1. Technology transfer offices for better management of the university-industry collaboration : comparison of Slovenia, Italy, And MaltaTamara Besednjak Valič, Erika Džajić Uršič, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The paper addresses a manifestation of University-Industry collaboration - the Technology Transfer Offices (TTO). The university-industry collaboration is relevant in the age of open innovation, and TTO serves as the meeting point between the two worlds. In this context, we are interested in how three specific cases of TTO operating in three distinct innovation ecosystems understand their role and how they perceive their strengths and weaknesses. The reader of the presented research will get an insight into three innovation ecosystems, each particular in its regard, and will learn that despite the differences among countries and cultures, the questions the TTO are struggling with are less diverse. A qualitative empirical study in three countries included focus group participants and expert representatives of academic-business technology transfer actors. To sum up, the respected countries need to carefully tailor innovation policies and explore the benefits of the TTO in boosting the commercialisation of products developed at universities.

2. Technologies and Innovations in Regional Development : the European Union and its strategies2022, znanstvena monografija Opis: The subsequent volume revolves around the Social-Fields-Approach (SOFIA) as an approach to conceptualisation and operationalisation for the purpose of empirical research. It contributes a new perspective and approach in research on innovation. We believe that SOFIA can have implications for both academic research and practical applications in reshaping the existing instruments and governance arrangements in innovation policy. Whilst aplying SOFIA, we urge researchers to leverage the plurality of different qualitative, quantitative and mixed-method approaches in innovation studies, including less conventional methods, such as QCA (Ragin, 2008). Diligent application of SOFIA can also subsequently lead to the development of high-level theoretical contributions.

3. Economic and social security in EU : reforming Slovenian law on social enterpreneurshipPetra Kleindienst, 2019, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Europe 2020 strategy of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth also implies policies for boosting social innovations. In this context, it is relevant to encourage solutions such as social entrepreneurship as it is addressing social and environmental issues while employing entrepreneurship. Social entrepreneurship depends on the context of its emergence and implementation. In this regard, the context-specific factors play an important role. Following the Cultural Political Economy approach, the article examines on different factors that have influenced on the adoption of amendments of the Slovenian Social Entrepreneurship Act in 2018. Selection of the case study of Slovenia bases on the findings implying that Slovenia has still not overcome the initial phase of the development of the social entrepreneurship. The article reveals that there are still issues relevant for running social enterprises that are not sufficiently regulated by the law. One of them is a training of the vulnerable groups in terms of their technological skills in order to ensure their efficiency and productiveness in Work Integration Social Enterprises.

4. Social networks as factors for innovations : doktorska disertacijaVictor Cepoi, 2018, doktorska disertacija Opis: In the new local-global interconnection, nation states are losing their influence and
legitimacy, while economic and cultural transformations are reconfiguring spatial formations.
Going in line with the global trends, regions grasp more importance in shaping the political,
economic and social environments. As a result, the regional level has an important role in
creating a proper socio-economic framework for innovation development, which is considered
one the engines of development.
Relying on the theory of Social fields, the research considers three social forces (networks,
institutions, and cognitive frames) as an alternative explanation for innovation processes, by
encompassing the aspects of different social fields on the regional level. Consequently, within
this dissertation we approach regional innovation systems as an analytical unit for exploring
innovation performance of a regional environment. As case studies, we selected seven regions
with different levels of innovation performance.
The analysis of the semi-structured interviews and the Qualitative Comparative Analysis
emphasized the social forces are a special component for explaining innovation processes in
the selected case studies. Nonetheless, the results offer insights for regional mechanisms
within the innovation performance with the focus on an approach toward innovation that is
beyond simple economics. Ključne besede: Regional Systems of Innovations, Networks, Social Field, Social Forces, Qualitative Comparative analysis Objavljeno v ReVIS: 17.02.2020; Ogledov: 3337; Prenosov: 96
