This chapter summarises findings from the case studies, highlighting key policy lessons as well as successes and failures in research uptake. It discusses the features of an effective policy evaluation model, including what gaps exist and key elements that could be included in such a model. And it explores the future direction for cohorts, with a view to supporting agenda setting for longitudinal research in the coming years.

The present chapter analyzes the emergent concepts of communities of practice and organizational identity, as well as their interrelationships, in the context of a knowledge-based economy. In particular, the chapter focuses on new technology-based firms (NTBF). Two main propositions are discussed. First, members of these organizations can build the organizational identity through communities of practice. Second, the organizational identity socially built by members can facilitate the emergence of communities of practice. These propositions are first grounded in a theoretical review and later they are tested empirically in five case studies of new technology-based firms created at Madrid Science Park. Finally, the main conclusions and directions for further research are presented.

This article synthesizes and leverages two strategic frameworks when analyzing the true nature of strategy and the Internet: (1) the concept of strategic positioning, and (2) the resource-based view of the firm. When considered together, these approaches create a powerful tool for understanding the factors determining the winners and losers among Internet businesses. Several examples of the applied framework are demonstrated. These frameworks also help challenge broken thought around many of the postbubble assertions regarding strategy and the Internet. This analysis is based on a series of case studies, with information drawn both from secondary sources as well as over 60 field visits with senior managers at technology firms in Seattle, Silicon Valley, and Tokyo conducted from 2005-2006.

This chapter introduces the concept of civic innovation, which is distinct from the more commonly understood market innovation. Instead of moving quickly and disrupting markets through the introduction of novelties, civic innovators use novelties to change organizational cultures, and build publics around common cause. The chapter introduces four primary activities of civic innovation: network building, holding space, distributing ownership and persistent input. Drawing on two case studies, the Chicago Police Data Project and the Boston Student Rights App, the chapter shows how people are putting these activities into practice and reshaping how innovation happens. The chapter reviews popular conceptualizations of innovation, especially as they emerge from Silicon Valley, and describes why innovating in a civic context comes with different demands.

Practical Implications

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Where do solutions come from? Unlike the question about babies, the answer is harder to come by for solution providers seeking to develop products and services for their customers. While the textbooks and MBA notepads of thrusting executives have plenty of theories and case studies of what has been achieved by Silicon Valley mega-corporations, there are precious few examples of what has been done successfully by small-to-medium sized enterprises (SMEs), and even less about what has been done unsuccessfully, which would probably be much more insightful. Practical implications The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
