An Overview of Innovation
TLDR
The process of innovation must be viewed as a series of changes in a complete system not only of hardware, but also of market environment, production facilities and knowledge, and the social contexts of the innovation organization as discussed by the authors.Abstract:
Models that depict innovation as a smooth, well-behaved linear process badly misspecify the nature and direction of the causal factors at work. Innovation is complex, uncertain, somewhat disorderly, and subject to changes of many sorts. Innovation is also difficult to measure and demands close coordination of adequate technical knowledge and excellent market judgment in order to satisfy economic, technological, and other types of constraints—all simultaneously. The process of innovation must be viewed as a series of changes in a complete system not only of hardware, but also of market environment, production facilities and knowledge, and the social contexts of the innovation organization.read more

Environmental innovation: a concise review of the literature
TL;DR: The concept of eco-innovation has been studied extensively in the literature as discussed by the authors, with the focus on the diffusion of innovation in the context of green technologies. But, as stated by the authors, l'innovation environnementale (ou "ecoinnovation") is not a concept that can be defined a priori.

University–industry relationships and open innovation: Towards a research agenda
Markus Perkmann,Kathryn Walsh +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the diffusion and characteristics of collaborative relationships between universities and industry are explored, and a research agenda informed by an open innovation perspective is developed. But the authors focus on the effects of university-industry links on innovation-specific variables, such as patents or firm innovativeness, and the dynamics of these relationships remain under-researched.
