Innovation environments are places where open innovation and technology are boosted. The purpose of this paper is to present the evolution of innovation and technology environments through the most covered topics in the scientific literature. In this sense, technology transfer has been the subject of research since 1975; however, in the period from 2006–2021, the focus shifted to innovation. It was possible to observe an exponential growth of the term, “innovation”, but it is no longer the central theme and is linked to different terms related to different ways of innovating, characterizing open innovation variables. In this article, 4650 academic studies involving innovation environments were reviewed. The analysis identified the nomenclatures that characterized innovation environments and the particularities of these environments. The contributions, such as which countries developed more research in this area, and the analysis of which environments were more common in these countries were also presented. Additionally, some methodological and theoretical gaps in the current research were identified, providing pathways to support future research and practices seeking a better understanding and development of innovation environments. This article can also serve as a basis for a consultation for members of the quadruple helix, who wish to install or create environments for innovation and attract companies or investments to develop any open innovation activity.

With the development of a financial theory of the firm, the concept of Shareholder Value Generation has developed and consolidated. This concept advocates that the main purpose of the firm is to maximize shareholder´s wealth, and its consequences lead to a process of strategy financialization in which business strategies are impacted by such financial rationality. The goal of this paper is to carry out bibliometric research to explore the field of Strategy Financialization, producing an initial overview of the scientific production in the area, to support future research in the field. The results indicate that (1) there is a significant amount of scientific literature on the subject that has not been published under the label of financialization ; (2) although the financialization process has its roots in previous economic theory , the study of Strategy Financialization is relatively recent ; (3) the issue of Shareholder Value Creation seems to be the central theme in research related to Strategy Financialization; (4) research in the area seems to be quite scattered, once that it has not identified an author or group of authors, that are extremely significant in the area and (5) the main publication vehicles are also dispersed, including not only typical finance and strategy journal, but also marketing journals.

This chapter discusses how cultural variables can be taken into account when designing computer-based learning environments (CLEs). Its purpose is to identify concrete recommendations to guide instructional engineering of computer-based learning for diverse cultures through a review of the literature on the subject. First, this chapter describes the background in which such recommendations have emerged, and identifies some of the issues underlying instructional design for diverse cultures. Then it introduces models and guidelines on how cultural variables can be taken into account when designing CLEs. Specific recommendations are organized using a method of instructional engineering for CLEs called MISA (Paquette, 2003) as a frame of reference. This is followed by a discussion on future trends and future research directions.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to question whether the emphasis placed within translational research on a linear model of innovation provides the most effective model for managing health technology innovation. Several alternative perspectives are presented that have potential to enhance the existing model of translational research. A case study is presented of innovation of a clinical decision support system. The paper concludes from the case study that an extending the triple helix model of technology transfer, to one based on a quadruple helix, present a basis for improving the performance translational research. Design/methodology/approach – A case study approach is used to help understand development of an innovative technology within a teaching hospital. The case is then used to develop and refine a model of the health technology innovation system. Findings – The paper concludes from the case study that existing models of translational research could be refined further through the development of a quadruple helix model of heath technology innovation that encompasses greater emphasis on user-led and open innovation perspectives. Research limitations/implications – The paper presents several implications for future research based on the need to enhance the model of health technology innovation used to guide policy and practice. Practical implications – The quadruple helix model of innovation that is proposed can potentially guide alterations to the existing model of translational research in the healthcare sector. Several suggestions are made for how innovation activity can be better supported at both a policy and operational level. Originality/value – This paper presents a synthesis of the innovation literature applied to a theoretically important case of open innovation in the UK National Health Service. It draws in perspectives from other industrial sectors and applies them specifically to the management and organisation of innovation activities around health technology and the services in which they are embedded.

Evidence-based research, tend to encourage the development and / or use of the results found, in the clinical practice. The amount and complexity of information in health, requires the production of literature review methods, such as integrative review, which provide a support in the form of synthesis. The aim of this study was to analyze the scientific literature available on midwifery in SciELO database from 2010 to 2015. It presents general concepts and stages of development of the integrative review, as well as relevant aspects of the applicability of this method for research in nursing and health in general. The integrative review is a research method that allows a systematic search, critical assessment and the promotion of a synthesis of the available evidence on the subject investigated.The publications reviewed here, have shown how it is relevant to clinical practice, the participation of nursing in all stages of the gestational cycle, including childbirth and the postpartum period. Also provided to identify gaps that that will direct the development of future research, such as those relating to liability issues of the nursing area hardly contemplated in studies of care in obstetrics.  Keywords: Research. obstetric nursing. Health.

Abstract Issues of innovation and technology transfer are framed by a broad legislation and financial schemes at the European and national level. In context of the strategy Europe 2020 and the initiative Innovation Union, the mutual interconnection between the new knowledge creation and its economic valuation is important for competitiveness of the economy. Innovation systems are characterized by a large scale of different actors and dynamic interactions between them. The intensity of the innovation activity of enterprises is mostly influenced by the level of their legal awareness and by the ability to utilize the innovation mechanisms and opportunities for transfer of knowledge, modern technologies and practices. The paper characterizes selected legal and financial mechanisms and points out the possibilities and problems related to their implementation in economic sphere, particularly in the agrifood sector. At the beginning, the authors describe the key aspects of the innovation policy and technology transfer in the EU and Slovakia. Next parts of the paper are focused on the issue of legal institutes concerning the industrial property and on the financial instruments for the period 2014-2020 emphasizing the innovative ones and possibilities of their combination. In the final part, the authors point out the barriers and possibilities in innovation implementation and in the process of transfer of technologies and knowledge to economic sphere.

The concept of open innovation was first introduced in 2003 by Henry Chesbrough. Research on this topic has been pursued, observing the subject from different angles and integrating it into different scientific fields. However, the “human side” of open innovation is still understudied; hence, there is a need to link open innovation with HRM. The aim of this paper is then to find out what has already been done in this field (the contributions of the various studies undertaken) and what remains to be achieved (perspectives for future research). To do this, a structured literature review on the subject was conducted.

The article deals with the formation of effective interaction in the process of technology transfer. The subject of the study was the trends in the formation of the digital space of the transfer of knowledge and technology in Ukraine. The development of the transfer of knowledge and technology is based on the progress and formation of a digital society and the intensification of the processes of the formation of the information economy. The transfer of knowledge and technology is defined as the interaction of all participants of innovative processes to receive, transfer and exchange information, which is further implemented into the final innovative product. The peculiarity of the modern stage of the transfer of knowledge and technology is determined by openness, acceleration of information transfer, increasing the availability of knowledge. The analysis of innovation activity of Ukrainian enterprises demonstrated that the share of innovatively active enterprises in the country is insignificant. The main areas of innovation where the share of innovative enterprises in the country is the largest are the production of chemicals and chemical products, the production of computers, electronic and optical goods, as well as the extraction of crude oil and natural gas and metal ores. The increase of innovative activity of Ukrainian enterprises requires attracting a greater share of them to technology transfer processes. The transfer of knowledge and technology is an integral part of the open innovation model that the main idea is free access to knowledge, its openness and active movement of scientific developments and innovative technologies. The transfer of knowledge and technology as a component of the open innovation model involves the inclusion of a wide range of participants, including enterprises, research centers and institutions, representatives of venture capital, academic science and the state. In the digital space, the construction of interaction among the participants of the process of transfer of knowledge and technology takes place on the basis of the active usage of the capabilities of cloud technologies, network associations that makes it possible to create an effective transfer mechanism, speed up the process of knowledge exchange, increase the availability of knowledge.
