- propose the following in this chapter: Knowledge-intensive innovative ecosystems should become the main focus of Swedish public policy. Policymakers can follow six design principles in order to create capabilities and innovation governance; these principles are specifically focused on creating, maintaining and diffusing knowledge- intensive innovative ecosystems across the economy and society. Note that in contrast to some existing viewpoints about public policy, this is not a story only about the centralized decisionmaker, academic entrepreneurship or high- tech industries. Nor it is a story about the deficiencies of the university and higher education sector. In contrast, this chapter argues that Swedish public policy needs new capabilities to promote fruitful linkages and interactions, which can be usefully thought of in terms of experimental policy. This is in line with this report, including recent research such as Lindholm-Dahlstrand et al, 2018). Moreover, these knowledge-intensive innovative ecosystems – hereafter KI ecosystems – can be found across the economy and society. Using public policy to stimulate them not only in such sectors as medicine and trans- portation, but also in new areas, such as sports, is needed to create competitiveness and growth. Developing more nuanced, receptive, and adaptive public policy for these purposes is needed, especially in a world that is being transformed by global trends, uncertainty about the future, and rapidly changing technology. The remainder of this chapter is structured as follows. Section 2 provides the theoretical perspective on knowledge-intensive entrepreneurial firms and ecosys- tems. Section 3 introduces the Swedish context, while Section 4 addresses the rhe- torical question of why we should care about innovation and entrepreneurship. This entreprenörskapsforum 61 kapitel 4 knowledge-intensive innovative ecosystems in sweden structure briefly outlines tempting but incorrect conclusions for policy, and indicates how this theoretical approach provides cognitive models for informed conclusions for public policy. Drawing directly from these informed conclusions, Section 5 proposes six design principles for stimulating knowledge-intensive entrepreneurial ecosystems through public policy.

Knowledge-Intensive Innovative Entrepreneurship: Why and how these firms are dependent upon the dynamics of their ecosystem
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Keynote Speaker at the 2018 Triple Helix conference.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- McKelvey's keynote speech will address knowledge-intensive innovative entrepreneurship. The conceptualization of knowledge-intensive innovative entrepreneurship provides a new understanding of how and why a specific type of entrepreneurial firms impacts the economy, due to the central position of innovation in modern industries and services and the essential role of new firms in the economic growth of countries. This type of firm is also highly dependent upon interactions among hetergeneous actors through innovation governance, and therefore, they are especially depend upon the dynamics of their ecosystem in terms of interactions between different actors in the knowledge-based economy. This view of a particular type of entrepreneurship thus links the intense use of knowledge by the new ventures with their intense innovative activity, which together constitute knowledge-intensive innovative entrepreneurial ecosystems. McKelvey's keynote speech will also provide empirical evidence, as well as develop our understanding of this phenomenon using empirical probes of medical innovation and sports innovation.

Knowledge, Meaning and Identify: Key Characteristics of Entrepreneurship in Cultural and Creative Industries
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Creativity and Innovation Management. - : Wiley. - 0963-1690 .- 1467-8691. ; 27:3, s. 281-283

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article introduces the Special Issue, “Varieties of entrepreneurship: Exploring whether, how and why cultural and creative entrepreneurship differs from other varieties”. The aim of the Special Issue is to contribute to a more nuanced understanding of how this particular variety of entrepreneurship emerges, is affected and develops over time. We present the three broad topics addressed in the Special Issue—knowledge, meaning and identity—and position them in the wider academic context of understanding value realization through entrepreneurship in the cultural and creative industries. The six articles presented in the Special Issue come from and combine different streams of literatures, yet jointly they gradually develop their own, hopefully complementary, interpretations, which provide inspiration for a promising agenda for further research.

Negative Unintended Consequences as a Counterbalance to Innovation: The Macchiarini case as innovation governance at the interface between scientific research and clinical practice

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Innovation processes – as well as scientific research and technological development – rely upon a continuous process of generating new knowledge, arising from collaboration across a variety of private actors like firms, societal actors like universities, NGOs and professional societies, as well as public actors like government agencies (Fagerberg and Mowery, 2006). Developing new areas of scientific research will help society in the long run, but equally important are the uses of that knowledge in order to implement ideas, translate research into practise, and more generally, find ways of societal impact. Hence, the positive outcomes of these innovation processes benefit society in the long-run through new products, services, and organizational forms. Therefore, public policy to stimulate science, technology and innovation is usually designed to stimulate novelty, due to the potential future benefits for society (Edler and Fagerberg 2017). This view stresses the positive side of innovation. But in recent years, a number of studies have focused upon the negative consequences, risks or “dark side of innovation” (Nightingale 2004; Stirling 2017), whereby increasing public concerns about risks have led to demands for more inclusive and transparent innovation processes (Stilgoe et al 2013). Our three-year qualitative study analyses processes of innovation governance, within an empirical context of negative unintended consequences, namely scientific misconduct, in the specific setting at the interface between biomedical scientific research and clinical practice.

Ingår i: Dynamics of knowledge intensive entrepreneurship business strategy & public policy edited by Franco Malerba, Yannis Caloghirou, Maureen McKelvey, Slavo Radosevic.. - London : Routledge. - 9781138025288 ; , s. 170-188
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this chapter we present and discuss the results of 86 case studies, with the aim to further the understanding of venture creation as a specific process of opportunity identification and exploitation, which can be seen as a process view of development over time. The chapter addresses the dynamics of knowledge intensive entrepreneurship in different sectors, and specifically how the process of venture creation occurs in relation to external knowledge networks and innovation systems.

Organizational Routines and the Growth of Knowledge in Engineering: Evolving modes of academic engagement in biomedical engineering at Chalmers University of Technology 1948-2018
- 2020
-
Ingår i: GEOINNO2020 Conference Proceedings, 5th Annual Geography of Innovation Conference 29-31 Jan 2020 Stavanger. - Stavanger, Norway : University of Stavanger.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper further develops the concept of organizational routines in the context of universities. We do so in order to propose an explicitly evolutionary economics approach to conceptualizing changes in academic engagement with industry and society over time. Within the extensive literature on university-industry interactions, the literature on academic engagement focuses upon the variety of knowledge networks between university and industry for societal impact, and contrasts that with the commercialization of university research results through patents and start-up companies. We have an empirical focus upon the changing micro-level of activities in the university, to further conceptualize what routines are, and how are related to the overall growth of knowledge. Biomedical engineering is relevant to study, because different fields of knowledge must be combined and re-combined to solve new problems and offer new solutions to existing problems. For medical innovation, hospitals are important as well as industrial firms. Drawing on a longitudinal study of biomedical engineering at one university over seven decades, we identify four distinct modes of academic engagement. We propose to conceptualize these modes of academic engagement as composed of sets of distinct routines. In particular, we have identified routines related to interactions with hospitals, both directly and through industrial firms, involving graduate students and their supervisors.

Ready to innovate during a crisis? Innovation governance during the first wave of COVID-19 infections in Iceland
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Innovation-Organization & Management. - Melbourne : Routledge. - 1447-9338 .- 2204-0226.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Previous studies on innovation governance have focused on the governance of science, technology, and innovation from a long-term perspective. In this article we focus on the short term by exploring the generation and use of new scientific and technical knowledge to address an urgent societal crisis. We empirically analyse the emergency response during the first wave of COVID-19 infections in Iceland using a conceptual framework based on three theoretical components, namely, emergency management, innovation governance, and the innovation process as a problem-solving process. The empirical analysis is built on a systematic analysis of secondary data. Based on the results, we conclude that improvisation processes using existing knowledge and capabilities and triggered by unanticipated problems during a crisis are in some cases sources of successful innovation. In these cases initial problem-solving processes characterized by improvisation can be interpreted as blind variations that are retained and diffused through a series of complementary problem-solving processes that generate and use new scientific and technical knowledge. Furthermore, we extend the concept of innovation governance readiness to include both the readiness to exploit technological opportunities and the readiness to address unanticipated problems during a crisis and propose that our extension is useful for integrating long-term and short-term aspects of innovation governance.

Rethinking how universities and firms interact at the interface of science, education and firm strategy
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Strategic Management Society Padua Extension Workshop on Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Invention Networks, 8-9 June 2016. - Italy : University of Padua.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This presentation addressed how universities and firms interact at the interface of science, education and firm strategy. The managerial literature on innovation has emphasized the role of knowledge recombination as one of the most important sources of technological novelty. Important knowledge flows are activated by networks of inventors that recombine their already existing knowledge, at different scale level, and between different partner types. A particular mode of interaction has to do with the interface between firms and universities.
