Revealing Hidden Innovation: Patterns of External Innovation Investment in Australian Businesses

Tracking hidden innovations in tourism

“…This study contributes to the literature on hidden innovation in tourism by suggesting a framework illustrating how hidden innovations are triggered and unfold. Our findings confirm the presence of hidden innovations (Abreu et al, 2010; Camisón & Monfort‐Mir, 2012; Djellal & Gallouj, 2010; Hansen & Serin, 1997; Nesta, 2007; O'Brien, 2016) and supplement prior research on hidden innovations in tourism (Camisón & Monfort‐Mir, 2012; Nordli, 2016; Rønningen & Nordli, 2016), by expanding the understanding of hidden innovations in the sector.…”

“…Findings support the arguments of Abreu et al (2010) and Djellal and Gallouj (2015) regarding the occurrence of hidden innovations in services; they also support the findings of Camisón and Monfort‐Mir (2012) and Nordli (2016) regarding hidden innovations in tourism. We find that hidden innovations are rather incremental, not radical and related to technology only to a small degree (Ettlie et al, 1984; Hansen & Serin, 1997; O'Brien, 2016). Technological innovations, such as new ticketing and booking systems, have been captured by the CIS.…”

“…For example, studies have focused on low‐ and high‐technology products and indicated that low‐technology products are partly hidden from political attention in policies. Other studies have focused on outsourced innovation activities, referring to them as hidden innovations, or on policies for enhancing hidden innovations (Abreu et al, 2010; Hansen & Serin, 1997; O'Brien, 2016). This study considers hidden innovation in line with Camisón and Monfort‐Mir (2012), who define it as innovations not captured by measurement used in innovation surveys like CIS.…”

Bridging the Knowledge and Business Ecosystems: Resources and Mechanisms for Regional Entrepreneurial Development

“…Defining and Mapping a "startup ecosystem" A definition of a "startup ecosystem" is still being shaped by the academic literature (Clarysse et al 2014b;Haines 2016;Tripathi et al 2019). There are numerous approaches to defining and mapping startup ecosystems.…”

“…First, a startup ecosystem operates in an environment linked to or located at a specific region (Tripathi et al 2019), which implies a by-default "regional" prefix for a "startup ecosystem" concept. Among the common elements, the ones highlighted by the literature so far include (see Figure 1): -startups and entrepreneurs themselves (Ries 2011); -supporting factors (as incubators, accelerators and designated workspaces, events, governmental and legal framework, media support and mentors) (Haines 2016;Tripathi et al 2019); -finance (corporates, seed funding, venture capital, banks) (Herring 2016); -demography (culture and language, geography, history, gdp, immigration) (Tripathi et al 2019;Wauters 2014); -market (local and global, customers) (Tripathi et al 2019;Wauters 2014 (Tripathi et al 2019: 18) 10.1163/21971927-bja10008 | triple helix journal (2020) 1-39…”
