Finnish Innovation Landscape Innovations / Regional Value Added 1997-2007
Innovation modes Science-based Science, technology, innovation (STI) Practice-based Doing, using, interacting (DUI) Berg Jensen et al. 2007
Types of knowledge production Mode 1 knowledge production is traditional knowledge production based on single disciplines. It is homogeneous and primarily cognitive (STI). Mode 2 knowledge knowledge production, by contrast, is created in broader, heterogeneous interdisciplinary social and economic contexts within an applied setting (DUI). Gibbons et al. 1994
Differences in science-based and practice-based innovation
Bringing STI- and DUI-modes together Mode 1 knowledgeproduction-> STI-mode of innovation Context of knowledge application (companies and public sector organizations) Policy instruments and tools aiming at promoting knowledge transfer and utilization Mode 2 knowledgeproduction-> DUI-mode of innovation
Final words The concept of innovation policy has to be rethought based on the concept of broad-based innovation
