This paper contrasts two modes of innovation. One, the Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) mode, is based on the production and use of codified scientific and technical knowledge. The other, the Doing, Using and Interacting (DUI) mode, relies on informal processes of learning and experience-based know-how. Drawing on the results of the 2001 Danish DISKO Survey, latent class analysis is used to identify groups of firms that practice the two modes with different intensities. Logit regression analysis is used to show that firms combining the two modes are more likely to innovate new products or services than those relying primarily on one mode or the other. The paper concludes by considering the implications for benchmarking innovation systems and for innovation policy.  相似文献   

Critically Reflective Work Behaviour Within Autonomous Professionals�� Learning Communities

Informal learning communities in which participants show critically reflective work behaviour (CRWB) have the potential to support lifelong learning. In practice this behaviour does not always occur in groups of autonomous professionals. This study explores design principles (DPs) that could act as social affordances for CRWB, within the context of healthcare professionals. From the literature, 28 DPs were deduced. In an online Delphi study, 12 experts gave their opinions about these. To explore strategies for implementation of these DPs, a face-to-face expert discussion meeting was organized. The Delphi study resulted in a subset of 13 DPs considered to be relevant for CRWB. Some of the design principles were confirmed or reformulated, others were considered to be unimportant. Exploration of strategies for implementation confirmed the importance of having moderators from within the group. The results of this study, combining issues of design and implementation, could contribute to the discussion about the support and set-up of learning communities for autonomous professionals. A framework for behavioural change is considered that could help to understand why these DPs should influence participants’ interaction.  相似文献   

Political activity in escalation of commitment: Sport facility funding and government decision making in the United States     

Michael Hutchinson  Brennan K. Berg  Timothy B. Kellison 《Sport Management Review》2018,21(3):263-278

In the United States, the decision to commit extensive public resources to sport facilities is a contentious topic of debate. Elected officials often commit substantial public resources to sport facility projects amidst contrary empirical evidence and mixed residential approval. This behavior not only implicates the presence of political activity to advance a course of action, but also suggests an escalation of commitment (EoC), the subject of this study. The authors implemented a collective case study approach to examine three municipalities with long-standing histories of subsidizing professional sport facilities. Data collected from influential elected officials and public leaders (N = 13) as well as documents and records revealed (a) political action to be essential in EoC with decisions involving multiple stakeholder groups; (b) the influence and interaction of political action within each EoC determinant; (c) the substantial role of support, resources, power, and influence in efforts to increase and prevent commitment to a failing course of action; and (d) noticeable spillover effects from use of political activity in EoC.  相似文献
