An effectual leadership perspective for developing rural entrepreneurial ecosystems (2018, background): “…property), access to information, infrastructure, quality of life issues such as education and healthcare, government taxation, economic development, and the activities of universities and research and technology organizations (Van Lente et al. 2003; Chunhavuthiyanon and Intarakumnerd 2014).”
Unravelling the role of innovation platforms in supporting co-evolution of innovation: Contributions and tensions in a smallholder dairy development programme (2013, background): “Building on the theoretical and empirical insights from the broader innovation studies literature (Howells, 2006; van Lente et al., 2003; Winch and Courtney, 2007 ), AIS scholars have argued that there is thus an important role for so-called innovation intermediar ies, who engage in coordinatin g…”
How mismatching institutional logics hinder niche–regime interaction and how boundary spanners intervene (2015, methodology): “For the purpose of this research we focus on the micro-level of boundary spanning individuals and exclude the literature on systemic intermediaries (e.g. Van Lente et al., 2003; Klerkx and Leeuwis, 2008, 2009; Kivimaa, 2014).”
Orchestrating innovation networks: The case of innovation brokers in the agri-food sector (2010, methodology): “In this manner, the innovation network management process corresponds to the innovation process management function of an innovation broker (Klerkx and Leeuwis 2008b; Van Lente et al. 2003).”
Demand articulation in emerging technologies: Intermediary user organisations as co-producers? (2011, background): “…mportance because of an increase in different sorts of actors nvolved in the innovation process and the related need for ranslating and transferring knowledge (Van Lente et al., 2003). xamples include strategic alliances, spin-offs, joint ventures, nnovation centres, incubators, and science parks.”
Addressing barriers to eco-innovation: Exploring the finance mobilisation functions of institutional innovation intermediaries (2016, background): “…2009; van Lente et al., 2003; Yusuf, 2008), resulting in conceptual and qualitative evidence that innovation intermediaries at the intersection of public and private R&D and commercialisation have beneficial effects (Kivimaa, 2014; Klerkx and Leeuwis, 2009; Yusuf, 2008; van Lente et al., 2003).”
Four dangers in innovation policy studies – and how to avoid them (2016, background): “For example, Howells (2006) and van Lente et al. (2003) discuss the system function performed by ‘intermediaries’.”
Innovation intermediaries and collaboration: Knowledge–based practices and internal value creation (2018, neutral): “Most RTOs, such as the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, were created to facilitate the transfer of knowledge from the science base to ﬁ rms and have an applied research focus (van Lente et al., 2003).”
Establishment and embedding of innovation brokers at different innovation system levels: insights from the Dutch agricultural sector (2009, background): “Since innovation brokers are a relatively new phenomenon, this calls for research on the relationships they develop with the broader innovation system for which they fulfill intermediation functions, especially with traditional parties in the knowledge infrastructure [22,32,52].”
