This monograph shares the latest empirical insights and knowledge about attitudes towards open innovations, as well as drivers and barriers of open innovation collaboration from the perspective of the Polish and knowledge-intensive SMEs sector. The introduction is followed by a presentation of the theoretical and conceptual framework of the open innovation paradigm, open innovation ecosystem and its major dimensions. The next section focuses on the specific features of high-tech and knowledge-intensive SMEs and their innovative collaboration with key stakeholders (with firms, academia, public authorities, end users etc.) as well as the problem of knowledge sharing. Section three presents the dynamics, structure and development of the selected R&D and knowledge-intensive industries in Poland. It introduces the specifics of four selected sectors: biotechnological and pharmaceutical sectors, electronics and computer industries, the chemical industry, as well as the media, publishing and printing industries, from the global perspective as well as that of the Polish market perspectives. Finally, chapter four presents the results of the research survey conducted on the Polish market. It provides insights on major drivers and barriers of open innovation in a high and medium-high tech SMEs, as well as the description of attitudes, behaviours and experiences observed in this group of entrepreneurs. The monograph ends with conclusions and policy implications.

Geld speelt een cruciale rol in onze economie en samenleving. Maar hoe sterk mensen ook focussen op getallen en targets, het zijn de verbindingen die ze maken die echt voldoening geven. Krist Pauwels zoekt voorbij de macht van het getal naar de werkelijke behoeften op de markt en de werkvloer. Via praktijkvoorbeelden en oefeningen daagt hij de lezer uit om te kijken naar wat werkelijk telt. En mee te stappen in een ecosysteem van echte meerwaarde die elke mens geeft wat hij echt verdient.

Dopo anni di sfruttamento indiscriminato, il periodo dell'Antropocene ci restituisce una natura le cui reazioni rendono la Terra sempre meno abitabile: invertire la rotta è diventata oggi un'urgenza prioritaria. Il paradigma dei servizi ecosistemici muove un passo nella giusta direzione nel considerare la molteplicità dei benefici offerti al genere umano dall'ambiente, ma si presta a derive quantitative che rischiano di estendere la mercificazione anche al mondo della natura. Questo volume indaga da più orizzonti disciplinari la consistenza e l'utilità per le scienze del territorio del paradigma dei servizi ecosistemici, avanzando la proposta di ricondurlo all'interno dell'approccio bioregionale con l'introduzione del concetto di servizi eco-territoriali.

The majority of human infectious diseases are of animal origin, and many recent emerging infectious diseases (EIDs), such as HIV/AIDS, the Nipah virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), highly pathogenic avian influenzas (HPAIs), and Ebola virus disease share a common feature: their wildlife origin. Wildlife-originated EIDs are also increasing in frequency over recent decades. As shown by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the impacts of EIDs disproportionately affect the poor and other vulnerable groups, increasing inequality and threatening decades of development progress. The acceleration of EID events of epidemic and pandemic potential calls for a paradigm shift in how we manage and interact with our natural and built environments, while stressing the urgency to develop and implement comprehensive One Health approaches to achieve optimal health outcomes. Furthermore, it is important to recognize the interconnections between people, animals, plants, and their shared environments. East and South Asia, renowned global hotspots for disease emergence, have suffered from and continue to experience major economic impacts from outbreaks. A team comprised of experts from the World Bank and FAO, and leading wildlife and One Health experts from around the world have worked together to analyze the causes. This report outlines the risks of EIDs of wildlife origin and proposes how to reduce emerging pandemic threats at their source; it includes background material, state-of-the-art knowledge, and recommendations for strengthening systems to prevent, detect, and manage EID outbreaks caused by wildlife trade, wildlife farming, food systems, and habitat degradation. Furthermore, it examines the scope of existing policy frameworks, institutional mandates, level of multisectoral engagement, investments, wildlife-health information systems, and capacity building related to wildlife in the context of emerging disease risks.
