past environment
1. capital investment
2. keep & evolve capital-based
3. unbalanced access to innovation
consequences
1. public finding to try "democratize" access to innovation
2. funding created on a mimicking approach
3. geared to access: organizations doing repeat investments, i.e. large, not SMEs
new environment
1. beside process-based industries, innovation requires non-capital intensive resources
2. pervasive computing: lowering the cost of the tools needed to access
3. multipolar sources of innovation
shifting focus, keeping the aim
1. purpose: maximize the (knowledge) return of innovatin
2. balancing costs and benefits
3. what is the logic of innovation? different players, different "formats"
4. is the cost/benefits/stakeholder model still viable?
managing stakeholders: yesterday, today, tomorrow
1. ffrom one-to-many, to many-to-many
2. multiple agenda, multiple timescales
3. from "staged" negotiation and communication to constant monitoring
