This paper aims to improve our understanding of why some companies are more successful in implementing open innovation strategies than others, by building a framework of capabilities required to benefit from open innovation. It argues that companies can benefit from open innovation when they have the capabilities to connect closed and open approaches to innovation. This requires building a culture conducive to developing networking capabilities. In the article, a comprehensive set of networking capabilities is developed intended as an analytical tool to evaluate to what extent companies are equipped to benefit from open innovation. As a first step to further validating the framework, empirical research has been carried out in The Netherlands to compare networking capabilities of companies in the technology industry and in the knowledge intensive business services sector. The results indicate that according to the framework, technology companies are in the lead in benefiting from open innovation, which may be explained by their previous experience in innovation networking. The results suggest that the networking capabilities framework is a promising tool for analysis that can help companies to become better equipped to jointly create value and capture value in innovation networks. The research has policy implications for regions as well, because it indicates that regional open innovation strategies need to address the development of networking capabilities of companies and other actors in the regional innovation system.

Knowledge Intensive

Knowledge intensive business services (KIBS) as regional innovation systems. The number of business enterprises in a particular region represents a location factor that reflects the ability to develop a regional innovation system. Specialization resulting in branches equipped with pertinent, intensive know-how and the degree of intensity of the knowledge of these branches provide significant hints about the extent of specialized information present as well as about the potential for transferring knowledge within company networks. By identifying branches endowed with concentrated knowledge and by analyzing cases of specialization in a region, the contribution in hand offers an initial indication about the quantification of creative environments.

Innovation Strategies

The main goal of the article is to present the regional innovation strategies in the context of the industrial changes in Poland. The analysis has three parts. The first part introduces the general aims of RIS and their history in Europe, the second concerns the RIS in Poland and one of the Polish RIS in particular – RIS Silesia, and the third part describes the effects of Regional Innovations Strategies.RIS are the instruments of regional governments to build the regional innovation systems. A regional innovation system is the environment improving the entrepreneurship and innovation. RIS have been known in Europe since the 1980s but in Poland they are a new instrument implemented by the relatively new structures of regional government.The process of creation and implementation of these documents should be observed by the academics from the beginning, as it may turn out to be one of the most important instruments of the economic policy of the Polish regions. This is because of the financial capacity of the Polish regions and their willingness to follow the West European regions’ example.

This paper analyses a number of European regions which, in the last two decades, have exhibited a significant shift towards knowledge-intensive industrial sectors coupled with a considerable increase in competitiveness and growth. The analysis identifies the main factors of territorial development behind each regional renewal process and captures a number of common trajectories of regional competitiveness. Interestingly, all the regional ‘success stories' are strongly dependent on the presence of a tri-polar regional innovation system that glues together firms, government institutions and academia.

AbstractTerritorial servitization is a topic of interest due its impact on regional growth and innovation. Considering that the formation of new KIBS is a good indicator of such TS process and with the aim of contributing to the empirical literature on this topic, this study analyses to what extent the ‘manufacturing quality’ and ‘innovation environment’ profiles determined the different types of new knowledge intensive business services (KIBS).  The research tackles the creation of new KIBS in 17 Spanish regions for the period 2000 to 2016 in the respective regions. The results reveal that new KIBS were deeply affected by economic changes that happened as a result of the great 2008 crisis and some KIBS categories are more affected by the techno-economic environment than others.
