Intermediation in support systems for eco-innovation

Intermediation in innovation

Intermediation in Innovation1 by Heidrun C. Hoppe2 and Emre Ozdenoren3 The paper offers a new theoretical framework to examine the role of intermediaries between creators and potential users of new inventions. Using a model of universityindustry technology transfer, we demonstrate that technology transfer offices can provide an opportunity to economize on a critical component of efficient innov...

Adapting Innovation Systems Indicators to assess Eco-Innovation

A large amount of work has analysed systems approaches to innovation and investigated associated methods of innovation measurement. However, relatively little of this literature has discussed the measurement of eco-innovation. Policies and measures to promote eco-innovation are hampered by a lack of relevant data and indicators. Hence, the research reported here aimed to assess whether innovati...

Taking advantage of emergence for complex innovation eco-systems
