ABSTRACT
We have passed from an era based on an assumption that research automatically translates into use, to an era where policies are continuously reinvented to achieve that objective. Transcending the development of new formats for the production and distribution of knowledge, the endless-frontier idea of “priming-the-pump’ organizational models for innovation is continually reinvented, reconceptualizing what a region does, what a fi rm does, what a university does, and what government does, individually and collaboratively.
