(2018). For this analysis we used the action research method to collectively create solutions for this city asset. With the results, it is possible to state that the group's work took place as a collective co-production. Regarding the framework proposal, the community represented the mobilising force which contributed to another driver's development, public policies; whereas the technology aspect had a modest representation as a tool. In the group members evaluation, the perceived value of collective work stood out. The action research methodology was adequate, converging with the co-production and smart cities stages presented in the literature. Journal: Int.

Thereby, universities have placed a stronger emphasis on university-industry collaboration (UIC), which facilitates knowledge and technology transfer and frames teaching and research activities. In this article Iceland is an example to illustrate the importance of the triple helix which serves the purpose of enhancing formal UIC. The study conducts a thematic analysis of qualitative data collected in interviews with staff in universities, public research organisations, and companies. The findings show that informal modes of collaboration were prevalent and characterised by short-term orientation and reliance on social capital. The reasons for these findings could be traced to the business culture, funding structures, and the location and size of organisations in Iceland. Based on our findings, we provide recommendations to governments, universities, and industries for strengthening their collaboration. Journal: Int.

This research aimed to identify the local impacts of the processes of State intervention triggered by the creation of protected areas and to expand the concepts of polyvalence and pluriactivity as livelihood strategies for (re)adapting households to these interventions by the State. With a qualitative and empirical approach, the results point out that polyvalence of the Amazon peasants is their original strategy to deal with resources potential and ecosystem limitations while pluriactivity has become an adaptation strategy in response to limitations on access to resources imposed by State interventions and their impacts in economic and social dimensions of local livelihoods.

The employees of these companies specialise in a specific field and are characterised by high knowledge intensity. However, competition between these companies requires them to develop capabilities through which they can offer innovative services. Thus, innovative companies succeed in differentiating themselves from traditional service providers. From the perspective of the entrepreneurial theory of the firm, the present study aims to identify the capabilities and strategies that enable professional service providers to create continuous streams of innovation and ensure their survival and profitability. To this end, three financial advising, investment management, and accounting firms in Iran were selected to be studied, and behavioural patterns shared by them, which were associated with innovation development, were identified. The present study employs a qualitative approach using the multiple case study method. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis. Research findings indicate that by using entrepreneurial and strategic capabilities and business, structural and cultural strategies, these firms were enabled to create continuous streams of innovation.
