Our study aims to measure the effects of spatial R&D spillovers on firms' patent production at the city level. We use an original method to estimate the spatial dimension of spillovers using count data. The method, based on a generalized cross entropy approach, allows us to test spatial...

In this paper, the author proposes to address the problem of development via the performance of innovation systems. He thus calls for a better understanding of the structures and dynamics of socio-technical regimes in order to improve public policies supporting innovation. These clarifications...

This research is concerned with the diffusion of management accounting innovations viewed as a process of actor-network building and translation. The aim is to better understand the nature of accounting change. Using Actor-Network Theory (ANT), we analyze two innovations that have had different...

We assess the importance of information flows from universities to innovative firms and determine the relative contribution of formal collaboration and pure knowledge spillovers in this process. We find that spillovers provide the most benefit to firms that imitate existing technologies or those...

What role can academics – especially in management research – have in management innovation ? Can they only be ex post critical analysts of the processes of inventing, experimenting, diffusing and implementing management models and techniques, or do they play a more active role ? From the...

Despite literature has widely investigated the logics of ideation, at early stages of innovation and product development processes (Bjork and Magnusson, 2009; Boeddrich, 2004; Girotra et al., 2010), very few contributions deal with the very starting point of the ideation process, i.e. the initial theme...
