David Doloreux's research while affiliated with HEC Montréal - École des Hautes Études commerciales and other places

... The theoretical background of this research has its roots in innovation management and Open Innovation (OI) research (Chesbrough, 2003), which encompasses the perspective of the innovation ecosystem (Adner and Kapoor, 2010;Remneland Wikhamn and Styhre, 2022), collaborative innovation (Greer and Lei, 2012;Heil and Bornemann, 2018), and hubs as spaces that enable collaborative R&D and innovation and knowledge creation (Peschl and Fundneider, 2012;Doloreux et al., 2023). In innovation management literature, the terms "space" and "place" are often used to refer to different types of environments supporting or facilitating innovation; both provide opportunities for interaction, collaboration, resources, and knowledge. ...

... Intermediaries are typical inhabitants of ecosystems that connect diverse actors of an ecosystem [4,7]. They can operate both at the network or system level and focus on the bilateral relationship to support individual organizations, and the significance of intermediaries lies in the maintenance, creation, and coordination of networks of interdependent and different actors [8][9][10]. In other words, intermediaries create the necessary links between different actors in an ecosystem and provide opportunities for the development of relations and cooperation between them. ...

... Recently, the Canadian National Government sought to stimulate the knowledge-intensive economy through a national policy initiative -termed 'Canada Superclusters' -around specific activities, such as digital technology, protein industries, advanced manufacturing, scale artificial intelligence, and oceans (Doloreux & Frigon, 2022). While this initiative is primarily geared to prompt economic impacts and commercial results, it can also help tackle persistent challenges such as ocean pollution or radical shift in the food sector. ...

... The first is that CIS use reflects the existence of some specific behaviours and capabilities that are constrained and 'bounded' by the institutional context in which firms operate (Malerba, 2004: 15): the relevant geographic context may not merely be local, or may also involve other spatial structures and institutions. A second explanation is that CIS use is principally connected to firm-level innovation activities and knowledge sources: in Quebec these do not vary across the metropolitan-periphery dimension (Doloreux & Shearmur, 2023). ...

... Moreover, universities are debating whether companies can maximise their profits in the medium and long terms. These can carry this out by implementing competitive strategies under the approaches of sustainability [53,54], corporate social responsibility [55], collaborative financing [56], international orientation [57], and public incentives [58]. ...

... Such potentials include, for example, short distance to specific natural resources or a specific climate, a protective space for experimentation, high institutional leeway, soft factors (high quality of life, a laid-back natural environment, local traditions and a certain image of rural areas which can be beneficial for the marketing of products, etc.) and cost incentives. When the differences across innovation types and stages are taken into account, it becomes clearer that some innovation process can work better in the periphery than the centre (Baumgartinger-Seiringer et al. 2022, Eder & Tripple 2019, Gluckler et al. 2022, Shearmur 2015. Peripherality can provide advantages to certain typologies of innovation that require slowness, radical departure from prevailing (urban) norms or resources (such as space, specific fauna, testing grounds, local culture) (Grabher 2018). ...

... These firm links are established through contractual relationships with other actors such as suppliers, clients, service providers, and competitors (Johanson & Mattsson, 1988;Mattsson & Johanson, 2006). This cluster analysis helps us to understand preferential partner linking pattern (e.g., national or regional preferences) between groups of actors based on our firm sample analysis (Turkina et al., 2020). ...

... Institutional collective action is hailed as a solution for delivering public services and urban regeneration initiatives [5,6,139]. These collaborations are viewed in this context as a collective result created by a network of actors related to its institutional environment [7,140]. Most of the research on institutional collective actions has concentrated on their nature, problems, and boundaries [9,22,141] rather than providing insight into how configurations of factors (internal and external to the initiatives) lead to successful services and results. ...

... The subjective weight is given by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The subjective weight is mainly based on the research of [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53], and the Yaahp software is used for weighting. The objective weight is given by entropy method. ...

... Este concepto se basa en el supuesto de que la colaboración puede convertirse en un importante facilitador del proceso innovador (Chesbrough, 2003). Desde esta perspectiva, la innovación es fuertemente dependiente de la generación, difusión y aplicación del conocimiento generado por diferentes actores (Doloreux et al., 2021). No obstante, hasta ahora ha habido poco consenso respecto a la contribución de cada una de las fuentes de conocimiento en el desarrollo de nuevos productos, constituyéndose en una de las áreas más escasamente exploradas en el campo de la innovación abierta (De Beule y Van Beveren, 2019). ...
