Institutional Entrepreneurship and Improvement of Quality of Life: The Formation and Legitimation of a Public-Private Innovation Network in Molecular Biology Applied to Public Health in Southern Brazil

Organizational Culture for Cooperation in Technological Innovation Between Research Institutes and Firms

“…In the decision-making process, the analyzes resulted in significant factor loads in the governance of projects in technological innovation (R&D) beyond organizational boundaries (Barnes et al, 2006), being that in resources for innovation the clarity in the distinction about the different interests and formats of access to complementary resources by the organizations involved, a clarity in the distinction similar to that demonstrated in knowledge mobilization. It should be noted that in results orientation, when positive for firms, they corroborate the literature by emphasizing the strengthening of the reputation and prestige of the research institutes that participated in the cooperation (Bonfim et al, 2016;Olavarrieta & Friedmann, 2008). The model of analysis studied addressed decision-making processes for choosing partners for cooperation, considering criteria of reputation, prestige and geographical distance/proximity.…”

“…To compose the set of variables in the dimension on decision-making process, the following issues were considered; strategic decision making with the ability to act quickly and flexibly in the face of the challenges of R&D and cooperation, the predisposition to accept high levels of risk (risk-taking) with innovation and shared responsibilities within the governance of cooperation (Banholzer & Vosejpka, 2011;Claver et al, 1998;Dobni, 2008;Leede & Looise, 2005;Park et al, 2017;Popadiuk & Bido, 2016). The decision-making process on the choice of partners for cooperation expands into decisions that cover, for example, geographical distance, cooperation based on codified knowledge, infrastructure, reputation and prestige criteria related to the technological domain of the partner involved in the cooperation (Arvanitis et al, 2016;Bonfim, Gonçalves, Moreira & Jacometti, 2016;Claver et al, 1998;de Faria et al, 2010;Fitjar & Rodríguez-Pose, 2013;Savitskaya, Salmi & Torkkeli, 2010;Okamuro & Nishimura, 2013).…”

“…There are variations in the understandings between research institutes and firms. For example, research institutes aim at results that can strengthen their research groups (Bonfim et al, 2016;de Faria et al, 2010) and firms aim at reducing development time and cost in a manner they can achieve results that provide greater competitiveness in their markets (Claver et al, 1998;Savitskaya et al, 2010).…”

The Idea Innovation Network and Research Arenas: The Brazilian Case of the INCT INDI-Saúde

“…In this context, our aim in this article was to analyze a successful innovative network, the INDI-Saúde network, with the lens of Hage and Hollingswoth's (2000) idea innovation network models. The investigation was set in a Brazilian context of innovation for public health, which is characterized by the concentration of the technological development in public research institutes and public universities, with a majority of government funding, but with an increasing participation of the private organizations in recent public policies programs (Bonfim, Gonçalves, Moreira, & Jacometti, 2016). In this sense, we intend to contribute for the reduction of the lack of empirical validated predictive models for studying innovation and technology development in strategic areas for public policy, such as public health.…”

Estrutura e dinâmica em redes interorganizacionais: estudo de caso da rede de inovação da Fiocruz Paraná

“…Rede centro-periferia da rede formada pelo IBMP no período de 1999 a 2007 O ator central da rede era o IBMP, de modo que ele era uma ponte de ligação entre as diversas redes menores dispostas no sociograma. Vale nota que, conforme apresentaram estudos anteriores(Bonfim, Gonçalves, Moreira, & Jacometti, 2016;Krieger, Souza, Alvarez, Ferreira, & Moreira, 2013), a área de Biologia Molecular no Paraná era pouco estruturada, praticamente inexistente antes da criação do IBMP. Tal fato ocasionou que as iniciativas voltadas para essa área, em específico, ocorridas no Paraná no período estudado passassem pelo IBMP.…”
