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.

'Mode 3' and 'Quadruple Helix': toward a 21st century fractal innovation ecosystem
TL;DR: The 'Quadruple Helix' emphasises the importance of also integrating the perspective of the media-based and culture-based public, and results is an emerging fractal knowledge and innovation ecosystem, well-configured for the knowledge economy and society.

Policy-making in science policy: The ‘OECD model’ unveiled ☆
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the Organisation for Economic and Co-operation and Development (OECD) acted as a policy innovator playing a central role in the development and adoption of what they call the "OECD model of science policy-making".

Looking beyond the R&D effects on innovation: The contribution of non-R&D activities to total factor productivity growth in the EU
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of R&D on TFP growth was found to be twice as big as that of non-R&D, and the two types of innovation cannot strictly be seen as complementary, at least for the case of countries with high R&DI intensities or high non-r&D intensities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Service encounters as bases for innovation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the factors affecting the innovativeness of service encounters, either as drivers or barriers, and found that encounter-based innovation requires mutual empathy between employees and customers, employees investing stubbornness and time can be a driver for innovation, and several layers of management can be barriers.

Measuring the diffusion of an innovation: A citation analysis
Yujia Zhai,Ying Ding,Fang Wang +2 more
TL;DR: The results show that as LDA is transferred into different areas, the adoption of each subject is relatively adjacent to those with similar research interests, which further support researchers' understanding of the impact formation of innovation.

Strategy and narrative in higher education
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply the idea of narrative to strategy and to the development of strategy in the higher education context, and explore how strategy is formed as an intertextual narrative.
