In the current business context, entrepreneurial orientation (EO) has been highlighted as key to improving firm performance. Despite overall positive evidence on association between EO and performance, scholars have stressed importance of taking into account properly managing intermediate capabilities. The present study analyses link New Product Development (NPD) considering Business Model Innovation (BMI) a mediating variable. A sample 400 Spanish SMEs is used test proposed research model...

In this discussion paper, we outline and reflect on some of the key challenges that influence development uptake more inclusive responsible forms research innovation. Taking these together, invoke Collingridge's famous dilemma social control technology to introduce a complementary 'societal alignment' in governance science, Considerations alignment are scattered overlooked among communities field innovation policy. By starting unpack dilemma, an agenda for further consideration study

Impact is increasingly important for science policy-makers. Science policy studies have reacted this heightened urgency by studying these policy-interventions meaning that has developed more quickly than theory. This led to the prevalence of a 'common sense' impact definition: research's societal are direct economic effects, such as income generated licenses, patents, and spin-out companies. These indicators recognized weak proxies benefits, in response, undertaken huge descriptive effort...

The analysis of how research contributes to society typically focuses on the study those transactions that are mediated through formal legal instruments (research contracts, patent licensing and creation companies). Research has shown, however, informal means technology transfer also important. This paper explores importance collaborations provides evidence extent which between researchers non-academic partners take place informally in social sciences humanities (SSH). Data is obtained from...

Recent policy discourse suggests that arts and humanities research is seen as being less useful to society than other disciplines, notably in science, technology, engineering mathematics. The paper explores how this assumption’s construction has been built whether it based upon an unfair prejudice: we argue for a prima facie case answer assuming research’s lower societal value. We identify set of claims circulating circles regarding mathematics differences. find two groups: mathematics,...

Abstract Science policymakers are devoting increasing attention to enhancing the social valorization of scientific knowledge. Since 2010, several international evaluation initiatives have been implemented assess knowledge transfer and exchange practices societal impacts research. Analysis these would allow investigation different channels their effects on society how could be evaluated boosted. The present study analyses sexenio programme, which is a first (pilot) assessment that was...

The purpose of this paper is to explore whether collaborating with public research organizations (PROs) contributes strengthening the innovation culture small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). We examine what extent their reinforced by collaborations investigate type organizational strategies that enhance effect collaboration. empirical study based on a survey firms collaborate largest Spanish PRO, National Research Council (CSIC). Our results indicate SMEs differ greatly in capacity...

The aim of this article is to present a new methodology that receives the name Pool Knowledge and will be useful for instructors management courses who teach in English / or Valencian. This also proposed as tool teaching other courses. It variant flipped methodology, known classroom , involves creation, by students students, educational materials learning. These are elaborated language which course taught shared common repository complementary study material students. During classes,...

This paper addresses debate of how research is utilized that questions measuring 'acts use' (patents, spin-offs, or license income). A science system a progressive business where builds upon diverse existing and knowledge. The extent utilization determined by the to which prior can feed into ultimately leads acts use. We use term 'knowledge transformers' refer users transform academic knowledge socio-economic domain, define 'usability' as ease with it may contribute transformers are able...

This article aims to provide a deeper understanding of the individual factors behind scientists' involvement in wide variety knowledge transfer and exchange (KTE) activities. By doing so, addresses three major shortcomings literature. First, this considers both formal informal KTE Secondly, study focuses not only on activities with private sector, but also other types agents. Thirdly, adopts an approach distinguish between predictors: capacities, training career trajectories, motivations....

Abstract This study takes a novel perspective on mobility as career script compliance to explore the factors that might influence how mobile academics in country perceive impact of international their overall academic progression and job options. We conduct country-level qualitative comparative analysis sample 24 European Union (EU) countries, based data from Commission’s MORE3 indicator tool. find these perceptions about are shaped by dominant patterns country, general perception particular...

En las últimas décadas se han comenzado a desarrollar políticas gubernamentales e institucionales para la promoción de divulgación del conocimiento científico. Este artículo explora implicación los investigadores en diversos tipos actividades divulgación, identificar si producen diferencias entre diferentes áreas científicas. El estudio analiza una muestra amplia pertenecientes ocho científicas Consejo Superior Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), que ha realizado encuesta sobre su...

Science policy increasingly focuses on maximising societal benefits from science and technology investments, but often reduces those to activities involving codifying selling knowledge, thereby idealising best practice academic behaviours around entrepreneurial superstars. This paper argues that value depends knowledge being used, making knowledge's eventual exploitation partly dependent upon whether other users—societal or scientific—can use (i.e. how far new is cognate with users' existing...

Within a research context dominated by an increasing interest in innovative learning methodologies management education, individual's capacity to establish links between existing and new knowledge, that is, absorptive (AC), has been surprisingly neglected (higher) education inquiry. This study helps close this gap investigating the role of students' AC on their academic performance. The also examines moderating effect relationship using traditional (such as lectures), interacting with...

Abstract Over the last decade, idea of societal impact resulting from publicly funded research has changed being a relatively fringe concern related to high-technology entrepreneurship and spin-off companies becoming an increasingly important public policy concern. This stimulated academic science investigate conceptualize how knowledge created in contexts can be coupled real-world problems or needs. Most work this stream focuses on ex post impacts, that is, impacts by individual activities...
