Digital business activities in the peripheral regions of Germany
Building on earlier studies of urban-rural disparities, regional capabilities, and the specifics of entrepreneurial dynamics in the periphery, this paper investigates the relationship between a set of local framework conditions and digital business growth in the peripheral regions of Germany. It demonstrates that the latter primarily depends on a dynamic entrepreneurial activity, local knowledge stock and presence of digital qualifications while …
Managing the pandemic in German federal states
This paper analyses the effects that mobility restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic have had on different types of co-presence, which the existing literature considers to be central for science and innovation. Drawing on a regional analysis of COVID-19 restrictions in Germany, it links specific mobility restrictions to concrete impacts on co-presence, differentiating between co-presence in organizations, dynamic temporary co-presence, and the…
Relating popularity on Twitter and Linkedin to bibliometric indicators of visibility and interconnectedness
We analyse the degree to which the popularity of scientific authors on Twitter and LinkedIn corresponds to publication-based indicators as to their visibility and interconnectedness. Departing from the extant literature’s focus on the visibility of individual papers, we turn to the popularity of individuals on social media platforms. We explore whether this popularity is reflected in the visibility that researchers achieve and the collaborations …
Understanding researchers’ Twitter uptake, activity and popularity—an analysis of applied research in Germany
Social media is opening up new avenues for disseminating research outputs. While prior literature points to the essential role of Twitter in this context, evidence on what determines variation in researchers ́ Twitter engagement remains scarce. In this account-level study of Twitter usage, we consider how research productivity, research quality, and participation in academic conferences relate to Twitter uptake, activity and popularity, while als…
Can University Leaders Effectively Promote Research on Complex Societal Challenges? A Change-Agency Perspective
“Formal and informal networkedness among German Academics”
This paper builds on the established finding that the performance of scholars depends on their interpersonal networks. First, it seeks to clarify inconsistencies in existing findings by providing a comprehensive analysis of the effects of co-authorship among the overall population of actively publishing researchers from Germany. Second, it acknowledges that co-publication is only one very formal and explicit form of academic networking and develo…

Regional Innovation Profiles
In emerging economies such as China, marked by profound regional disparities in terms of socio-economic wealth and technology, different regions use not only different levels of inputs into the innovation process, but also produce different outputs with qualitative diversity that is seldom sufficiently acknowledged. This paper uses structured expert interviews (AHP) to provide insights into the innovation profiles of four selected Chinese regions…
Advancing the structured analysis of regional innovation in China. Integrating new perspectives in a comprehensive approach
Angesichts ausgeprägter Unterschiede der Entwicklungsverläufe chinesischer Regionen stellt dieser Beitrag einen Ansatz vor, der es erlaubt, vergleichende Studien zu regionalen Innovationssystemen und Innovationsergebnissen umfassender anzulegen als bisher. Es wird argumentiert, dass die vorherrschende Dichotomie zwischen umfangreichen Fallstudien einerseits und eindimensionalem quantitativen Benchmarking technologischer Kapazitäten andererseits d…
Smart specialisation strategies and cross-border integration of regional innovation systems
The aim of this paper is to provide insights into the implications of the European Commission’s smart specialisation agenda in a specific, cross-border context. The paper critically reflects on some of the RIS3 (research and innovation strategies for smart specialisation) agenda’s premises by illustrating its practical implementation in the Upper Rhine area (i.e. Alsace in France and Baden-Württemberg in Germany). The first section revisits not o…
From theory to practice in smart specialization strategy
The smart specialization strategy is now a reality. With regions and nations having completed the technical fulfillment of the ex-ante conditionality and the related action plans, the first evaluation studies have been launched with the aim to assess the consistency of the concept, once moving from the design (theory) to the implementation phase (practice). From these first evaluation exercises, strengths and weaknesses emerge in the way the smar…
Universities’ effects on regional GDP and unemployment
Efforts to Implement Smart Specialization in Practice—Leading Unlike Horses to the Water
This paper reflects on the implementation of the RIS3 policy agenda. Based on two surveys and various phone interviews, it underlines that Europe's diverse pattern of institutional arrangements poses locally contingent policy challenges in which regional governance capacities are at least as important an issue as techno-economic potentials. In detail, it demonstrates how Southern Europe profited from novel practices while Eastern Europe had to in…
Universities' Regional Involvement in Germany
Kroll H., Dornbusch F. and Schnabl E. Universities' regional involvement in Germany: how academics' objectives and opportunity shape choices of activity, Regional Studies. As acknowledged in prior studies, universities' patterns of regional involvement can differ widely and have to be considered from a much broader perspective than once suggested. This paper provides a first comprehensive identification of aspects underlying this diversity. Build…

Which Side of the Coin? The Regional Governance of Science and Innovation
Koschatzky K., Kroll H. (2007) Which side of the coin? The regional governance of science and innovation, Regional Studies 41, 1115–1127. The paper deals with the impact of recent trends in the devolution of political powers in science, technology and innovation policies. It argues that some problems are associated with this regionalization because the emerging multi-level governance structures turn political action into a complex bargaining proc…
