Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper develops an empirically grounded, processual view of corporate social performance (CSP) by analyzing how internal organizational processes affect a firms social performance. Based on two case studies, we argue that changes in a firms social performance are triggered by continuously reoccurring instances of poor fit between the firms routines and its institutional environment. We propose that reactive change processes, initiated by stakeholder critique threatening the organizations legitimacy, will result in isomorphic type of social performance changes. In comparison, proactive change processes, initiated by slack resources, are more likely to result in non-isomorphic type of social performance changes. Furthermore, we propose that top-down driven processes will result in structural social performance changes in the direction of internationally influential stakeholders demands, while bottom-up driven processes will result in output social performance changes in the direction of locally influential stakeholders demands.

Triple Helix as a basis for capacity building through innovation governance
- 2009

Ingår i: Paper presented at the 7th Biennial International Conference on University, Industry & Government Linkages, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, 17-19 June, 2009.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Over the last decade, policy initiatives to promote innovativeness and growth, inspired by normative models of triple helix and capacity building, have proliferated. Theories of economic development offer several explanations of the emergence of clusters in particular environments. Most theorists would argue that specific, natural, economic, or institutional factors determine capacity building in terms of cluster development. Other theorists emphasize the role of local social networks and phases of regional knowledge-based triple helix spaces in explaining the emergence of such capacity building. Neither of these theoretical streams offers systematic explanations of differences in the emergence and success of capacity building, beyond finding that crucial resources are unevenly distributed. The theoretical linkage between triple helix and capacity building through innovation governance is unclear. We still do not have a relevant theory explaining the influence of innovation governance involving local government–industry–university relationships on capacity building leading to successful innovations. Therefore, we are making a proposal to further develop the triple helix theory by focusing on capacity building through different sequences of innovation governance in relation to values/norms of identity, networks and local-global relations.
