Creativity and regional innovation: Evidence from EU regions ★ (2014, methodology): “In this framework, a linear unidirectional relationship is drawn, running from basic research, applied research, and innovation to the ultimate goal of economic growth (for recent discussions, see e.g. Balconi et al., 2010; Tödtling and Trippl, 2011).”
Appropriation strategies and open innovation in SMEs (2016, background): “And, while there has been the occasional recent related defence of the linear model (Balconi et al., 2010), Chesbrough’s closed model has much of the appearance of a straw man.”
Responsible Innovation and the Innovation of Responsibility: Governing Sustainable Development in a Globalized World (2015, unknown): “Moreover, deliberative global governance schemes provide opportunities for innovations for participating firms alongside the innovation process (Balconi et al. 2010; Crossan and Apaydin 2010).”
Negative emissions—Part 3: Innovation and upscaling (2018, background): “Still, the notion that innovation includes a progression from early stages to later ones, that there is an essential sequence to them, remains relevant and useful (Balconi et al 2010).”
Handbook of the Economics of Innovation (2013, background): “6 Kline and Rosenberg (1986) critique the linear model, whereas Balconi et al. (2009) offer a nuanced defense of its value in analysis.”
