Increasingly technological innovation results from the joint creation effort of different players in the value chain, such as suppliers, customers, research centers and universities. Balancing cooperative and competitive forces in the innovation process to co-create value and to capture part of this value has therefore become crucial to profit from ...

With so much belt-tightening going on, pouring precious financial resources into partnerships with universities might seem an unnecessary extra. But think twice before cutting these long-term R&D investments: the money you save today could be the innovation, and consequently, the competitive edge, you lose tomorrow. The author examines the integral ...

Exporting firms are typically the more productive firms in an economy. Based on this observation, policy makers typically enact policies to stimulate exportation by domestic firms. In this chapter, we argue that firms make productivity enhancing investments and as a result the more productive firms start an export activity, which might make these firms ...

Science has been shown to be an important driver of economic growth and performance. In this chapter we take a careful look at a key ingredient of this driver for Catalonia: the link between science and business. We argue that the Catalan innovation system faces three important challenges in order to better connect science to business: 1) the need ...

Using patent data from the European Patent Office combined with firm-level data, we evaluate the contribution of science linkages to the innovation performance of a firm at the patent level. We examine the effect of (i) firm-level linkages to science (firms active in publication and co-publication), and (ii) invention-specific linkages (patents with ...

Minoli is forming a plan for the "relaunch" of Ducati and will be presenting it to investors for support ...

In this paper, we explore the relationship between innovation activity, productivity, and exports, using a panel of Spanish manufacturing firms for 1990-1998. Our results -based on non-parametric tests- suggest that firm innovation status is critical in explaining the positive export-productivity association documented in prior research. For the sample ...

In this pilot study we examine the performance of text-based profiling in recovering a set of validated inventor-author links. In a first step we match patents and publications solely based on their similarity in content. Next, we compare inventor and author names on the highest ranked matches for the occurrence of name matches. Finally, we compare ...
