One of the reasons is that innovation in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) occurs in a different way than in large companies. Small businesses face a resource challenge that differs from large companies. The ability to successfully manage the innovation process can be a particularly challenge for small businesses in high technology industries that need to innovate in order to survive. In the software industry, for example, research on innovation in small businesses tends to focus mainly on identifying resources (Romijn et al., 2002; Cho & Linderman, 2020; Harel et al., 2020), and seems to consider the process as a “black box” that ignores how the type, needs, and availability of resources arise throughout the innovation process (Pustovrh et al., 2017; McDowell et al., 2018). Interest in conceptualizing the innovation process has received attention by researchers from multiple disciplines such as technology management, engineering, and strategy. However, the focus tends to be on the process of new product development, with the majority of works focused on identifying organizational and strategic success factors (Dunne et al., 2016; Kim et al., 2018; Bailetti et al., 2020).","PeriodicalId":51569,"journal":{"name":"Technology Innovation Management Review","volume":"3 1","pages":"22-33"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138496183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given today’s competitive markets, businesses do not survive without exploiting new opportunities. Opportunity identification is a continuous process in ecosystems. However, ambiguities and challenges associated with knowledge exploration and exploitation can retard opportunity recognition processes. This in turn may culminate in excessive expenditure of resources or loss of latent opportunities. The present study adopts an analytical approach and proposes a methodological roadmap that utilizes scientometric and text mining techniques. The roadmap uses data from Web of Science as input, and generates insights that support decision-making about resource saving, strategic planning, investment, and policymaking. Our roadmap extends methods used in studying ecosystems by combining existing and novel techniques in data analytics. Using Python and VOSViewer, we show an exemplary application of the new roadmap, framed in the context of the Nordic countries’ renewable energy ecosystem.

The purpose of not-for-profit research centers, as the name suggests, is different from that of for-profit companies. Companies target profit generation and thus innovation gets motivated by an expectation to increase sales and revenues. Not-for-profit research centers, on the other hand, are typically funded by public state budgets. They have a mission to advance knowledge, train researchers, and explore areas that may not be profitable in the short or even medium-term.
