The Role of Informal Institutions for Institutional Co-evolutionCamilla Chlebna
The document outlines the structure and theoretical background of a research project examining the role of informal institutions in enabling the co-evolution of new technologies and formal institutions. It presents three hypotheses: 1) Institutions need to co-evolve to enable new technologies to enter markets, 2) Informal institutions influence how well institutions co-evolve, and 3) New technologies initially rely on protected spaces created by institutional frameworks to develop. Preliminary findings suggest differences between Germany and the UK in civil society values/norms around energy, the economic focus of each country, and how these impacted wind industry development.
This document summarizes the key points from a presentation by Dipak K. Roy at the ECCSSA Conference 2013. It discusses several challenges facing the global economy, including the rise of China, economic instability, resource depletion, and demographic shifts. It also examines issues in the US economy like slowing productivity and job growth concentrated in less productive service sectors. The document advocates for reforms in higher education, including addressing deficiencies in standards and curriculum, improving accountability, and making the introductory curriculum more quantitative. It highlights the importance of leadership focused on principles rather than politics to drive meaningful and lasting change.

This document provides an overview and recap of two lectures on evolutionary economic geography and resilience thinking. It discusses key concepts from the lectures including path dependence, path creation, types of green path development, and how resilience relates to evolutionary economic geography. Path creation emphasizes the deliberate role of entrepreneurs and institutions in shaping new economic paths, rather than viewing paths as purely random. Resilience thinking examines how systems manage disturbances and focuses on the capacity of regions to adapt, reconfigure, and develop new growth paths in response to changes.
This document provides information about the upcoming 32nd annual conference of the Association of Researchers in Construction Management (ARCOM) that will take place in Manchester, UK in 2016. The conference theme is "Construction Work and the Worker?" and will explore how technological and social changes have transformed construction work and workers. It lists important conference dates and calls for papers on this theme or related topics like project management, health and safety, sustainability, and more. Papers will be peer-reviewed and presented at the conference, with proceedings published afterwards. The document also describes 9 thematic tracks for submissions in more specialized areas like BIM, organizational studies, extreme weather, and sustainable construction.

The document outlines the objectives and structure of a PhD research project examining the role of informal institutions in the development of the wind energy industry in Germany and Britain. The research will use a conceptual framework to analyze qualitative interviews and quantitative data on how informal institutions facilitated or inhibited technological development over time in each country. The analysis aims to explain why the wind industry developed more rapidly in Germany, where a shift in informal attitudes supported new policies, versus Britain where different informal values hindered policy changes and industry growth.

The document discusses innovation governance and three models: hierarchy/bureaucracy, new public management/market, and networks. It outlines the objectives and trends in innovation policy in Europe, including a shift from government to multi-level governance involving local, regional, national and supranational authorities working in networks. The case of electronic health records in the Netherlands is used to illustrate issues in governing healthcare innovation across different levels.

The document discusses the factors that have contributed to the recent rise in popularity of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) in British politics. It examines the existing literature on UKIP, which largely attributes the party's success to disenfranchised working-class voters, but argues this only provides a partial explanation. The document proposes that a full understanding requires analyzing the convergence of the major parties around the political center, as well as the impact of contemporary political events, using theories of party competition and populism.
This document presents a study on innovation cooperation in East and West German regions after reunification. The study develops an indicator called Relative Regional Impact (RRI) to measure the degree to which regional factors impact innovation cooperation in a region, beyond what would be expected based on the region's technology profile. Applying this indicator to German patent data, the study finds that East German regions have experienced a dynamic development of innovation cooperation since reunification, and that their cooperation intensity remains higher than in West German regions even after controlling for technological characteristics. The study aims to provide new insights into the emergence of innovation cooperation across German regions in the decades following the fall of the Berlin Wall.

An Agenda For Sustainability Transitions Research State Of The Art And Futur...Emma Burke
This document provides an extensive review and updated research agenda for sustainability transitions research. It is divided into nine themes: 1) understanding transitions, 2) power and politics, 3) governing transitions, 4) civil society and social movements, 5) businesses and industries, 6) transitions in practice, 7) geography of transitions, 8) ethical aspects, and 9) methodologies. The field has expanded rapidly in recent years and now aims to better understand the complex multi-dimensional processes and social actors involved in transitions through an interdisciplinary lens. Open questions remain around accelerating sustainability transitions to address ongoing environmental challenges.

Technology transfer in a global economy

Published online: 6 December 2012
! Springer Science+Business Media New York 2012
Abstract The emergence of new technologies is acting both as a driving force and an
enabling factor to globalization. At the same time, these technologies are changing rapidly,
shortening the life cycles of products and the underlying processes, and raising technology
costs. Technology transfer from academic and scientific institutions has thus transformed
into a strategic variable for companies and nations to cope with these challenges in a global
economy. This article introduces the rationale for the special issue on the role of tech-
nology transfer in a global economy. The paper summarizes the main topics and themes
covered by a selection of papers and keynotes presented at the annual conference of the
Technology Transfer Society in 2011, as well as providing some pointers towards a future
research agenda.

1 Introduction
Recent decades are often characterized as the era of globalization—never before has such a
web of linkages and interconnections existed, including a worldwide system of production,
distribution, new structures and relationships (Acs and Preston 1997). Globalization
stimulates competition worldwide, forcing government to adopt market-oriented policies,
both domestically and internationally. Competition pressures producers to continually
innovate, improve quality and cost effectiveness of existing products. At the same time,
firms can no longer acquire nor afford all the technological and human resources they need.
This inhibits their ability to foster flexible relationships with other firms, and most
importantly, institutions, like universities. The result has been an increasing trend of
research over the last 25 years involving technology and knowledge transfers from
academic institutions to private industry (see e.g. Siegel and Wright 2013 for a review).

The document discusses the UK construction industry and whether it is traditionally adversarial. It provides background on the size and importance of the construction industry to the UK economy. It reviews literature that argues the industry is adversarial, with contractors undermining each other to gain benefits, creating a hostile environment. However, other sources propose collaborative working where all parties work towards shared goals, which could decrease adversarial behaviors. The document aims to clarify what adversarial means in this context, why the industry is seen as adversarial, and if perspectives have changed over time through various reports recommending improvements like collaborative working.

Minshall for manufacturing leaders' summit 2019Tim Minshall
Tim Minshall is the Head of the Institute for Manufacturing at the University of Cambridge. The document discusses how the manufacturing context is changing rapidly due to factors like new technologies and policies. It identifies opportunities for manufacturing like new jobs from technologies like robotics and additive manufacturing, but also barriers to adoption like skills shortages and costs. The document emphasizes the need to "join the dots" between different areas like skills, innovation, and policies to help manufacturing adapt to changes and maximize opportunities.
The document discusses three levels of innovation - high level (breakthrough discoveries), mid level (implementation of discoveries), and ground level (context-specific innovations to commercialize products). It argues that while high level innovations are important, sustained prosperity relies on innovations at all levels working together over many years in a complex system. As an example, it outlines the multi-decade process by which the transistor was developed from an initial discovery into a ubiquitous technology through innovations at multiple levels. It concludes that policies should focus on sustaining innovation broadly rather than favoring any particular level or form.
The document discusses how technological revolutions drive periods of major development and change in society every few decades. Each revolution establishes a new "techno-economic paradigm" that transforms the economy and ways of living. Modernizing government is crucial to fully deploying new technologies for growth and social progress during periods of installation and deployment. The current paradigm centered around ICT brings challenges like globalization that require redesigning government to function as a flexible, networked organization.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.

5. CASES & METHODOLOGY
Main Fieldwork
36 semi-structured expert interviews in 2015
•4 pilot interviews with academics
•32 interviews in main fieldwork
•18 German, 18 British
•26 face to face, 10 phone
Used both as signposts and as immediate evidence
+ descriptive, secondary data drawn in to ‘thicken the plot’
Fieldwork Research Questions
Who tried to shape formal institutions over the years?
What motivated them?
Were they successful?
Why? Why not?
What are the interactions with and between institutions?

6. FINDINGS
Key Informal Institution Reasons for prevalence of
informal institutions
Close association between ‘history’ and
‘anti-nuclear attitude’
>> Britain first country to use nuclear
power for civil purpose vs Germany
promised not to attempt to build
nuclear bomb after World War II
Close association of ‘anti-nuclear’ with
‘elitism’
“And this creates momentum. I know a lot of people, who,
with this attitude [against nuclear power] invested in wind
power, independent of whether they are going to become
rich or not.” (interviewee G15)
‘Anti-nuclear attitude’ was referred to
by 25 out of 36 interviewees and by
100% of German interviewees
“The anti-wind body became run by a chap […] who had
until recently been Thatcher’s press secretary. So all
the time we were issuing positive government statements
[…] - being positive about wind - he was briefing the
editors of the newspapers to be negative about it.”
(interviewee B8)(EVS, 2015)
(Childs, 2001; Taylor, 2016)
7. FINDINGS
Agents evaluate and may change
formal institutional arrangements
Agents in Germany appeared to be better
able to overcome restrictions and change
institutional arrangements where necessary
Development paths diverge
Institutional change more talked about
for Germany than for Britain
German support:
State & regional funding for large
scale projects and some small scale
Electricity Feed-In Law in 1990
Renewable Energy Law in 2002
British support:
National funding for large scale
projects
1% of Non Fossil Fuel Obligation from
1991
Renewables Obligation from 2000
„The most impactful individuals were the band of 4 from
parliament, the four parliamentarians Hermann Scheer
(SPD), Hans-Josef Fell (Green), Michele Hustedt
(Green), and Dietmar Schütz (SPD). […] These were
the ones that formed the backbone.” (interviewee G13)
Change vs hysteresis BRITAIN GERMANY
1 : Institutional Change 52.68% 47.32%
2 : Institutional hysteresis 89.63% 10.37%
(ISSP, 1986; ISSP, 1992; ISSP, 1999; ISSP, 2008)
8. FINDINGS
Institutional Co-evolution
because of strength of informal
institution in Germany
Anti-nuclear sentiment increasingly fed
into politics and government, eventually
support mechanism got developed in
1990 and updated in 2000
>> key reason for the development of
the industry
Agreements held beyond change of
parties in power
>> significant resources poured into
both technological research and
research on impact of conventional vs
renewable energy sources
Institutional Hysteresis because
informal institutions hinder co-
evolution in Britain
Government ideologically opposed to
supporting fledgling manufacturing
industry
>> lack of industrial strategy
Interest in short term profits over longer
term industrial development
“Margaret Thatcher had very little interest in Renewable
Energy. The focus of government at that time was moving
towards the financial services sector. […] Britain gave
very little industrial support money.” (interviewee B8)
(eurostat, 2016)
(Rave & Richter, 2008; Glaessner, 2005)
(Toke & Lauber, 2007)
9. >> Varied SME dominated industry in Germany vs
industry dominated by large, often foreign ruled
companies in Britain
CONCLUSIONS
Germany
Rejection of nuclear power influenced
behaviour across society leading to
institutional co-evolution
•Motivated inventors and (independent)
investors
•Drove citizens to put pressure on
policymakers
•Triggered politicians to implement
change (i.e. become institutional
entrepreneurs)
•Consumer pressure but also change
in management led to changes of
business strategies
•Shift of institutional constellation leads
to challenge of established power
structures in electricity industry
Britain
No comparable strength of sentiment,
instead elitism and neoliberal ideology
hindered institutional co-evolution
•Inventors/entrepreneurs focused on
profit or lacking independent funding
•Citizens at best ambiguous at worst
campaigning against wind energy
•No ‘champions’ for this industry
amongst policymakers
•Only lukewarm institutional support
therefore lack of new entrants to
challenge incumbents
•Electricity industry allowed to evolve in
a path-dependent way
