Strategic networking involves aligning your network to achieve goals. It is a strategic, tactical, and operational process. Strategically, you analyze needs and resources, and plan a relationship portfolio. Tactically, you plan which networking events to attend. Operationally, you search for and exchange information through contacts. The workshop teaches using tools like LinkedIn to find contacts, meeting them at events, and reflecting on progress. Strategic networking follows a prepare, interact, post-process cycle to maximize benefits like information, knowledge, resources, and spreading information.
This document summarizes a lecture on strategic networking for entrepreneurs. It discusses how networking is important for venture success and accessing information, knowledge, resources, and opportunities through relationships. It recommends meeting a few people at events to learn about their needs rather than just collecting business cards. The document outlines a strategic networking framework that involves analyzing needs and current relationships, planning a relationship portfolio, and implementing a networking process with preparation, interaction, and follow-up. The overall message is that entrepreneurs should take a strategic approach to networking to align their relationships with their goals.
Strategic management involves four key components: environmental scanning, strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and evaluation and control. The process begins with assessing internal and external factors, then formulating objectives and strategies. Implementation involves developing programs, budgets, and procedures. Finally, performance is monitored and strategies are adapted based on evaluation. The overall process aims to determine the organization's long-term path and manage change.
Open Source and Open Innovation - Dr. Sabine Brunswicker - Red Hat Summit 2016Purdue RCODI
From Open Source Towards Open Innovation: Fostering Corporate Innovation with Open Source Software (OSS) Communities presented by Dr. Sabine Brunswicker.
Dr. Sabine Brunswicker presented the latest work on how firms and individuals collaborate in an open source software community in the Red Hat Summit 2016. In particular, she highlighted how firms, whether they are OSS vendors or OSS uses, and also the individual developer, can support each other in order to successfully integrating new features in the software. Red Hat Summit is the premier open source technology event to showcase the latest and greatest in cloud computing, platform, virtualization, middleware, storage, and systems management technologies.
Open source software (OSS) is booming. Working the OSS way has become the new standard of software development. This trend has also changed the nature of OSS communities. While originally the domain of hobbyists and hackers, OSS communities are now attracting the participation of firms, both small and large ones. Indeed, OSS communities offer firms the opportunities to engage in what experts call ‘open innovation’. They open up to OSS communities and participate in OSS communities in order to create direct and indirect corporate innovation benefits. This presentation will focus on open innovation for new ‘industrial’ OSS communities, which bring together OSS vendors, OSS customers, as well as independent developers. One of the prominent examples of these new OSS communities is the OpenStack community in the area of cloud computing. These communities create unique opportunities not only for vendor but also for OSS customers to actively shape the agenda of the development activities and also implement this agenda. At the same time, these communities also expose firms to new management challenges given the size and diversity of the actors involved. In my talk I will provide very recent insights gained from a big data analysis focused on the ‘inner working mechanism’ of the OpenStack community. A deep dive into the contribution behavior of different vendors and OSS customers suggest that firms need to align their open innovation strategy with their idiosyncratic innovation interest, the development capabilities of their own employees, and their role in the community. For example, firms that seek to drive more radical changes in the OSS software should behave differently than those firms that are more focused on immediate quality improvements. In sum, the presentation will give those firms, which already participate in new ‘industrial’ OSS communities, as well as those ones, that only use OSS products, practical guidelines in how to use open innovation for the new ‘breed’ of OSS communities. Concrete examples will depict what kinds of features contributors suggested and how OSS vendors, OSS customers and independent developers collaborate in implementing those features.

This paper is intended as an opening of a dialog on how to apply platform thinking in the development of innovation environments. It will briefly describe a new STP (Science and Technology Park) concept called 3GSP (Third Generation Science Park), which is gaining momentum in Finland. The paper explains the fundamental changes that are currently taking place in the global innovation environment and explains why platform thinking is becoming an essential element in ecosystem development. The theoretical background and classifications of platforms are described and the benefits to be gained from STP perspective are highlighted. The paper emphasizes especially the role of so called ‘competence platforms’ and explains the main characteristics of a fully
working competence platform. The role of competence platforms in understanding serendipity and as a fundamental factor in building the team is also highlighted. The paper analyses from STP perspective several practical examples, where platform thinking supports the emergence of new innovation environments, including Urban Mill (Finland) and Meetberlage (Netherlands). The requirements for comprehensive competence platform services are
presented and their potential to support community building and therefore ecosystem development is illustrated. This analysis will provide STP practitioners with new models for applying platform thinking and will help to establish co-creation, open innovation and serendipity management practices.
The case studies presented will help STP management teams to evaluate the benefits of competence platforms in different contexts.

Fraunhofer and SINTEF jointed Industrial Data Space Association in early 2016. Industrial Data Space stands for safer data exchange between companies where the producer of data remains the owner of the data and maintains sovereignty over the use of that data.
IDS Association aims to define the conditions and governance for a reference architecture and interfaces aiming at international standards.
This standard is actively developed and updated on the basis of use cases. It forms the basis for a number of certified software solutions and business models, the development of which is fostered by the association.
Thorsten Huelsmann and Ernst H. Kristiansen talked on this topic during the German-Norwegian Dialogue on Bilateral and
European Cooperation , September 29 2016 at Berlin.
The presentation aims to emphasize the need for more applications and prototypes in the area of the Semantic Web that will showcase the various research findings and technologies.
The document summarizes a survey on hybrid software development approaches. It finds that most combinations follow a pattern where a traditional process model serves as a framework and agile practices are plugged in. It also finds that hybrid approaches are independent of company size and external triggers. The survey received responses from 69 participants and identified five major combination patterns. It concludes that hybrid approaches have become mainstream and are the result of natural process evolution driven by experience, learning, and pragmatism.
Ilkka Kakko & Kari Mikkelä: ”Platform Thinking within the Third Generation Sc...Kari Mikkelä
ABSTRACT
This paper will describe shortly a new STP concept called 3GSP (Third Generation Science Park), which is gaining momentum in Finland. It explains the fundamental changes in the global innovation environment and explains why the platform thinking is becoming an essential element in ecosystem development. The theoretical background and classifications of platforms are described and the benefits from the STP perspective highlighted. The paper emphasizes especially the role of so called ‘competence platforms’ and explains the main characteristics of a fully working competence platform. The role of competence platforms in understanding serendipity and as a fundamental factor in the team building is highlighted.
The paper analyses from STP perspective several practical elements, where platform thinking supports the emergence of new innovation environments, including Urban Mill (Finland) and Meetberlage (Netherlands). The requirements for comprehensive competence platform services are presented and their potential to support community building and therefore ecosystem development is illustrated.
This analysis will give the STP practitioners new models of applying the quadruple helix-principles and help in the co-creation, open innovation and serendipity management practises. The case studies, which are presented in the paper, will help the STP management teams to evaluate the benefits of platform thinking in different contexts.

The document discusses collaborative environments and intellectual property rights (IPR) management through the experience of the Leaning Lab. The Leaning Lab is a collaborative environment that brings together researchers, companies, and individuals to solve problems and develop new ideas and products. It provides services like problem solving, product development, and tools and methods. A key challenge addressed is how to properly track contributions to ideas generated in collaborative environments and assign IPR in a way that is objective, transparent and protects participants. The document outlines the Leaning Lab's IPR tracking system which aims to weigh and value each participant's contribution.
This document discusses using a feedback systems approach to managing digital transformation. It presents a case study of Uber's digital transformation strategy, modeled as reinforcing and balancing feedback loops. Key challenges for organizations undergoing digital transformation are developing strategies with incomplete data, linking investments to outcomes, and establishing shared understandings. The feedback systems approach addresses these by adopting a holistic, systems thinking perspective using tools like causal loop diagrams. Lessons include shifting from process optimization to stakeholder engagement and focusing on ecosystem value creation.
Bring CSR activities to another level - HACKATHONSChallengeRocket
ChallengeRocket recently released the ebook focused on connecting hackathons (programming events) with sustainable development (CSR) for organizations active in all sectors. Case studies in publication show how innovative and socially responsible may be companies if they open the door for stakeholders to engage them in joint creation of ideas and solutions. Hackathon as a form of gaining unconventional ideas and reaching out to talented professionals is an important part of the modern corporate social responsibility strategy.
Content Partner of our ebook is Responsible Business Forum and Honorary Patronage - UN Information Center in Warsaw.
The document provides a feasibility study for a proposed Connected Products Studio (CPS) in London. It analyzes the current landscape of connected products startups and resources available. Through stakeholder interviews, the top pain points for startups were identified as connecting hardware and software, developing proof of concepts due to lack of expertise, and conducting user research. The report recommends the CPS provide resources like a connected technologies library, expertise through workshops and a pilot program, and opportunities for startups to connect with potential customers and vendors through showcases and networking. If successful, the CPS could help accelerate the development of startups in the connected products field in the UK.
Crowdsourcing as a problem solving strategyMiia Kosonen
This document summarizes a paper that was presented at a conference in Helsinki, Finland in June 2013. The paper identifies 10 practices for hosting organizations to facilitate problem solving through crowdsourcing.

This document analyzes economic trends in Mongolia from 2010-2019 using GDP, employment, and average wage data from the country's National Statistical Organization. It finds that while livestock and retail industries remain important, employment is shifting to construction, finance, and processing. Average wages have grown the most in construction, ICT, and processing industries, with mining wages being twice as high. The document also examines regional economic specialization through a location quotient analysis for 2009 and 2019, finding that specialization has remained steady in mining areas but declined elsewhere, such as in Darkhan. This decline may be partly due to internal migration driving urbanization toward Ulaanbaatar and a lack of developed regional supply chains.
Cambodia's economic growth path and competitivenessTCI Network
Cambodia experienced robust economic growth over the past two decades thanks to sound macroeconomic policies that attracted investment. However, total factor productivity has moderated and competitiveness has eroded as wages have risen. While investment continues to support growth, employment growth has slowed as the agriculture sector sheds jobs. The economy contracted in 2020 due to the pandemic but is projected to recover in 2021, though sustaining growth will require improving competitiveness through diversification.
Mr. Peang Ratana is a freelance researcher and lecturer who has taught at several universities in Cambodia. He discusses how digital tools like Google Forms, Microsoft Forms, Google Meet, Slido, Facebook Live, Telegram, and Messenger can be used for eLearning and distance education. These platforms allow for online surveys, interactive question and answer sessions, video conferencing, live streaming, and messaging. Kahoot is also mentioned as a game-based learning platform that brings engagement to online education.

16. Developing setting
Scientific, academic and business actors were involved in the
projects.
“The CRISP platform was already half way developed when the ISS
project was initiated. It was easy to see that the CRISP information
and the symptoms data was almost the same thing, we could plot it
out in the same system”. (ISS, RALF)
“In this project it is the academics that have created the problem that
they are trying to solve, and they have theories they wish to verify. If a
single business actor would steer the development they would have a
single practical problem that they wished to solve” (ISS).
17. Producing setting
“Not even in China is it safe to assume that it is feasible to include
manual data into a large scale system” (ISS)
“It would take a while to coordinate all these different data into an
application, and to communicate the benefit. Then you would need to
