“…Yet, since Smart Specialisation refers to "policy running ahead of theory" (Foray et al, 2011, p. 1), academic approaches towards the conceptualisation have been so far highly marginalised, thus leading to missing manifestation of the concepts in the theoretical realm. Indeed, paramount scientific contributions on Smart Specialisation and RIS3 deliver rather policy-driven contributions that lack the dovetailing of the research with the existing and developing theories (Boschma, 2014;Fellnhofer, 2017). Paradoxically, as further development of RIS3 is subject to review for future improvements, current discourses shall highly demand strong proved theoretical foundations and not only focus on practice-driven approaches.…”

“…Through the development of smart specialisation (Fellnhofer, 2017), as well as the advance in information and communication technologies (ICT) in modern societies (Van Yperen et al, 2014), blended work, "as a contemporary form of perceived job autonomy" [Van Yperen et al, (2016), p.179], offers workers the freedom to determine their working hours (traditional office hours, in the evening, or on week-ends) and their working locations (at the office, at home, in restaurant...etc.) (Van Yperen et al, 2016).…”
