  1. Business Innovation Compass and Navigation Tool demonstration Professor Daniel Örtqvist Luleå University ofTechnology Sweden

  2. The map

  3. Project deliveries • Literature review • Regional inventory • Development of compass and navigator • Administration of pre-study • Development of an interactive tool based on the compass • Knowledge dissemination by 5 published scientific articles

  4. Everything started... • 1992 when Philip Cooke published the study ”Regional innovation systems: Competitive regulation in the new Europe” in Geoforum • The origin of the concept lies in two main bodies of theory and research. • Systems of innovation, based on evolutionary theories of economic and technological change • Regional science with focus on explaining the socio-institutional environment where innovation emerges • The concept of regional innovation systems has emerged at a time of a policy focus toward systemic promotion of localized learning processes to secure competitive advantage of regions

  6. Development of the field Cooke, Uranga & Etxebarria (1997) The best configuration of a Regional Innovation System can be evaluated from a dual perspective: (a) From a regionalisation approach, relating the region to its competence (jurisdiction) capacity, valuing its degree of autonomy to develop policies and manage the different elements that make up the regional system, as well as financing capacity for strategic investments in infrastructures absolutely necessary for the development of innovation processes. (b) From a regionalism approach, related to the region's cultural base which gives it a certain level of systemic potential. Financial, learning and productive 'cultures' may exist to facilitate systemic innovation at regional level. Cooke (2001) Claim that the source for Europe's innovation gap with USA is due to reliance on public intervention, signaling higher degrees of market failure. Necessitates institutional and organizational support. Suggests RSI potential to depend upon infrastructural and superstructural levels. The latter further divided into institutional and organizational (both firm and policy) dimensions. Acs, Anselin & Varga (2002) Establishes that the measure of patented inventions provides a fairly good, although not perfect, representation of innovative activity in a regional innovation system. Muller & Zenker (2001) Results suggests that interacting SMEs and knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) are more oriented towards innovation than non-interacting firms. Further, the study suggests that there are regional differences concerning SMEs and KIBS innovation and interaction behaviour. Those differences reflect disparities in the generation and diffusion of knowledge by firms. These in turn induce inequalities in terms of innovation capacities and performance. Asheim & Isaksen (2002) RIS are dependent on the interaction of external contacts and regional resources. The latter in particular is place-specific and contextual knowledge of both tacit and codified nature Cooke (1992) The main conclusions of the paper are that learning through interaction' with more dynamic, institutionally networked regions in other parts of Europe can produce evidence of very rapid institutional reactions, although there is a time lag before the economic performance and dynamism of business is harmonized across regions. Nevertheless, the case of regulatory intervention in the development of a network innovation system in Wales testifies to the importance of a regulatory perspective which is equal to tackling the liberating, as well as the controlling, dimensions of regulatory activity. Sternberg (2000) Describes the basic concepts for explaining network-oriented regional development and the essential features of the European Regional Innovation Survey (ERIS). Between 1995 and 1999 ERIS carried out three extensive surveys in 11 European regions with a total return of 8635 questionnaires, in an effort to identify, systematize, and quantify linkages between innovative players. The question of the range of such innovative linkages plays a central role in this analysis. 1992 2000 2010 Tödtling & Trippl (2005) Attempts to show that there is no “ideal model” for innovation policy. Demonstrate empirically that preconditions for innovation, innovation activities and processes, as well networks differ strongly between central, peripheral and old industrial regions. Asheim & Coenen (2005) The main argument that this paper puts forward is that there are different logics behind constructing regional innovation systems contingent on the knowledge base of the industry it addresses as well as on the regional knowledge infrastructure which is accessible. Asheim & Isaksen (1997) Discuss how to design a regional innovation policy for three main area types. Note: The 10 most cited articles on regional innovation systems (based on Scopus)

  7. Literature review and inventories • Challenges in rural business and innovation comes from: • Difficulties to portray development areas • Difficulties to communicate development areas • Difficulties to access support and resources • Boils down to that it is difficult to navigate the business strategically

  8. A proposed model

  9. Compass areas • Product • Process • Administration • Marketing • Creative work environment • Strategy

  10. Compass areas Product • The compass area is about: • Widely application of new product or new technology • Widely commercialization of new product or new technology • Famous in product innovation • Product always lead the industry • Awards for product innovation • New idea for product • Diversification of product

  11. Product Compass

  12. Product Navigation

  13. Compass areas Process • The compass area is about: • New technology for improve process • New method for improve process • Adjust production in a short time • Fast adjust to customer demand • Slack resources • New technology knowledge

  14. Process Compass

  15. Process Navigation

  16. Compass areas Administration • The compass area is about: • Empowerment • Participative working environment • Administrative support

  17. Administration Compass

  18. Administration Navigation

  19. Compass areasMarketing • The compass area is about: • External relationships • Innovative advertisment • Recieved promotion activities • Marketing activity lead industry development • Marketing activities • Awards for advertisment

  20. Marketing Compass

  21. Marketing Navigation

  22. Compass areas Creative work environment • The compass area is about: • Creative culture • Encourage new problem-solving • Support of creativity • Incentives for creativity

  23. Creativity Compass

  24. Creativity Navigation

  25. Main results • Potential tools to map out and communicate development needs with business managers, their stakeholders and support organizations • Aggregated findings show great similarities between the regions, i.e. positive development trends where firms mainly rely on their closest business partners (value chain) for support

  26. Revised tools: Compass
