2018, Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation ReviewCitation Excerpt :Regulatory environment is defined as the degree of government influence and support felt by the focal firm to monitor the movement of goods transported (Zhu et al., 2006). The coercive pressure of the regulatory environment on IT innovation assimilation has been well recognized (Allen et al., 1978). The regulatory environment has also had a clear influence on the supply chain.
Building smart grid to power the next century in Taiwan
2017, Renewable and Sustainable Energy ReviewsCitation Excerpt :However, such a system is rarely addressed in the renewable energy literature. Allen [23] and Freeman [24] stated that a successful policy framework in industry depends on a favorable combination of technology supply, market demand and a suitable environment. Innovation policies have been proposed by Rothwell and Zegveld [25] to cover technology policies, which are related to patents, technology education and basic infrastructure, and industrial policies, which are related to incentives, tariff and taxation policies, and industrial regeneration.
A comparison of innovation policy in the smart grid industry across the pacific: China and the USA
2013, Energy PolicyCitation Excerpt :To elaborate further, Rothwell and Zegveld (1981, 1984) provide an original definition of these three main groups of innovation policy based on a discussion regarding the determinants of innovation. They argue that successful innovation in industry depends upon a favorable combination of technology supply, market demand and an innovative environment (also see Allen, 1978; Freeman, 1979). On the supply side, the research and development of new products and processes is contingent upon an adequate presence of policy inputs such as scientific knowledge and manpower, information about the likely market for the innovation, and the management skills needed to ensure research.
Non-technological regulatory effects: Implications for innovation and innovation policy
2012, Research PolicyCitation Excerpt :In turn, this involves the exploration of many types of existing policies that do not target innovation officially and directly, and which, however, may affect its directions and outcome. These “policies in disguise” (Stoneman and Diederen, 1994) are nested in various policy domains that range from competition policy, education, public procurement, regulation (mostly environmental and safety laws) all the way to macro-economic policies (Allen et al., 1978; Georghiou, 2006). Among these domains, in this work we study the role of regulation for innovation and discuss its potential for innovation policy.
Rethinking the role of the state in technology development: DARPA and the case for embedded network governance
2010, Research PolicyCitation Excerpt :This emphasis on the State not sustaining a technology is an important final piece. Past research has warned of the tendencies for companies to become reliant on support from the state (Allen et al., 1978; Sirbu, 1978; Zysman, 1983). History suggests that DARPA has had many successes transitioning subsequent development and production of its early-stage technologies to commercial (e.g. laser (Bromberg, 1991), the Internet (Newman, 2002), and the personal computer (Allan, 2001)) and military (e.g. F117-A, Predator, Global Hawk (Van Atta and Lippitz, 2003)) organizations.
