Innovation Economics - Science topic

What types of pro-environmental and/or pro-climate economic ventures are being carried out in your country as part of green entrepreneurship?

What kind of pro-environmental and/or pro-climate economic ventures are being carried out in your country that represent the development of green entrepreneurship?

What kind of pro-environmental and/or pro-climate economic ventures are carried out by citizens that represent green entrepreneurship development?

Are these, for example, innovative solutions implemented in the construction of small-scale, backyard electricity and/or heat generating power plants using renewable and emission-free energy sources?

Are they eco-innovations improving waste separation and recycling technologies? Or are they green technologies facilitating the capture of rainwater, which is then used for household purposes, agriculture, watering home gardens, etc.?

Or are they other kinds of eco-innovations, green technologies that contribute to green entrepreneurship?

Please reply,

I invite you all to discuss,

Thank you very much,

Best wishes,

I am looking for a total number of patents (with International Patent Classification) invented by Chinese listed companies in English and some financial information such as sales, R&D investment, leverage ratio, ROE, and so on from 2000-2020.

The studies carried out by different scholars show that, in both Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), innovation processes, in their scientific and technological context, are ineffective. Therefore, it is difficult to create an appropriate environment for the development of new and better products and services in such a way that the whole helps the social and economic growth of these countries (de la Torre, 2014; Lederman et.al. 2014, CAF, 2013, World Bank, 2014). Despite some scholars describe the problem as systemic, is Wicked Problem (Rittel, 1973) an adequate framework to formulate these difficulties?

I'm studying how to measure innovation in companies and propose a framework to apply in brazilian companies.

Do you know any innovation index or innovation maturity model? Could you share it?

I need to implement multilateral model in my research, which focusing on generation revenue. I need more mathematical models to develop my innovative economic transaction. I would be grateful if you could recommend practical references such as a paper/ journal of this modelling.

Firm profitability is generally regarded as an important precondition for long-term firm survival and success; moreover, the variable significantly affects the firm’s achievement of other financial goals. Another factor explaining the importance of firm profitability is its effect on economic growth, employment, innovation, and technological change. However, due to increasing competition, improved efficiency, and pricing pressure, firms are experiencing greater difficulty attaining the required profitability. The question of what factors determine profitability should accordingly be one of high priority for both researchers and practitioners, including managers, investors, debt holders, and policy makers.

I am studying the inclination of companies to associate a new trademark (TM) with the commercialization of radical innovations. 

Do you know examples of companies that decided to apply (or not apply) for a TM to commercialize a radical innovation (eg., a new product)? 

I am asking this because, on the one hand, firms may improve appropriability over the radical product thanks to the TM. But, on the other hand, a firm may have an existing TM, so choosing to use it to commercialize the product since that brand is already known among customers while the product is distant from their existing values. What do you think about?

Kindly advise about the existing theories about survival/success of a new startup? Is the the success and survival of entrep.activity affected more by personal traits or is it relying more on environmental pillars of regulative/normative boundaries or is it all around the revenue/customers/growth phenomenon?

What are different methods to measure the success/survival of an entrepreneurial activity and also please share the research work done in past especially based on GEM-if any?

Respected Readers please give your inputs to fine-tune it.

I intend to use world bank knowledge economy indices as independent variable to check the effect on new business and business established ( GEM variables) to check for the dominating factors out of 4 index factors.I have attached the model here.

Thanks.

The state institutions going for deregulation, offering contract jobs etc.Keeping in view the traditional environment and job-oriented society, now the things changing as more and more companies going for job-cuts and contractual job offerings, employees being offered a handsome package to leave jobs and survive on their own. 

My research is focused around those who opt to leave the jobs or made to leave the jobs, then how they survive? Its a case of necessity-driven entrepreneurship. Kindly provide some inputs and guide for references so that I may focus on this niche to address my question? Thanks.

There are a lot of articles and studies that mention the importance of innovative culture to reach innovation in products, process or organizational management. But, how does impact in sales or profits this "behaviour"?

That is what I want to analyse.

What could be the possible reasons that stakeholders of sustainable product development are supporting and contributing in the success of the product but innovation climate of the organization isn't moderating this relationship? Any references will be really helpful.

Knowledge spillovers and innovation

I assume that financially healthy companies may spend more on innovation activity. For the moment I use the measures of profitability (e.g. margins), liquidity (e.g. current ratio), and leverage. Could you suggest others?

Taking into account the evident shortage in financial resources, the increasing request for quicker investment returns and its misalignment with Drug discovery timelines. Will Open Innovation be a solution for the Pharma industry? and what should the model/strategy for OI be?

I'm looking for papers and books about the economics of science and technological parks, theoretically and empirically.

Theoretically, I want to understand the underlying logic and when science parks are a good or a bad choice.

Empirically, I'm looking for cost-benefit analysis: are they a good investment?

does the training policies exist in the MENA region, if yes does it affect the innovation?

how could the training affect the innovation

The moderating variable of environmental turbulence is not impacting the relation ship between individual creativity and team acceptance of that creative idea. The context is radical new product development. What could be the possible explanations for that? Any references?

Innovation and "innovativeness" (innovative capacity) are different realities or are the same?

Do you know validated scales to measure one and another?

The first is input and the other is output? Or vice-versa?

If so, What about process innovation is innovativeness (input) or is innovation (ouput)?

How to measure it differently?

Small firms mostly encounter the challenge of promoting innovations due to their limited resources. Accelerating the transfer of knowledge from external sources, knowledge spillovers enable the firms to acquire new knowledge and recognize invaluable opportunities. Thus, the utilization of knowledge spillovers would bring various beneficial consequences in all stages of open innovation process such as low cost knowledge acquisition, recognizing the opportunities of partnership, finding new ideas of commercializing unexploited technologies and adopting new methods of managing incentives and controls. However the spillover of knowledge would be available for all the competitors, only those strategically allocate their capabilities to explore new knowledge and exploit their innovations could gain more advantages. 

In this regards, some interesting questions would arise:

1) What kind of institutional mechanisms can promote open innovation through strategic use of knowledge spillovers?

2) How can firms decrease the cost of openness by utilizing knowledge spillovers? 

3) How would knowledge spillovers lead firms to integrate different forms of openness in order to experience the growth?

4) How can knowledge spillovers provide new ways for the firms to work with external actors?

5) How can knowledge spillovers widen the search breath and accelerate the process of scanning for the external expertise?

6) How can firms benefit from knowledge spillovers through different forms of open innovation such as Acquiring, Sourcing, Selling and Revealing?

Although GCI index is one of the most acceptable and recognized indicator of national competitiveness in the literature, it is not exempt of criticism. Lall (2001) indicated on many methodological, quantitative and analytical problem and dubbed the index "misleading". Van Sel indicated on two most serious problems with GCI (Van Stel et al, 2005). The index is not stable in short time even for developed economies ( USA have a 6th rank in 2007, and 1first in 2008), what questioned his standard. Moreover, GCI is not succeeded in predicting short and long-term economic growth, because it combines so many other variables such as entrepreneurial activity (Xia et al, s.47). However, the authors of newest Global Competitiveness Report state that GCI represent "the concept of competitiveness thus involves static and dynamic competitiveness and .... can explain an economy growth potential" (Global Competitiveness Report 2015-2014, p. 4).What is the true GCI validity for economic growth prediction?

The relationship between R&D innovation and economic development is widely acknowledged.Any industry is characterized by more investment in research and development, technical change, and  the output market and the ownership of intellectual properties that support ongoing innovation.

Today, many companies begin to green innovation, which is drived by customers, suppliers , rivals and others. The key question in this research is how to measure green innovation? If we use other variables to substidute this concept, R&D is available?

I would need mainly models that make use of real data at the local or regional level and firm-based, but any reference would be welcomed. Thanks!

With current debates on how firms are strategically modifying their appropriability regime and impact value creation has on value appropriation. Does Teece appropriability concept (1986)  based on its seminar work still relevant?

I am trying to do research about the relationship between exportation and innovation capabilities. I would like to compare Brasil and other countries. For the comparation, I need a dados and I don't know where I'll find it. And, I am inviting a researcher to follow this idea with me.

Accelerating radical innovation in new technology based firms.

In Uruguay, we are starting an industrial extension center with strong emphasis on innovation demand detection.

Can somebody suggest some review articles about "National Innovation capacity" or some articles that help me to write a good review article?

As you know CIS is a valuable source of information for innovation studies. However, it doesn't provide data about US companies. Therefore, I would like to know whether similar data are also available for US enterprises.

Many countries have engaged in the process of imitation of existing products and processes prior to starting to innovate. Taiwan, South Korea, China, Brazil...etc. Yet not all of them develop innovation capability. Any thoughts?

It will always be important to swim successfully in the red ocean by out-competing rivals.

This topic remains relevant in innovation management journals and innovation studies, however I see some scholars apply it without distinction. I wonder if there are any disciplinary differences between the terms.
