motivating factors, do not have the level of specificity to show the effects we discover here.

Title: Innovation platforms as a tool for anchoring non-local knowledge: smart specialisation strategies in Guangdong, China
Abstract: 
 Innovation platforms can be useful for promoting the diversification of regional industrial paths. Until recently, the literature had depicted such platforms primarily as a tool for enabling local knowledge recombination – and not for anchoring non-local knowledge. In many regions, however, ‘smart specialisation strategies’ for modernising and transforming industrial structures are difficult to implement without transplantation of non-local knowledge. This paper explores innovation platforms as a tool for anchoring non-local knowledge. We elaborate on recent Chinese experiences by studying diversification-oriented regional innovation policy in Guangdong province. We employ an embedded single-case study design, involving a regionally typical diversification strategy, which we substantiate by tracing platform development with two non-local actors, a university and a technology firm. The paper reveals that non-local actors can play an important role in unlocking regional industrial development potential, especially if platforms enable these actors to relate to local industry by performing desired intermediary functions.

Title: Digital technologies and eco-innovation. Evidence of the twin transition from Italian firms
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates how the twin transition (digital & green) unfolds within firms by relating investments in digital technologies to the propensity of eco-innovating production processes and models. Drawing on a heterogeneous theoretical background, digital technologies can be hypothesised to enable eco-innovation across the board. However, a greater eco-innovation impact is expected from Artificial Intelligence and from bundling digital investments. Using the new Permanent Census of Firms of the Italian National Statistical Office, these hypotheses are tested on a large sample of more than 150,000 firms. Results confirm that the contribution of digital technologies to a firm’s eco-innovation is mainly driven by investments in AI application areas, while investments in other digital technologies work more selectively. Moreover, new eco-innovative production processes and models benefit from bundling investments in different digital technologies, but with differences among firms of different size.

Title: Venture Capital Financing and Green Patenting
Abstract: 
 This paper explores the role of green innovation in attracting venture capital (VC) financing. We use a unique dataset that matches information on equity transactions, companies’ balance sheet variables and data on patented innovation at the firm level over the period 2008–2017. Taking advance of a novel granular definition of green innovative activities that tracks patents at the firm level, we show that green innovators are more likely to receive VC funding compared to other equity financing than firms without green patents. Likewise, a larger share of green vs. non-green patents in a firm’s patent portfolio increases the probability of receiving VC finance with respect to other equity. Robustness checks and extensions tackling several dimensions of heterogeneity confirm the attractiveness of green patenting for VC investment.

Title: Productivity and HGEs: resilience and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic
Abstract: 
 The impact of crises on firm performance has been studied widely. This paper explores the relationship between firms’ reaction to COVID-19 (in employment) and the adoption of digital technologies, taking into account their productivity, digitalisation level and high-growth episodes before the crisis. We match the EIB Group Survey of Investment and Investment Finance with ORBIS database for 27 EU Member States and the United Kingdom. We find that firms with higher productivity levels are less prone to decrease the number of employees in the short and long term due to the pandemic. High-growth enterprises are less likely to expect a reduction in the number of employees in the long term. Moreover, firms in highly digitalised sectors have a lower probability to reduce the number of employees. Finally, our results suggest that COVID-19 leads firms to increase their use of digital technologies, especially those that were already more digitalised.

Title: Knowing brown and inventing green? Incremental and radical innovative activities in the automotive sector
Abstract: 
 The development of low emission vehicles (LEVs) represents a typical case of technological competition between two green trajectories. On the one hand, the incremental trajectory aims at improving the efficiency of the dominant design, greening the internal combustion engine (ICEG). On the other hand, the radical trajectory targets the progress of hybrid, electric and fuel cell vehicles (HEF). This paper studies the innovative behaviours of firms in the automotive sector patenting in both trajectories. It investigates the extent to which technological leadership in green patents is rooted in firms’ knowledge and capabilities accumulated in brown domains. Using a novel dataset of automotive firms with patenting activity at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) between 2001 and 2018, we find that related ‘brown knowledge’ denotes leadership in green trajectories.

Title: Advanced digitalisation and resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic: firm-level evidence from developing and emerging economies
Abstract: 
 Advanced digital production technologies – often clustered under the label of ‘Industry 4.0’– are reshaping industrial production. Using novel firm-level data collected by UNIDO this paper investigates the extent to which these technologies shielded developing countries’ manufacturing firms in times of COVID-19. The results of the analysis show that the adoption of the latest vintage of digital technologies strengthened firms’ robustness against the shock and, at the same time, facilitated their readiness to respond and adapt to the new context. These findings pose relevant implications for the design of post-COVID recovery strategies to strengthen future industrial resilience in developing and emerging economies.

Title: E-skills and income inequality within European regions
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates the relationship between digital skills of the workforce and income inequalities within regions. By combining three databases – EU-LFS, EU-SILC and ESCO – the analysis studies the relationships between digital skills and income inequalities for an unbalanced panel of 103 European regions for the period 2003–13. The results show that the relationship between digital skills and inequalities varies substantially across income groups and, in particular, that digitalisation exacerbates inequalities among the less affluent whereas it mitigates them among those with higher income levels.

Title: Introduction to the special issue on “the twin (digital and green) transition: handling the economic and social challenges”
Abstract: 
 In an era of increasing global challenges, two paradigmatic shifts – the digital and green transitions – have gained traction due to their potential impacts on industrial ecosystems and societal inequalities. Termed the ‘twin transition’, these shifts underscore the synergies between technological advancements and environmental sustainability. Highlighting its importance in post-COVID-19 recovery, the special issue examines the twin transition’s potential to drive industrial innovation and affect social, economic, and geographical inequalities. The seven articles in this special issue explore the impact of the twin transition on corporate innovation strategies and investment, alongside the economic, social, and geographical implications. Key findings underscore the need for diversified technological investments, especially in AI, and enhanced digital infrastructures. Policy recommendations advocate for aiding firms lagging in digitalisation and developing region-specific innovation policies. The research sets a roadmap for future inquiries into the interplay of digital and green transition, broader economic impacts, and policy-driven strategies.

Title: On the road to regional ‘Competitive Environmental Sustainability’: the role of the European structural funds
Abstract: 
 We construct a novel indicator of regional competitive sustainability based on the movements over time of employment sectoral shares across all the regions of the European Union. The indicator accounts for shifts in employment towards greener and more productive sectors over the 2008–2018 period. The mapping of the indicators shows considerable regional heterogeneity in terms of both competitiveness and environmental sustainability, as well as interesting dynamics over time. We also present an econometric analysis of the determinants of these sectoral shifts. It appears that the European structural funds are positively associated with the transition to a more competitive and sustainable economy at the regional level. This is particularly true for the competitive dimension of the transition, with the funds being positively associated with a regional employment restructuring towards more productive sectors.

Title: Robots, skills and temporary jobs: evidence from six European countries
Abstract: 
 In our analysis of the impact of robot adoption on the use of flexible contracts in six European countries, we find that control for the type of innovation model that is dominant in an industry is crucial. In a ‘high knowledge cumulativeness’ innovation regime, robot adoption reduces the probability that high-skilled workers will receive temporary contracts, while no significant effect has been found for medium- and low-skilled workers. The rationale is: In a high cumulativeness regime, innovation depends on a firm’s internal knowledge sources, and high-skilled (rather than medium- and low-skilled) workers are crucial carriers of knowledge. The situation is different in ‘low-cumulativeness’ regimes. In the latter, firms are primarily using externally acquired knowledge in their innovation process. This makes workers more easily interchangeable and robot adoption significantly increases the probability to get temporary jobs for both medium- and high-skilled workers, but leaves low-skilled workers unaffected.

Title: Scenarios of technological progress in Italy: what can we expect?
Abstract: 
 The simple but deep sense of technological progress (TP) lies in the possibility of improving human life. The immediate question thereafter is clearly about the distribution of the gains from TP. With the diffusion of automation and artificial intelligence, fears about the implications of TP on employment and wages have gained renewed importance. While scholars are divided on the effects of this new wave of TP, they agree that every economy will be affected differently, and hence, it will require tailored policy measures. In this paper, we frame how TP could affect the Italian economy, as it is now. We simulate four different scenarios through a dynamic computable general equilibrium model with three types of labour and six types of households. We calibrate the model on the social accounting matrix, and we find that TP returns higher growth patterns albeit with disruptive effects on labour.

Title: Directionality challenges for transformative innovation policy: lessons from implementing climate goals in the process industry
Abstract: 
 In the new paradigm of ‘transformative’ or ‘mission-oriented’ innovation policy, which addresses broad societal challenges, policy makers are given a large responsibility for setting or shaping the direction of socio-technical transitions. However, the literature has so far not provided much concrete advice on how to achieve directionality in practice. The main argument of this conceptual article is that a more detailed approach is needed to better understand the challenges policy makers might face when they attempt to translate societal goals into more concrete and actionable policy agendas. It identifies and discusses eight analytically derived directionality challenges: handling goal conflicts, defining system boundaries, identifying realistic pathways, formulating strategies, realising destabilisation, mobilising relevant policy domains, identifying target groups, and accessing intervention points. To illustrate these challenges, the article uses examples from the implementation of the Swedish climate goal in the process industry.

Title: Innovation policy instruments for grand challenges: targeting constellations of diverse R&I actors?
Abstract: 
 Many countries have created research and innovation (R&I) policy instruments with the mission of addressing grand challenges. The new policy rationale suggests that these instruments must target civil society actors in new and more diverse constellations, combining them with ‘traditional’ R&I actors (universities and firms). Investigating the extent to which policy instruments are designed according to this requirement, this paper analyses co-occurrences of targeted R&I actors in science, technology and innovation policy instruments and identifies five typical constellations of targeted R&I actors. We focus on two constellations that are likely to include civil society actors. Wide constellations (dominated by universities and firms) are positively associated with grand challenge policy instruments. Civil-society-led constellations are less heterogeneous and possibly associated with grand challenge instruments. This original contribution shows partial consistency between the grand challenge policy rationale and its instruments, and evidence of civil-society-led actor constellations not yet considered in the literature.

Title: DUI it yourself: Innovation and activities to promote learning by doing, using, and interacting within the firm
Abstract: 
 Implicitly or explicitly, much innovation policy treats investments in research and development (R&D) as the main input to innovation. A large body of literature in innovation studies has challenged this, highlighting the role of external sources of innovation and of innovation based on learning by doing, using and interacting (DUI). Nonetheless, there has been limited empirical research on how firm-internal activities to promote DUI affect innovation, and on how important such activities are relative to internal R&D and to external sources of knowledge. We also know little about how internal DUI activities interact with internal R&D and with external knowledge sourcing. We address these gaps using Norwegian Community Innovation Survey data from 2010. We find that internal DUI is an important driver of new-to-market product innovation. Further, the results show partial substitution effects between internal DUI and internal R&D, as well as between internal DUI and external DUI.

Title: An emergent grounded theory of AI-driven digital transformation: Canadian SMEs’ perspectives
Abstract: 
 Artificial intelligence (AI) empowers traditional firms to transform into Industry 4.0, enabling them to compete in an era of rapid technological advancements. However, AI adoption remains limited among Canadian firms. This research aims to identify the key dimensions of AI-driven digital transformation (AIDT) and develop a grounded theory that provides a rich and nuanced understanding of how the AIDT process unfolds within Canadian SMEs. The study reveals that the AIDT process is shaped by the interplay of five core dimensions: evaluating transformation context, auditing organisational readiness, piloting the AI integration, scaling the implementation, and leading the transformation. The first four dimensions follow a sequential, stage-like progression, while the fifth dimension is recurring and omnipresent, exerting a continuous impact on the other phases. AIDT is characterised as a path-dependent, slow evolutionary change spectrum that demands firms adapt by developing their sensing, seizing and reconfiguration capacities to evolve and sustain their evolutionary fitness. The study explores several theoretical and managerial implications that arise from the findings.

Title: Innovation dynamics in the age of artificial intelligence: introduction to the special issue
Abstract: 
 In this paper, we discuss the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on innovation dynamics and argue that AI has affected innovation dynamics in at least two distinct ways. First, innovation using AI has unique dynamics that are characterised by data playing a central role and the increasing importance of external collaboration; however, data security and privacy issues also present new risks to external collaboration. When innovating in AI, collaboration with customers and competitors is critical, yet there are considerable risks associated with data sharing. Second, unique organisational challenges emerge during the diffusion of AI innovations, because adopting AI in an organisation not only results in the need for additional employee competencies but also challenges organisational power structures. We also discuss the merits of AI as a general purpose technology and argue that conclusions about AI in relation to innovation dynamics are likely to change when generative AI is widely adopted.

Title: Getting along with frenemies: enhancing multi-competitor coopetition governance through artificial intelligence and blockchain
Abstract: 
 Collaborating with one competitor is difficult but collaborating with several competitors is a monumental challenge. However, multi-competitor coopetition, or cooperation between multiple competitors, is increasing. This study examines how recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain can support multi-competitor coopetition by enhancing governance. Examining two coopetitive R&D consortia in pharmaceuticals and medical imaging, we find that a nascent form of AI called federated learning can address key coopetition concerns such proprietary and confidential data protection, knowledge leakage, data sovereignty and silos thereby maintaining organisational boundaries and autonomy. The use of federated learning and blockchain increases transparency and accountability, which reduces information asymmetries and power differential inequities. Together, these technologies decentralise governance and authority, reducing the tension between collective value creation and individual value appropriation inherent in coopetition, particularly those with multiple competitors. Finally, this study illustrates how emerging technologies challenge traditional assumptions about organisational boundaries, distributed innovation, and coopetition.

Title: Artefacts, routines, and co-production: a pioneering case of artificial intelligence-based health services in Argentina
Abstract: 
 The article presents innovation in artificial intelligence (AI)-based health services as a co-production process between actors and digital artefacts that increase automation and augmentative routine dynamics. The co-production process is analysed from the routine dynamics and contributions of science and technology studies and complexity theory. An in-depth single case of co-production based on AI is analysed to illustrate the innovation process at the micro level. The analysis reveals four findings: (1) innovation in services based on AI-technological solutions emerges from sociotechnical assemblages enacted by actors, artefacts, and routine dynamics; (2) technological solutions based on AI are emergent properties; (3) co-production of technological solutions based on AI are contextualised on situated action and embedded in a cognitive distribution system that leads to automated and augmentative routine dynamics; and (4) the adoption of standardised AI-based technological solutions transforms institutional arrangements. Implications for policymakers and future research agendas are also outlined.

Title: Opening the black box of artificial intelligence technologies: unveiling the influence exerted by type of organisations and collaborative dynamics
Abstract: 
 Until now, the management literature on Artificial Intelligence (AI) focuses mostly on the diverse applications of this technology, while its development has attracted only limited attention. To partially fill this research gap, the present paper analyses a large sample of AI patents and investigates the potential determinants of their technological impact. We show how University-Industry (UI) collaborations seem to be less able to develop high-impact AI patents, compared to other types of partnership based on the involvement of either universities or companies. This result contrasts with the previous literature on the inventing process of other general-purpose technologies (GPT), thus clarifying how the development of AI may be significantly affected by the peculiar characteristics of this technology. Thereby, our findings not only shed further light on the inventing process of AI solutions but may also stimulate the debate on the development of other GPTs strongly imbued with scientific knowledge.

Title: Randomisation as a tool for organisational decision-making: a debatable or debilitating proposition?
Abstract: 
 The role of experts has been called into question recently. Scholarly works debate whether expert judgement is given excessive reliance on innovation, science, and entrepreneurial decision-making. Increasingly, there are arguments that managers, founders, and funders would be better off relying on randomisation to a much higher degree. This article sheds light on the integration of randomisation in decision-making, presenting the pros and cons of expert advice, on the one hand, and randomisation, on the other hand. The discussion goes beyond the Expert – Randomisation dichotomy and lays the foundation for thinking about decision-making in the modern era, and specifically the role of Artificial Intelligence.

Title: Set skilled workers free: the mobility of workers and innovation in Brazil
Abstract: 
 Skilled workers mobility is an important means by which knowledge can be transferred across regions, leading to positive effects on innovation and interactive learning. In this paper, we aim to analyse whether the interregional mobility of skilled workers has impact on innovation at the regional level. We use microdata on employment in Brazil to track the mobility of skilled workers, focusing on STEM occupations. We apply the knowledge production function approach to assess the impact of mobility on regional innovation, focusing on the interregional mobility of skilled workers in an emerging country such as Brazil. Our results show that the mobility of skilled workers has a positive impact on regional innovation and that the circulation of skilled workers can generate positive externalities due to the presence of new knowledge in a region and by increasing opportunities for interactions.

Title: Intellectual property crises induced by incumbent firms and latecomer firms’ catch-up performance: evidence from different sectoral environments
Abstract: 
 Why and how do incumbent firms (IFs) induce crises for latecomer firms? How do latecomer firms (LCFs) manage the crises, and how does crisis management affect LCFs’ catch-up? To answer these questions, we look at crises induced by IFs and LCFs’ crisis management by drawing on competitive dynamics and crisis management theories. Based on two case studies in the telecommunications sector, we find that IFs induce crises using intellectual property (IP) lawsuits (called IP crises) for hindering LCFs’ catch-up. Two LCFs achieved different catch-up performance based on the effectiveness of subsequent IP crisis management. In particular, we also find that the sectoral environments, in terms of technological and demand regimes, can act as a moderator in the relationship between the IP crisis management and the catch-up performance. We propose a more fine-grained view in catch-up studies by suggesting that the constructs ‘IFs-induced IP crises’ and ‘LCFs’ IP crisis management”.

Title: Employment externalisation in response to a temporary exogenous shock: an adjustment costs perspective
Abstract: 
 We examine the externalisation of labour as a strategic response to a temporary exogenous shock (i.e. COVID-19). Combining ideas from employment externalisation theory and the CATO framework (which are both extensions of transaction costs economics), we argue that firms that are hit harder by the COVID-19 shock are more likely to plan hiring freelancers that replace permanent employees. The mechanism we argue for is that firms seek to reposition quickly, which lowers comparative adjustment costs and reduces constraints on switching employment modes in future, depending on the extent of task co-specialisation. Analysing survey data obtained from 1,090 Danish small medium enterprises during the initial COVID-19 lockdown supports our hypotheses. Our findings contribute to the research on strategic responses to crises and provide novel understanding of why firms may externalise employment.

Title: Building synthetic worlds: lessons from the excessive infatuation and oversold disillusionment with the metaverse
Abstract: 
 The metaverse comprises a range of technologies offering shared digital experiences based on immersive virtual worlds or decentralised economies. Brands, Big Tech, and investors made huge investments in the metaverse, but users did not share their excitement and the bubble duly burst. We explore this story by drawing on a wide range of data sources and first-hand knowledge. We consider the metaverse as a set of overlapping, partly competing ecosystems and expand the lens of industry architecture to Ecosystem Architecture to examine the rules, roles, and responsibilities involved. We find that incumbent firms rushed to embrace the metaverse in the hope of pre-empting disruption and safeguarding their competitive position, leading to over-investment. Greed among ecosystem orchestrators impeded contributors from creating value, while persistent technological shortcomings impaired the user experience. Our study throws new light on the dynamics of innovation and technology hypes and the challenges involved in cultivating and coordinating ecosystems.

Title: Open social innovation: taking stock and moving forward*
Abstract: 
 Open forms of organising innovation bear great potential to address societal challenges, such as the climate crisis. Existing approaches to open social innovation (OSI) draw on a corporate and organisation-centric open innovation model as a blueprint for addressing social and ecological problems. However, such problems are ‘wicked’ and ‘complex’ in nature and thus require concerted efforts from a diverse set of stakeholders, including businesses, government agencies, non-profits and communities. Based on a review of the open-, user- and social-innovation literature, this essay traces the evolution from an organisation-centric view (OSI 1.0) to a multi-stakeholder, cross-sectoral perspective (OSI 2.0). More specifically, we understand OSI as a concerted effort undertaken by multiple stakeholders from various sectors throughout the social innovation process, from diagnosing societal challenges, to developing ideas for how to solve problems, creating solutions, effectively scaling solutions and generating impact. We sharpen the terminology for OSI 2.0 and specify design dimensions for the effective orchestration of collaboration and coordination, and outline key areas for future research. Our objective is to foster dialogue between open- and user-innovation and social-innovation research.

Title: Unlocking innovation for net zero: constraints, enablers, and firm-level transition strategies
Abstract: 
 Transition pathways for net zero encompass seemingly insurmountable innovation challenges for the scaling of less mature technological solutions such as hydrogen, materials substitution, and electrification as well as societal challenges to increase the market acceptability of these solutions. In this article, we present a conceptual framework which provides a firm-level perspective on net-zero innovation which has four unique characteristics, i.e. it is complex, systemic, urgent, and directional. The framework shows that the input, process, and output constraints that incumbent firms face in the net-zero transition can be tackled through four firm-level innovation levers – i.e. recombinative, collaborative, integrative, and socio-cognitive capabilities – which, in concert, act as enablers for firms to address these net-zero constraints. We conclude the article by outlining the framework’s main insights for firms’ innovation strategies for net zero and the policy implications. We also propose avenues for future research on net-zero innovation.

Title: On the resilience of innovation systems
Abstract: 
 Mission-oriented innovation policies address urgent societal challenges, often through rapid technological upscaling. However, upscaling may endanger the resilience of an innovation system by limiting variety. A resilient innovation system is ambitious in scaling up while intelligently fostering variety. To assess resilience, a country’s technology portfolio needs to be contextualised against global trends. We introduce contextualised variety to uncover threats, windows of opportunity and poorly allocated resources and evaluate the maturing Dutch offshore renewable energy innovation system based on 236 R&D projects 12,000 industry contracts and 34 interviews. Our results indicate that the Netherlands invests in variety for its installation sector, bolstering resilience, while it neglects its foundations sector, indicating a threat. The Netherlands further supports a non-existent traditional wind turbine sector, suggesting poor resource allocation. However, it backs disruptive wind turbines, a window of opportunity contingent on upon concerted innovation policy. This framework demonstrates how to evaluate the resilience of any innovation system.

Title: What drives project success in online labour markets? A bilateral perspective on freelancers and clients
Abstract: 
 Despite some advantages over traditional (offline) labour markets – such as lower search costs, better matching and improved monitoring – online labour markets (OLMs) have not taken off as initially expected. In this paper, we study the challenges of managing projects in OLMs and discuss factors that limit perceived success both from the perspective of the employer and the freelancer. Using psychological contract theory, we theorise how common OLM features including contracts with virtual monitoring, multi-freelancer projects, and simultaneous projects by a client trigger the perception of psychological contract breach among OLM participants and reduce perceived project success for both participants. We test these hypotheses using an extensive dataset with more than 143,000 transactions on the world’s largest freelancing platform, Upwork, and find that – contrary to predictions from agency theory – projects equipped with strict freelancer monitoring (hourly-pay contracts) and projects enabling peer comparison (multi-freelancer projects or multiple simultaneous projects), lead to lower perceived project success both from the freelancer’s and the client’s perspective. Our work implies that transactions on online labour markets should not be viewed solely as agency relations, and that some features that supposedly reduce agency costs and improve efficiency on OLMs come at the cost of triggering the perception of psychological contract breach.

Title: Founder Personality and Start-up Subsidies
Abstract: 
 Start-up subsidies play an important role in supporting start-up innovation and performance. However, what characteristics help and hinder start-ups to seek public subsidies remains unclear. We study whether and how founder personality links to entrepreneurs’ seeking of start-up subsidies. We argue that greater founders’ openness, extraversion, and entrepreneurial orientation enhance seeking of start-up subsidies, while greater founders’ agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism inhibit it. Additionally, we argue that entrepreneurial orientation plays a mediating role in the relationship between big five personality traits and start-up subsidies. We find evidence for a positive role of founder entrepreneurial orientation. While we find little evidence for a direct association between founders’ big five personality and subsidies, we document an indirect link through entrepreneurial orientation. We also show that personality is not associated with bank financing and borrowing from family and friends while the patterns for venture capital financing are similar to those for subsidies.

Title: Open innovation during the 2008 financial crisis
Abstract: 
 We examine how firms adjusted their open innovation strategy in response to the 2008 global financial crisis. While previous research has analysed the advantages, drawbacks, and methods of open innovation, less is known about how firms adjust their open innovation strategy in response to major economic shocks. Guided by theories of organisational learning and behavioural theory of the firm, we examine the impact of demand shock on firm openness to external knowledge. To test our hypotheses, we analyse a unique dataset on innovation in Swiss firms during the financial crisis. Our findings show that firms persisted with open innovation during the crisis, but the nature of the shock had a differential effect on how firms searched for external knowledge. This research contributes to a better understanding of the role of open innovation in times of crisis and provides insights into how firms adjust their innovation strategies in response to economic shocks.

Title: Imitation or innovation? New ventures’ NPD strategies in emerging markets
Abstract: 
 New product development (NPD) plays a pivotal role in the survival, growth, and performance of new ventures; existing studies, however, have paid scant attention to new ventures’ trade-offs between imitative and innovative NPD strategies, particularly in emerging markets. This study explores the relative impact of innovative and imitative NPD on new venture performance and their contingency across different entrepreneurial motivations and institutional environments in China. The findings based on a multilevel dataset from China indicate that innovative NPD has a stronger positive effect on new venture performance than imitative NPD. In addition, opportunity-motivated entrepreneurship and privatisation enhance the effect of innovative NPD whereas attenuate the efficacy of imitative NPD.

Title: Crisis-induced innovation and crisis-induced innovators
Abstract: 
 The literature on the persistence of innovation focuses on whether firms reduce, increase, or maintain their innovation activity over time, and in particular through cyclical downturns and crisis periods. What this literature tends to underemphasise is that innovation is also a tool firms can actively use to manage the unforeseen circumstances that arise in times of crisis. We argue and find that this kind of crisis-induced innovation displays patterns that are both similar to, and different from, the innovation behaviours found in more stable periods. More firms turn to innovation, but with important differences in intensity and expected long-run returns. Pre-crisis experience in innovation and organisational agility are key characteristics leading to higher levels of innovation in response to a crisis, higher likelihood of increasing the resources allocated to innovation during a crisis, and higher expected post-crisis value from the innovations undertaken in response to a crisis.

Title: A tale of two cities: mission-oriented innovation policy in China’s green industries
Abstract: 
 Mission-oriented innovation policy (MOIP) has become an important means of fostering green transition in many countries. However, few studies have focused on how the various challenges unique to developing and emerging economies affect the design and implementation of MOIPs. Through a longitudinal comparative analysis of China’s two green industries, our study contributes to understanding MOIP instrument mixes within the context of developing countries and industrial differences. First, we identify a four-dimensional framework of MOIP instruments aligned with the existing literature, while also highlighting China’s policymaking features under authoritarian yet adaptive governance. An in-depth analysis of the implementation of MOIP instrument mixes throughout niche development uncovered dynamic mechanisms, industry differences, and complex local government responses. Our work suggests that, with an adaptive instrument mixes that focuses on both types of missions and the local institutional context, MOIP can potentially promote green transition in developing countries.

Title: Can we win the “names game”? tactics for large-scale demographic research in entrepreneurship and innovation
Abstract: 
 Scholars of entrepreneurship and innovation are eager to understand the role of demographics: characterising the representation of women and minorities in publishing, patenting, and startups. Yet progress is hindered by the lack of demographic data in many relevant databases, or the unknown reliability of data fields that are available. Usually knowing little beyond the person’s name, researchers often rely on name algorithms to assign gender and/or race. High error rates can occur from such algorithms unless coupled with image recognition. Providers of public goods should prioritise funding the creation of demographic libraries for scientists, entrepreneurs, and inventors.

Title: The emergence of an entrepreneurial ecosystem: the interplay between early entrepreneurial activity and public policy in the Korean online gaming industry
Abstract: 
 As drivers of economic growth, entrepreneurial ecosystems are an important focus of research. We propose a new theoretical perspective, in which the formation of entrepreneurial ecosystems can be tied the provision of pre-entry capabilities and complementary assets that are generic to participants within a regional entrepreneurial ecosystem but difficult to access to firms outside it. We apply this framework through a study of the formation of an entrepreneurial ecosystem focused on online games in South Korea. Through comparative research, we show that access to pre-entry capabilities was widely available across the online gaming industry, but that Korea was unique during the late 1990s in creating infrastructure policies to provide widespread access to broadband internet, which became an important complementary asset for Korean firms. A focus on mechanisms by which value drivers become available to entrepreneurs within a region is a promising approach to explain the formation of entrepreneurial ecosystems.

Title: Does digital economy policy benefit green innovation? Evidence from heavily polluting industries in China
Abstract: 
 This study investigates the impact of China’s Digital Economic Policy (DEP) on industries’ green innovation. It contributes to the existing literature on technology policy evaluation by challenging the assumption that this impact is similar across different industries. To achieve this, a conceptual framework is proposed, highlighting the asymmetric influence of the DEP on green innovation. By analysing panel data from 35 Chinese industrial subsectors, including 15 heavily polluting industries (HPIs) and 20 non-HPIs, between 2010 and 2020, this study reveals that the implementation of the DEP results in significantly higher levels of green innovation of HPIs as opposed to non-HPIs. The DEP’s positive impact on green innovation of HPIs is primarily facilitated through industrial structure upgrading. Moreover, this study finds that the DEP has a greater effect on green innovation of HPIs with a lower state-owned ratio, higher total factor productivity or higher capital dependence.

Title: The impact of the EU General data protection regulation on product innovation
Abstract: 
 In May 2018, a new regulation, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), on data protection came in the European Union into force. It requires firms to update their data protection strategy and may complicate the use of data related to individuals, with potentially adverse effects on product innovation. This study provides evidence on the likely impacts of the GDPR on innovation. We employ a conditional difference-in-differences research design and estimate firm fixed-effects models based on data from the German innovation survey. We find that the GDPR led to a substantial shift from radical to incremental product innovation. Our finding indicates that the GDPR stimulated firms to re-organise their data management in a more profound way than they would have done in the absence of the regulation, opening up opportunities for improving existing products. The additional resources needed for complying with the GDPR limited their capacity for developing entirely new products.

Title: Overcoming the liability of patenting in early-stage ventures with market orientation
Abstract: 
 Early-stage ventures often face bounded rationality from a lack of experience as well as limited resources. A strategic choice to patent a firm’s innovations to prevent competitor infringement involves significant resource commitments. We hypothesise that for early-stage ventures, having a patent could create liability on short-term financial performance; however, higher levels of market orientation could overcome it. We find support for our hypotheses using a sample of early-stage ventures that apply to business accelerators for support. This study contributes to the extant literature on innovation and entrepreneurship, as well as on market orientation, to show that for early-stage ventures, a potential liability of patenting exists, but it can be mitigated by higher levels of market orientation.

Title: Innovation under constraints: the role of open innovation in Ghana
Abstract: 
 This paper analyses Low-Income Country (LICs) firms’ use of open innovation (OI) in overcoming various innovation constraints. We disaggregate local and foreign sources of innovation using a new measure of international openness. A survey of 501 manufacturing firms in Ghana reveals that OI is employed to address cost, knowledge, management, and market barriers. Knowledge and cost constraints lead to a broader and deeper search whereas cost barriers lead to a greater domestic search. Firms that faced market barriers significantly search more internationally while those facing infrastructure barriers tend to search less broadly and deeply for external knowledge. The substantial informal sector in Ghana hampers OI. Results also indicate an inverted-U-shaped relationship between the breadth of openness and innovation performance. This paper contributes to the literature by providing the first large firm-level survey-based evidence of OI in a LICs context, and by introducing a new measure of international innovation openness.

Title: Open knowledge disclosure and firm value: a signalling theory perspective
Abstract: 
 A growing number of firms are openly disclosing knowledge through academic journals and conferences; however, the impact of this practice on their market value needs further research. From a signalling theory perspective, we investigate the relationship between open knowledge disclosure and firm value and identify potential contingency factors. We propose that open knowledge disclosure conveys a firm’s technical capability and commitment to open science, consequently contributing to its market value. Drawing upon data from listed companies within China’s information and communication technology sector, we confirm that open knowledge disclosure enhances firm value. Furthermore, this enhancement is more pronounced for small firms, young firms, private firms, firms with few patents, firms drafting few technical standards, or firms operating in an immature technology market. Our findings suggest that firms, especially those facing high information asymmetry or lacking alternative signals, can increase their market value by sending positive signals through open knowledge disclosure.

Title: Patent assertion entities and follow-on innovation. Evidence from patent acquisitions at the USPTO
Abstract: 
 Patent monetisation is an important source of revenues worldwide. This activity is increasingly carried out by patent assertion entities (PAE), which are at the origin of about 40% of infringement actions filed in the United States. This paper uses an original database of US patents reporting PAE patent acquisitions. We document two key empirical facts about the presence of PAEs in the market for patents. First, PAEs build large patent portfolios and contribute significantly to patent transfers in the US. Second, their impact on follow-on innovation is, on average, negative. With a series of dynamic diff-in-diffs analyses, we estimate a significant post-transfer drop in forward citations received by patents acquired by PAEs. This drop is not immediate but takes some years to materialise. Heterogeneity tests show that our results are driven by acquisitions of old and highly cited patents, as well as by patent acquisitions by large patent aggregators.

Title: When opposites attract: a review and synthesis of corporate-startup collaboration
Abstract: 
 Research on corporate-startup coll aboration has accelerated during the last two decades, and scholars have started to distinguish underlying drivers and challenges when these two types of partners engage to innovate. Despite accumulating insights, however, the body of literature on corporate-startup collaboration is rather fragmented with little integration, impeding the extent to which different perspectives can inform and draw from each other in finding ways to improve the collaboration between corporates and startups. In this paper, we conduct a systematic literature review and apply a paradox perspective to bring together separated domains of research about corporate-startup collaboration. In particular, our framework identifies four organisational tensions that manifest in corporate-startup collaboration and explains distinct coping mechanisms across different levels of analysis. Our emergent framework highlights the multifaceted nature of corporate-startup collaboration and provides various new avenues of research moving forward.

Title: Corporate Venture Capital and Startup Outcomes: The Roles of Investment Timing and Multiple Corporate Investors
Abstract: 
 The effects of corporate venture capital (CVC) investments on ventures’ revenues and innovation-related outcomes depend on the characteristics of the investors and on the dynamics of the investment process. Recently, venture financing literature has highlighted the importance of investment timing as a driver for investee ventures development and success. Building on the literatures on complementary assets and relative absorptive capacity, we explore how the timing of CVC investments affects ventures’ revenues and R&D intensity. Using a dataset of Norwegian ventures in knowledge-intensive industries, we find evidence for a differential effect of CVC investments when comparing a venture’s early- and late-stage, showing that investments received in late-stage increase ventures’ revenues, but decrease ventures’ R&D intensity. Further, we find that syndication with multiple CVC investors amplifies this effect. This study contributes to the understanding of the CVC-venture relationship and the impact on venture’s post-CVC outcomes.

Title: Introduction to special issue on corporate and startup collaborations in an age of disruption: looking beyond the dyad
Abstract: 
 Established organisations and new ventures search for knowledge in the face of disruption. The activation of corporate-startup collaborations facilitates access to new and complementary knowledge. This type of collaboration has become increasingly popular as a corporate response to technological and market disruptions. However, there is growing evidence of the multiplicity of outcomes, intrinsically related to the broad diversity of forms and collaboration models. In this special issue, we include five contributions that give an overview of the phenomenon. We explore theoretical lenses that help us understand the potential tensions emerging from asymmetrical inter-organisational collaborations and possible solutions to make those collaborations successful. We delineate the theoretical and practical contributions of the papers and summarise the research opportunities that emerge around a phenomenon that keeps evolving.

Title: Corporation–start-up collaboration: how can the tensions stemming from asymmetries be managed?
Abstract: 
 Corporation-start-up collaboration (CSC) generates strategic and managerial challenges. Building on resource dependence theory (RDT), this study examines these challenges through the lenses of asymmetries and tensions. Although existing research has investigated several types of tensions and mechanisms, the tensions generated by asymmetries in CSC and their management remain underexplored. Conducting exploratory qualitative research, we investigated five innovation projects involving Enedis, i.e., the leading French energy network provider, and five start-ups with different characteristics. Adopting a dynamic approach, we elucidated seven types of tensions stemming from six asymmetries requiring adequate management. This management relies on a hybrid model, combining three formal and two informal mechanisms. Our study thus contributes to the literature on CSC. Considering asymmetries and innovation process phases, we provide guidance for managing tensions in collaborative innovation projects.

Title: Helping start-ups and public organisations to align: Co-producing the co-creation context in a public hospital
Abstract: 
 Incubation facilitates innovation performance and knowledge production for large organisations, while allowing start-ups to connect with potential users who hold valuable information. However, aligning the goals of parent organisations and hosted start-ups in co-creation partnerships remains a challenge, particularly in the complex and institutional context of public organisations. To fill the research gap, this paper draws on the co-production theory of support to explore how a large public organisation co-produces an adaptive context for co-creation with start-ups. Based on a 12-month ethnography in a public university hospital centre, the unique characteristics and complexities of co-creation initiatives in public organisations are explored by focusing on the multi-stakeholder nature of the innovation process. Following a processual approach, we unpack the evolving dynamics of managing tensions through the co-creation process. The article contributes to the understanding of public incubators, compensatory practices in asymmetrical co-creation relationships, and the co-production of incubation support in public organisations.

Title: Managing start-up – incumbent digital solution co-creation: a four-phase process for intermediation in innovative contexts
Abstract: 
 As incumbents strive to collaborate with start-ups in the pursuit of cutting-edge digital solutions, the complexities posed by disparate partners and their innovative endeavours often lead to intricate tensions. Our research underscores the critical role of innovation intermediaries in enabling a successful digital co-creation, yet a deeper understanding of this novel and evolving context is required. Through a comprehensive study of two innovation intermediaries, five incumbent companies, and eleven start-ups, we shed light on how intermediaries can effectively mitigate the hard-to-manage tensions that emerge. Our analysis uncovers three primary tensions: incompatible digital co-creation cultures, divergent digital innovation operations, and misaligned technical capabilities. We further propose a four-phase process for innovation intermediation, including the establishment of digital co-creation foundations, catalysing digital innovation projects, orchestrating the co-creation process, and scaling the resulting outcomes.
