“…This suggests that countries or regions that enact innovation policies during the formation of a new technology or innovation earlier than other countries or regions, may be more likely to build a successful system of innovation in a nascent domain [ 27 , 36 ]. While this pattern is important globally, emerging economies are moving faster with the objective becoming technology leaders instead of followers [ 37 ].…”

“…Firms and government institutions are socially constructed bodies that both garner resources and create value to survive and remain relevant. Moreover, explicit in many policy makers’ efforts to implement STI policy is ‘the desire to move from the role of science and technology follower to first-mover’ ([ 37 ], p. 732). The following section explores the application of the first-mover advantage perspective to countries and regions.…”

The timing of science, technology, and innovation (STI) policy initiatives is critical to the outcomes that they produce. This study examines the advantages and disadvantages of enacting STI policy investments early in a nascent domain of activity. Building on work across multiple disciplines, we propose a framework to better understand the temporal dynamics of STI policy. An examination of data on nanotechnology STI policy around the world shows that the timing and funding size is related to entrepreneurship and innovation in different ways. The findings reveal that countries that started funding national STI programs in nanotechnology later had a lower proportion of the total nanotechnology firms, patents, and publications in the world, which suggests some first-mover advantages to STI policy. However, this is only part of the story. Countries that had large programs after the technology had gained legitimacy had the opposite situation such that there was a higher proportion of the total nanotechnology firms, patents, and publication in the world and more nanotechnology-related patents per capita and firms relative to other firms in the country explicating some of the complexity of policy timing. We discuss how temporal considerations influence both the theory and practice of building systems of innovation.

Micro-foundations of environmental entrepreneurship resistance in SMEs

This article characterizes theoretical problems regarding the essence of environmental entrepreneurship resistance. The objective of the current research was to search for micro-foundations of environmental entrepreneurship resistance occurring in SME. We relate the concept of resistance in entrepreneurship with the idea of micro-foundations, thus creating new opportunities for analysis in two areas: conceptual view that interprets the phenomenon of resistance in relation to the organization's activities in the field of entrepreneurship, and cognitive supplementary knowledge of micro-foundations, which affect the entrepreneurial behavior of employees. Environmental entrepreneurship resistance in SMEs has been defined in our interpretation as targeted individual or collective daily activities, implemented from the perspective of various intentions, motivations and other internal and external premises, which are in opposition to commonly used pro-environmental activities constituting the CER component of small and medium business. In addition, we identified a group of 20 micro-foundations, which from the level of an individual or organization may constitute the initiation of entrepreneurial activities, focused on environmental protection in SME. The indicated group was examined on a sample of 122 employees of the SME sector in Poland. After performing qualitative and quantitative analyses, it turned out that eight elements could be considered as micro-foundations of environmental entrepreneurship resistance.

Objective: Carry out a bibliometric study of the scientific production on Public Policies for Science, Technology and Innovation (ST&I), in the Web of Science database, in the period from 2013 to 2022. Theoretical framework: Is based on the literature on Public Policies for Science, Technology and Innovation and the history of Public Policies for Innovation in Brazil. Method: This research is classified as descriptive and quantitative. Data were collected from the Web of Science database by accessing the Journal Portal of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel, with a time frame between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2022. They were used for data analysis. RStudio® and VOSviewer® software and bibliometric packages Bibliometrix and Biblioshiny. Results and conclusion: 94 documents were identified, with the largest scientific productions on the subject coming from Brazil, China, Spain and Japan. In 2021, it was the year with the most cited documents, followed by 2020. The most cited sources are: Research Policy followed by Technological Forecasting and Social Change. The main co-occurrences of keywords are: science; innovation; technology; innovation policy; and, public policy. With regard to co-authorship between countries, there is a prevalence with China. The most relevant authors on the subject are: [Anonymous] A.; and Alvarez I. Regarding co-citation between authors, there was a prevalence of(e): Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development; Lundvall, B.A.; and, Borras, S. As for the most cited studies globally on the subject in the last ten years at the international level, there are: Padilla-Pérez, R. (2014); Amankwah-Amoah, J. (2016); and Ozkaya, G. (2021). Finally, it is concluded that this study aims to improve the knowledge base on Public Policies for Science, Technology and Innovation and the field of related studies. Search Implications: The main limitation of this search is that it was restricted to the Web of Science, where most of the documents were articles. Therefore, it would be interesting to consider a broader line of research that includes other databases, such as Scopus or Google Scholar, in addition to other types of publications, such as books or conference proceedings. Originality/Value: This study aims to improve the knowledge base on Public Policies for Science, Technology and Innovation and the field of related studies.
