Smyrnios %K ecosystem %K knowledge %K opportunity %K roadmap %K scientometrics %K text mining %X Opportunity identification is a continuous process in ecosystems. However, ambiguities and challenges associated with knowledge exploration and exploitation can retard opportunity recognition processes. This in turn may culminate in excessive expenditure of resources or loss of latent opportunities. The present study adopts an analytical approach and proposes a methodological roadmap that utilizes scientometric and text mining techniques. The roadmap uses data from Web of Science as input, and generates insights that support decision-making about resource saving, strategic planning, investment, and policymaking. Our roadmap extends methods used in studying ecosystems by combining existing and novel techniques in data analytics. Using Python and VOSViewer, we show an exemplary application of the new roadmap, framed in the context of the Nordic countries’ renewable energy ecosystem. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 11 %P 34-55 %8 01/2021 %G eng %U timreview.ca/article/1415 %N 1 %1 Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Behrooz Khademi is a PhD Candidate in Technology and Innovation Management at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) in Melbourne, Australia.

However, these two activities are very dependent on the people who perform them. As demonstrated by a pilot project realized at Hydro-Québec’s research institute (IREQ), any approach that does not take this understanding into account is doomed to failure. This article proposes that what must be developed is a knowledge and idea management system designed as a coherent ecosystem that takes all controlling factors into account and is based on stakeholder interest and preferences. This ecosystem is the result of a meticulous design of each of the elements that must generally be taken into account in a business model. A business model approach includes not only developing a value proposition for knowledge and idea management that suits the target clientele but also a good understanding of the resources and activities required to deliver this value proposition and especially the ways to finance them. Key to the development of such an ecosystem is the creation of fully functional innovation communities, which are responsible for building up and nurturing their ideas and knowledge assets and getting value out of them. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 5 %P 50-58 %8 07/2015 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/914 %N 7 %1 IREQ Raouf Naggar is Head of Strategic Development at Hydro-Québec’s Research Institute (IREQ), where he is responsible for strategic innovation and creativity.

The case of the innovative Swatch watch, re-examined in this article with new information and insights, demonstrates that, without knowledge, design is not possible; but, with only knowledge, all we can do is reproduce. Innovation also requires creativity, the introduction of new concepts. Knowledge needs to be associated with unbridled, surprising, and hitherto unknown creativity, as described by the concept-knowledge theory of design. In this article, a new analysis of the well-known but misunderstood case of the Swatch yield lessons about the importance of creativity and knowledge in developing innovative products. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 5 %P 34-40 %8 07/2015 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/912 %N 7 %1 Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers Gilles Garel is a Full Chair Professor of Innovation Management at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (CNAM) in Paris, France.

The concept of creativity is closely aligned to the idea of luxury goods as rare and highly crafted, often unique, objects produced through artistic endeavour. Moreover, some luxuries, such as expensive cars and private jets, require leading-edge design and technologically advanced inputs. Although creativity is essential for the development of new luxury goods and services, this article highlights that some luxuries are timeless and eschew the changes associated with radical creative transformations. Following a brief discussion of the nature of luxury and creativity, a number of examples are employed to illustrate the different roles of creativity in the development and delivery of different types of luxury. The relationship between luxury and creativity is shown to be varied and complex. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 5 %P 41-49 %8 07/2015 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/913 %N 7 %1 University of Southampton Joanne Roberts is Professor in Arts and Cultural Management and Director of the Winchester Luxury Research Group at Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton, United Kingdom.
