This paper develops an indicator framework for examining open innovation practices and their impact on performance. The analysis, which is based Community Innovation Survey (CIS) data Austria, Belgium, Denmark Norway, yields a number of interesting results. First, we find that have strong Second, results suggest broad-based approaches yield the strongest impacts, collective strategies appear more important than individual practices. Third, intramural investments are still innovative...

There has been a growing use of performance-based research funding systems (PRFS) as policy tool. With the introduction Publication Indicator in 2004, Norway joined this international trend which allocation basic funds is increasingly linked to performance indicators. The purpose article present and discuss main results recent evaluation Norwegian Indicator, examines Indicator's impact on publishing patterns, its properties, how it functioned practice.

Public sector innovation is often seen through the lens of private frameworks. This paper discusses to what extent typology derived from appropriate for public contexts. Based on a discretionary classification 1,536 qualitative examples innovations, authors examine nuances change spanning learning and incremental radical systemic innovation. Measurement frameworks should better reflect heterogeneity in sector.

In 2013, the European Union (EU) unveiled its new ‘Composite Indicator for Scientific and Technological Research Excellence’. This is not an isolated occurrence; policy-based interest in excellence growing all over world. The heightened focus on and, particular, attempts to define it through quantitative indicators can have important implications research policy conduct of itself. paper examines how EU's understanding has evolved recent years, from presentation Lisbon strategy 2000 current...

This paper assesses developments in innovation measurement that have been incorporated into the recent revision of Oslo Manual. Among most central points emphasized literature are a need for: data is adequate for analysis systems and policy-making; suitable framework to capture substantial activity within services. The new framework, which includes an expansion concept beyond technological product process more complete treatment linkages knowledge flows, provides greater coverage these...

Key questions here extent push factors such as labor market...

The growing use of performance-based research funding systems has motivated increased interest in how they influence researcher behavior. This article draws both on survey and publication data to examine developments behavior activity for individual researchers since the implementation Norwegian Publication Indicator 2004. is a system documenting academic publishing, with aim measuring allocating according publishing performance. A main feature model that publications are classified at two...

The experiences from Australia where undifferentiated publication counts were linked to funding of universities in 1993 is well known. Publication activity increased, but the largest increase was lower-impact journals, leading a general drop overall citation impact for Australia. experience has been warning what would most likely happen if activity. Nevertheless, 2005, performance-based model based on differentiated implemented Norway. specifically developed counter adverse effects like...

It examines empirical structure data collected in ‘Monitoring evolution benefits Innovation’ (MoRRI) project reports patterns across Europe. Factor analysis applied...

This paper investigates the cash flow effect on R&D investments for firms in Denmark. Evidence is found that internal funds are important explaining investments, indicating investment decisions affected by credit market imperfections. Cash sensitivities larger both smaller and with low debt relative to assets. Furthermore, this also present after controlling flow’s potential role as a predictor of future profitability.

These capture clusters reveal significant heterogeneity across Europe, providing point departure international learning, while also demonstrating challenges that institutions face their promotion Research Area, shared priorities common model Combining national-level...
