This book helps readers understand how universities position
themselves in the innovation landscape and the implications for
national policies. It provides a scholarly discussion and best
practice-based insights to help answer questions like: To what
extent do funding and governance policies support activities within
the knowledge triangle? How should policies for universities be
designed in countries with different industrial and higher
education structures? Are there ways to effectively link
universities with regional enterprises and social actors? And
finally, what are the new institutional models and best practices
for overcoming obstacles to interaction, collaboration, and
co-creation?
The book explores different approaches towards the 'entrepreneurial
university' paradigm, explores channels and mechanism used by
universities to implement the paradigm and contributes to the
public discussion on the impact of commercialization on university
research and knowledge. It argues that different types of
university-industry interaction may have repercussions even on
funding of basic research if an appropriate balance is ensured
between the two. University activities - both research and
education in all forms - should provide economic and social
relevance directed towards open science and open innovation. This
book adds value to current knowledge by presenting both a
conceptual framework and case studies which describe different
contexts.
The book gives practical guidance for policy makers, analysts and
researchers on how to make the most of the potential of Foresight
studies. Based on the concept of evidence-based policy-making,
Foresight studies are common practice in many countries and are
commonly understood as a supportive tool in designing
future-oriented strategies. The book outlines approaches and
experiences of integrating such Foresight studies in the making and
implementation of science, technology and innovation (STI) policies
at different national levels. It delivers insights into practical
approaches of developing STI policy measures oriented towards
future societal and technological challenges based on evidence
drawn from comparable policy measures worldwide. Authors from
leading academic institutions, international organizations and
national governments provide a sound theoretical foundation and
framework as well as checklists and guidelines for leveraging the
potential impact of STI policies.

This book sheds light on what has come to be known as corporate
foresight and its influence on innovation management. Throughout
the book, the contributors examine the practice of corporate
foresight and how it may lead to the identification of
opportunities for innovation. They also explore the complex
processes and conditions that may enable (or impede) the potential
of contemporary organizations to capture value from their corporate
foresight exercises. Representing an interesting mix of competing
ideas and perspectives, the book offers deep insights into the
interactive effects of corporate foresight and its contribution to
innovation management. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Technology Analysis & Strategic Management.

This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC
BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read at Oxford
Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and
selected open access locations. Innovation is a pivotal driving
force behind economic growth. Technological capability deepens and
diversifies industrial activity, which fundamentally enhances
growth potential. Consequently, failure to build effective
technological capability can lead to slow long-term economic
growth. This book synthesizes and interprets existing knowledge on
technology upgrading failures in order to better understand the
challenges of technology upgrading in emerging economies. The
objective is to bring together diverse evidence on three major
dimensions of technology upgrading: paths of technology upgrading,
structural changes in the nature of technology upgrading, and the
issues of technology transfer and technology upgrading. Knowledge
on these three dimensions is synthesized at the firm, sector, and
macro levels across different countries and world macroregions.
Compared to the challenges and uncertainties facing emerging
economies, our understanding of technology upgrading is sparse,
unsystematic, and scattered. The recent growth slowdown in many
emerging economies, often known as the middle-income trap, has
reinforced the importance of understanding the technology upgrading
challenges they experience. While our understanding of these issues
from the 1980s and 1990s is relatively more systematised, the more
recent changes that took place during the globalization and
proliferation of global value chains, and the effects of the 2008
financial crisis, have not been explored and compared
synthetically. The current effects of COVID-19, geopolitical
struggles, and the growing concern around environmental
sustainability add significant complexity to an already problematic
situation. The time is ripe to take stock of our existing knowledge
on processes of technology upgrading in emerging economies and make
further inroads in research on this crucial issue.
Roadmapping is a structured visual approach for supporting
strategic technology and innovation management, providing strategic
navigational support (hence the “roadmap” metaphor) for
technologists, designers, entrepreneurs, programme managers,
executives, policy makers, other stakeholders involved in the
formulation and implementation of strategy. This book brings
together the latest developments in roadmapping, covering a range
of practical issues and conceptual aspects. First, the book delves
into the critical topic of strategic alignment within
organizations, encompassing the interdependencies and
synchronization of horizontal and vertical systems, connecting
innovation priorities to strategic objectives, and the integration
of key performance indicators. Then, the book concentrates on
practical techniques and tools for roadmapping, including a
template-based approach for technology venture funding. Social and
digital aspects of roadmapping are explored, including workshop
methods, considering how quantitative (analysis) and qualitative
(expert) knowledge can be combined for improved strategic planning.
Finally, a series of new case studies focusing on energy systems in
Sub-Saharan Africa and Turkey illustrate the practical application
of technology roadmapping and also provide useful insights.
Roadmapping continues to evolve, as it is adapted to apply to new
domains and strategic challenges, propagates to new sectors, and as
new digital technologies such as AI emerge that radically affect
strategy and innovation processes. The need for structured and
engaging approaches such as roadmapping for navigating towards the
future is essential.
