ER - TY - JOUR T1 - A University Business School as an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Hub JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2019 A1 - Haven Allahar A1 - Ron Sookram KW - entrepreneurial ecosystems KW - entrepreneurial university KW - entrepreneurship education KW - quadruple helix KW - triple helix KW - university business incubation AB - This article assesses the progress of a business school toward achieving the status of an entrepreneurial ecosystem hub with emphasis on the components related to entrepreneurial universities, entrepreneurship education, university business incubators, and university-enterprise-government-civil society collaboration. The objective of a business school serving as an entrepreneurial ecosystem hub, is to stimulate economic development, generate employment, and create innovative technology-based ventures or service businesses. These components are discussed from theoretical and practical viewpoints in order to provide greater understanding of the concepts. An insider action research assessment of the university-affiliated business school was conducted to gauge the progress made in building an embryonic entrepreneurial ecosystem centered upon a business school as a hub. Emphasis is placed on the need to develop strong collaboration among key stakeholders for achieving success in building an effective entrepreneurial ecosystem based on a quadruple helix system, consistent with the lead-in quotation to the article.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Exploring the Use of Stakeholder Analysis Methodology in the Establishment of a Living Lab JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2018 A1 - Marius Imset A1 - Per Haavardtun A1 - Marius Stian Tannum KW - action research KW - autonomous vessels KW - living labs KW - management KW - maritime KW - Open innovation KW - quadruple helix KW - stakeholder analysis AB - This article explores how to conduct a cost-effective stakeholder analysis to investigate opportunities and interest in establishing a living lab for an autonomous ferry connection. Using an action research approach, we share our experiences with the process and results, and we reflect openly on the strengths and weaknesses of both the stakeholder methodology generally as well as our own implementation specifically. According to the cyclic nature of action research and experiential learning, the research was conducted in two iterations, with the second iteration drawing upon input from the first. We compare and discuss these two approaches in terms of costs and benefits from a practitioner’s perspective. The article provides a contribution to stakeholder analysis methodology for complex, multi-stakeholder innovation initiatives, such as living labs.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - All Australian Regions Are Not Born Equal: Understanding the Regional Innovation Management Sandpit JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2016 A1 - Anton Kriz A1 - Courtney Molloy A1 - Alexandra Kriz A1 - Sabrina Sonntag KW - action research KW - constructed advantage KW - phronesis KW - pivot KW - quadruple helix KW - regional innovation management sandpit KW - RIS3 KW - smart specialization KW - strategic management KW - triple helix AB - In this article, we highlight and challenge an overly simplistic assessment of regions and regional innovation systems in Australia. Treating each region and place as equal and prescribing blanket policy is anathema to the reality. Having argued that places are not equivalent, we then move on to highlight that commonalities at a deeper institutional level are possible. We draw on fieldwork and ongoing action research from the Australian regions of Hunter and Central Coast (New South Wales) and Northern Tasmania. Results of the theory and case work have been instrumental in the development of 11 structural attributes of a regional innovation management (RIM) sandpit framework. The framework provides attributes but also important process insights related to regional programs, enterprise development, and project innovations. Although developing from the Australian context, we expect that the RIM Sandpit and its place-based insights can be generalized to other regions around the world.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Making Smart Regions Smarter: Smart Specialization and the Role of Universities in Regional Innovation Ecosystems JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2015 A1 - Markku Markkula A1 - Hank Kune KW - innovation KW - innovation ecosystems KW - quadruple helix KW - role of universities KW - smart cities KW - smart regions KW - smart specialisation KW - smart specialization KW - societal innovation KW - triple helix AB - What makes a "smart region" smarter? We argue that it is the active orchestration of the regional ecosystem around concepts such as knowledge co-creation and exploitation, opportunity exploration, and capacity building. Simply adding to the proliferation of software developers in the area, stimulating the activities of business clusters around information technology, and providing digitally enabled services for citizens is not enough to make a region smarter. Smartness is enhanced by a well-orchestrated regional innovation ecosystem with a strong "smart specialization strategy" that leverages the new societal roles played by universities. In this article, we describe the European Commission’s program for research and innovation strategies for smart specialization (RIS3) and show how the Helsinki Region in Finland is using smart specialization, ecosystem orchestration, and the active role of universities to enhance regional innovation and the "smartness" of the region. These activities are discussed in the context of policy documents and strategy papers from regional, national, and European authorities, which illustrates some differences between papers and practice. This is work in progress, and based on early results, we draw initial conclusions about how putting policy into practice can make smart regions smarter.
