Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper examines knowledge intensive entrepreneurship in various ways and represents a broad framework within which the AEGIS project will take place. Knowledgeintensive entrepreneurship is considered a key socio-economic phenomenon that drives innovation, and economic growth, and is at the base of the competitiveness of countries. After an initial definition of knowledge intensive entrepreneurship and the main concepts, in Section 1 we will present the proposed conceptual framework that will guide our research. Then in Section 2 we will concentrate on what the literature has said about entrepreneurship: we will divide the brief survey into economics (section 2.1), industrial dynamics (section 2.2) and innovation management (section 2.3). We will then turn into what has already been researched about knowledge intensive entrepreneurship by examining KEINS, an EU exploratory project carried out in the last years (section 3). Following a presentation of the main results from KEINS, we will introduce the main points of AEGIS, centered on linking firms, knowledge and systems (section 4). Finally, in the last section, we will focus on analyzing the phenomenon of KIE. This includes first an examination of the various empirical dimensions of AEGIS in its attempts to develop indicators to explore, identify and measure knowledge intensive entrepreneurship. We then conclude with some final considerations

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Knowledge intensive entrepreneurship lies at the core of the structural shift necessary for the growth and development of a knowledge based economy, yet research reveals that the EU has fewer young leading innovators, and Europe’s new firms do not adequately contribute to industrial growth. This is especially true in the high R&D intensive, high-tech sectors. This structural malaise, undermining Europe’s growth potential, is well diagnosed, but poorly understood. This volume fills this important gap by exploring new firms that have significant knowledge intensity in their activity and develop and exploit innovative opportunities in diverse sectors. Through an evolutionary and systemic approach to entrepreneurship, focusing on knowledge intensive entrepreneurship as both a micro and a macro phenomena and analyzing firms in the context of various socio-economic models, the authors explore firms creation and origins around the world, their organization, strategies and business models as well as the role of innovation systems and institutions in their formation and growth. This comprehensive research text is vital reading for academics, researchers and students of high-tech and knowledge intensive entrepreneurship as well as those with an interest in industrial dynamics, innovation management and public policy.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Knowledge intensive entrepreneurship (KIE) helps renew the economy, giving rise to new industries but also to entrepreneurial-driven renewal within existing industries. This chapter proposes a conceptualize KIE as a broad concept, including a definition and a model. This chapter examines specific aspects of knowledge intensive entrepreneurship, presenting a conceptualization. The chapter also discusses framework how to operationalize the dimensions of the definition through various research strategies, and explains how the AEGIS project did so. Knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship is considered a key socio-economic phenomenon that drives innovation, and economic growth, and is at the base of the competitiveness of countries.

Knowledge Intensive Entrepreneurship and Future Research Directions
- 2016
-
Ingår i: International Joseph Schumpeter Society Conference, June 2016, Montreal.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The paper focuses upon a particular type of entrepreneurship, namely knowledge intensive entrepreneurship (KIE) and future research trajectories. Our approach follows a Schumpeterian approach, in the sense that entrepreneurship is driven by the innovation and the activities of entrepreneurs, who are responding to opportunities in markets and technology. Moreover, entrepreneurial activities introduce uncertainty and disequilibrium into the economy, which in turn promote economic development. More specifically, this paper focuses upon the particular case where advanced knowledge and innovation are the basis of competitive advantage for entrepreneurs. We propose that KIE firms, which introduce innovation and disequilibrium in the economy and rely upon advanced knowledge, can be identified across all types of manufacturing and service sectors, and they do so by taking advantage of diverse innovative opportunities. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to expand the discussion of how to conceptualize the existence, and importance of, knowledge intensive entrepreneurship in order to propose directions for future research, in terms of indicators, measurements and interesting topics.

Knowledge Intensive Entrepreneurship - Beyond the Schumpeterian Entrepreneur
- 2016

Ingår i: SPRU (Science Policy Research Unit), SPRU 50th Anniversary Conference, University of Sussex, UK. - : University of Sussex, SPRU 50th, 7-9th September 2016.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper proposes a conceptualization of knowledge intensive entrepreneurship (KIE). We propose that a relevant type of entrepreneurship in modern economies is based on knowledge, and the related knowledge sources, skills, activities and networks. A first contribution of this paper is that we propose a broader and deeper theoretical understanding of KIE. Knowledge intensive entrepreneurship refers to new learning organizations that generate new knowledge or use, transform or recombine existing knowledge and are problem solvers through innovation systems and knowledge networks. A second contribution of this paper is to examine more in detail, empirically, how and why linkages between the KIE venture and innovation system occur.

Knowledge Intensive Entrepreneurship: Going Beyond the Schumpeterian Entreprenuer

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents a definition and stylized process model of knowledge intensive entrepreneurship. The paper proposes an integration of the Schumpeterian tradition with evolutionary theory and the innovation system approach. There is a clear need to go beyond the Schumpeterian entrepreneur, in order to properly take into account the diffusion, use and creation of knowledge in innovation and entrepreneurship, and its dynamic, evolving and systemic perspective. The modern economy is knowledge intensive, and hence knowledge intensive entrepreneurship can occur in all sectors and countries. The paper also presents empirical evidence of the empirical relevance of knowledge intensive entrepreneurship in the economy, based on a large scale survey. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research.
