Purpose-washing? The strategic role of rhetoric
Creating shared value through open innovation
Despite the significant attention gained by the concept of creating shared value (CSV) over the past decade, there is a lack of empirical research on corporate practices that achieve social and environmental benefits through CSV dynamics. Through an in‐depth single case study, this research explores open innovation (OI) practices contributing to the grand challenge of climate change and their role as microfoundations in the three CSV dynamics pro…
Leveraging interorganizational networks to foster university-industry interactions
University-industry interactions are often criticized for being sporadic and unsystematic, which limits their overall potential for impactful innovation. This paper studies how universities can promote more structured and continuous interactions through formalized interorganizational networks with industry. Based on a six-year longitudinal study of a network created by a large university (i.e. the UniSMART Community at the University of Padova, I…
Hybrid organisations and regional development
This study theorises hybrid organisations as change agents employing place-based leadership to promote regional development. By integrating the concepts of the trinity of change agency and agency–structure duality, we triangulate qualitative evidence on 38 change actions implemented by four hybrid organisations. We conceptualise three distinct transformative strategies contributing to regional development: guiding, realising and orchestrating cha…
Fostering the development of the entrepreneurial university
The literature on Entrepreneurial University has emphasised the importance of encouraging and supporting the entrepreneurial intent of students, both PhDs and undergraduates. However, more research is needed about how PhD students can be supported in their entrepreneurial and technology transfer initiatives. This study seeks to contribute to this field by investigating how the entrepreneurial intent and entrepreneurial education of PhDs can impac…

This trend has led to a number of changes, among which is a transformation of the status of universities in urban and regional contexts and, in particular, an increase in their impact on the development of medium-sized university cities. From a methodological point of view the contribution of universities to …
