“…In practice, this means that the first steps towards pre-commercial scale-up have to be taken. Exactly this gap, from the proof-of-concept up to the so-called pilot plant scale, is the main challenge to address for start-ups and gazelles in the chemical industry (Van Gils et al, 2015).…”

“…In addition to the consumer as external source of innovation, links to other firms and organizations present a source of innovation (Barzi, Cortelezzi, Marseguerra, & Zoia, 2015;von Hippel, 1988;Woodside, 2005). Various collective settings such as supplier-buyer relationships (Un & Asakawa, 2015), alliances and partnerships (Le Roy, Robert, & Lasch, 2016;Pahnke, Katila, & Eisenhardt, 2015), university-industry linkages (Etzkowitz, 2012;Van Gils, Vissers, & Dankbaar, 2015), clusters and other networks (Greve, 2009;Kim & Lui), constitute possible contexts for interorganizational linkages as external source of innovation. In reality it is rare that only one source of innovation is solicited exclusively.…”

Towards a network model of innovation in sport – the case of product innovation in nautical sport clusters

International audienceSport and sport equipment are permanently subject to innovation. The current research on innovation sources in sport industries has focused on user innovation and firm-internal sources of innovation. This paper uses the network approach to analyze external links as sources of product innovation in nautical sport clusters. It addresses the question: how can sport organizations effectively use interorganizational links for innovation? An empirical study identifies and compares innovation practices in the Auckland sailing cluster in New Zealand with the Victorian surfing cluster in Australia. In total 52 firms, non-profit-organizations, and governing bodies were interviewed. In spite of much existing research focusing on internal firm resources and end users as sources of innovation in the sport sector, interorganizational linkages provide rich sources of innovation for organizations located in clustered sport industries. This research identifies 11 practices that can be imitated by other organizations located in sport clusters or similar settings. Eight practices occur in both clusters while three only occur in one of both. This paper contributes to knowledge on mechanisms for information and knowledge transfer that leverage innovation via interorganizational linkages

“…Results from the interviews with the industry representatives show that some of the companies view scientific publications as an important tool for strengthening their own scientific image while others emphasize the importance of supporting the academic researchers' autonomy in selecting novel issues in order to spur new findings that will assist more radical innovations in the future. The process of industry interests informally shifting activities of academic partners to fit their own project objectives has previously been studied as part of the study of phases of collaboration in radical innovation (Van Gils et al 2015). This is in line with the reasoning of one of the respondents representing the Swedish company being active in the research centre who emphasized that even though the result is rather fundamental, it can quickly be transferred into practice.…”

Managing the complexity of centres of excellence: accommodating diversity in institutional logics

This article discusses how Centres of Excellence (CoE) and the existence of several logics in these centres can contribute to the differentiation of the strategic profiles of universities. The study sees research centres as a way to organize research activities in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in order to target both excellence but also societal challenges through focused thematic research. It reveals how societal challenges and their interpretation by these centres contribute to the differentiation of the strategic profiles of universities. Studies of centres of excellence programs in Sweden and Japan reveal differences in how their mission is formulated for relevance and excellence. The results indicate that contrasting missions of HEIs are accommodated through the dual logics of these centres relating both to autonomy and industry collaboration. The study shows that long-term funding gives these centres flexibility to set the agenda and focus on their strategic core activities. In other words, a logic of autonomy guides their strategic choices of research activities over the long-run as well as collaborators. Nevertheless, these centres are also developing strategies to cope with dilemmas stemming from the excellence-relevance and evaluation templates that emerge in the nexus of their collaborative ties with industry, government and universities.
