The relationship between breakthrough and incremental innovation remains one of the more important issues in innovation theory and in national innovation policy. Using a comparative historical approach, in this paper, we analyze the rise and fall of Germany as a science and innovation leader of...

The phenomenon of entrepreneurial universities has received considerable attention over the last decades. An entrepreneurial orientation by academia can lead to innovative and sustainable products and research mobilization which help in putting regions and nations in an advantageous position in...

This paper contributes to the burgeoning literature about the knowledge economy by addressing the question of which intellectual-based institutions in an economy contribute the greatest amount to economic growth. In particular, we posit a theoretical model that compares the research efficiency...

Since the appearance of the Triple Helix model of innovations, various extensions of the model to higher dimensions, Quadruple, Quintuple, and N-tuple helices, had been proposed. Systemness of growing number of innovation system patterns can be expected to need classification. Also of no less...

Discourses matter. They help to shape institutions and policies. A new discourse has emerged in recent EU innovation policy centred on the idea of a knowledge-based bio-economy (KBBE). It is officially defined as ‘the sustainable, eco-efficient transformation of renewable biological resources...

Using the case of European Union Cooperation in Science and Technology Actions, this paper investigates why despite the small scale of funding provided and substantial scientific and management workload, researchers are increasingly interested in formal networking research funded by the European...

The research provides an empirical assessment of the evolution dynamics of a cluster knowledge network and investigates the role of clustered firms’ absorptive capacity in shaping the knowledge network in time and space. In the study emphasis is put on the empirical analysis through the use of...
