In 2001 Sweden founded the government agency of VINNOVA, named after the OECD-endorsed innovation system concept. Criticising the common assumption that countries are passive and uncritical recipients of the approaches promoted by the OECD, this dissertation tries to show that Swedish actors were in fact very active and strategic as they contributed to the national adoption of the concept. With inspiration from conceptual history and Quentin Skinner’s analysis of the rhetorical use of concepts, this study focuses on the research funding reform process between 1995 and 2001, investigating how actors trying to defend the contested institution of sectoral research used the innovation system concept to rhetorically legitimise their project. To compare these uses with earlier ways of discussing innovation in Sweden, the innovation debate that arose in relation to the industrial crises of the 1970s and 1990s has also been studied. It was found that the early Swedish innovation debate had paid little attention to the university sector. When Research 2000 in 1998 proposed that researcher-dominated research councils should be given control over sectoral research funding, a coalition in favour of industrially relevant research mobilised to protect its influence over research funding. The concept was now appropriated and used to rhetorically reframe the universities as part of a system with the main function of promoting innovations. By using the concept it was also possible to draw on the legitimacy offered by the OECD and science.

Beginning with the case study of the Valley of Electronics, technological pole located in Santa Rita do Sapucaí, a small town in Minas Gerais - Brazil, it was possible to conclude that, even with little commercial trade among the actors of the local productive arrangement, there is information exchange between educational institutions and businesses and there are subjective aspects that justify the continued development and maintenance of the pole for almost four decades. / A pesquisa enfoca o desenvolvimento e a sustentação de aglomerações de empresas em um arranjo produtivo local, através da análise da relevância da inovação, do sistema de inovação que as empresas formam, junto às instituições de ensino e de apoio institucional, analisa as interações comerciais entre as empresas e as interações delas para com as instituições de ensino e apoio, sob o ponto de vista do emprego da mão de obra especializada, das relações entre os componentes do sistema para o treinamento, a aquisição de conhecimento e para a pesquisa e desenvolvimento. A partir do estudo do caso do Vale da Eletrônica, polo tecnológico do município de Santa Rita do Sapucaí, no interior de Minas Gerais Brasil, é possível depreender que, mesmo não havendo intercâmbio comercial entre os atores do arranjo produtivo local, há troca de informações entre as instituições de ensino e as empresas e há aspectos subjetivos, que justificam o contínuo desenvolvimento e sustentação do polo, por quase quatro décadas.

The analyses circumscribe a moment that marks the trajectory of the Brazilian and Northeast economy due to the stability level of prices, started with the Real Plan implementation in 1994. This period is characterized by a series of new both and politics elaborated and implementing Northeast region. The analysis was made based on the neo-schumpeterian approach of system of innovation as well as the Latin American Structural Approach (LASA). This study argues that the neo-schumpeterian approach is as important as the LASA in order to better understand the peripheral economies. The main argument is related to the technical progress as a pivot element to the economic and social promotion and transformation, emphasizing the intangibles factors responsible for its generation and endogenous diffusion, as such: innovative learning and knowledge locally contextualized. Both bibliographical and documentary surveys were carried, mainly being analyzed the following plans and programs: National Policy for Regional Development (PNDR) and Strategic Plan for Sustainable Development of the Northeast (PDNE). In addition, it was also carried a field research where a semi-structured questionnaire was applied to 14 social actors, such as regional scholars and policy-makers. Based on the research of documents, plans, programs and projects, the following results are summarized: concentrated investments in tangibles factors; absence of scientific and technological strategies throughout the period, and disjointed actions in other areas whenever present; enterprises were concentrated in the States of Pernambuco, Bahia and Ceará; inappropriate diagnostic for understanding the systemic reality, not taking into consideration specific features of the Region, such as political and institutional characteristics. Moreover, it was not incorporated Innovation System indicators in the analysis, such as: innovative learning and knowledge, cooperation, interaction, among others. The data analyzed indicate two important issues: i) around 90% of the employees earn no more than two (2) minimal wages; and ii) it was identified a spurious competitive pattern in the Northeast of Brazil, based on low-technology products which require low standard skill qualification, low salaries, as well as fiscal and financial incentives. Therefore, the results outlined above show a lack of Regional political strategy in order to foster structural economical and social change in the Brazilian Northeast. / O objetivo deste estudo consiste em identificar e analisar criticamente, do ponto de vista teórico-metodológico, as ações e planos de desenvolvimento formulados e implementados para o Nordeste do Brasil, no período de 1994 a 2009. A análise circunscreve-se a um momento que marca a trajetória da economia brasileira e do Nordeste, qual seja, a partir da superação da instabilidade do nível de preços, iniciada com a implantação do Plano Real em 1994. Esse período é caracterizado por uma série de novas iniciativas e Políticas elaboradas e em implantação na Região. Para isso, foi feito uso do referencial teórico neo-schumpeteriano de Sistema de Inovação e da teoria estruturalista da CEPAL. As idéias em torno do pensamento neo-schumpeteriano têm uma forte aproximação com as idéias desenvolvidas pelo pensamento cepalino para se estudar as economias periféricas, principalmente quando se trata do progresso técnico como central para se promover a transformação econômica e social, sendo que aquele apresenta avanços ao procurar destacar os fatores intangíveis e que são responsáveis pela geração e difusão endógena desse progresso técnico: aprendizado inovativo e o conhecimento, localmente contextualizados. Além da pesquisa bibliográfica, realizou-se uma pesquisa documental, sendo analisados principalmente, os seguintes planos e programas: o Avança Brasil, o Brasil em Ação, a Política Nacional de Desenvolvimento Regional (PNDR), e o Plano Estratégico de Desenvolvimento Sustentável do Nordeste (PDNE). Utilizou-se também de uma pesquisa de campo com questionário semi-estruturado, entrevistando-se 14 atores sociais, entre esses, estudiosos e fazedores de políticas da Região. A partir da pesquisa documental, dos planos, programas e projetos, e da pesquisa de campo têm-se os seguintes resultados: investimentos concentrados em fatores tangíveis; ao longo do período, a ausência de estratégia para o campo científico, tecnológico e, quando presente, desarticulada de ações em outras áreas; uma distribuição espacial dos empreendimentos concentrando-se nos estados de Pernambuco, Bahia e Ceará; um diagnóstico insuficiente para se compreender a realidade sistêmica, não levando em consideração a realidade política e institucional da Região e a não incorporação da análise dos indicadores do Sistema de Inovação, quais sejam: aprendizado inovativo, conhecimento, cooperação, interação, e outros. Os dados analisados mostram uma massa salarial com quase 90% dos trabalhadores recebendo até 2 (dois) salários mínimos, além de um padrão de competitividade espúria do Nordeste, baseada em produtos de baixo conteúdo tecnológico, cuja produção requer baixa capacitação da mão-de-obra, baixos salários e incentivos fiscais e financeiros. Dos resultados acima destacados, pode-se concluir que falta uma estratégia de Política Regional que promova a transformação da estrutura econômica e social do Nordeste.

Todavia, o alcance do êxito neste contexto está associado não só à competência dos pesquisadores envolvidos e aos altos investimentos realizados, como também à resolução de possíveis entraves regulatórios e à supressão de barreiras técnicas inerentes a este processo. O presente estudo se propõe a analisar, destacando os pontos críticos, o impacto regulatório no desenvolvimento de novos produtos. O estudo está suportado pelo método de triangulação entre a fundamentação teórica, baseada na revisão da literatura técnico-científica, a análise da percepção e das evidências da amostra respondente do setor regulado, e a análise da percepção e das evidências da amostra respondente dos órgãos reguladores. Embora nesta investigação tenha se verificado a existência de entraves regulatórios, como a lentidão nas aprovações dos órgãos reguladores e a legislação frágil, também foram observados aspectos positivos no que concerne a mão de obra qualificada dos profissionais entrevistados desse setor e o investimento em inovação do setor regulado / In the dynamic and complex environment of the pharmaceutical industry, characterized by a huge competition and relevant profit margins, the launch of effective, safe and innovative drugs becomes one of the most important indicators of the success of the companies in the pharmaceutical sector. However, the achievement of success in this context is related not only with the high investments and researchers’ qualifications, but also to settle the possible regulatory issues and technical barriers inherent to this process. This study aims to analyze and demonstrate the critical points, key issues on the development of new pharmaceutical products in Brazil and how it affects society and companies in the pharmaceutical sector. This study is supported by triangulation method between the scientific and technical literature review, the perception analysis of the regulated segment investigated and the perception analysis of the regulatory agencies investigated. This work seeks to contribute to appoint the existence of adversities and challenges of this process and also to suggest possible solutions to improve the performance of pharmaceutical companies in Brazil. Although this study had verified the existence of regulatory barriers, such as regulatory approvals delays and fragile legislation, it had also identified positive aspects of this segment regarding high qualification of the professionals interviewed and investment in innovation by regulated companies

Idélab är en statligt finansierad och icke-kommersiell inkubator inom Mälardalens högskola. Deras huvudsakliga uppdrag är att ge utvecklande stöd till idéägare och entreprenörer som har en direkt koppling till högskolan. Majoriteten är studenter som sällan har erfarenhet kring produkt- och affärsutveckling. Behov, ambition och kunskap hos studenterna skiljer sig när de kommer till inkubatorn. Idélab utmanas i att anpassa sina processer till att tillfredsställa alla, och att göra det med skäliga resurser. Istället för att ta reda på ifall Idélab kan öka antalet framgångsrika tillväxtbolag, ger uppsatsen en uppfattning om att verksamhetsstrategin bör vidareutvecklas. Verksamheten behöver mer djupgående kartlägga och kategorisera sina användare utifrån deras behov och inriktning. Därmed är rekommendationen att omformulera vision och interna samt externa mål. Detta skulle kunna förtydliga deras egen definition av vad framgång och hållbar tillväxt betyder för just deras användare och dom själva. / Idélab is a government financed and non-commercial incubator within Mälardalen University. Their main objective is to give developing support to idea holders and entrepreneurs who have a direct connection to the university. The majority are students that rarely have experience regarding product- and business development. The students need, ambition and knowledge differs when they enter the incubator. Idélab is challenged with adapting their processes to satisfy everyone, and to do so with reasonable resources. Instead of finding out whether or not Idélab can increase the number of successful and growing companies, the dissertation gives the notion that an operational strategy rather be further developed. The organization needs to map out and categorize their users with focus on need and direction. Therefore the recommendation is to redefine the vision and internal as well as external goals. This could help to clarify their own definition of what success and sustainable growth means to their users and themselves.

This thesis deals with the Kosovar agricultural economy and the introduction of new approaches. Kosova is an economy in transition with high unemployment, young population and structural problems. The privatization process promises a better future and economic growth. However, hard work and new approaches are needed. Privatization does not mean immediate growth. Hereby, clusters are considered as an appropriate approach to develop rural areas. Especially the wine sector in Kosova could be an example for cluster development as it is a promising sector. Wine has a long history in Kosova although wine consumption is not widespread. This sector is a rare example where exports are higher than imports. Climate conditions cheep working force and as stated the background make this sector attractive. Foreign agencies and investors are very interested in this sector. This thesis will show the main problems and main opportunities of this sector. It will describe the structural changes and current developments. Cluster creation is not a government function. Further, it is not a tailor-made solution. In fact, clustering involves many roles. Each participant has certain duties but the whole process needs coordination. The monitoring and supervision of the whole process, the identification of needs and permanent exchange of the participants are organized in a cluster. At the end, a win-win situation is created even if competition is raised to a high level. Competition and the functioning of free markets guarantee the success of the sector and as a results regional development. One cluster helps to create another. Starting one process means that many others could follow. By reading this thesis, the reader should recognize potentials and understand the local circumstances. This is the aim of the study. / Faton Deva "Shkodra" 14, Prishtina 10000 Kosova mob: +377(0)44122883 e-mail:faton99d@gmail.com

[pt] A difusão de sistemas locais de inovação pode ser entendida como uma das expressões de uma nova forma de cooperação que se manifesta no contexto amplo das mudanças estruturais enfrentadas pela sociedade, com impacto nas organizações produtivas. O objetivo deste trabalho é entender a dinâmica de um Sistema Local de Inovação - SLI, em particular, dos de base universitária, identificando seus principais atores (stakeholders) e as políticas mais eficazes para garantir seu funcionamento por parte do governo, universidades e setor privado. Faz-se um estudo sobre a dinâmica da inovação tecnológica e sobre as mudanças no ambiente das organizações, sendo também analisada a proposta da PUC-Rio em estabelecer um SLI de base universitária no bairro da Gávea, avaliando-se seus possíveis impactos na economia da região e sua capacidade para promover a transferência de resultados da pesquisa científica para a sociedade. Tal esforço enfrenta o desafio de planejar uma estrutura de governança que contenda com as várias questões envolvidas no gerenciamento de complexos sistemas sociotécnicos. Esse sistema é entendido como uma ecologia organizacional, sendo portanto utilizado o instrumental teórico fornecido pela abordagem socioecológica com o intuito de visualizar o complexo ambiente como um sistema aberto, mais dinâmico e apropriado para as características dos sistemas locais de inovação. O trabalho não se constitui em um estudo de caso, mas em uma tentativa de auxiliar a Universidade no esforço de planejamento de um SLI de Base Universitária. / [en] The diffusion of Local Innovation Systems - LIS can be understood as one of the expressions of a new form of cooperation manifested in the context of the organizational changes faced by modern societies. In this regard, the diffusion of this one particular organizational form - that brings together the advantages of clustering and networking - can be understood in light of the perceived benefits from heightened cooperation to innovative activities. The objective of this dissertation is to understand the properties and dynamics of a LIS and, in particular, of University-based LIS, to shed more light into the elements of its structure and governance that promote cooperation among the many players involved. The dynamics of technological innovation, as well as the environmental changes faced by productive firms are also studied. One particular contextual interest presented in this dissertation is the ongoing effort of PUC-Rio to establish an University-based LIS in order to increase its capacity to transfer results of its academic research to society. Such effort faces the challenge of planning a governance structure that contends with the many issues involved in managing such complex social-technical system, a rather new subject of academic research. To assist in meeting this challenge, the PUC-Rio LIS will be understood as an organizational ecology. Hence, the theoretical framework provided by the socioecological approach will be used in understanding the environment as an open system, which is more dynamic and appropriate for the characteristics of LIS. Therefore, rather than a case study on innovation systems, this dissertation is an attempt to contribute to the Universitys effort of planning its LIS.

Le Centre Technique des Industries Mécaniques constitue l’un des centres de compétences technologiques des Industries Mécaniques. Sa problématique est de déterminer le processus de management de la technologie nécessaire à sa mission d’appui à l’innovation.Après avoir caractérisé la mécanique dans une approche méso-économique, nous proposons un modèle d'activités du Centre de Compétences Technologiques, illustré par le modèle du Cetim. Sur cette base, le management de l'innovation est analysé comme la formalisation opérationnelle de la mission d’appui à l’innovation technologique du territoire technologique et géographique du Centre de Compétences Technologiques, à partir de l'outillage et des processus du management de la technologie.Le processus conduisant de l’idée au produit est décrit par 3 étapes : la formalisation de l’idée à l’objet, la faisabilité de l’idée vis-à-vis d’une première cible de marché et l’industrialisation. Ce modèle séquentiel a été complété par une modélisation globale reliant la stratégie avec la mise en oeuvre des projets d’innovation qui la concrétisent.Le processus de R&D comporte 4 étapes d’un cycle itératif : marketing technologique, gestion du portefeuille technologique, production de R&D et valorisation. Des indicateurs permettent d’évaluer les performances sur les 4 axes du modèle d’activités en s’appuyant sur la codification des projets d’innovation. Cette dernière peut être aussi utilisée pour suivre les évolutions du coeur de compétence. / The Technical Centre of Mechanical Engineering is one of the centres of technological competence in the Mechanical Industry. Its objective is to identify the process of management of the technology needed for its activity in innovation support.After having characterised mechanical industry in a meso economic approach, we propose a model of activity of the technological competence centre, illustrated by the Cetim example. On this basis, innovation management is analysed as a formalised operational process of the innovation support activity in the geographical and technological territory of the technological competence centre, using tools and processes of technology management.The process from idea to finished product is split into 3 steps: idea to object conception, feasibility regarding a first market target and industrialisation. This sequential model was completed by a global model which linked strategy to the implementation of an innovated project.R&D process is composed of 4 steps of a repeated cycle: technological marketing, management of the project portfolio, R&D production and enhanced value. Indicators help in evaluating performance on the 4 axes of the activity model using codification of innovation projects in the information system. This can be also used to follow core competence evolution.

[ES] El presente estudio pretende establecer la importancia de la colaboración como un elemento integral para el desarrollo de la Red Chilena de Fab Labs y su vinculación con el ecosistema de innovación local. Esta noción se apoya en un marco teórico que valida la colaboración como un elemento clave al interior de la innovación abierta y su implementación en los espacios de innovación, en este caso específico, los Fab Labs. Junto con ello, surge el concepto de Cosmo-localismo, como un modelo integrador de la colaboración y la innovación, que busca el bienestar de los territorios y sus comunidades. Este se fundamenta en la cultura maker, la cual vincula el diseño abierto con las tecnologías de fabricación digital, para la generación de un nuevo conocimiento, siendo estos distribuidos globalmente. Es aquí donde los Fab Labs juegan un rol fundamental como espacios de articulación, buscando empoderar a sus comunidades mediante el acceso a herramientas, para generar un impacto positivo en lo social, económico y medioambiental. A partir de la importancia de vincular el entorno dentro de la innovación, surge la Quíntuple hélice como un elemento integrador en el proceso de innovación actual, reforzando la importancia del concepto de desarrollo sostenible. Bajo una investigación de enfoque mixto, se analizan los Fab Labs en Chile, caracterizándolos según su ubicación, modelo de trabajo, temáticas y disciplinas. A modo de identificar la vinculación de estos laboratorios con el ecosistema de innovación, se analiza el contexto chileno según el Modelo TE-SER, el cual establece sus características basadas en los roles de cada actor. De la misma forma, se establece para la Red Chilena de Fab Labs y los laboratorios que la componen. Como resultado de esta investigación se propone el diseño de un modelo de colaboración para el desarrollo de la Red Chilena de Fab Labs que promueva su vinculación con el ecosistema de innovación local para alcanzar el desarrollo sostenible de sus territorios, apoyándose en los principios del diseño abierto y la cultura maker. Los hallazgos identificados se basan en la importancia del ODS 17, "Alianza para cumplir todos los objetivos", al interior de la comunidad Fab Lab. Y también en el perfilamiento de los Fab Labs chilenos, el cual puede delinear los roles y actividades de los laboratorios al interior de la red y del ecosistema de innovación local. Además, a partir del modelo propuesto, se identifican actores claves para articular instancias de colaboración de forma eficiente, lo que desarrolla una estrategia de implementación basada en el Cosmo-localismo, promoviendo la Quíntuple hélice. / [CA] Aquest estudi pretén establir la importància de la col·laboració com un element integral per al desenvolupament de la Xarxa Xilena de Fab Labs i la vinculació amb l'ecosistema d'innovació local.

This notion is supported by a theoretical framework that validates collaboration as a key element within open innovation and its implementation in innovation spaces, in this specific case, the Fab Labs. Along with this, the concept of Cosmo- localism, as an integrating model of collaboration and innovation, which seeks the well-being of the territories and their communities. This is based on the maker culture, which links open design with digital manufacturing technologies, for the generation of new knowledge, which is distributed globally. This is where the Fab Labs play a fundamental role as spaces for articulation, seeking to empower their communities through access to tools, to generate a positive social, economic and environmental impact. Based on the importance of linking the environment within innovation, the Quintuple Helix emerges as an integrating element in the current innovation process, reinforcing the importance of the concept of sustainable development. Under a mixed approach research, the Fab Labs in Chile are analyzed, characterizing them according to their location, work model, themes and disciplines. In order to identify the link between these laboratories and the innovation ecosystem, the Chilean context is analyzed according to the TE-SER Model, which establishes its characteristics based on the roles of each actor. In the same way, it is established for the Chilean Network of Fab Labs and the laboratories that comprise it. As a result of this research, the design of a collaborative model is proposed for the development of the Chilean Network of Fab Labs that promotes its link with the local innovation ecosystem to achieve the sustainable development of its territories, based on the principles of open design. and the maker culture. The identified findings are based on the importance of SDG 17, "Alliance to meet all objectives", within the Fab Lab community. And also, on the profiling of Chilean Fab Labs, which can outline the roles and activities of the Fab Labs. laboratories within the network and the local innovation ecosystem. In addition, based on the proposed model, key actors are identified to efficiently articulate instances of collaboration, which develops an implementation strategy based on Cosmo-localism, promoting the Fivefold Helix. / Valenzuela Zubiaur, MDP.

Die kontrollierte Landwirtschaft (controlled-environment agriculture, kurz CEA) wird als potenzieller Beitrag zu einem Wandel hin zu widerstandsfähigen, ressourceneffizienten und lokalisierten Lebensmittelsystemen diskutiert. Obwohl CEA oft als inhärent ressourceneffizient, widerstandsfähig und lokalisiert dargestellt werden, bleibt der soziale und wirtschaftliche Kontext bei einer kritischen Analyse und Reflektion häufig unberücksichtigt. Ohne die Berücksichtigung des Kontextes bleiben die Richtung des Innovationsprozesses und die Vielfalt der möglichen Innovationen im Bereich von CEA unklar. Das Ziel dieser Dissertation ist es, ein umfassenderes Verständnis des Innovationsprozesses von CEA aus der Perspektive der Innovationssystemanalyse zu entwickeln, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf den zugrundeliegenden Dynamiken und Rahmenbedingungen liegt, die die Etablierung von CEA in städtischen Gebieten erleichtern oder behindern. Dabei dient die CUBES Circle Innovation als Ankerbeispiel. Insgesamt zeigt diese Dissertation, dass die Umsetzung und Anpassung von CEA in städtischen Gebieten stabile politische, soziale, infrastrukturelle und wirtschaftliche Rahmenbedingungen voraussetzt. Die Umsetzung von CEA erfordert daher vorzugsweise Standorte mit hinlänglichen finanziellen Ressourcen, an denen die traditionelle Landwirtschaft aufgrund der natürlichen Gegebenheiten nicht möglich ist und an denen die Verringerung der Importabhängigkeit als vorrangiges Ziel gilt und politisch gefördert wird. Die Einführung von CEA an Standorten mit anderen Merkmalen kann jedoch erleichtert werden, wenn geeignete und vorteilhafte Strukturen für CEA geschaffen werden. Dazu gehört die Entwicklung eines kohärenten Rechtsrahmens als grundlegende Voraussetzung für die institutionelle Legitimität von CEA. Um dies zu erreichen, ist es notwendig, klare politische Ziele festzulegen und CEA in lokale Strategien zu integrieren. / Controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) is broadly discussed as a key contributor to a transformation towards resilient, resource-efficient, and localised food systems. This dissertation seeks to develop an understanding of the development and diffusion of CEA innovations in urban settings through the lens of innovation system analysis, taking the CUBES Circle innovation as an anchorage example. CEA are often portrayed as inherently resource-efficient, resilient and localised without critical analysis and reflection of the social and economic context. However, without a recognisable context, the direction of the innovation process remains unclear, as CEA encompasses a range of different possible innovations. The objective of this dissertation is to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the innovation process of CEA in urban locations, focusing on the underlying dynamics and framework conditions that facilitate or impede CEA establishment in urban areas. This dissertation demonstrates that the implementation of CEA in urban areas requires stable political, social, infrastructural and economic conditions. The implementation of CEA is therefore most likely in locations with sufficient financial resources, where traditional agriculture is not viable due to the natural conditions and where the reduction of import dependency is considered a priority and is politically promoted. Nevertheless, in order to facilitate the implementation of CEA in locations with other characteristics, requires the establishment of appropriate and advantageous framework conditions for CEA. The implementation of a coherent legal framework that consider CEA and their environmental, economic, social, and political benefits is a prerequisite for creating institutional legitimacy for CEA as innovative food production systems. To achieve this, it is necessary to establish clear political goals and integrate CEA into local strategies.
