Beschreibung
This book synthesizes the critical advances in holistic understanding of innovation intermediation. It aims to enable researchers, policy-makers, analysts and practitioners to understand and exploit the best practice in designing and deploying interventions in support of an emergent high-tech geographically-bound sectoral innovation system. The book presents a systematic review of innovation intermediaries’ literature and mixed-methods empirical evidence across a range of projects, building a new comprehensive model of activities and resources deployed.
The book highlights the emerging New Space industry in Scotland as a primary case study, but lessons learned can applied to scholarly analysis, policy and operational design of all innovation intermediaries’ interventions, which makes this book essential reading in management, innovation studies, political studies and sociology of technology.
Matjaz Vidmar is a researcher and teacher at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. He examines technological innovation and (inter-)organisational change from the perspective of Science, Technology and Innovation Studies. He focuses on entrepreneurial networks and systemic institutions, especially innovation intermediaries. His studies centre on high-tech industries, in particular Space and Satellite, and he publishes widely in both social scientific and technical literature.

“This book provides an impressive understanding of the relationship between space policy and innovation. Through detailed empirical inquiry, it builds a theoretical framework that integrates Science and Technology Studies and innovation studies at a more general level, beyond space research itself. As such it is both a timely and important contribution that deserves to be widely read.” (Professor Andrew Webster, SATSU, University of York, UK)
“This work offers a fresh perspective on innovation intermediation, in particular in the increasingly important high-tech sectors, and should resonate with both researchers and practitioners.” (Professor Marina Candi, CRIE, Reykjavik University, Iceland)
“Matjaz Vidmar provides interesting and intriguing insights into the underappreciated and often relatively invisible role of all the bit players, “intermediaries,” in bringing about new technological developments. Interesting because a synthetic view of what is known; and intriguing because it deals with space technology—an area of huge importance for the future.” (Professor James Fleck, UEBS, The University of Edinburgh, UK)
