Exploring the Utility of a Multi-level Collaboration Modeling Framework
Berendsen, Gerard ; Beckett, Ronald
2013, Part of book or chapter of book (, pp. 51-62)There are current pressures to seek innovative solutions to problems associated with environmental sustainability, and in this context, it is likely that SMEs will have to collaborate with a wider variety of specialist partners. In 2009 three Dutch Universities joined with an Australian and Swedish University to compare their experience in this context, and planned a research project to address potential barriers and opportunities. One of the project goals was to implement techniques to foster effective collaboration in joint innovation projects. In this paper we consider a particular reference modeling framework (ARCON) as a candidate tool to both plan projects and identify some emergent issues. Some observations about the utility of the framework and supplementary matters of agency and participant experience are made.
Stimulating learning and innovation to confront sustainability issues
Berendsen, Gerard ; Beckett, Ronald
2010, Article in monograph or in proceedings (Cinet 2010)Confronting environmental sustainability issues requires firms to both enhance traditional operational practices and introduce new, innovative ones. There are opportunities to enter emergent markets for products and services supporting the sustainability agenda. It is anticipated that these circumstances will more frequently involve innovative firms in collaborations with other organizations and stakeholders. In 2009 three Dutch, one Australian and one Swedish University conceived a project to work with about twenty industry partners to facilitate learning about collaborative environmental innovation practices that may be new to these partners. In this paper we consider a number of tools to be used in stimulating learning about such practices and embedding that learning in ongoing enterprise activities.
