Abstract

The author team of Gibbons, Limoges, Nowotny, Schwartzman, Scott, and Trow (Gibbons et al., 1994) distinguishes between two different modes of knowledge production. “Mode 1” focuses on the traditional role of university research in an elderly “linear model of innovation” understanding. This reflects a basic university research, interested in “first/basic principles” and “discoveries,” with a disciplinary research structure, where quality is being controlled primarily by disciplinary peers or a disciplinary peer review process. These disciplinary peers exercise a strong quality gatekeeper function and represent also a university (higher education) system with powerful hierarchies, built into the institutions (Gibbons et al., 1994, p. 1, 3, 24, 33–34, 43–44, 167). Success in Mode 1 (of Mode 1 university research) is defined as a quality or excellence that is approved by hierarchically established peers: “Success in Mode 1 might perhaps be summarily described as excellence by disciplinary peers” (Gibbons et al., 1994). Mode 1 is not concerned with the application, diffusion, and use of knowledge, and Mode 1 does not focus on features in relation to problem-solving for the society or the economy. Nonlinear innovation models are of no major concern for Mode 1.

The full names of the whole research team are Michael Gibbons, Camille Limoges, Helga Nowotny, Simon Schwartzman, Peter Scott, and Martin Trow.

On the concept of “co-opetition” (forms or network configurations of a simultaneous cooperation and competition), see Brandenburger and Nalebuff (1997).

Modes of knowledge and innovation may be reinterpreted as “paradigms” or as being paradigm-based.

According to Wikipedia (http://​en.​wikipedia.​org/​wiki/​Thomas_​Kuhn, retrieved: November 12, 2009), the concept of a “paradigm shift” being referred to Kuhn, however, was not literally created by Kuhn.

At least one potential quality of print books will be to serve as a different backup medium (in paper) for the electronic e-books. University libraries again often are challenged of not exactly knowing where to store the masses of print publications in the long run.

Current hybrid cars combine a combustion engine with an electric motor. Next-generation automobiles might be hybrid plug-in hydrogen cars that link an electric motor with a fuel cell. Such cars could either be externally charged directly with electricity or could convert, in the fuel cell, hydrogen and oxygen to electricity (and heat) for the electric motor. Hydrogen cars powered by fuel cells emit only water (water vapor). If the electricity for the plug-in device or the hydrogen for the fuel cell generated in a clean way, this next-generation technology might contribute to a substantial reduction of carbon dioxide emissions of the land-bound traffic and would help balancing the current effects of a global warming of the world climate. Several analysts believe that some of the Japanese and German car companies are (at least for the moment) the global leaders in hydrogen technology.

Two key books of Eric von Hippel, The Sources of Innovation (1988) and Democratizing Innovation (2005), are electronically available as a free download (http://​web.​mit.​edu/​evhippel/​www/​books.​htm). Print versions must be purchased. This illustrates how a print medium and an electronic medium of the same publication can be combined in an innovative, creative, and effective way and furthermore might indicate a promising hybrid strategy for publishers in the future.

As an interesting example for a citizen audit on the quality of democracy, which was carried out in recent years, see Cullell (2004) on Costa Rica.

For an analysis of the different dynamics in the biotechnology and ICT sectors in Finland, Christopher Palmberg and Terttu Luukkonen (2006, pp. 160–161, 167–169) apply the concept of the “competence block.” Here the “entrepreneur” is crucial. Palmberg and Luukkonen define the entrepreneur as: “Entrepreneurs, or innovators, who identify profitable inventions and introduce them in the market. The task of the entrepreneur is to identify those ideas that have the greatest potential commercial value and therefore to contribute to turning inventions into innovations in the market.”
