“…In recent decades, investment in intangible capital has grown considerably—even more than tangible capital—so creation and invention are now central to the development of any country. Reaching beyond an analytical approach to the phenomenon, the truth is that the ability to generate new knowledge, the basis of innovation, is considered fundamental for development and the element of differential competitiveness in this century (Carayannis et al, 2000; Cooke & Leydesdorf, 2006; Johannessen et al, 1997; Rusu‐Tanasă, 2015). Investments in research, development, and innovation are viewed as the most important sources of performance and a key to develop knowledge‐based capital and IC (Rusu‐Tanasă, 2015, p. 369).…”

This review article presents the results of an exploratory study for illuminating the state of the research concerning public policy in Colombia. A core assumption of the project is that the national capacity (intellectual capital) for producing relevant and thorough research in public policy, theory and practice, is a key element for the quality of its democracy and the sustainability of the system. A systematic documentary review of the research papers produced between 2008 and 2018 was conducted, spanning a total of 1010 papers. The results point to the relevance of continuing this type of study within Colombia and to the need of involving all the stakeholders in a dialogue about how to improve the country's capacity to design, implement, and evaluate sound public policies.

“…The underlying assumption of these approaches is that knowledge and innovation is the principal productive resource of the firm. We define knowledge as systematising and structuring information for a specific purpose (Johannessen et al , 1997a, b). This definition is also consistent with Drucker (1994, p. 38), who argues that: “knowledge is systematic, purposeful, organised information”.…”

“…To meet this potential inertia, and to be more in tune with an economy that is becoming increasingly globalised, there may also be necessary to be linked to international knowledge institutions and networks. This may be handled by the companies themselves or, as suggested by Johannessen et al (1997a, b), through regional innovation centres, which operate as knowledge brokers and information scanners in the global environment.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to uncover processes and the corresponding social mechanisms promoting innovation in organisations.Design/methodology/approachIt is the integration of organisational learning, the internal knowledge base of the company and its external knowledge base, viewed in relation to innovations in organisations, which are the main elements discussed in this paper. In the present paper, it is the systemic angle of incidence which will be used.FindingsAn increased focus on information, knowledge and organisational learning, has provided a deeper understanding of factors and processes conducive to innovation and eventually to sustainable competitive advantages. However, little attention has been given to social mechanisms triggering innovations, which are uncovered in this paper.Practical implicationsA conceptual model, which represents a synthesis of the social mechanisms which influence those processes affecting innovation in social systems is presented.Originality/valueThe idea is that when several knowledge domains (practical, theoretical, internal and external) are connected for one specific purpose, the inherent variety may release what is creatively new, igniting innovation in social systems.

“…Whether and how government interventions, or the presence of academia, matter for regional innovation is an issue of political significance in many countries because innovation in the regions is considered to be a condition for increasing prosperity [3][4][5]. Accordingly, national and regional governments in several countries have developed programs and centres for enhancing innovation in the regions [6,7]. A number of factors are important in this context: the industry structure [8], the role of the universities [9,10], the role of knowledge networks [2,11], proximity and localization [12][13][14][15], and organization and culture [16,17].…”

Where is synergy indicated in the Norwegian innovation system? Triple-Helix relations among technology, organization, and geography

Using information theory and data for all (0.5 million) Norwegian firms, the national and regional innovation systems are decomposed into three subdynamics: (i) economic wealth generation, (ii) technological novelty production, and (iii) government interventions and administrative control. The mutual information in three dimensions can then be used as an indicator of potential synergy, that is, reduction of uncertainty. We aggregate the data at the NUTS3 level for 19 counties, the NUTS2 level for seven regions, and the single NUTS1 level for the nation. Measured as inbetween group reduction of uncertainty, 11.7 % of the synergy was found at the regional level, whereas only another 2.7% was added by aggregation at the national level. Using this triple-helix indicator, the counties along the west coast are indicated as more knowledge-based than the metropolitan area of Oslo or the geographical environment of the Technical University in Trondheim. Foreign direct investment seems to have larger knowledge spill-overs in Norway (oil, gas, offshore, chemistry, and marine) than the institutional knowledge infrastructure in established universities. The northern part of the country, which receives large government subsidies, shows a deviant pattern.
