    The importance of organizational culture and climate for the involvement of Swiss academic research units in knowledge sharing with private companies
    (2019) Heimsch, Fabian; Barjak, Franz
    The culture of open science that has governed communication and behaviour in academic organizations for a long time, above all in universities, has undergone changes in the light of the increasing importance of third mission activities, such as knowledge and technology transfer and commercialization of academic inventions. However, not all academic organizations have embraced this change and we still do not have a full understanding, how different organizational missions, internal incentives, and regulations of knowledge sharing activities relate to the performance und importance of different mechanisms of knowledge sharing. This contribution addresses this gap by drawing on a new data set of more than 900 institutes at Swiss academic organizations. We find that the mission and self-conception of an organization matters at the immediate level of the institute, as well as at the more remote level of the university or organization. What matters more depends on the mechanism of knowledge sharing in

    Understanding the relationship between organisational culture and open innovation
    (ISPIM, 2018) Heimsch, Fabian; Barjak, Franz; Bitran, I.; Conn, Stefan; Huizingh, Eelko; Kokshagina, Olga; Torkkeli, M.; Tynnhammar, Marcus [in: Proceedings of the XXIX ISPIM Innovation Conference. Innovation, The Name of the Game]
    Different cultural traits of organisations, such as the orientation towards flexibility, risk toler-ance, and reflexivity have been found to influence their innovation performance. However, the relationship of corporate culture to openness of innovation activities has been largely over-looked, except for early studies on the so-called not-invented-here (NIH) syndrome and few newer studies. Our contribution aims at closing this gap. Drawing on a survey of more than 250 Swiss companies, we relate different constructs of organisational culture to the openness of technological innovation activities. We find that openness varies considerably by company size, age, and group membership. A complementary relationship between internal R&D and open-ness prevails. Out of six cultural constructs we find the strongest correlation between a rule and plan-oriented culture and the degree of openness of process innovations. Moreover, spontane-ous decision-making and action relates negatively to procuring innovation support act

    Influences of the regional and national economic environment on the technology transfer performance of academic institutions in Europe
    (Springer, 2016) Barjak, Franz; Es-Sadki, Nordine; Audretsch, David B.; Lehmann, Erik; Meoli, Michele; Vismara, Silvio [in: University Evolution, Entrepreneurial Activity and Regional Competitiveness]
    The paper looks how the national and regional environment influence the knowledge and technology transfer (KTT) performance of universities and public research institutes. We regress a number of institutional control variables, country dummies and variables for region size and economic structure, per capita income, technology intensity, andR&Dintensity on four different tech transfer performance measures (R&D agreements with companies, patent applications, start-ups, licence agreements). Drawing on data from a survey of more than 200 European institutions we find: (1) Country differences are related to differences in the institutional set-up of technology transfer and to the (regional) economic environment which suggests multi-level analyses to properly take these interactions into account. (2) Institutions in a country usually excel for one performance measure which we take as a supporting argument for the development of transfer strategies. (3) Having manufacturing companies and a large share of governmental R&D expenditure in the region matter more than the technology intensity and R&D intensity of the regional economy. The latter result is counterintuitive and indicates that further research is needed in order to understand better where the clients of university technologies actually come from.

    Business model innovation as a composite type of innovation
    (25.06.2015) Barjak, Franz; Perrett, Pieter Jan
    The paper conceptualises business model innovations (BMI) as a fundamental change of the mechanisms and arrangements of how a company creates, delivers and captures value. It translates this definition into a composite innovation indicator that consists of a combination of radical product and radical process innovations, or radical product innovations combined with marketing and organisational innovations. Deepening our understanding of the construct by means of an exploratory analysis of 60 BMI case studies, we find that revenue model innovations have not been captured sufficiently in the CIS datasets. At the same time, they constitute an essential element and characterize a significant number of BMI cases. We suggest that innovation surveys should introduce questions on revenue model innovations and add a few further changes to better capture business model innovations in the future.

    The effectiveness of policies for formal knowledge transfer from European universities and public research institutes to firms
    (Oxford University Press, 01/2015) Barjak, Franz; Es-Sadki, Nordine; Arundel, Anthony [in: Research Evaluation]
    We use survey data for 247 European universities and 40 public research organizations to investigate the effects of institutional policies on four outcomes of transfer performance (R&D agreements with companies, patent applications, licence agreements, and start-ups established). We find that the effects of policies to establish clear rules, improve transparency, and provide financial or non-finan- cial incentives vary by outcome. Improving transparency by publishing the policies for licencing or intellectual property are often negatively correlated with outcomes, particularly for licence agree- ments. Out of three non-financial incentives, only social rewards have a rather positive effect (on start-ups), but financial incentives are positively correlated with several outcomes. A higher salary is positively linked to the number of research agreements and patent applications, while giving in- ventors a share of revenue is positively correlated with licencing and start-ups. The results suggest that the type of incentive as well as the degree of transparency of transfer policies should be chosen to complement the main transfer channels and strategy of the institution.

    Paving the way for a new composite indicator on business model innovations
    (18.06.2014) Barjak, Franz; Bill, Marc; Perrett, Pieter Jan
    The paper conceptualises business model innovations (BMI) as a fundamental change of the mechanisms and arrangements of how a company creates, delivers and captures value. It translates this definition into a composite innovation indicator that consists of a combination of radical product and radical process innovations, or radical product innovations combined with marketing and organisational innovations. Implementing this definition with empirical data from the Community Innovation Surveys (CIS) in Europe, we find that roughly one out of 20 SMEs has introduced a BMI in the three-year period preceding the surveys. Deepening our understanding of the construct by means of an exploratory analysis of 60 BMI case studies, we find that revenue model innovations have not been captured sufficiently in the CIS datasets. At the same time, they constitute an essential element and characterize a significant number of BMI cases. We suggest that innovation surveys should introduce questions on revenue model innovations and add a few further changes to better capture business model innovations in the future.
