How different forms of policy learning influence each other: case studies from Austrian innovation policy-making

Abstract: This paper investigates the question whether different forms of policy learning influence each other. The focus is on relationships between different forms of policy learning, which are explored on the basis of case study research in the field of research, technology and innovation policy-making in Austria. Methods utilised are expert interviews and document analysis besides literature and media recherché. With the goal to better understand the mechanisms behind learning processes, different forms of knowledge… Show more

“…Challenges to innovate could also start from a country level intervention, as shown by Canadian farmers moving from a protective industry to an open market (Ferguson & Olert, 2015), or among institutions within regional areas (Pasciaroni, 2016). It seems the innovation process would be non-linear (Golestani & Gras, 2014) and the innovation triggers could come from anywhere (Biegelbauer, 2016). There is no definitive pattern to emerging innovations.…”

“…Approaches to learning lessons for use in making strategic decisions are being actively studied in the scope of various research fields such as organizational studies [Argote, 2012], the theory of the firm [Penrose, 1959], evolutionary economics [Nelson, Winter, 1982], and technological capabilities [Salisu, Bakar, 2019]. The concept of PL has expanded from public administration [Sabatier, 1988] to other areas including science, technology, and innovation policy studies [Murrall- Smith, 2011, Biegelbauer, 2016, Sanderson, 2002McCann, Ward, 2012]. Depending on the context, PL can be collective [Hall, 1993] or individual [Heclo, 1974].…”

“…The first one (technical PL) helped to develop and improve policy tools; the second (conceptual) implied adjusting policy goals and objectives, while the third (social) helped to adjust the strategic vector and basic attitudes. Examples of the use of PL in different countries can be found in [Murrall-Smith, 2011;Biegelbauer, 2016]. [Lieu, 2013] mentions technical PL aimed at improving policy tools and programs and conceptual PL carried out to adjust strategic goals and directions.…”

“…In a popular terminology, these are called instrumental, conceptual, and symbolic use (Amara et al., ; Beyer, ; Knorr, ). Weible (; see also Biegelbauer, ), drawing on the research‐utilization literature through the lens of policy process theories, describes the three uses as “learning,” “instrumental,” and “political.” Interestingly, also May (), through a perspective of policy learning, distinguishes “instrumental policy learning,” “social learning,” and “political learning” with quite similar understandings. In another terminology, the distinction is between operational, informational, and political–strategic use (Halligan, ).…”
