Innovation is increasingly based on distributed knowledge sources, given that firms often do not possess all competencies necessary for fundamental innovations. Hence, the manner in which firms organize the access to external knowledge and make use of this knowledge in internal innovation processes is crucial for the success of innovation. Learning processes have to be organized across organizational, spaƠtial, functional, and disciplinary boundaries - in particular with regard to collaƠboƠraƠtion between knowledge producing and knowledge using firms, suppliers, clients, diverse knowledge based service providers, or research and development centers and universities. The crucial point is how external knowledge gathered in these collaborations can be used within the organization. At this juncture, a specific recontextualization probƠlem arises for firms, because the successful adoption of externally created knowledge depends on shared experiences of actors and the specific context of the organization where the knowledge has been created. Therefore, externally created knowledge whichmay be incorporated into routines, products, services, and documents has to be (re- )contextualized and recombined using context specific and subjective exƠpeƠriences, perceptions, and capabilities of the involved actors. It is the solution of reƠcontextualization problems that poses the particular challenge of collaborative inƠnoƠvation processes. The research project "Collaborative Innovations" (COLLIN) started from the assumption that hierarchical, market, network, and community based forms of goƠvernance play a crucial role for the adoption of external knowledge. Due to their different characteristics with regard to the access to the formation process of the external knowledge as well as the proprietary use of the acquired knowledge the respective governance forms facilitate different ways of dealing with external knowƠledge in collaborative innovation processes.

Nick O'Donovan tells the story of how the techno-optimism once associated with the rise of the knowledge economy came to be supplanted by widespread anxiety about technological progress, and how the political consensus that formed around a knowledge-driven growth agenda has unravelled.

Rozwój innowacyjnej gospodarki zależy od umiejętności korzystania z osiągnięć nauki i możliwości ich dystrybucji. Książka wpisuje się w niezwykle istotną dyskusję dotyczącą poprawy innowacyjności polskiej gospodarki poprzez udoskonalenie współpracy pomiędzy sektorem nauki i biznesu. Autorzy diagnozują sytuację polskich uczelni w zakresie komercjalizacji wyników badań oraz współpracy z biznesem, badają różne grupy interesariuszy biorących udział w profesjonalnych procesach transferu wiedzy i technologii w Polsce, Norwegii, Francji, Czechach, na Węgrzech, a także w USA i Kanadzie. Analizują studia dobrych praktyk - zarówno polskich, jak i zagranicznych - aby na tej podstawie zaprezentować rekomendacje niezbędnych zmian dla uczelni w obszarze kształtowania dobrych relacji z przedsiębiorstwami w celu zwiększania potencjału innowacyjnego i wzrostu konkurencyjności gospodarki.

'Citizen Knowledge' discusses how various forms of knowledge are dealt with in societies that combine a democratic political system with a capitalist economic system. How do citizens learn about politics? How are scientific insights taken up in politics? What role can markets play for processing decentralized knowledge? Lisa Herzog argues that the fraught relation between democracy and capitalism gets out of balance if too much knowledge is treated according to the logic of markets. Complex societies need different mechanisms for dealing with knowledge, among which democratic deliberation and expert communities are central. 'Citizen Knowledge' develops the vision of an egalitarian society that considers the use of knowledge in society a matter of shared democratic responsibility.
