“…collaborative projects with industry, conferences involving academia and industry). These findings also complement recent discussions that networks create a good framework for fostering creativity and innovations (Alves et al, ; Dingler & Enkel, ). Another determining factor is the support of business plan contests that require cooperation across different bioeconomy‐related disciplines.…”

“…Consequently, the beneficial engagement across disciplines requires trust and effective communication among all the partners involved. However, this also presents barriers rooted in the different backgrounds, languages, ways of communication, interests and experiences that each discipline has (Dingler & Enkel, ). In line with other authors (Bassett‐Jones, ; MacLeod, ), we argue that achieving successful interdisciplinary research will require the removal of the barriers to the flow of information between the disciplines relevant to the bioeconomy.…”

“…Despite the great innovation potential at the intersection of different disciplines, this also entails multiple challenges (Bassett-Jones, 2005;MacLeod, 2016). In this regard, interdisciplinary research can be explained by having the following characteristics (Dingler & Enkel, 2016;MacLeod, 2016). Firstly, there are different knowledge backgrounds across disciplines.…”

“…Finally, academic promotional systems detract value published in interdisciplinary journals. For the above-mentioned reasons, technologies and knowledge originated from collaboration across different disciplines are more difficult to transfer (Dingler & Enkel, 2016;Golembiewski, vom Stein, Sick, & Wiemhöfer, 2015;vom Stein, Sick, & Leker, 2015).…”

Research across different disciplines provides enormous potential for creativity and innovation. To exploit these vast innovation opportunities, technology transfer becomes pivotal. However, yet little is known about technology transfer in interdisciplinary settings. Thus, this paper focuses on the bioeconomy, an emerging area where innovation is triggered by the combination of knowledge rooted in different disciplines. Given the potential of the bioeconomy to address the major challenges of the twenty‐first century, understanding technology transfer in this interdisciplinary research setting is of key importance. In this context, this paper explores the effectiveness of technology transfer in the interdisciplinary research setting of the bioeconomy. Empirical evidence is gathered from eight comprehensive case studies to understand how these interdisciplinary institutions manage technology transfer. We contribute to the existing body of literature by extending Bozeman's “Contingent Effectiveness Model of Technology Transfer”. Specifically, we include the increasing attention being paid to interdisciplinary collaborations. Finally, we derive managerial recommendations to improve the effectiveness of technology transfer in interdisciplinary settings.

Which networking strategy improves ICT startup companies' technical efficiency?

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Information and communications technology (ICT) startups, which are relatively smaller than large companies, need to choose efficiency‐oriented networking strategies to efficiently utilize resources. However, the effects of networking strategies on ICT startups' efficiency have been relatively neglected. This study explores which networking strategies are effective for ICT startups. We compare the efficiencies of ICT startups with different interfirm networking strategies: formal networking, informal networking, and noncooperative networking. Technical efficiencies of each strategic group were measured using stochastic frontier analysis, and efficiencies among groups were compared using meta‐frontier analysis. Our results reveal that the noncooperative group has the highest technology gap ratio, followed by the informal and formal cooperative networking groups. This study presents the optimal networking strategy for ICT startups and highlights that interfirm networking is not essential for enhancing the overall competitiveness to ICT startups.

Small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) in uncertain emerging markets tend to pursue exploitation at the expense of exploration. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether social capital can alleviate this imbalance by supporting the firms' ambidexterity, and thus the performance of such firms. Using survey data from high‐tech SMEs in Turkish technoparks, Phase 1 of the study tests a mainstream serial mediation model, where the social capital–performance relationship is mediated by information sharing and ambidexterity dimensions (exploration and exploitation). The results show that rather than merely forming structural social capital linkages, firms also need to develop relational social capital for higher ambidexterity and performance. Phase 2 of the study elaborates on these findings through interviews with 12 technopark firm managers regarding information sharing, collaborations, and innovative activities. The findings in this phase provide strong evidence that low generalized trust in the Turkish context plays an inhibiting role in the process from social capital to firm performance.
