Addressing the challenge of wood mobilisation through a systemic innovation lens: The Irish forest sector innovation system

The article examines the signs of systemic innovation on the example of the introduction of inclusive practices in modern conditions of Russian education modernization. The purpose of this article is based on the study of scientific-theoretical sources and the analysis and synthesis of innovative practices to substantiate the traits of a systemic innovation in inclusive education. The methodology of the article are legal documents in the field of education, reference and textbooks, nonfiction materials, as well as the work of foreign and domestic scientists, the credibility and scientific reputation which are recognized by the scientific community, and the achieved in prominence high level research inclusive education. Economics and pedagogy are determined on the basis of consideration of the conceptual apparatus from the standpoint of philosophy, as well as the essential and specific characteristics of innovation. The study of the evolution of innovation and the diversity of their types and types make it possible to present the classification system of innovation influence, the strength and scale of impact on the entire education system. There were outlined the allocated spot (local), linear (horizontal plane); structure (spherical, spatial, architectural); the fundamental (base); radical (actually the system); multidimensional (versatile, global) and nadcisnienie some innovation. By deduction the thesis that the introduction of inclusive education in mainstream educational space requires a system of development tailored to the specific socio-cultural conditions and educational policy is substantiated. In the text highlights of the most important directions of innovative activity of educational institutions (the creation of an inclusive culture, develop inclusive policies and the implementation of inclusive practices) is given. In conclusion it is emphasized that solving problems in the field of inclusion makes a significant transformation in all elements of the education system and the determined image optimize, improve and stimulate the educational environment at the regional and sectoral level, as befits a true system innovation. The conclusion is justified that the introduction of inclusive education in mainstream educational practice as a fundamental, structural, radical, multi-dimensional innovation system has sufficient resources to improve the quality and increase the efficiency of education.

The Ideal

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze the different assessments of a particular industry and its ability to innovative, renew and prosper, but also to look into the underlying assumptions that are hiding behind the systemic approaches utilized in these assessments. The point of departure is an empirical puzzle: one group of studies presents a rather optimistic view of the Swedish life science industry and its ability to economize on research, policy and industrial investments. Another group of studies presents much a darker view, questioning the capacity of new companies to reach economic endurance, as well as the possibility of keeping the actually successful companies within the country. At a first sight it appears as if the two groups of studies are resting on a common theoretical ground: all seem to depart from a systemic innovation perspective that challenges the idea of an independent business landscape. Design/methodology/approach – The difference between the assessments becomes comprehensible once the authors allow for a variety of systemic approaches in innovation thinking. The authors propose an ideal-typical distinction between two types of system perspectives; those that view technology as entangled in its environment and those that view technology as disentangled from its environment. The authors use the national innovation system (NIS) and the industrial network (IMP) approaches to exemplify the two perspectives. Findings – An implication of the study is that the term “systemic perspective” is very broad and encompassing, something that in turn points to the importance of being clear about what the authors mean with a system, but also with what the theoretical assumptions focus on and abstract away from. Originality/value – The ideal-typical distinction between two types of system perspectives; those that view technology as entangled in its environment and those that view technology as disentangled from its environment. The authors use the NIS and the IMP approaches to exemplify the two perspectives.

The Impact

The article investigates the “systemic” dimension of the existing institutional‑legal and organizational peculiarities of the innovation policy in Ukraine, based on the IS approach, which is seen as one of the main guidelines for the innovation policy formation, and, in particular, underlies the Ukrainian framework as well. The authors found that state strategic documents do not sufficiently reflect the systemic character of the NIS, nor do they place linkages or firms at the core of the national innovation system. Areas are determined where the innovation policy cannot be realized completely because of the current organization of activities and powers of the central executive authorities in this field, specifically: the impact on business, the formation of infrastructure, and the development of linkages. European countries’ experience in the field of innovation policy implementation is explored, particularly, the creation and operating of the models of the national innovation agencies as well as the spectrum of their functions. Based on the European experience, it is proposed that a State Agency for Innovation and Development in Ukraine be created that will integrate the functions of regional project funding, provide advice, and realize the basic functions of the innovation intermediary.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe through innovation system foresight and systemic innovation approach to address key systemic issues of European Union (EU) Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) concerning the sustainable development and economic resilience: the authors highlight the need for a systemic approach to innovation policy for the sustainable islands’ growth. Design/methodology/approach This research focuses on a multiple case study of selected OCTs, members of the Association of the OCTs. Specifically, this paper illustrates the foresight approach implemented in six OCTs in the context of the Territorial Strategies for Innovation project funded by the 10th European Development Fund. Findings The focus is on innovation system foresight and systemic innovation: the authors argue that key innovation elements of the individual OCTs can be used as crucial components of an emerging innovation system while this specific type of foresight can assist the governments of respective OCTs in the selection and design of specific instruments in relation to the formulation of their innovation strategies and policies. Originality/value This paper is based on work undertaken by the Territorial Strategies for Innovation project team during a three-year period dedicated to supporting the governments of OCTs both in defining and in implementing their innovation strategies. Its main contribution is to develop the concept of innovation system foresight and systemic innovation for the OCTs. The work presented here is considered to be of value by highlighting specific innovation elements for achieving sustainable and inclusive growth in OCTs.

An innovation system not only depends on the underlying scientific and technical bases of a given sector, but also on the characteristics of the environment in which the innovative organizations evolve, the linkages among innovation actors and the inner capacity of these organizations to innovate. In early 2001, a study was undertaken by the Conseil de la recherche forestière du Québec for the purpose of describing the innovation system in Quebec's forest sector. This was achieved by assessing 33 indicators using a database detailing the research projects underway in 19992000 in academic, governmental and private research centres in Quebec. This assessment showed that Quebec has many programs that provide training in natural sciences, yet programs focusing on forest sciences attract very few Quebec students. The assessment also showed that Quebec does particularly well in terms of infrastructure when it comes to forest-related research. More than 1300 scientists, research professionals, technicians and graduate students work in some twenty establishments, where $120 million is spent on research in the areas of forest management and resource processing. Furthermore, the assessment showed that there are numerous ways that innovation actors can interact with one another. Popular initiatives include meetings among interested parties to define research priorities, the development of joint research projects and the pooling of research resources. However, mechanisms encouraging the mobility between research centre personnel and organizations involved in forest management or the processing of forest resources are still very scarce.
