Abstract

Collaborative innovation spaces (CIS) can bring together multiple actors to enhance creativity, collaboration and knowledge exchange, sometimes leading to innovation. In this paper, we suggest that CIS can be categorized into three broad types (internal to the firm, external and virtual) and that each type is related to innovation processes, knowledge-sourcing and geographic context in specific ways. Our results, based on an original firm-level survey, reveal that there is heterogeneity with respect to firm attributes and innovation activities associated with different types of CIS. In particular, whilst innovation is associated with the use of CIS in general, radical and technological innovations are more strongly associated with internal CIS, whereas smaller firms tend to use virtual CIS. External CIS, whilst not associated with technological innovation, are associated with high-tech firms. CIS use does not vary across geographic context. These results emphasize the importance of in-person, internal, CIS for radical and technological innovation and the need to distinguish between different types of CIS in order to understand how each is associated with different types of innovation, knowledge-sourcing and firm.

哪些类型的公司使用协作创新空间？

协同创新空间(CIS)可以将多个参与者聚集在一起，以增强创造力、协作和知识交流，有时会导致创新。在本文中，我们建议将CIS分为三大类(企业内部、外部和虚拟)，每种类型都以特定的方式与创新过程、知识来源和地理环境相关。我们的研究结果基于一项原始的企业层面调查，揭示了不同类型的CIS在企业属性和创新活动方面存在异质性。特别是，虽然创新通常与CIS的使用有关，但激进和技术创新与内部CIS的关系更为密切，而较小的公司则倾向于使用虚拟CIS。外部CIS虽然与技术创新无关，但与高科技企业有关。CIS的使用不会因地理环境而异。这些结果强调了个人、内部、CIS对于激进创新和技术创新的重要性，以及区分不同类型CIS的必要性，以便了解每种CIS如何与不同类型的创新、知识来源和企业相关联。

期刊介绍： Creativity and Innovation Management bridges the gap between the theory and practice of organizing imagination and innovation. The journal''s central consideration is how to challenge and facilitate creative potential, and how then to embed this into results-oriented innovative business development. The creativity of individuals, coupled with structured and well-managed innovation projects, creates a sound base from which organizations may operate effectively within their inter-organizational and societal environment. Today, successful operations must go hand in hand with the ability to anticipate future opportunities. Therefore, a cultural focus and inspiring leadership are as crucial to an organization''s success as efficient structural arrangements and support facilities. This is reflected in the journal''s contents: -Leadership for creativity and innovation; the behavioural side of innovation management. -Organizational structures and processes to support creativity and innovation; interconnecting creative and innovative processes. -Creativity, motivation, work environment/creative climate and organizational behaviour, creative and innovative entrepreneurship. -Deliberate development of creative and innovative skills including the use of a variety of tools such as TRIZ or CPS. -Creative professions and personalities; creative products; the relationship between creativity and humour; arts and amp; humanities side of creativity.
