“…In these studies, the institutional inertia, or "stickiness", that arises from legacy effects is usually seen as a bad thing to be overcome, although it is allowed that legacy can have positive effects in that it provides something for new efforts to learn from and build on (Schienstock 2007). …”

ABSTRACT. There are many recommendations for environmental management practices to adopt more holistic or systems-based approaches and to strengthen stakeholder participation. However, management practices do not always match or achieve these ideals. We explore why theory may not be reflected by practice by exploring experiences of projects seeking to implement the ecosystem approach, a concept that entails participatory holistic management. A qualitative inductive approach was used to understand the processes, achievements, and challenges faced by 16 projects across the British Isles. Many projects made significant progress toward their goals, yet failed to achieve fully participatory holistic management. Many of the challenges that contributed to this failure can be explained in terms of the legacy effects of previous projects and the wider social-ecological system. These legacy effects do not necessarily imply a fixed path dependency or lock-in. We therefore call these effects sticking points. Drawing on the literature on institutional analysis and knowledge production, we distinguish three main types of sticking point: (1) institutional, arising from previous ways of working; (2) cognitive, arising from ways of framing and knowing; and (3) political, arising from pre-existing power relations. These sticking points may interact. For example, attempts to promote systems thinking and management may be impeded by a tendency for reductionist thinking, itself reinforced by the constraints on prioritization that arise from pre-existing statutory targets. These influences often arise from aspects of societal and institutional context beyond the control of any individual project. Stickiness is not necessarily all bad, but often acts to constrain the "opening up" away from previous approaches. Because the longterm success of natural resource management is argued to depend on more integrated, participatory, and holistic environmental management, we argue that these sticking points demand more explicit attention in both research and practice.

“…Na primeira metade da década, a Finlândia retomou rapidamente o caminho para o desenvolvimento, reduzindo a dívida pública, assegurando a credibilidade fiscal, retomando as exportações e reestruturando o sistema bancário sem gerar desequilíbrios no setor público devido ao aumento dos tributos e aos cortes de gastos governamentais (JONUNG; KIANDER; VARTIA, 2008, p. 31;KIANDER;VARTIA, 1996, p. 78-79;KIANDER;WIDGRÉN, 1996, p. 3). Essa retomada do crescimento deu-se, em parte, por causa da reestruturação schumpeteriana da economia, característica da flutuação natural dos ciclos produtivos (ANDERSEN et al, 2006;BOSCHMA;SOTARAUTA, 2007;MALIRANTA;ROUVINEN;YLÄ-ANTTILA, 2010;SCHIENSTOCK, 2007;LEMOLA, 2003, p. 14). Ou seja, por causa do aprofundamento do processo de destruição criadora, iniciado em 1980, a realocação de recursos desativados por ocasião da crise permitiu que empresas e setores mais eficientes tomassem a dianteira da economia (HONKAPOHJA et al, 2009, p. 57-62;KIANDER;VARTIA, 2008, p. 33;KAUTTO-KOIVULA et al, 2008, p. 7;KIANDER, 2004, p. 14;SCHIENSTOCK, 2007).…”

Resumo: O presente artigo visa analisar as principais transformações econômicas ocorridas na Finlândia desde a recessão que atingiu o país em 1990, dando especial atenção às políticas econômicas de fomento às inovações tecnológicas, que possibilitaram a superação da crise e a promoção de um crescimento econômico marcado por uma alta competitividade econômica e pela manutenção do bem-estar da população. Para isso, o artigo investiga a formulação de uma estratégia nacional de inovação, direcionada à mobilização de diversos atores econômicos na construção de um sistema nacional de inovação finlandês dinâmico e capaz de alavancar o desenvolvimento de uma economia do conhecimento finlandesa. Palavras-chave: Inovações tecnológicas. Crescimento econômico. Pesquisa e desenvolvimento.Abstract: This paper aims at analyzing key economic transformations of Finland since an economic recession hit the country in 1990, focusing on the main economic policies used to foster technological innovations and that allowed a recovery from the crisis, as well as promoted a highly competitive and welfare related economic growth. The paper also analyses the formulation of a national innovation strategy designed to mobilize several economic actors in the making of a dynamic Finnish National Innovation System that is able to leverage the development of a Finnish Knowledge Economy.

“…However, the existing research on the market timing of RIPs and the identification of their influencing factors under this timing context has paid more attention to policy system, organizational management and external investment [7][8][9][10][11], among others, at the institutional economic level rather than on the technological factors, such as technological returns and initial proportion of technology. In addition, by being limited to certain static methods (e.g., case analysis, Bayesian decision-making method, Malmquist productivity index, data envelope analysis (DEA), etc.…”

An analysis of the evolution law of radical innovation process (RIP) and an identification of the RIP's influencing factors, particularly to solve the low success rates of the radical innovation of high-tech enterprises, is the focus of this study. The dynamic evolution of RIP can be explained from the perspective of market timing of innovation processes. Moreover, the key influencing factors and the impact mechanism of the process of evolution need to be identified. The window of opportunity-evolutionary game theory (WoO-EGT) model of RIP, which was built by combining WoO and EGT, was used to analyze the dynamic evolutions of the RIPs of existing and new high-tech enterprises. The three categories of RIP evolution when WoO was opened-only locking technology, only breakthrough technology, and coexistence of locking and breakthrough technologies-were determined and verified. Then, the impact mechanisms of the returns and initial proportion of breakthrough technologies on RIP evolution were dynamically and numerically simulated by Matlab. Results show that WoO is the best time for enterprises to implement RIP, and the three game results of RIP evolution of high-tech enterprises under WoO are only locking technology, only breakthrough technology, and both locking and breakthrough technologies, which occupy certain proportions in the market. Moreover, the returns of breakthrough technology play a decisive role in the evolution results of RIP, and the initial proportion of breakthrough technology affects the evolution speed of RIP. According to the research, the WoO-EGT model built in this study is feasible in dynamically analyzing the RIPs. The WoO-EGT model can help overcome the deficiencies of the static model of RIP and provide new decision-making ideas and methods for analyzing the RIPs of high-tech enterprises, thus contributing to the improvement of the success rates of radical innovation.
