Academic Spin-Offs and Technological Innovation Diffusion In Less Successful Areas: A Viable System Approach

2011

This paper aims to analyze the role that academic spin offs play in enhancing and speeding up the development and transfer of technological innovation, particularly in less successful areas. The focus on todays’ knowledge-based economy, has increasingly shown that innovation is a social process (Gibbons et al, 1994; Chesbrough, 2003 and 2011) rooted on the interactions and knowledge exchanges among a variety of actors (such as firms, universities, research organizations, government institutions, and so on). Each of these actors is endowed with idiosyncratic and specialized sets of resources, knowledge and capabilities. As a result, the critical determinants of competitive/innovative advanta…

ENHANCE KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN AGRI-FOOD SECTOR: SOME PRELIMINARY CONSIDERATIONS

2022

In recent years, corporate museums are becoming a very widespread organizational phenomenon. In the academic debate, studies on the corporate museum are few and focus exclusively on a communication and marketing perspective. In academic debate, only a small number of studies have focuses on this phenomenon from the knowledge management (KM) perspective. The corporate museum can become a place of representation of organizational memory and a source of knowledge and innovation. In management and organization studies, define organizational memory as a repository of knowledge and KM practices (Grant, 1997; Alavi & Leidner; 2001; Antunes & Pinheiro, 2020; Zahra, et al., 2020). In this st…

M-App & Health Knowledge Management – Virtual Artfacts between Doctor & Patient

2018

Knowledge is more and more a strategic resource for health or- ganizations while information and communication technology earns an important role for sharing knowledge and informations among people in and out organizations. These conditions satisfy specific demands related to the new emerging information needs, asking for a change in relation- ships and effective communication. So, the Medicine Apps represent an emerging and rapidly developing framework for health system, able to contribute to its quality and efficiency. The same Union European and U.S. Supervisory Authority activated in the last years an appropriate study in order to control the Medical Applications downloaded directly thr…

Working with Traditional Knowledge: Information for Botanical Fieldwork

2012

Botanical research can often involve access to traditional knowledge, as well as to botanical material held or managed by Indigenous and Local Communities (ILCs). There is a large and growing body of local, national and international laws, declarations and codes of conduct to guide best practice in this area. Researchers and students must be aware of this changing framework before collecting material and information in areas inhabited by ILCs.

Responsibility in uncertain times: an institutional perspective on precaution

2008

Precaution is a key issue in environmental governance. Variously defined, intensively debated and introduced in many regulations, its meaning, scope and application remain problematic. This article argues that the controversy on precaution is a matter of culturally patterned expectations concerning the production and use of knowledge and the related social positions and responsibilities. The way uncertainty and its role in the policy process are understood is crucial. For some precaution is a flawed concept, to be accommodated to the current expert-based cooperative scheme. For others it is a major innovation requiring a rearrangement of the latter. Precautionary policies may evolve in dif…

Which regions produce the most innovation policy research?

2022

[EN] This article uses the data indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus databases up to and including the year 2020 to map leading regions and trending topics in academic innovation policy research. The country analysis highlights four leading regions in this research field: Western Europe (led by the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, and Spain), North America (led by the USA), Scandinavia (led by Sweden and Denmark), and Asia-Pacific (led by China and Australia). The most common keywords are used to develop a conceptual framework. Applying the Tree of Science approach, we classify the most influential studies into three categories: foundational studies (the roots), structural …

Content analysis of Spanish judgements addressing the sexual transmission of HIV: 1996-2016.

2018

This study performed a content analysis of the language of the Spanish judgements addressing the sexual transmission of HIV in order to determine its possible interrelationship with HIV-related stigma. All judgements and writs dictated by Spanish penal and civil jurisdictions between 1981 and December 2016 were obtained through a systematic search of the Spanish legal databases. The inclusion criterion was that the possible transmission of HIV was judged as an individual infraction, regardless of whether other infractions were involved. Twenty judgements were selected and analysed through direct content analysis assisted by the software MAXQDA 12. The majority of the cases (85%) were brough…
