TY - JOUR T1 - Hybrid Entrepreneurship: How and Why Entrepreneurs Combine Employment with Self-Employment JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2017 A1 - Marina Z. Solesvik KW - definitions KW - hybrid entrepreneurs KW - hybrid entrepreneurship KW - risk taking KW - self-employment AB - Changes in the labour market and growth in the diversity of non-standard working arrangements have heightened the interest of policy makers and entrepreneurship researchers in “hybrid entrepreneurship”, which is a combination of employment and entrepreneurship. This form of entrepreneurship is particularly popular among highly educated professionals in the high-technology and R&D sectors. With the goal of improving our understanding and defining a research agenda for this phenomenon, I examined the relevant literature to clarify definitions and I undertook a research study to examine first-hand, through a longitudinal case study, the experiences of two hybrid entrepreneurs, one who intended to become a full-time entrepreneur and one who wish to be hybrid entrepreneur. The key result of the study emphasizes that hybrid entrepreneurs should not be considered as a homogeneous group: some hybrid entrepreneurs may always stay at their waged jobs and others may tend to become full-time entrepreneurs. The results have implications for policy makers wishing to encourage hybrid entrepreneurship and for researchers wishing to undertake further research into this phenomenon.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Innovation on the Open Sea: Examining Competence Transfer and Open Innovation in the Design of Offshore Vessels JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2015 A1 - Odd Jarl Borch A1 - Marina Z. Solesvik KW - Arctic KW - cooperative design KW - core competencies KW - offshore operations KW - Open innovation KW - shipbuilding AB - In this article, we discuss the role of open innovation in collaborative design processes in mature industries such as the shipping industry. We examine the design of high-tech offshore service vessels in environments characterized by high volatility and complexity. We elaborate on the role that accumulating and sharing core competences plays in speeding up the innovation process and increasing product value. We present a longitudinal case study of a shipping company implementing an open innovation approach that integrates its own core competences in offshore operations with the competences of ship designers and ship builders to develop a new design for challenging environments. In this article, we draw on an open innovation approach and a competence-based view to demonstrate how the firm can "reach out" to gain novel competences related to innovation, which may transform the competitive environment to the firm’s advantage. The article would be useful to innovation scholars and practitioners who work with innovative product development.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Partner Selection for Open Innovation JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2013 A1 - Marina Z. Solesvik A1 - Magnus Gulbrandsen KW - causation KW - effectuation KW - Norway KW - Open innovation KW - partner selection AB - In this article, we consider open innovation from the perspectives of: i) causation and effectuation, and ii) social networking. Our empirical evidence consists of a case study of a late-stage open-innovation project aimed at creating a hybrid ship that uses liquid natural gas and hydrogen as power sources. The results show that the effectuation approach is preferable to open innovation when the initiator of open innovation aims to keep sensitive information inside the closed group, when the initiator has established an effective team of representatives from other firms from earlier innovation projects, and when the participants are geographically close.
