Intermediation and Innovation: Changing Dynamics and Future Perspectives
Jeremy Howells, University of Southampton
The paper reviews and analyses the role of intermediation in the innovation process. In particular it investigates the role of innovation intermediaries in three different ways and levels. Firstly, in terms of their systemic and institutional context; secondly, in terms of how they influence diffusion and network capabilities; and, lastly how shape (and in turn be shaped) intra- and inter-organisational transformation within innovation systems. The paper concludes by reviewing the future of innovation intermediaries and intermediation in the wider innovation process.
