Social Network Analysis: An Overview
Preprint / Working Paper
Pearson, M. Social Network Analysis: An Overview

Social network analysis has roots as far back as the 1930’s under Moreno (1932, 1938) and developed rapidly during the 1970’s with the availability of fast computers and well developed graph theoretical concepts. Since then, to quote the INSNA (2013)... Read More about Social Network Analysis: An Overview.

Simulation Conceptual Modelling for SCM Applications: Research Issues and Existing Practice
Preprint / Working Paper
Weaver, M. Simulation Conceptual Modelling for SCM Applications: Research Issues and Existing Practice

Evaluating supply chain problems is important yet complex; with vast amount of research and practice using a simulation based approach. However, the least understood aspect of a simulation study is the critical step of ‘conceptual modelling’. This pa...

The Uniqueness of Stem Cell Ecosystems
Preprint / Working Paper
Bock, A., & Johnson, D. The Uniqueness of Stem Cell Ecosystems. Israel

While Univenture ecosystems present an exciting vision for economic development, policy and practice should be grounded in reality. The truth is that a limited number of hyper successful university spin-outs hide real challenges and mediocre economic... Read More about The Uniqueness of Stem Cell Ecosystems.

Innovation as a Singular Enabler
Preprint / Working Paper
Fascia, M. Innovation as a Singular Enabler

In this paper, we consider the value of knowledge in an innovation context and deliberate a contrary perspective from existing empiricisms to bring about better innovation efficiency within multi-agent arenas. To do this, we consider why, if innovati... Read More about Innovation as a Singular Enabler.

Working Paper Series: Philosophy and Knowledge: Reflexion on a Flexible Management Method
Preprint / Working Paper
Fascia, M. Working Paper Series: Philosophy and Knowledge: Reflexion on a Flexible Management Method

In this discussion, we reflect on the value given to knowledge in a business context and deliberate a contrary philosophical perspective which does not conform to prevailing knowledge theory. We consider why, if knowledge is key for business success... Read More about Working Paper Series: Philosophy and Knowledge: Reflexion on a Flexible Management Method.

Evaluation of Knowledge Transfer Practices From a Leibniz Perspective
Preprint / Working Paper
Fascia, M., Tan, H., & Sanderson, M. Evaluation of Knowledge Transfer Practices From a Leibniz Perspective

In recent years, there has been a growing number of subspecialties within the context of business management, which have begun to talk seriously about a notion of religious points of view in a business context. In this paper we unpack a view from Got... Read More about Evaluation of Knowledge Transfer Practices From a Leibniz Perspective.

Venturing in the Dark: Technology Transfer in Regenerative Medicine
Preprint / Working Paper
Johnson, D., & Bock, A. Venturing in the Dark: Technology Transfer in Regenerative Medicine. Edinburgh, Scotland

While most major research universities promote entrepreneurial approaches, few provide the resources, training, or career support to sustain a productive start-up environment and drive regional economic development.

These challenges are especially... Read More about Venturing in the Dark: Technology Transfer in Regenerative Medicine.

Building Robust Entrepreneurial Ecosystems around Universities.
Preprint / Working Paper
Johnson, D., & Bock, A. Building Robust Entrepreneurial Ecosystems around Universities. Edinburgh, Scotland

Universities can drive entrepreneurial ecosystems, especially in high-value technology sectors. Nowhere is this more evident than in regenerative medicine (regenmed), which is centred on academic stem cell research.

Over the past three years, we’... Read More about Building Robust Entrepreneurial Ecosystems around Universities..
