Innovation policy is a relatively new item on policy-makers’ agendas. t is only from the mid-1990s onwards that the term became popular among users. In generic terms, ‘innovation policy’ is traditionally conceived as a way to support the capability of countries or regions and their innovation systems in producing novelties and putting them to use. The academic and political debate about innovation policy has focused for decades on supporting the generation of innovations. This is best illustrated by the concepts and indicators used to assess and compare the innovativeness and competitiveness of countries, which concentrate primarily on supply-side conditions, activities, capabilities, and interactions. Moreover, innovation policy rational and policy instruments have been developed mainly in the context of developed countries.
Demand-side innovation policy instruments may be defined as a set of public measures to increase the demand for innovations, to improve the conditions for the uptake of innovations, and/or to improve the articulation of demand in order to spur innovations and the diffusion of innovations. Such a broad definition of demand-based innovation policies implies twin rationales, namely, to promote and stimulate innovation and to increase the diffusion of innovation. In addition, this second rationale, the diffusion of innovation, further implies that the concept of innovation extends beyond the scope of 'new to the world' and encompasses innovations that are `new to a firm’ or to a certain geographical space.

Innovation policies need to change to support digital innovation. Key changes include ensuring access to data; making innovation policies more anticipatory, responsive, and agile; adapting public research, education, and training; fostering competitive collaborative ecosystems; and engaging citizens in policymaking. While the degree of change varies by country and sector, all domains of innovation policy are affected, with data access, digital technology diffusion, and developing digital technologies as priority areas.
Dr Margaret J Wyszomirski: Carrying The Torch (with notes)jeffpoulin
Margaret J Wyszomirski offered three organizing ideas at the "Lighting a Fire" conference in Dublin: (1) taking advantage of the current policy window of opportunity to push initiatives, (2) viewing creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship as an ongoing continuum supported by research, planning, implementation and evaluation, and (3) leveraging the convergence of identifying issues, developing ideas, and political will as part of the policy window process.
This document discusses why innovation and government support for innovation are important. It provides three key reasons why governments should support innovation: 1) To address market failures in the private sector that discourage innovation such as high costs and risks of innovating. 2) To address coordination failures and help different actors in the innovation system work together effectively. 3) While acknowledging that governments can also fail, more research is needed to better understand the causal effects of innovation policies and how governments can improve data collection and evaluation to design more effective policies.

Keynote #TCI2019 Christian Ketels - Towards a new European Industrial Policy:...TCI Network
The document discusses Europe's economic challenges and proposes an ambitious new industrial strategy and cluster-based approach. It notes Europe is experiencing a manufacturing downturn due to global trade tensions. While short-term policies aim to stimulate growth, long-term challenges like aging demographics, low productivity growth, and technological disruption remain. The document argues an industrial strategy should enhance framework conditions, target specific sectors, and leverage clusters to collectively address challenges. Success will require recognizing demands on cluster organizations and capabilities.
Best Practices of Innovation Policies in the News Media Industry: NorwayArne Krumsvik
Norway has a wealthy and digitally sophisticated population but its media industry is significantly less innovative than other industries. A study of Norwegian media firms from 2008-2012 found that only 1.7% introduced new products or services, compared to 11.5% of other service firms. Norway also lacks a systematic media innovation policy and none of its innovation funding supports media business model innovation. While some past policies hindered innovation by discouraging bundled digital/print offerings, ownership limitations meant to promote diversity may have also limited innovation, as larger media groups tend to be more innovative.

The document summarizes Danish efforts in innovative public procurement through three initiatives: 1) Procurement of innovative solutions in the welfare sector, 2) Partnership for health and medical innovation, and 3) Partnership for adaptation to climate change. These initiatives aim to use public procurement budgets to drive innovation by focusing on functional requirements, public-private partnerships, and common challenges. The partnerships have provided over 400 million Danish kroner in funding so far for over 90 innovative projects. The document outlines the goals, approaches, and early results of these initiatives to promote smarter and more innovative public spending in Denmark.
This presentation discusses lessons learned from Lithuania's 15 years of innovation policy making and identifies challenges going forward. Three key lessons are: 1) it is difficult to copy foreign practices without understanding the national context, so researchers should be engaged; 2) effective innovation requires business participation for commercialization, so businesses must be engaged; and 3) coordination of policy mixes and evaluation are needed for good results. Three main challenges are: 1) keeping priorities focused as defined in Lithuania's smart specialization strategy; 2) overcoming a culture of legalism and formalism in policy making; and 3) better aligning actors in the national innovation system toward common goals.

The goal is to benchmark best practices for supporting competitiveness through industry clusters.
TCI 2015 Cluster governance in North West of the Netherlands TCI Network
This document discusses cluster governance in the North West region of the Netherlands. It notes that there is no national cluster policy and governance has been decentralized to provinces and regions. This has led to an explosion of initiatives at the regional and local levels. There are diverse types of organizations that have emerged, including economic boards, campus organizations, and regional platforms. However, there is a lack of coordination and collaboration between these organizations both within and across regions. Moving forward, there is a need to search for new forms of collaboration, find the right scale of operations, and address common challenges like the circular economy.

This document provides an overview of the OECD project on Innovation for Inclusive Growth and its 2015 report. The project aims to examine how innovation can promote inclusive development. It involved experts from various countries and organizations. The 2015 report focuses on inclusive innovations that improve welfare for disadvantaged groups. It discusses policy approaches to support such innovations and ensure they reach scale. The document outlines challenges like informality, access to expertise and finance, and regulatory issues. It proposes policy responses like cross-government coordination, public-private partnerships, and financial support to foster cooperation across actors and address challenges.
Innovation is demand driven. India is not home to any significant global innovation for the obvious reason -there is no demand for innovations in India. There is demand for innovative products/ services and they are met by imports. Preaching to private sector to invest in R&D has become an annual ritual. Declaration like Innovation Decade exposed hollowness of public policy. Will the government walk the talk?
The document describes Science, Technology & Innovation (ST&I) Partners LLP, which aims to facilitate collaboration between knowledge-based organizations through three activities: the ST&I Forum, ST&I Public Affairs, and ST&I Collaborations. The ST&I Forum is a knowledge network that brings together industry, academia, and the public sector to discuss issues. ST&I Public Affairs works to ensure activities lead to measurable policy changes. ST&I Collaborations creates and delivers novel public-private partnerships.

Science, Innovation and the Economy: UK Challenges and OpportunitiesTera Allas
Presentation for Government Economic Service seminar in July 2014 on the role of science and innovation in economic growth and the UK's respective strengths and weaknesses
This document discusses inclusive innovation and the challenges of current innovation policy. It argues that innovation and productivity vary widely between industries, firm sizes, and localities, and these disparities seem to be growing. Current centralised innovation policy may be exacerbating these disparities by primarily supporting the most innovative firms. The document proposes introducing distribution sensitive innovation policies to promote innovation among less productive firms and sectors through measures like supporting R&D in traditional industries, innovation in peripheral areas, STEM training for disadvantaged groups, and technologies to promote inclusion. It also stresses the importance of knowledge diffusion and absorptive capacity.
This presentation explains the different actions of the ICT priority, as part of Horizont 2020 programme. These actions that will be launched in 2014-2015 in support of entrepreunership in ICT; support for definition & implementation of Inducement Prizes and support for precommercial procurement.

The document discusses challenges facing ICT innovation policies in Europe and proposes a more holistic approach. It argues that current policies focus too much on technological research and not enough on design, user needs, and business models. It also claims policies do not support commercialization of research results or collaboration between academia and business. The document proposes that future policies promote: 1) art, creativity, and design in ICT research to create new products and services, 2) user-centered design and innovation, and 3) closer collaboration across sectors to support innovation from research through commercialization. Adopting this holistic approach could help overcome barriers and better promote ICT innovation in Europe.

ORSI Policy brief: Kuntien hankinnoilla hiilineutraaliuteenORSI
Julkisilla hankinnoilla vaikuttaminen on konkreettinen keino, kun haetaan ratkaisuja hiilineutraaliuden saavuttamiseksi ja ilmastokriisin selättämiseksi. Julkisen sektorin rakennuskannassa, energiankulutuksessa ja palvelujen tuottamisessa piilee merkittävä ilmastopäästöjen vähennyspotentiaali, sillä Suomen julkisten hankintojen hiilijalanjälki vastaa noin viidesosaa maamme kulutusperusteisesti lasketuista kasvihuonekaasupäästöistä.Tästä hiilijalanjäljestä taas lähes 80 prosenttia aiheutuu kuntien ja kuntayhtymien hankinnoista.
Keinoja ilmastoystävällisiin hankintoihin ovat kestävyystavoitteiden liittäminen hankintaprosessiin, puhtaan teknologian hankinnat ja fiksujen palveluratkaisujen edistäminen. Vuonna 2017 uudistettu hankintalaki tukee hankintojen kestävyyden huomioimista aiempaa paremmin, ja vuonna 2020 käyttöönotettu kansallinen julkisten hankintojen strategia, Hankinta-Suomi, painottaa vahvasti hankintojen kestävyyttä.
Hankintapulssi-työkalulla on mahdollista tarkastella, mihin hankintakokonaisuuksiin liittyy suurimmat päästövähennysmahdollisuudet. Jo tällä hetkellä Suomesta löytyy runsaasti hyviä esimerkkejä vähähiilisistä hankinnoista. Käyttämättömiä mahdollisuuksia on kuitenkin vielä paljon.
Eteneminen kohti vähähiilisiä hankintoja vaatii kunnan johdon tuen, kestävyyttä edistävät hankintalinjaukset, hankintaosaamisen kehittämistä, resursseja ja yhteistyötä.
Ilmastobudjetointi on arvokas työkalu hiilineutraaliutta tavoitteleville kunnille. Paikallisten päästövähennystavoitteiden sisällyttäminen kunnan talousarvioon ja niiden seuraaminen tilinpäätöksessä auttavat kuntia varmistamaan, että tavoitteisiin
pääsemiselle osoitetaan tarpeeksi varoja.
Ilmastobudjetointi parantaa myös kunnan eri toimijoiden välistä yhteistyötä, mikä on välttämätöntä tavoitteiden saavuttamiseksi. Kun kunnan strategiset ilmastotavoitteet ja -toimenpiteet muodostavat oleellisen osan vuosittaista budjettia ja raportointia, kunnan johto pystyy seuraamaan edistystä. Näiden tietojen avulla poliittiset päätöksentekijät pystyvät kertomaan toteutuneista edistysaskeleista ja kehityksestä kuntalaisille ja erilaisille sidosryhmille.
Ilmastobudjetin menestyksekäs käyttöönotto ja hyödyntäminen edellyttävät kunnalta muutakin kuin pelkkää mittaamista tai laskentaa. Oleellista on myös rakentaa kuntaorganisaatioon ilmastotoimenpiteitä tukeva kulttuuri.

Max Koch: Towards a Postgrowth Sustainable Welfare StateORSI
This document summarizes a presentation about how states can facilitate a social and ecological transformation towards a post-growth sustainable welfare state. It outlines that states should ensure production and consumption patterns do not exceed environmental limits, define limits on economic and social inequality, and steer public and private actors. However, four main obstacles prevent states from taking these actions: the growth imperative, material interests of dominant groups, wellbeing concerns of the electorate, and asymmetric societal power structures. For states to become more active, there needs to be better academic understanding of alternative state roles, political/social mobilization to shift state balances of power, and co-development of eco-social policies between researchers, activists and citizens.

From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...Rokibul Hasan
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.
Many companies have perceived CRM that accompanied by numerous
uncoordinated initiatives as a technological solution for problems in
individual areas. However, CRM should be considered as a strategy when
a company decides to implement it due to its humanitarian, technological
and process-related effects (Mendoza et al., 2007, p. 913). CRM is
evolving today as it should be seen as a strategy for maintaining a longterm relationship with customers.
A CRM business strategy includes the internet with the marketing,
sales, operations, customer services, human resources, R&D, finance, and
information technology departments to achieve the company’s purpose and
maximize the profitability of customer interactions (Chen and Popovich,
2003, p. 673).
After Corona Virus Disease-2019/Covid-19 (Coronavirus) first
appeared in Wuhan, China towards the end of 2019, its effects began to
be felt clearly all over the world. If the Coronavirus crisis is not managed
properly in business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer
(B2C) sectors, it can have serious negative consequences. In this crisis,
companies can typically face significant losses in their sales performance,
existing customers and customer satisfaction, interruptions in operations
and accordingly bankruptcy

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge.The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition.The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.

6. Why do we need transformative innovation policy?
Problems with promoting innovation for
innovation’s sake:
– Economic competitiveness is
not sufficent to solve many
environmental and social
problems
– Innovations produce negative
effects: emissions, inequality,
oppression, excessive use of
natural resources…
– We are unable to address
these negative externalities by
regulation
– Significant share of global
human capital goes to
generating unnecessary or
harmful innovations

7. Creating demand for an eco-welfare state
• Need for a ’normative turn’ in
innovation policy
• Until recently, the policy
measures to tackle ’grand
challenges’ have mostly
focused on investing in
research (e.g. Lund
Declaration 2015;
Horizon2020).
• New emphasis on demand-
side measures: public
procurement as an engine for
promoting and guiding
innovation.

Boosting further innovation,
generating customer references
Buying novel solutions with few

‘Catalytic’ procurement of
innovation: catalysing the
development of innovations for
broader public use
Market creation for innovative

10. Challenges for research and practice
• From grand challenges to concrete actions
• Improving procurement skills and capabilities
• Scaling local successes
• From innovative public procurement to effective policy mixes
• Challenges from directionality:
– Co-creating desirable futures
– Vulnerable to lobbying and political opportunism
– Avoiding ‘picking the winners’
– Taking care of those who the innovations affect in negative ways
