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

Forms of knowledge and modes of innovation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared two modes of innovation, Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) and Doing, Using and Interacting (DUI), and found that firms combining the two modes are more likely to innovate new products or services than those relying primarily on one mode or the other.

National Innovation Systems: Analytical Concept and Development Tool
TL;DR: In this article, a core of the innovation system is defined and it is illustrated that it is necessary both to understand micro-behaviour in the core and understand the wider setting within which the core operates.

Leveraging External Sources of Innovation: A Review of Research on Open Innovation
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of prior research on how firms leverage external sources of innovation is presented, which suggests a four-phase model in which a linear process of obtaining, integrating, integrating and commercializing external innovations is combined with interaction between the firm and its collaborators.

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.

Long-term collaboration between university and industry: A case study of nanotechnology development in Japan
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the little researched aspect of less explicit and more informal collaboration through two cases of nanotechnology development in Japan and revealed that university and industry collaborate at a deep level, integrating various disciplines of knowledge, and university functions as a hub to develop networks of researchers, and to train corporate researchers to acquire the epistemological thinking process, much more than to transfer technologies.
Combining the Global Value Chain and the Innovation System perspectives
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on how the research on innovation as an interactive process and innovation systems in a development context can be combined with a family of approaches that study how the entrance of single enterprises (or clusters of enterprises) located in developing countries into global value chains (e.g. Gereffi2005, Humphrey 2002) contributes to economic development.

Market structures, strategy and innovation in tourism sector
Luísa Carvalho,Soumodip Sarkar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply a multivariate analysis using a data set consisting of survey responses from 158 Portuguese firms to identify innovative patterns in tourism firms, and the findings indicate links between service, market structures and innovation strategies considering geographical agglomeration of firms in a small economy, and also different innovation trajectories and positions in the model.
