“…Some studies map and investigate various regional dimensions of the innovative process (Pinto, 2009;Gössling and Rutten, 2007;De Bruijn, 2004) while others map regional innovation patterns and categorize regions according to their modes of performing different phases in the innovation process (Capello and Lenzi, 2013;Camagni and Capello, 2013). These studies investigate regional dimensions of innovation processes and innovation outcomes (e.g.…”

Abstract:The innovation policy of the European Union is based on the concept of smart specialization of regions, which means that regions should focus on their comparative strengths. With respect to this policy on transport innovations there is an interest to gain insights in the comparative innovation performances and capacities of regions in the transport sector. Innovation performances and capacities are, however, complex concepts. This paper elaborates an approach to measure and explain the innovation performance of the transport sector at regional level. The approach is based on structural equation modelling and applied to 251 European regions. The results show that high performing regions are predominantly found in Germany and Sweden, while low performing regions are located in Finland, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Spain and United Kingdom. However, the scores of regions on innovation performance are rather different when the performance is measured for the transport manufacturing and transport service sector individually. Among the factors that may explain transport innovation performance of regions funding possibilities appear to be important, while the relevance of innovation milieu is limited.

“…Por ejemplo, desde una vertiente institucional se analiza la coordinación de diferentes procesos e ideas por parte de un conjunto de organizaciones para crear nuevos productos o servicios (Galanakis, 2006). Así, se hace imprescindible contextualizar no sólo un conjunto dado de organizaciones objeto de estudio, sino su trayectoria histórica (Pinto, 2009). Esto es, se requiere de un marco conceptual tal que pueda ser adaptado a su propósito: la descripción de las funciones e interrelaciones entre diferentes organizaciones, siendo a su vez capaz de atender a su heterogeneidad.…”
