“…Nonetheless, the ecosystemic perspective can be set apart because it explicitly considers the dynamic, complex and non-linear relations among the members and it has a meso-territorial focus, meaning geographic proximity plays a key role [15]. This is why this perspective appears suitable for studying the technological transformation of social entrepreneurial forms, as shown by [16,17].…”

“…From this perspective, technology transfer is a milestone for developing a genre of technology-able social entrepreneurs, able to exploit technological innovations for the solution of societal problems, contributing in this way to inherently reorienting innovation systems and ecosystems toward socio-technical problems [17]. In spite of the relevance of this theme, literature of scarce literature on the topic is mostly scarce and anecdotal, mainly covered by Vila Seoane et al [26] and Friel and Patterson [27].…”

Technology Transfer for Social Entrepreneurship: Designing Problem-Oriented Innovation Ecosystems

Innovation systems are increasingly oriented towards the solution of societal and environmental problems. Social entrepreneurship can be regarded as a market-based actor, inherently aimed at finding solutions for these problems. The development of technologically advanced social entrepreneurship represents an outcome of problem-oriented innovation systems, requiring a closer link between social and technological innovation. Nonetheless, the literature has not yet explored a key element of these innovation systems: the technology transfer processes, which may enable social entrepreneurial organizations to act as innovation actors leveraging on technology. This paper investigates the relationship between the technology transfer processes targeting social entrepreneurship and different models of problem-oriented innovation ecosystems. The paper relies on a multiple-case-study design, including two problem-oriented innovation ecosystems in the Italian context, namely, MIND and Torino Social Impact, which are technology transfer projects designed to target social entrepreneurship. Drawing from content analysis of interviews, documents and direct observations, the results stress that the different objectives and contents of technology transfer, coupled with different perceptions of the idiosyncratic features of social entrepreneurship compared to commercial entrepreneurship, fit different ecosystem models in terms of the participating actors, governance and primary orientation to social or economic value generation.

“…Aquí se ha identificado una tendencia marcada, en los últimos dos años, en tanto las palabras clave que están emergiendo son: "sistemas de información", "emprendimiento", "inversiones", "comercio" y "desarrollo tecnológico". Esto se relaciona con que, para las Fuerzas Militares y la industria de defensa, el desarrollo tecnológico producto de la I+D+i, impacta a otras industrias civiles como una manera de cooperar, porque permite construir y actualizar tecnologías duales (civil-militar) de manera más rápida y económica, lo cual se logra con el uso de productos comerciales (Aloini, Dulmin, Mininno, Pellegrini & Farina, 2018;Chavez, Stinnett, Tierney & Walsh, 2017;Kerlooza, Setiawan & Asrianto, 2018;Lacity, Khan & Carmel, 2016;Maestre Góngora & Nieto Bernal, 2017;Simplício, Gomes & Romão, 2017;Sottilotta, 2016) Se evidencia dispersión en la publicación del conocimiento generado en el área de GTI en el sector defensa. Sin embargo, se determina que la revista holandesa "Technological Forecasting and Social Change" cuenta con 13 artículos publicados, que hablan de la temática.…”
