In recent years, the 'Grand Challenges' idea has become widely used in research and innovation policy around the world, shifting the focus to tackling global societal problems in areas such as energy, health and environment through boundary spanning collaborations. This paper traces origins and global diffusion of the concept and analyses it in the context of long-term development of science, technology and innovation policy. It argues that the content and organisational dimensions of the Grand Challenges concept represent both continuity and change in research and innovation policy: although the concept draws on traditional and more recent ideas about the social function of science and collaborations among heterogeneous actors, its focus on tackling large-scale global societal problems is novel. Scientific leaders and the private sector have played an important role in the emergence and diffusion of the concept, which was afterwards taken up by international organisations, national governments and research organisations.
近年来,“大挑战”理念在世界各地的研究和创新政策中得到广泛应用,通过跨界合作将重点转移到解决能源、健康和环境等领域的全球社会问题上。本文追溯了这一概念的起源和全球传播,并在科技和创新政策长期发展的背景下进行了分析。它认为,“大挑战”概念的内容和组织维度代表了研究和创新政策的连续性和变化:尽管这个概念借鉴了关于科学的社会功能和异质参与者之间的合作的传统和最近的想法,但它对解决大规模全球社会问题的关注是新颖的。科学领袖和私营部门在这一概念的出现和传播中发挥了重要作用,后来被国际组织、国家政府和研究机构所接受。

Applying actor network theory and pragmatist thinking to the process of implementing scenarios 将行动者网络理论和实用主义思维应用于场景实施过程
Q3 Business, Management and Accounting Pub Date : 2016-01-28 DOI: 10.1504/IJFIP.2015.074392

This article considers the potential for actor network theory (ANT) to cast new light on scenarios, and how they can make change happen when they are implemented. The goal is to challenge the current dominance of cognitive Intuitive Logic theories, which we find variously wanting. ANT is applied in a hypothetical hierarchical situation composed of two central actors, the dominant planning network and the network to be planned. Their collision generates four hypothetical scenario outputs, only one of which is officially sanctioned, two which might cause instability or turn on the makers and one which needs the support that only ANT can provide. Our tracing of scenario moves needs, though, other pragmatist theory beyond ANT, as well as theories of objects' affect, if a more satisfactory theory of scenario implementation is to be forged.
本文考虑了行动者网络理论(ANT)在场景方面的潜力,以及它们在实现时如何使变化发生。我们的目标是挑战目前认知直觉逻辑理论的主导地位,我们发现这些理论存在各种不足。ANT应用于一个假设的分层情境,该情境由两个中心参与者组成,即主导规划网络和待规划网络。它们的碰撞产生了四种假设的场景输出,其中只有一种是官方批准的,两种可能导致不稳定或转向制造商,另一种需要只有ANT才能提供的支持。然而,如果要建立一个更令人满意的场景实现理论,我们对场景的追踪需要ANT之外的其他实用主义理论,以及对象影响理论。

Creating scenarios or creating and sustaining social worlds? Towards new sociological understandings of the use and impacts of scenario planning 创造场景还是创造和维持社交世界?对情景规划的使用和影响的新的社会学理解

Many management scholars and some practitioners argue that scenario planning remains under-theorised, that it has a weak evidence base, and that, in practice, it is often too reactive. Responding to these critiques, we contribute to the development of sociologically informed scenario practices, which are more proactive (or 'transformative'). The paper is grounded in an examination of scenario practices at CSIRO (Australia's national science organisation), focused on the Future Fuels Forum, and a theory of social fields. The case illustrates that both convening a scenario exercise and the construction and/or use of scenarios can be forms of context-specific strategic action, often aimed at inducing cooperation as part of a skilled social action. It also illustrates that the impacts of scenario exercises are influenced by the fluidity of the situation and associated field-level processes; the social skill of actors and their ability to construct and use scenarios in ways that help to solve related problems; and the outcomes of political processes. We also identify key implications for practice.
许多管理学者和一些实践者认为,情景规划的理论化程度仍然很低,它的证据基础薄弱,而且在实践中,它往往过于被动。针对这些批评,我们致力于发展更具前瞻性(或“变革性”)的社会学知情情景实践。这篇论文的基础是对CSIRO(澳大利亚国家科学组织)的情景实践的研究,重点是未来燃料论坛,以及社会领域的理论。该案例表明,召集情景练习和构建和/或使用情景都可以成为特定情境战略行动的形式,通常旨在诱导合作,作为熟练社会行动的一部分。它还表明,情景演习的影响受到局势流动性和相关外地一级进程的影响;演员的社交技能,以及他们构建和使用场景以帮助解决相关问题的能力;以及政治进程的结果。我们还确定了实践的关键含义。

The concept of social entrepreneurship is increasingly attracting interest as an area of academic scrutiny. Despite this development there is very little scholarly attention given to the way social enterprises plan and develop strategies to address challenges posed by changes in the environment in which they operate. Drawing on a qualitative case study of two enterprises, this study explores the role of scenario planning in the social enterprise sector. The result shows that this strategic management planning technique, traditionally associated with large capitalised commercial enterprises, is becoming a key component of the practice of social enterprises in South Yorkshire.
社会创业的概念作为一个学术研究领域正日益引起人们的兴趣。尽管有这样的发展,但学术界很少关注社会企业如何规划和制定战略,以应对其经营环境变化所带来的挑战。本研究以两家企业的定性个案研究为基础,探讨情景规划在社会企业部门的作用。结果表明,这种战略管理规划技术,传统上与大型资本化商业企业有关,正在成为南约克郡社会企业实践的关键组成部分。

This study empirically examines the impact of 'first-order' foresight capabilities on small and medium enterprise (SME) product/service adaptiveness (PSA). It further tests the moderating effect of environment dynamism (IND) on the associations between these first-order foresight capabilities and SME PSA. The results of the study have endorsed that foresight capabilities, specifically, environmental scanning, developing network ties, analysing, industry dynamics, and planning and visioning all have high level of direct impact on SMEs ability to strategically adapt their products or services to the market and customer needs. However, the results find no support for the interaction effect of industry dynamics on these associations. These findings contribute to the foresight and capabilities literature. Research and practical implications are discussed.
本研究实证检验了“一阶”预见能力对中小企业产品/服务适应性(PSA)的影响。进一步检验了环境动态性对一阶预见能力与中小企业PSA之间关系的调节作用。研究结果表明,预见能力,特别是环境扫描、发展网络关系、分析、行业动态、规划和展望,都对中小企业战略性地调整产品或服务以适应市场和客户需求的能力有很大的直接影响。然而,研究结果没有发现行业动态对这些关联的相互作用效应。这些发现有助于前瞻性和能力的文献。讨论了研究和实际意义。

Technology and market roadmapping are well-established instruments for companies' research and innovation planning. Recent advances in the literature have developed approaches to integrate technology and market roadmaps to allow a more comprehensive understanding of technology development. Inspired by the companies' widespread implementation of integrated roadmaps, public authorities have recently begun to adopt this tool for identifying science, technology and innovation priorities nationally. Making public investment in science, technology and innovation a priority is essential as countries must often make strategic choices about where to invest due to limited public resources. Accordingly, a thorough analysis of potential fields is required which provides a reasonable ratio of cost and expected value of the investment. The paper develops an integrated approach of roadmapping and scenario planning for public authorities' priority setting in science, technology and innovation. The methodology combines foresight, roadmapping and scenario planning in particular and then tests this methodology using a case study on priority setting in Russia.
技术和市场路线图是企业研究和创新规划的行之有效的工具。最近在文献上的进展已经发展了整合技术和市场路线图的方法,以便对技术发展有更全面的了解。受公司广泛实施综合路线图的启发,公共当局最近开始采用这一工具来确定国家的科学、技术和创新重点。将公共投资放在科学、技术和创新的优先位置至关重要,因为由于公共资源有限,各国往往必须就投资领域做出战略选择。因此,需要对潜在场进行深入的分析,以提供合理的成本与投资预期价值的比例。本文为公共当局在科学、技术和创新方面的优先事项设定开发了一种综合的道路绘制和情景规划方法。该方法特别结合了远见、道路规划和情景规划,然后通过对俄罗斯确定优先事项的案例研究来检验该方法。

In spite of a growing body of literature on business failures in China and the effects of government policy, our understanding of the current state of knowledge remains unclear. The study advances research on the subject by developing the 'four-parties' framework to review and synthesises the literature. The paper lays the groundwork for an integrated understanding of the causes and consequences of business failure. In sharp contrast with the evolution and development of western-based business failure research, much of the literature on China and the Chinese firms have focused largely on business failure prediction models by bypassing the traditional evolution from qualitative case study/story approaches to quantitative-based approaches. The study outlines the important implications and promising avenues for future research.
尽管关于中国商业失败和政府政策影响的文献越来越多,但我们对当前知识状况的理解仍不清楚。该研究通过开发“四方”框架来审查和综合文献,从而推进了对该主题的研究。本文为综合理解企业失败的原因和后果奠定了基础。与西方商业失败研究的演变和发展形成鲜明对比的是,许多关于中国和中国公司的文献主要集中在商业失败预测模型上,绕过了从定性案例研究/故事方法到基于定量方法的传统演变。该研究概述了未来研究的重要意义和有希望的途径。

Intellectual capital is changing into an important issue for a firm's long-term profit and performance within the knowledge-based economy as many firms determine their core competence as invisible assets instead of visible assets. In this article, we example the role of intellectual capital in terms of how it affects organisational strategy. Based on a sample of Portuguese firms from diverse industries (trading, service, finance, and technology), we examine the role of top manager's judgement on the role of intellectual capital on organisational strategy. The findings reveal that Portuguese managers do acknowledge the importance of intellectual capital and its components have a significant positive relationship with firms' organisational strategy. Future research suggestions and practical implications are discussed in the article, which stress the role of intellectual capital being one of the most important assets for a firm's strategy regardless of industry structure.
在知识经济条件下,随着许多企业将核心竞争力从有形资产确定为无形资产,智力资本正成为影响企业长期利润和绩效的重要因素。在这篇文章中,我们举例说明智力资本的作用是如何影响组织战略的。基于来自不同行业(贸易、服务、金融和技术)的葡萄牙公司样本,我们研究了高层管理者对智力资本在组织战略中的作用的判断。研究结果表明,葡萄牙管理者确实承认智力资本的重要性,其组成部分与公司的组织战略有显著的正相关关系。本文对未来的研究建议和实践意义进行了讨论,强调无论行业结构如何,智力资本都是企业战略中最重要的资产之一。

In this paper, we introduce a new approach of investigating social entrepreneurship, i.e. we identify the determinants of undertaking social entrepreneurial activities, by conducting empirical analysis in Europe. Using the global entrepreneurship monitor and adult population survey, we argue that (i) social entrepreneurial activities are affected by sociodemographic characteristics and (ii) innovation and social entrepreneurial activities are positively related. We apply appropriate estimation techniques such as probit model for dichotomous variable. Identifying factors which encourage social entrepreneurial activities, with special emphasis on European economies, might be of crucial importance for European policy makers who design programs related to fostering social entrepreneurship.
在本文中,我们介绍了一种调查社会企业家精神的新方法,即我们通过在欧洲进行实证分析来确定开展社会企业家活动的决定因素。利用全球创业监测和成人人口调查,我们认为:(1)社会创业活动受到社会人口学特征的影响;(2)创新与社会创业活动呈正相关。我们采用适当的估计技术,如probit模型对二分类变量进行估计。确定鼓励社会创业活动的因素,特别强调欧洲经济,对于设计与促进社会创业有关的计划的欧洲政策制定者来说可能至关重要。
