“…This evidence backs COTEC's (Fundacio´n para la innovacio´n tecnolo´gica, Spain, 1999) opinion that Spanish firms consider ROs to be valuable sources of information to acquire basic knowledge, but lack confidence in the potential of these institutions to achieve radical innovations. This situation is mirrored in a large number of European countries, where collaboration between private firms and public research institutions is much less frequent than firm-to-firm collaborations (DeBresson et al, 1998;Drejer and Jørgensen, 2005). Authors such as Drejer and Jørgensen (2005) make this point when they stress the need for policy-makers to promote this type of public-private collaboration.…”

“…Research organisations (ROs; Universities and Technological Institutes) have not traditionally focused on filling out the innovation processes of firms, but on providing them with new scientific and technological knowledge (Lundvall, 1992;Drejer and Jørgensen, 2005). This has changed, however, in the last few years and ROs have been under considerable pressure to move closer to industry for two main reasons.…”

“…Networking reflects a recognition that technological innovations are less and less the outcome of an individual firm's isolated efforts (Fischer and Varga, 2002;Drejer and Jørgensen, 2005). Despite the increasing number of studies on the effects of networks on firms' technological activities (Miotti and Sachwald, 2003;Belderbos et al, 2004a;Faems et al, 2005;Hoang and Rothaermel, 2005), understanding their impact remains an important and under-researched topic in the literature on management innovation (Amara and Landry, 2005).…”

The importance of diverse collaborative networks for the novelty of product innovation

2007

Competition today is driving firms to introduce products with a higher degree of novelty. Consequently, there is a growing need to understand the critical success factors behind more novel product innovations. This paper theoretically and empirically analyzes the role of different types of collaborative networks in achieving product innovations and their degree of novelty. Using data from a longitudinal sample of Spanish manufacturing firms, our results show that technological collaborative networks are of crucial importance in achieving a higher degree of novelty in product innovation. Continuity of collaboration and the composition of the collaborative network are highly significant dimensions. Collaboration with suppliers, clients and research organizations in this order have a positive impact on the novelty of innovation, while collaboration with competitors has a negative impact. The greatest positive impact on the degree of innovation novelty comes from collaborative networks comprising different types of partners.

“…Cooperation with universities and public research institutions can be an important source of new scientific and technological knowledge. Prior research has demonstrated that university collaboration can, for instance, lead to development of new (radical) applications of already existing technology (Archibugi & Coco, 2004;Arvanitis, Kubli, & Woerter, 2008;Drejer & Jorgensen, 2005). Universities and research centers can be attractive for industry partners providing low-cost access to generic R&D (Arranz & Arroyabe, 2008;Beers, Berghall, & Poot, 2008;Mototashi, 2005).…”

Sewer orientated framework for ensemble‐based chance‐constrained model predictive control

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this work, we present a framework for ensemble‐based (E) chance‐constrained (CC) model predictive control (MPC) in sewer systems. The framework considers the availability of ensemble forecasts and the difficulties with propagation of distributions; through distribution estimation. Utilizing a case study of the sewer network of the city of Aarhus in Denmark, the performance of the ECC‐MPC framework is evaluated through simulations. The evaluations were based on linear models of the case study and compare the ECC‐MPC performance with the performance of CC‐MPC. Based on the simulations, it was found that the ECC‐MPC performed comparable to the performance of the CC‐MPC, not only in the context of overflow and outflow but also with respect to behavior in response to changes in different aspects of forecast uncertainties. Regarding the aspects, it was found that expectation offset biases in the forecast were affecting the performance of the CC‐ and ECC‐MPC the most. While other aspects only had a reduced effect on the performances, within the ranges tested. With the comparable performances, it was found that ECC‐MPC would work as an alternative approach to CC‐MPC.
