“…We find that most topics across the three themes of BI, PI, and PO focus mainly on technological capabilities and rather procedural applications where performance targets may be clearly specified and achieved. This is line with transition research from other contexts, such as sustainability transitions, documenting a tendency of powerful actors to heavily emphasize techno-economic rationales over societal, normative, and systemic dimensions (Bogner & Dahlke, 2022;Urmetzer et al, 2018).…”

The potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to constitute a general-purpose technology with diverse algorithmic specifications makes it challenging to assess its overall impact on existing socio-economic regimes. Leveraging the multi-level perspective, we seek to depict the trajectory of micro-, meso-, and macro-level forces and their interactions to characterize AI transition pathways in industry. We treat business and information systems literature as a proxy capturing business practices that relate to factors influencing AI transitions on all three different levels. Based on 10,036 publications over 25 years, we map the topic landscape of AI-related research, longitudinal patterns of topics, and structural changes of topic networks. The results indicate a strong and myopic focus on technological capabilities and efficiency rationales. Topic network structures indicate that transition pathways may diverge between a symbiotic and stabilizing transformation process and a more radical pathway of regime substitution. Based on these findings, we argue that sociotechnical transition pathways may not only occur in sequence, but simultaneously and ambiguously. This highlights the need for a nuanced understanding of convergent and divergent transition pathways for emerging digital general-purpose technology that do not tend to settle on one dominant design. We propose to leverage paradox theory to reconcile these tensions. JEL: M000, O310, O320, 033

“…За последующее десятилетие появилось множество публикаций, характеризующих с разных сторон политику Германии в области биоэкономики, включая серьезную критику [29]. Более того, по оценкам ряда авторов, искусственно созданная в Германии сеть НИОКР не демонстрирует необходимой кооперации заинтересованных сторон, отсутствует участие гражданского общества или междисциплинарные исследования.…”

Bioeconomy as One of the Ways To Sustainable Development of Russian Regions

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Bioeconomy is considered as a special type of activity and economic system, which is based on the science achievements, primarily related to biology, as well as chemistry, bioengineering, computer science, ecology, and even sociology. This activity is actively carried out in dozens of countries where national bioeconomy development programs have been formed. The existing programs provide, first of all, for the set of works implementation performed with the help of biotechnologies for the goods (bioproducts) based on natural bioresources production, including industrial, agricultural and household waste processing. As a result, global and regional bioproducts markets are being formed, providing consumers with new materials, as well as intangible benefits and services. The bioeconomy state analysis in several leading countries, as well as in the Russian Federation, indicates the expediency of using a regional approach to bioeconomy development, as well as advance training of relevant personnel. To achieve these goals, it is proposed to use several principles arising from the essence of the bioeconomy activity organization.

“…Innovation policy can promote research collaborations and innovations with bioeconomy focus through funding. For Germany, the extent to which the bioeconomy transformation is reflected in research funds and projects has been analysed in terms of stakeholders involved and the thematic focus [17,18]. Bioeconomy research and development networks in Germany [19] as well as German biotechnology clusters have been assessed with regard to knowledge flows and spillovers at the firm and/or public organization level [20][21][22][23] as well as at the regional level [24,25].…”

Bioeconomy Innovation Networks in Urban Regions: The Case of Stuttgart

For a successful transformation towards a sustainable bioeconomy, cooperative knowledge creation leading to innovations through research at the company and academic level are important. Urban regions are the centre of economic and research activities. The example of the region of Stuttgart, which aims to complement its mature industrial structure with new opportunities related to the knowledge-based bioeconomy, is an interesting case for the application of social network analysis to shed light on the dynamics of innovation networks to support the transformation of urban regions. As with smaller spatial levels of observation connectivity in network decreases, we find a scale-free network structure for the supra-regional network and a star-like network structure for the regional network, with two universities and one transfer-oriented research institutes at the core. While research collaborations beyond regional borders and across different industries foster knowledge co-creation, the central actors can be recognized as gatekeepers who dominantly influence knowledge flows. To potentially strengthen the resilience of the network, policy and industry associations serving as network facilitators can foster collaboration between periphery actors. The case of the Stuttgart region impressively illustrates the opportunities of the knowledge-based bioeconomy for urban regions and the complementary role traditional manufacturing sectors can take in the transformation towards higher degrees of sustainability.
