Can public policy create sustainable and long-term effects on industry? Conceptual issues and the case of life sciences for innovative food in Sweden
- 2010
-
Ingår i: International Schumpeter Society Conference.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper addresses the question what role public policy can play for connecting industry and public research organizations, i.e. what types of long-term goals and effects on industry can one reasonably expect? The present study analyzes 66 projects co-funded by the Swedish government agency Vinnova in the food area. The analysis showed that the Swedish policy in the area of innovative food was ‘needs-driven’ and explicitly designed to get university researchers and firms to interact. We also found that the manner in which the firms were involved in research varied greatly, but that in general this interaction was considered important in order to access knowledge and solve problems. Many projects were identified as providing benefits in commercialization activities. However, the actual product development usually occurred inside the boundaries of the firm. Furthermore, companies may have incentives to collaborate in order to ‘brand’ their products as high quality and to support marketing. Another valuable result of the policy was increasing labor mobility, that is, companies hiring PhDs. Finally, it can be concluded that given the global character of the food industry it seems that the pursued policy have contributed to make Sweden a more attractive place for industrial R&D investments

Conceptualizing Knowledge Intensive Entrepreneurship: A Literature Review for Analyzing Case Studies and Policy Implications
- 2011
-
Ingår i: AEGIS EU Framework programme 7: Conference and website.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The objectives of this paper are: (1) identify contributions already made on the topic of knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship in different areas of research, through a systematic literature review; (2) define the concepts and empirical indicators and evidence used for each contribution; (3) develop the outlines of conceptual model integrating several aspects of current understandings; (4) discuss the implications for public policy.

Cultural and Creative Entrepreneurship: A new research agenda?
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Book of abstracts of the 6th CIM Community Workshop.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Cultural and creative entrepreneurship are topics which during the past decade has increased significantly in relevance. This can be detected in numerous ways; e.g. increasing research attention, increasing publication outlets, increasing number of academic programs offering education tailored specifically to this context. One reason why cultural activities and creative industries have come into focus is the recognition that value realization takes place in different manners in and across different spheres. Where economists tend to focus on the spheres of the private company – implying that market and government are the central mechanisms for value realization – activities in the cultural and creative spheres have also proven to be important domains of significant value realization. For example, DiMaggio in his seminal 1982 paper demonstrated that founders of institutions for high culture would combine their interest in the arts with a willingness to assume responsibility, and thereby converting cultural institutions into significant business opportunities. Such insights clearly parallel what we find in, for example, Schumpeter’s definition of the entrepreneur, characterized as a risk- taker who stimulates change and captures business opportunities. Focus on entrepreneurship in these contexts, may in fact involve entirely new types of expression of value creation. For example, consider the British street artist Banksy, who in spite of (or maybe even due to) his controversial political messages and explicit rejection of normal market mechanisms (supplier-customer relations) has become a highly esteemed (and highly priced) artist and entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship and value creation in these spheres is argued to be activated through different mechanisms than purely financial market mechanisms. Often times we see aspect of social values being at the center of the value realization; like community, a sense of identity, solidarity, neighborhood, security, conviviality, friendship, and so on. It is this informal sphere, more generally denoted as civil society, that is critical for the realization of the cultural values (see e.g. Bendixen, 2000; Jeffcut and Pratt, 2002; Konrad, 2013).

Knowledge Intensive Entrepreneurial Firms Exploring Innovative Opportunities in High Tech Sectors: The case of open innovation
- 2012
-
Ingår i: AEGIS Deliverables and Reports Series.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper serves to analyse how the strategies for development pursued by knowledge intensive (KIE) ventures are influenced by Open Innovation thinking. This is done through the development of a conceptual framework for analysing this relationship, and the application of this framework empirically through six in-depth case studies of KIE ventures. It is found that there is a very high degree of similarities between the KIE strategies and Open Innovation thinking. In particular the exchange, development, and application of knowledge generated externally to the KIE ventures is a strikingly similar feature.

Knowledge intensive entrepreneurial firms exploring innovative opportunities in high tech sectors: The Question of Internationalisation
- 2012
-
Ingår i: AEGIS Deliverables and Report Series.
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The overall question dealt with in this paper is how and why KIE firms engage in international development. Based on five in-depth case studies we illustrate that in addition to the well-known factors of internationalization, KIE ventures show a number of anomalies, suggesting that KIE ventures internationalise for different reasons and in different manners than what has normally been portrayed in International Business literature. We argue that such findings hold significant consequences for understanding future Asia-Euro collaboration, where traditional roles of European development vs. Asian manufacturing are challenged

Strategies for Inernational Development in Knowledge Intensive New Ventures: Implications for Asian-European collaboration

- The overall question dealt with in this paper is how and why knowledge intensive entrepreneurial ventures (KIE) engage in international development. Based on five in-depth case studies, we illustrate that in addition to the well-known factors of internationalization, KIE ventures show a number of anomalies. This suggests theoretically and empirically that KIE ventures internationalise for different reasons and in different manners than as portrayed in International Business literature. We argue that such findings hold significant consequences for understanding future Asia-Euro collaboration, where traditional roles of European development versus Asian manufacturing are challenged.

Learning to Compete in European Universities: From Social Institutions to Knowledge Business
- 2009
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book Learning to Compete in European Universities: From Societal Institutions to Knowledge Businesses will challenge the reader by asking how and why European universities are changing and learning to compete. Anglo-Saxon universities in especially USA, UK and Australia have been subject to, and responded to market-based competition in higher education for a long time. We will argue that Continental and Nordic universities and higher education institutes (HEI) are now facing similar pressures that are leading to structural transformation of the university sector. Thus, one of the major societal institutions in Europe is undergoing transformation, and becoming a knowledge business. Regardless of whether one believes that this increasing competition has positive or negative effects, the transformation will affect academics and students, as well as the ability of firms and nations to compete in the global knowledge society. This book provides some steps towards explaining what is going on; towards analyzing how individuals, groups and organizations are responding; and towards discussing the implications for society and universities.
