Innovation in regions: What does really matter?

Networks, Space and Organizational Performance: A Study of the Determinants of Industrial Research Income Generation by Universities

“…Another variable that may play a role in explaining university research income generation is the portfolio of active patents in 2005-06, which is a proxy for a university's stock of knowledge that may prove to be of commercial value, and the capacity of a university's technology transfer/support office. Although it is a reasonably reliable measure of innovative output/activity (Rondé and Hussler, 2005;Tappeiner et al, 2008), it is recognised that patent activity is an imperfect measure since, for example, not all university research is codified into patents and may manifest itself through other forms of knowledge commercialisation (Fritsch and Slavtchev, 2007).…”

Towards Urban Resilience through Inter-City Networks of Co-Invention: A Case Study of U.S. Cities

“…Innovation processes within geographical clusters, tied to localized knowledge flows, have been extensively documented and are widespread across the U.S. and Europe [1][2][3][4][5]. While these empirical studies are remarkable in their geography scheme, information exchange develops in wide-ranging and long-distance networks of collaboration through formal and informal relationships [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Breschi and Lissoni [13] pointed out that knowledge exchange is not restricted to local networking in clusters only, but can also be distributed to distant areas via a variety of interactions [7,14].…”

“…By collaborating, scientists and researchers in different areas can develop knowledge exchanges vicariously through perceptions and opinions in pursuit of corporate goals. Rondé and Hussler [6] concluded that working with collaboration local and extra-local partners and combining their techniques and complementary skills is considered to be a crucial strategy for cities evolving in a in 2003, and the emerging momentum of the Internet of Things (IoT) around 2013 was propelled by the proliferation of internet-connected objects. I focus on U.S. cities as centers of knowledge creation and argue urban resilience is the capacity of a system to absorb and recover from the occurrence of hazardous events, in order to maintain the city's level of knowledge creation and innovation over the long-term [26].…”

Internationalization Approaches of the Automotive Innovation System - A Historical Perspective

“…The literature on innovation systems is embedded with different conceptualizations: National Innovation Systems (Lundvall, 1992;Nelson, 1993;Porter, 1990), Regional Innovation Systems (Cooke et al, 1997), Sectoral Innovation Systems (Malerba, 2002;Breschi & Malerba, 1997) and Technological Systems (Carlsson 1995;Carlsson et al, 1995); though used extensively, they are hard to operationalize (Rondé & Hussler, 2005).…”
