“…339-41). Carlsson and Stankiewicz [4], extended definition of innovation to include the development of new organizational setups. Schumpeter's definition sums up the following forms of innovations : (1) introduction of new product or qualitative change in existing product, (2) process innovation new to an industry, (3) opening of a new market, (4) development of new sources of supply for raw material, and (5) other inputs and changes in the industrial organization.…”

“…Inherent in this dimension is that an organization needs to have not only access to resources, but also the capability for evaluating, developing, adapting and exploiting a specific resource transferred. We call this the firm's receiver capability (Carlsson and Stankiewicz, 1991), a concept closely related to that of absorptive capacity (Amendola and Bruno, 1990;Cohen and Levinthal, 1990). Forth, the dynamics of connectivity involves how connections between different actors come about, are sustained, change over time and come to an end.…”

This paper addresses whether or not there is a relationship between a young science-based firm’s patterns of connections and the associated resource flows, and its performance. Hypotheses derived from the literature are tested in relation to three performance indicators: inventiveness, innovativeness and employment. Analyzing a set of firms in Sweden, Ohio and Massachusetts, working with biocompatible materials and related products, the results indicate that firm performance is significantly influenced by the firms’ pattern of connectivity. In particular, technology-related connections proved important, where a high diversity in types of sources for technological input, a large number of technological relations and a high amount of technology transfer from the parent organization were related to better performance for this specific group of firms.

“…The notion of innovation system is useful to explain the mechanism of innovation in which knowledge is transformed through complex interactions of various actors in an institutional environment (Yarime 2010). A technological innovation system can be defined as ''a dynamic network of agents interacting in a specific economic or industrial area under a particular institutional infrastructure and involved in the generation, diffusion, and utilization of technology'' (Carlsson and Stankiewicz 1991).…”

Governance for sustainability: knowledge integration and multi-actor dimensions in risk management

et al. 2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sustainability has many dimensions, including various aspects of environmental, social and economic sustainability. This paper proposes an analytical framework of risk-related governance for sustainability, based on literature review, focusing on two dimensions-knowledge integration and multi-actor governance. Knowledge integration necessitates wider coverage of predicted and anticipated risks and information on those risks. Multiactor governance necessitates mechanisms that enable cooperation among actors. The relevance of this analytical framework is then checked using concrete cases of governance for reducing emission from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD?), and the possible case of governance for sustainable phosphorus management.
