TL;DR: In this article, an integrative framework is proposed to advance management research on technological platforms, bridging two theoretical perspectives: economics, which sees platforms as double-sided markets, and engineering design, which see platforms as technological architectures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of context in stimulating entrepreneurial innovation and its impact on the outcomes of entrepreneurial innovation is examined, as well as its role in stimulating such activity, and the relationship between contexts and entrepreneurial innovation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce the concept of National Systems of Entrepreneurship and provide an approach to characterizing them, which are fundamentally resource allocation systems that are driven by individual-level opportunity pursuit, through the creation of new ventures, with this activity and its outcomes regulated by country specific institutional characteristics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors find a concave relationship between firms' breadth of external search and formal collaboration for innovation, and the strength of the firms' appropriability strategies for innovation.

TL;DR: The contribution and evolution of open innovation since the publication of Chesbrough's 2003 Open Innovation book, and suggest likely directions going forward, are reviewed in this paper, where they link the articles of this special issue to three key trends in open innovation research: better measurement, resolving the role of appropriability and linking that research to the management and economics literature.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors revisited two concepts from institutional theory that enable an explicit identification of socio-technical regimes and more generally a specification of the "semi-coherence" of socio technical systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the knowledge and business ecosystem and the financial support network in the region of Flanders and found that the knowledge ecosystem is well structured and concentrated around a number of central actors while the business ecosystem is almost non-existent at the local level.

TL;DR: The paper provides an overview of the disambiguation method, assesses its accuracy, and calculates network measures based on co-authorship and collaboration variables, and illustrates the potential for large-scale innovation studies across time and space with visualizations of inventor mobility across the United States.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a comparative framework for managing innovation, where they delineate and discuss four categories of open innovation governance forms and compare them with each other and with two internal or closed forms of innovation governance (authority and consensus-based hierarchy).

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of regional cluster composition in the economic performance of industries, clusters and regions is evaluated. And the authors find that the presence of strong clusters in a region enhances growth opportunities in other industries and clusters.

TL;DR: In this article, a qualitative analysis of electric vehicle projects of key industry players over a five-year period (2006-2010) was carried out to identify four business model archetypes and traces their evolution over time.

TL;DR: A growing amount of scientific research is done in an open collaborative fashion, in projects sometimes referred to as "crowd science", "citizen science" or "networked science" as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the open innovation practices of business services firms and then consider the implications for open innovation of the adoption of a service inclusive business model by manufacturing firms.

TL;DR: The authors examined the relationship between outside-in open innovation and the financial performance of RD however these partnerships are associated with a lower performance for loosely managed projects and science-based partnerships were associated with higher project revenues for loosely-managed projects only.

TL;DR: A novel approach to identifying emerging topics in science and technology using two large scale models of the scientific literature based on direct citation and co-citation to nominate emerging topics using a difference function that rewards clusters that are new and growing rapidly.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of governmental support policies on the innovation of SMEs in the regional strategic industries in South Korea is explored, and a positive relationship exists between the technological development assistance by the Korean government and patent acquisitions and new design registrations of regional SMEs.

TL;DR: The authors review literatures that inform entrepreneurial innovation, paying particular attention to different conceptualizations of contexts, and add to constitutive approaches by examining how entrepreneurs contextualize innovation through narratives, and discuss the implications of this perspective for policy, entrepreneurs, and research.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of incumbent regime coalitions, grassroots coalitions in support of green transition policies, and countervailing industrial power was studied in the U.S. case.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the evolution of the German feed-in tariff (FIT) system for solar photovoltaic power, a highly effective and widely copied policy instrument targeted at fostering the diffusion and development of renewable energy technologies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors develop a triple embeddedness framework (TEF), which conceptualizes firms-in-industries as embedded in two external (economic and socio-political) environments and in an industry regime which mediates strategic actions towards the external environments.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of intermediaries working between actors, such as producers and users, entrepreneurs and adopters, idea generators and funders, has been examined in system-level transitions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors connect the resource-based view and its dynamic capability extension to introduce absorptive capacity (ACAP) as a moderator of the relationship between EO and firm performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the value-appropriation and value-creation implications of R&D collaboration resulting in the co-ownership of intellectual property (i.e. co-patents).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine how the university department context influences the spin-off process from the perspectives of both the spinoff venture and the department and find that small differences in initial departmental support from management and senior academics for gaining commercial experience and spending time exploring the commercial opportunity were seen to have a major impact upon the subsequent spinoff development path.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze relevant actors, networks and processes in technological innovation systems (TISs) from a relational perspective on space and develop an analytical framework which allows investigating innovation processes (or 'functions') of a TIS at and across different spatial scales.

TL;DR: The authors synthesize across literature streams examining each phenomena to document distinctions between firms originating from different knowledge contexts and integrate the knowledge context into Teece's (1986) theoretical framework identifying factors that impact a firm's ability to profit from innovation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze organizations' attempts to entice external contributors to submit suggestions for future organizational action, and find that these efforts are likely to wither and die.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that narrative research offers an innovative, holistic approach to a better understanding of socio-ecological systems and the improved, participatory design of local adaptation policies.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of government-managed and independent venture capital (IVC) funds on the sales and employee growth of European high-tech entrepreneurial firms was assessed using a new European Union-sponsored firm-level longitudinal dataset, and the main statistically robust and economically relevant positive effect is exerted by IVC investors on firm sales growth.

TL;DR: This work empirically test predictions on patent value identifiers on real-world auction prices and finds empirical support for forward citations and the patent's family size, making it optimistic that with increased directly observed patent value, such models can be useful tools in patent valuation.
