Preconditions for successful social innovation in nursing homes: Managers' perspectives - a qualitative interview studyIn this article, we investigate preconditions for social innovation in institution-based elderly care in Norway and Denmark. The article draws on two semi-structured interviews and one focus-group interview. The interviewees are managers in elderly-care facilities that are known to be proficient with regards to innovation. The analysis point to three principles managers describe as being pertinent to successful social innovation. Firstly, an overall theme across the interviews was that the managers underscored the importance of eagerness and willingness to change as a prere…
Energizing Collaborative Industry-Academia Learning: A Present Case and Future Visions
2022
AbstractIn Industry-Academia Collaborations (IAC) both academic, scientific research results and industrial practitioner findings and experiences are produced. Both types of knowledge should be gathered, codified, and disseminated efficiently and effectively. This paper investigates a recent (2014–2017) large-scale IAC R&D&I program case (Need for Speed, N4S) from a learning perspective. It was one of the programs in the Finnish SHOK (Strategic Centres of Science, Technology, and Innovation) system. The theoretical bases are in innovation management, knowledge management, and higher education (university) pedagogy. In the future, IAC projects should be more and more commonplace sinc…

Negli ultimi decenni, infatti, abbiamo assistito a una progressiva apertura e proiezione verso il mondo esterno di quelli che possiamo definire i “luoghi della memoria”. Artificial lighting needs to return with full titles in the expertize of those committed to tackle the issue of enriching archeological sites, especially in the mediterranean area. As a matter of fact, in the last ten years, we have aided an openminded progression towards the external world of those who we can call “pl…
Neo Open Innovation in the Digital Economy : Harnessing Soft Innovation Resources
2018
Successive increases in R&D that creates new functionality are essential for global competitiveness. However, unexpectedly, as a consequence of the two-faced nature of information and communication technology (ICT), excessive R&D results in a marginal productivity decline leading to a decrease in digital value creation. In order to overcome such a dilemma, global ICT firms have been endeavoring to transform themselves into disruptive business model. Neo open innovation that harnesses soft innovation resources may be a solution to this critical question. On the basis of an empirical analysis focusing on forefront endeavors to this dilemma by global ICT firms, this paper attempted to demonstr…
Transition to Digital Distribution Platforms and Business Model Evolution
2019
How do business models evolve when technology-based firms move from physical distribution channels to digital distribution platforms? This is an important question, since digitalization of distribution platforms provides new opportunities to expand the reach and customer base of technology-based firms. Based on an in-depth multi-case study of four Japanese high-tech firms, we seek to expand our understanding of digital transformation and business model literature. Our findings indicate that that through digital transformation, the case firms’ business models evolved toward more constant interaction with the market, in particular through digital platforms. This interaction includes growing a…
Transformative direction of R&D– lessons from Amazon's endeavor
2019
Amazon jumped up to the world's top Research and Development (R&D) firm in 2017. Such a rapid and notable increase in R&D investment has raised the question of a new R&D definition in the digital economy, which Amazon insists includes both “routine or periodic alterations” (traditionally classified as non-R&D) and “significant improvement” (classified as R&D), as Amazon transforms the former into the latter during its R&D process. A convincing answer to this question will give rise to insightful suggestions regarding a new concept of R&D in the digital economy. peerReviewed

Modelos lingüísticos subyacentes a la investigación sobre innovación educativa
2013
El objetivo de este trabajo es revisar los modelos lingüísticos que pueden rastrearse en el discurso institucional sobre la innovación educativa universitaria, especialmente la que se basa en la aplicación de las TIC. Se analiza el modelo claramente monológico que subyace al modelo SCORM, y se reivindica la necesidad de elegir un modelo que sea compatible con las prácticas reales de enseñanza, que son necesariamente interactivas y no monológicas. The aim of this paper is to revise the teaching and learning dimension that university educational innovation based on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has to offer, with special focus on the linguistic model associated with it and th…
