Innovation Pays Off—Especially with University Partners

Using 2,986 Latin American firms from 2009–2017 (LAIS), I test whether university collaboration strengthens the link between innovation spending and innovation outcomes. Findings: First, spending is positively related to outcomes, and collaboration significantly amplifies that payoff, resulting in the same budget and more innovation with a university partner. Collaboration quality matters. Managerially: co-design projects, align on IP, invest in advanced skills, and “rent” academic capabilities to de-risk R&D.

What is social marketing?

Social marketing is an approach that leverages marketing techniques to encourage behaviors that have a positive impact on society. Unlike traditional marketing, which primarily aims to maximize sales, social marketing seeks to address issues such as public health, the environment, and human rights. It relies on a deep understanding of the needs and obstacles of the target audience, as well as strategic partnerships. For example, campaigns might encourage people to reduce their plastic consumption or engage in regular physical activity. To succeed, it's not just about communication; it's also about making desired behaviors more accessible, more appealing, and less expensive. By integrating these elements, social marketing contributes to improving collective well-being.

What are pro-environmental behaviors?

Pro-environmental behaviors refer to actions aimed at reducing human impact on the environment, whether individual (such as recycling or adopting eco-responsible consumption) or collective (advocating for climate policies). Historically linked to the environmental awareness of the 1970s, these behaviors are now crucial in the face of the climate emergency. However, they encounter psychological, economic, and practical obstacles. To encourage them, it is essential that public and private actors make these ecological actions more accessible and socially valued. These behaviors, while indispensable, must be integrated into collective and systemic initiatives for a sustainable transition.

What is Strategic Renewal?

In times of crisis, SME entrepreneurs update and replace the firm’s resources and capabilities within strategic renewal processes in order to maintain organizational resilience. Appearing in the form of internal development and external sourcing, the outcomes of strategic renewal are explained by the synergy of individual, organizational, and environmental factors that reinforce SMEs’ dynamic capabilities. This research presents a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) of the conjunctural causality between multi-level dynamic capability configurations and SME strategic renewal outcomes.

What is the option in finance?

An option is the right to buy (call) or sell (put) an underlying asset at a predetermined expiration date and price, known as the strike price. The underlying asset can be a commodity, currency, interest rate, stock, or bond. The expiration date is the date on which the option is exercised. Options can be used as hedging tools or to speculate on whether the price of an underlying asset will rise or fall.

Entrepreneurial ecosystems in France and Norway

This research compares student entrepreneurial ecosystems in France and Norway, focusing on how students access support, resources, and networks. In France, the system is centralized, driven by key actors like Student Hubs for Innovation, Transfer and Entrepreneurship, called PEPITE. In Norway, it is open and collaborative, with strong student associations and community ties. Using interviews and social network analysis, I explored the access and the circulation of information among actors in student entrepreneurial ecosystems. The results reveal different paths to innovation shaped by culture, policy, and education. Supporting student entrepreneurship is not just about funding or training. It’s about building inclusive ecosystems where students, mentors, and institutions work together.

Human artificial intelligence at the service of hyperperformance

Artificial intelligence is already transforming lives and organizations. It brings a huge potential, for example, to achieve hyper-performance. Which is not about adding more trainings. But rather finding and removing obstacles from human minds. And artificial intelligence can facilitate that efficiently. It can help us to learn more about our own intelligence. Thus, giving us a unique chance to finally re-unite both intelligences.

What is Hyper-Performance?

It is a state of performance when all unnecessary human thought is minimized or completely suppressed. Such as bad judgments, distracting thoughts, subjective biases, bad decisions, etc. For example, employees may be reluctant to accept artificial intelligence. That means there’s something in their mind that stops them. That something is the root cause.

Innovation Pays Off—Especially with University Partners

Cette étude analyse 2 986 entreprises d’Amérique latine (2009–2017, base LAIS) pour comprendre comment les collaborations universités–entreprises influencent le lien entre dépenses d’innovation et résultats d’innovation. Les résultats montrent (1) une relation positive entre dépenses et résultats, et (2) un effet modérateur significatif de la collaboration universitaire : à budget équivalent, les entreprises partenaires des universités obtiennent davantage d’innovations. La qualité des partenariats compte autant que leur existence. Implications : structurer la coopération (objectifs, IP), investir dans le capital humain, et mobiliser les ressources académiques comme amplificateurs de capacité.
