Innovation intermediaries' types and functions
Innovation intermediaries have become numerous and diverse. Faced with this growing heterogeneity, there is the need to advance understanding of the organisations that engage in innovation intermediation activities. To do so, we use a combination of text mining and bibliometric techniques, and we identify seven different streams of literature, six of which refer to distinct types of intermediaries that perform specific functions and often involve…
New business models for public innovation intermediaries supporting emerging innovation systems
Mapping regional strengths in a key enabling technology
The Internet of Things (IoT) can trigger innovation processes across all sectors of the economy. However, this potential is not available to all regions. As with other enabling technologies, the competences required to develop IoT solutions are numerous and varied, ranging from hardware to software and related services, and are often provided by different companies. To map the application potential of these technologies across European regions, w…
Crowdsourcing and Covid ‐19
We discuss how public administrations have used crowdsourcing to find solutions to specific problems posed by the COVID‐19 pandemic, and to what extent crowdsourcing has been instrumental in promoting open innovation and service co‐creation. We propose a conceptual typology of crowdsourcing challenges based on the degree of their openness and collaboration with the crowd that they establish. Using empirical evidence collected in 2020 and 2021, we…
What kinds of R&D consortia enhance SMEs productivity? A hierarchical Bayesian approach for the analysis of a regional innovation policy
Regional policy mixes for enterprise and innovation
The paper identifies different regional policy mixes, ranging from the more minimal to the more proactive or entrepreneurial and verifies their diffusion in the Italian regional enterprise and innovation policies. The empirical analysis is based on an original database containing every enterprise and innovation programme that has been implemented in Italy from 2007 to 2013, and is carried out by means of fuzzy-set clustering techniques. The resul…
Public–private partnerships and beyond
Roberts and Siemiatycki, 2015; Siemiatycki, 2015). In many countries, their use has been encouraged in order to facilitate the growth of innovation and development processes in times of crisis and public budget constraints (Roumboutsos and Saussier, 2014).In Europe, for example, a recent EU directive concludes a path of reform started in the first half of the 2000s, which had simplified the regulatory framework imposed upon the procurement of pub…
Cognitive distance in public procurement and public–private partnerships
Public–private partnerships (PPPs) are understood as collaborative devices that can be used to achieve both efficiency and innovation. For this potential to be realized, however, some significant obstacles to effective collaboration must be overcome, such as the cognitive distance that often separates public and private agents. In order to deepen our understanding of the collaboration problem, this article assesses the size and characteristics of…
Founders and disseminators of cluster research
The purpose of this article is to review cluster research and its evolution by considering the works of the most prominent researchers in the field over an extended period of time using a bibliometric analysis based on statistical analysis and social network tools. The point of departure is an original database, created by the authors, consisting of 1586 academic articles about clusters or industrial districts that were published from 1989 to 201…
Place-renewing leadership
The forces of globalisation now impacting on local economies pose threats to the existing paradigm of competences and routines, yet simultaneously offer opportunities to integrate new knowledge and learning. This is particularly pertinent with respect to Europe's ‘mature regions’, which are undergoing a major economic restructuring by trying to shift from traditional manufacturing activities to hybrid activities that comprise a combination of man…
