View in this research • policy studies: e.g. triple helix, mode2 • outside-in view • strategic positioning • inside-out + outside-in views IGS congress 2007
Researcher • goals • strategic position • needed to attain goals • strategic positioning • needed to attain strategic position • strategic choices IGS congress 2007
Strategic position • organisational autonomy (OA) • self-governing in deciding about research goals and directions • strategic interdependence (SI) • sharing of heterogeneously distributed strategic resources • strategic relationship strategic choices • strategic choices result in positions of OA & SI • positions of OA & SI are observable in research contracts IGS congress 2007
Strategic positioning production of knowledge (PK) strategic interdependence (SI) collaboration (C) organisational autonomy (OA) IGS congress 2007
Relations between functions • if SI and C are aligned in parallel way, then researcher produces knowledge (PK) • PK = PK (C + OA + SI ) mode0 • PK = PK (C + OA + SI ) mode1 • PK = PK (C + OA + SI ) mode2 • PK = PK (C + OA + SI ) mode3 IGS congress 2007
