Bouncing forward better – micro-foundations of combinatorial innovation! 🚀 Check out this new article that explores the micro-foundations of combinatorial innovation. Transformative activities with high complexity and novelty are made possible through combinatorial innovation, which is why it's important to understand the conditions that empower entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs to pursue it. https://lnkd.in/d4f47kgA The article highlights that agents' time perspective and combinatorial capabilities are crucial for combinatorial innovation. Institutional incentive structures and knowledge bases condition time perspective, whereas network structures and firm routines condition combinatorial capabilities. Practical examples are provided to illustrate these arguments and show their relevance for policy and innovative actors. This is a relevant article for anyone interested in promoting innovation and driving transformative change. I extend my thanks to my collaborators Marte Cecilie Wilhelmsen Solheim and Björn T. Asheim, and to Stig-Erik Jakobsen who made this possible as part of the RegReSir project.

📚 Are you looking for an overview of the extant literature on Impact in entrepreneurship research? In this new paper published in Review of Managerial Science , Giorgia Scartozzi, Silvia Delladio, Francesco Rosati, Argyro (Iro) Nikiforou  and  Andrea Caputo  conducted a #bibliometric analysis and a #systematic literature #review. They reviewed 172 journal articles published between 2004 and 2023 in 76 journals. They identified four thematic clusters: Cluster 1: social entrepreneurship for societal impact Focus: the role of social entrepreneurship as catalyst for societal change. Cluster 2: entrepreneurship for sustainable development Focus:  the impact of entrepreneurship on the development of solutions to societal grand challenges Cluster 3: female entrepreneurship for institutional change Focus:  female entrepreneurship as a means to social and institutional change. Cluster 4: entrepreneurship for inclusive regional development Focus: the  role of entrepreneurship in fostering regional and local development, including local economic growth and social well-being. 🔎 Read the full paper here  https://lnkd.in/gerxDgjz #BibliometricAnalysis #SystematicReview #AcademicResearch #OpenAccess #ImpactResearch

🇪🇺 ON-CALL PROJECTS EXPLOITATION PLAN & STRATEGY. 🎓 The utilization of the project's outcomes at various stages, both during and after its implementation, is commonly referred to as exploitation. This concept encompasses the necessary measures taken to raise awareness about the project, engage the target groups, end-users, stakeholders, and integrate the results into their professional domains. Exploitation primarily revolves around persuading key actors to adopt the project's main products. Moreover, it plays a crucial role in ensuring the project's sustainability by guaranteeing that its outcomes are utilized by the target groups and potentially transferred to different contexts, such as other countries, pedagogical areas, or sectors. 🎯 AIM:- The purpose of the exploitation plan is to outline the necessary actions to ensure the project's sustainability once the European grant has concluded. 📑 The Exploitation Plan/Strategy:- 🔹 It encompasses precise suggestions and directives on how interested stakeholders can utilize the outputs and outcomes of the ON-CALL project. 🔹 It outlines our approach to engaging the project-specific target groups in the development of ON-CALL. 🔹 It is designed to structure the exploitation process, provide guidance to the entire consortium, and can be organized by tiers, setting out the objectives, methods/activities, and target audiences to be engaged. 🔹 It is essential for the plan to clearly outline and elaborate on the tasks to be carried out, as well as the responsibilities and crucial deadlines to ensure the adoption and longevity of the project's outcomes.

Are there important bridging points that can allow for conceptualizing #digital #entrepreneurship? The broader influence of #digitaltechnologies on entrepreneurship has only recently started to emerge in the entrepreneurship #literature. This development calls for a re-evaluation of both #digitaltechnology theory and entrepreneurship theory, while also seeking key connection points that can help integrate these two fields. This paper asks if there are important bridging points that can allow for conceptualizing digital entrepreneurship? This conceptual paper aims at identifying, specifying/defining key constructs (agency, structure and artifacts) and clarifying their inter-relatedness. The author argues that there is more to understanding growth-oriented #digitalentrepreneurship than a strong market-orientation and a choice of specific means to that end. @John P.

We George Joseph Zakkariya K.A. are so delighted that our research paper titled 'Entrepreneurial cognition and premature scaling of startups: a qualitative analysis of determinants of start-up failures', in the journal Journal of Entrepreneurship in Emerging Economies (WoS, Q1 journal (Impact Factor 3.60)), has won an award for Outstanding Paper in the 2024 Emerald Literati Awards. Thank you Emerald Publishing and Professor Jun Li for the opportunity! This study explores the behavioral patterns, cognitive styles, and personality traits of entrepreneurs that contribute to premature scaling during the transition from a fledgling business to one capable of long-term growth. Using self-regulation attitude theory and interviews with technology start-up entrepreneurs, the study identifies six key themes, including cognitive biases like overconfidence and mistaken customer priorities, as well as emotional factors like impatience and emotional over-reaction. The findings highlight the importance of self-discipline and strategic thinking in overcoming these challenges to avoid self-destructive decisions. https://lnkd.in/d4-E2n-t #LiteratiAwards #NVIVO #qualitativeresearch #contentanalysis #thematicanalysis #entreprenuership #cusat #smscusat

I am so happy to see this important report come to light. Thank you Citizens Research Council of Michigan, especially Bob Schneider and Eric Lupher, for your important work in this space. Here are some thoughts and takeaways: 1. If Michigan wants to attract and retain our best and brightest, we need to grow #jobs they care about. #Michigan is home to leading edge #research and #startup activity that promises the jobs and economic transformation that can take us into the future. We underinvest in these areas today and, in fact, have systematically cut back investment for years while other states have doubled down. We can't win the future game this way. 2. Places like Boston's life sciences corridor would not exist were it not for focused, decades' long investment. The City of Austin attracted the U.S. Army Futures Command Center because they organized and worked a strategy. To this day, the Texas Foundation for Innovative Communities helps drive data-backed strategy and collaboration that have transformed that community. Michigan needs long-term thinking, vision, and strategy--alongside meaningful public and private investment--if we want our future technology clusters and jobs to flourish. 3. We have been underinvesting, but there are plenty of places within the state budget or through other mechanisms that could help us move in a new direction. We have the way, we just need the will, which seems to be growing. This report underscores that the ROI for such support is $5:$1. We can do it, and we should. Turns out public policy and innovation can go hand in hand. In fact, some good public policy, combined with economic inclusion, could be Michigan's Innovation X-factor!
