Barriers for Co-creating and Innovating in a Netgora Environment
2009
This research is focused on the barriers and their reasons concerning collaborative innovating and co-creating in networked societies called netgoras. As knowledge is seen as the basis of innovation, and an important factor for our economies, we need to be able to create, leverage and use this benefit together. The results give evidence that people have barriers on several levels originating from different reasons. It is necessary to foreground the reasons for the barriers restraining people from co-operation in innovation societies in network environments.
Service innovation methodologies I : what can we learn from service innovation and new service development research? : report no 1 from the TIPVIS-pr…
2007
This report presents a review of service innovation and service development literature. The main purpose of the review is to identify normative implications for service innovation methodologies. Three separate reviews are conducted and reported; an open search review based on specific search terms of relevance to service innovation methodologies, a review of articles in four of the most influential journals on service innovation/service development, and a review focusing contributions applying normative approaches and/or principles. Some of the main conclusions from the review support previous findings that the service innovation process is less formal and that it is more difficult to ident…
Code of Breakthrough Innovations
2019
Innovations make a significant contribution to economies, while at the same time 85% of innovations in the market are unsuccessful. This is a record high number of unsuccessful innovations, considering the high macro-level support of innovations and researches, devoted to innovations. The study analyzes in detail the technological essence of innovation process, its constituent components, the elements of commercially viable innovations and their interrelations with the aim to find the common thread of successful innovations in the market. The result is the conclusion that there is a specific algorithm that is repeated in the context of commercially successful innovations. The study offers t…
Microinnovations among the paradigms of innovation research - what are the common ground issues
2011
If we consider innovations as human action, this research has been dominated on one hand by social and policy making processes and, on the other, by organizational management thinking. In this study, we shall introduce a third perspective to innovation as action, namely, innovation as a human way of thinking. We claim that innovations are always made by thinking people, and therefore we should also look innovations in concepts of scientific research to human thought processes. Since societal and organizational paradigms concern innovations as relatively large wholes, we term the research on these paradigms as macroinnovation research.Here, we study the relations of microinnovations research…
Strategic Leadership and Leaders in Entrepreneurial Contexts: A Nexus for Innovation and Impact Missed?
2015
Research at the nexus of strategic leadership and entrepreneurial contexts has been encouraging, but some of the more innovative and impactful questions remain underexplored. The purpose of the Special Issue was to provide a forum for works that build on the constraints, challenges, characteristics, and other salient elements of entrepreneurial settings to advance theory and testing on strategic leadership effects, as well as enrich our understanding of firm behaviour and outcomes in entrepreneurial contexts. We first provide an overview and background of the Special Issue. We then provide a summary of the process and outcomes, including a synopsis of the accepted manuscripts. The discussio…

Innovation capabilities: What are their characteristics and how can they be conceptualized?
2017
Purpose – It has been argued that firms may utilize their resources and capabilities through the development of innovations in the form of new products, services or processes, and empirical research has confirmed that there is a positive relationship between the implementation of innovation activities and future performance of firms. Some firms prove to be better at reproducing innovation success than other firms, and the capacity to do so can be framed as an innovation capability. However, the term innovation capability is ambiguously treated in extant literature. There exist several different definitions of the concept and the distinction between innovation capabilities and other types of…
External knowledge sourcing in different national settings: a comparison of electronics establishments in Britain and France
2004
04001; International audience; In a detailed comparison of matched samples of electronics establishments in Britain and France, this paper finds that the two samples of establishments were operating in distinctively different national labour markets for engineers and scientists, reflecting structural differences in national higher education systems and a far higher level of individual mobility between enterprises in Britain than is found in France. These differences were found to have very little effect on quantitative measures of establishments' external research interactions which tended to reflect other national-institutional differences such as continued government support for public la…
Proposals to innovate and investigate about understanding of the environment in Pre-school and Primary Education.
2017
Para hacer frente a los obstáculos institucionales que frenan las iniciativas docentes se han editado en los últimos años algunos manuales que buscan desarrollar actividades de formación (lecturas, debates, tareas de observación en las aulas) para facilitar la toma de decisiones del futuro docente de Educación Infantil y Primaria. Algunos manuales se presentan como síntesis de trabajos específicos, procedentes en algunos casos de propuestas de innovación y, en otros casos, de investigaciones, bien sean Tesis doctorales o bien otros formatos de carácter formal e informal. Pero, por otra parte, aparecen manuales que relacionan las propuestas de investigación e innovación. Es el caso de los li…
