“…Although peripheral, Galicia not only pioneered the use of PPI in Spain but also institutionalised it as an instrument for innovation policy (Sánchez-Carreira et al, 2019). 40% of the total investment in PPI in Spain was done in Galicia (€112M) between 2007 and 2014, and €90M has so far been spent in this region in the 2014-2020 period.…”

“…In this paper we conceptualize the multiple roles of public procurement in (regional) innovation policy, and explore the complexities and institutional work associated with its implementation, using the empirical case of Galicia in Spain. A peripheral region, Galicia has pioneered the use of PPI as a means to nurture innovation and entrepreneurship, and more recently the articulation of regional diversification and transformation initiatives (Sánchez-Carreira et al, 2019).…”

“…The impact of innovation on the regional system is studied in research by Gordon & McCann (2005), Hansen & Winther (2011), Sánchez-Carreira et al (2018, Scott & Storper (2003), Prodani et al (2019). A series of works reveals the functioning of the economic mechanism of a region and presents the influence of various indicators on economic space relatedness (Simmie & Martin 2010).…”

The study is aimed at assessing the impact of several indicators of investment appeal, namely, domestic research and development expenditure and the rate of employment, on the inflow of investment to a region. The Russian regions' data were used to run factorial analysis of variance of investment in fixed assets against the variance of R&D expenditure and rate of employment: factors' influence was estimated significant with a greater impact from domestic R&D expenditure on the capital expenditure. The study proves that investors, when making decisions about investing their funds, pay attention primarily to the extent of intellectual potential development in a region, rather than to labor availability. Consequently, the strong influence of this factor on the inflow of investment makes it possible to conclude that regions that have reached the greatest level of intellectual potential development have every reason to be the most attractive for investors.

“…Positioning the present study Although research on PPoI is still scant, it is important to recognize extant contributions and position the present study accordingly. Overall, existing literature on public procurement of innovation includes conceptual papers that articulate concepts and frameworks for public procurement of innovation (Rolfstam, 2012a) and empirical studies that investigate the importance of the public sector as the first user of innovations (Dalpé et al (1992), its execution (Edler and Yeow, 2016) and impact (Sánchez-Carreira et al, 2018). Table I provides examples of extant literature on the subject including the objective and insights provided by each paper.…”

“…Such changes include fostering innovation (Karjalainen and Kemppainen, 2008). Sánchez-Carreira et al (2018) note that the role of PPoI to promote regional development may be even more important in peripheral regions given the lack of institutional and technological capabilities experienced in these regions. Overall, it appears that there is a general consensus on the efficacy of public procurement to promote innovation.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the drivers, enablers, barriers, key success factors, pitfalls and benefits of implementing public procurement of innovations (PPoI) in an organization. Design/methodology/approach The study deployed multiple-case design, whereby six case organizations were selected according to purposeful sampling. Data collection was carried out through in-depth semi-structured one-on-one interviews with key informants. Data analysis involved coding, synthesis, categorization and aggregation. Findings The study revealed that implementation of PPoI represents significant change in an organization, and thus, it identifies key enablers and barriers that organizations must overcome. Furthermore, the study revealed that implementation of PPoI is a necessary but not sufficient condition for reaping its benefits. Moreover, the study identified key success factors for achieving the desirable results and potential pitfalls that organizations should avoid to ensure that the execution phase is not hurt. Social implications Overall, the findings of the study imply that PPoI and the practices associated with it are valuable to the organizations implementing it and society at large. Thus, time and financial investments and the costs associated with the challenges and barriers of implementing it are justified by the resulting wider benefits and outcomes. Originality/value The study contributes by providing useful insights related to implementation of PPoI at an organizational level. Considering that extant literature provides limited insights on this subject, findings of this study should be of interest to researchers, public authorities, procurement practitioners, small- and medium-sized enterprises and other stakeholders. In particular, the study contributes to the body of knowledge on PPoI and offers actionable implications to both practitioners and policymakers.
