Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Innovation can play a critical role in addressing socioeconomic objectives, which are, according to the OECD, affected by the following factors: Economic growth and employment, environmental challenges, and social challenges.
By utilizing innovative approaches, it may be possible to counter demographic changes, senior citizens could lead full lives and retain their mental and physical abilities for longer. New technological and non-technological solutions (such as organization innovation) have the potential to mitigate the effects of global climate change and promote the preservation of biodiversity. As to economic growth and employment, current theories single out furthering knowledge and advancing technological innovation as the key tools to achieving sustainable growth. Latest growth theory models expose the indigeneity of knowledge and human capital in that the source of both are investment decisions made based on economic incentives, which are in turn determined by institutional policies.
To describe this issue and the current situation, this Special Issue is focused on (but not limited to) the following points:
- New trends in economy and their impacts on globalization (macro perspective),
- innovative approaches to the management of operational processes,
- new business models (including platforms),
- technology transfer and resource implications,
- commercialization of intellectual property protection,
- open science, open innovation,
- technology transfer at universities, technology transfer office—functions and efficiency.
