“…In the 1960s, Japan used to use public purchasing as a direct developmental policy tool (Rothwell and Zegveld, 1981). In Sweden, a "developmental pair" approach evolved between the state and technology companies based on technology-intensive public-procurement programs (Fridlund, 2000). Compared with earlier programs, what seems to differ now is that recent policy initiatives have broader innovation impacts as a primary goal of public procurement.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss how a seller can use interactions to respond to public procurement needs for innovation when the buying side is restricted by public procurement regulations. Design/methodology/approach The authors collected data using qualitative semi-structured interviews of different empirical examples, in which private–public interactions of four different high-technological products are studied. Two products belong to the defence industry and two to the civil industry. Findings The findings point to three types of innovations in public procurement: product, service and business model. The empirical examples further indicate, as suggested in previous studies, that innovation is hindered by regulations that limit interaction between suppliers and the public. In addition, the empirical examples indicate that firms mobilize actors in their network when the buyer is restricted in regard to interaction. The findings also add to the IMP literature by comparing interactions in the three types of innovations in the public procurement context. Originality/value Public procurement is an area where innovations are lagging behind, compared with private procurement. Research points to limited interaction between actors as an obstacle to innovation in public sector collaborations. This paper extends the literature on how organizations interact in the setting of public procurement. The authors identify demand and supply triggers for three types of innovations: product, service and business model innovation.

“…This has orchestrated the main features of the innovation and research policy system and its growth model for industrial development and prosperity (Freeman, 1987, Lundvall, 1992. The concept of "development pairs" (Fridlund, 1999) describes the long-term development cooperation and close partner relationship formed between specific state client and private firms in order to exploit and develop new technology. Such relationships often played the role of driving force and a catalyst for growth of industrial development blocks (Dahmén, 1987), which later matured into defined innovation system or what Carlsson & Stankiewicz (1995) called "technology systems".…”

“…Such relationships often played the role of driving force and a catalyst for growth of industrial development blocks (Dahmén, 1987), which later matured into defined innovation system or what Carlsson & Stankiewicz (1995) called "technology systems". The evolution of the Swedish innovation system offers a number of examples of niche management, e.g the state power authority which historically enjoyed great freedom from political interventions and the Swedish telecom industry, and different key companies or group of key firms (Fridlund, 1999, Laestadius & Berggren, 2000. However, the application of development pairs has exposed some negative structural features of the concept.…”

Government Procurement Policy in Developing Countries: The Case of Petrobras

The aim of this article is to discuss whether public procurement policy can promote innovation by firms located in developing countries. The literature on technological learning is used to create a typology for assessing the impact of public procurement in developing countries from the standpoint of innovation. Petrobras, a Brazilian state-owned enterprise, was chosen as a case study. Petrobras is a global leader in the field of deepwater oil production technology and so offers an interesting opportunity to investigate whether government procurement in developing countries is used to promote the capability of domestic firms to develop innovations. The article presents the findings of a field survey on P-51, a platform that was ordered by the Brazilian state-owned enterprise and began producing in 2009. The case study is based on information collected from interviews with managers of Petrobras, EPC contractors and some of the firms subcontracted to work on P-51.
