The advent of a new generation wireless communications has punctuated the dawn every decade in recent times. Upgrades to mobile electronic systems represent faster and more robust capabilities data transfer but bring with it wide set complementary changes as they are underpinned by harmonised specific spectrum bands, fresh international technical standards, network operation requirements, innovative cellular devices well services broader array potential commercial use applications. This...

Transition to a Circular Economy (CE) is about structural change and predicated on the introduction of transformative eco-innovation (EI). Research CE–EI nexus has recently attracted attention both from an analytical regulatory perspective. However, in-depth research exploring EI dynamics within CE still marginal, especially concerning trends pro-CE innovation policy strategy. This paper addresses this gap by taking advantage burgeoning last 20 years offers new working synthesis. By...

At the intersection of regional and innovation studies, trademark research is producing stylized facts, methodological lessons policy insights underlining importance softer intangible assets for resilience growth.Despite all recent attention, there are still several opportunities that present agenda-framing piece tries to canvas, identifying at least two directions further research: geography innovation/entrepreneurship specialization/diversification.Not only do these emerge from a dedicated...

This analysis of over 90,000 secondary battery innovations (measured by international patent families) provides a comprehensive account the long-run progress knowledge base with key role in transition to transformative, closed-loop, Circular Economy. Innovation accelerated globally from 2000 2019, sustained dynamic mostly originating Asia. Patterns less toxicity and more diversity technological trajectories are detected found bear evidence pro-circularity. We find number emergent...

The article discusses recent advances and future challenges in innovation studies.First, it separately considers four main strands of research, studying at the organisational, systemic, sectoral macroeconomic levels.Then, considering field as a whole, points to existence important neglected topics methodological for research.In fact, several fundamental issues are still unexplored, such coevolution between technological institutional change; role demand; impacts on individual collective...

Understanding which drivers and barriers exist in the development of a Circular Economy (CE) is relevant timely endeavour. The aim this paper to contribute debate by analysing evidence regarding different factors helping hampering CE. Specifically, focuses on eco-innovation (EI) pathway towards CE, tries coordinate available but fragmented findings how "transformative innovation" can foster transition while removing obstacles sustainability. Drawing upon new corpus both academic non-academic...

Abstract The fragmentation of the literature on intermediaries between university and industry has led to a disorganised confused theoretical landscape. This research addresses this gap in by proposing an analytical tool that can be used as guidance. For purpose, work provides taxonomy these classifies them into five different classes. To end, we review 125 studies university–industry cooperation (UIC) intermediaries. In addition general innovation-related information, extracted specific...

The Oslo Manual is the internationally recognized reference for guiding collection and interpretation of evidence on innovation. This research explores its three-decade-long implementation influence, emphasizing role within community. We assess content’s quantity quality through an advanced bibliometric textmetric analysis over 1300 papers published in indexed journals. Our study offers evidence-based understanding Manual’s adoption impact, elucidating disciplinary integration, geographical...

Abstract The “Network Society” is an analytical concept developed by Manuel Castells to describe a new form of societal organisation underpinned microelectronics and based on information flows. Since it was introduced in the 1990s, this key contribution social theory has framed much academic research policy-relevant worldviews when comes understanding contemporary digital ways. By quantitatively exploring impact his contributions, study inquires how Castells’ received scientific communities...
