Governing dual objectives within single policy mixes: an empirical analysis of large carnivore policies in six European countries
Full text linkPolicy mixes (i.e. the total structure of policy processes, strategies, and instruments) are complex constructs that can quickly become incoherent, inconsistent, and incomprehensive. This is amplified when the policy mix strives to meet multiple objectives simultaneously, such as in the case of large carnivore policy mixes. Building on Rogge and Reichardt's analytical framework for the analysis of policy mixes, we compare the policy mixes of Norway, Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands, Germany (specifically Saxony and Bavaria), and Spain (specifically Castilla y León). The study shows that the large carnivore policy mixes in the case countries show signs of lacking vertical and horizontal coherence in the design of policy processes, weak consistency between objectives and designated policy instruments, and, as a consequence, lacking comprehensiveness. We conclude that creating consistent, coherent, and comprehensive policy mixes that build on multiple objectives requires stepping away from sectorized policy development, toward a holistic, systemic approach, strong collaborative structures across policy boundaries and regions, the inclusion of diverse stakeholders, and constant care and attention to address all objectives simultaneously rather than in isolation.publishedVersio

Først blant smarte regioner i Norge. Evaluering av Nordlands innovasjonsstrategi for smart spesialisering 2014-2020
Full text linkEn vellykket næringspolitisk innovasjon. Rapporten evaluerer Nordland fylkeskommunes innovasjonsstrategi (2014-2020), den første regionale strategi for næringsutvikling i Norge etter EUs modell for smart spesialisering. Strategien skiller seg fra tidligere næringsutvikling ved å fokusere på innovasjon som vekstdriver, ta utgangspunkt i stedlige fortrinn, gå mot en mer diversifisert næringsstruktur, øke bedriftenes inngrep med forskning, og samarbeide bredt over alle sektorer for å oppdage, legge til rette for og utløse innovasjonsinitiativ med særlig vekstpotensial. De viktigste grepene har vært å utvikle, spre og forankre strategiens nye tankegods blant regionens policy- og virkemiddelaktører, koordinere virkemidler i regionen inn mot fylkeskommunens strategi, forbedre relasjonene mellom fylkeskommunen og næringslivet, øke regionens kapasitet for relevante forsknings- og kompetansetilbud (moderne lokaliseringsbetingelser for bedrifter), bruke knutepunkter i regionens innovasjonssystem til å drive fram bedriftssamarbeid om innovasjon og relevant forskningssamarbeid, og legge særlig vekt på å innrette klyngeprosjekter mot sistnevnte. Strategiarbeidet har blant annet resultert i forsterking av en bærekraftig opplevelsesøkonomi i reiselivet, økt bedriftsinitiert FoU i industrien, og spennende bivirkninger som et bredt initiativ til en algesatsing og framskredne planer om lokalisering av en gigafabrikk for elbil-batterier på Helgeland. Organisering av det videre arbeid bør ta høyde for regionreformens nye føringer.publishedVersio

Post-failure success: sensemaking in problem representation reformulation
Full text linkFailure is an inevitable feature of innovation, and management research promulgates the importance of learning from it. Key to excelling at an innovation‐based strategy is understanding the processes that can turn failures into successes. However, post‐failure success remains elusive. Although failure signals that the innovation journey is off course, shifting trajectory is difficult, because it may require revising assumptions and reformulating the project’s problem representation. Using comparative case studies, this study set out to understand how problem representations are reformulated. Employing case method and comparing data versus theory iteratively, the important role of sensemaking and of leadership behaviors in driving post‐failure success became salient. Findings show that problem representations post‐failure require a process of problem formulation characterized by sensemaking and that innovative solutions are enabled by the reformulation of problem representations that spring from prospective sensemaking. Furthermore, this article identifies leadership change behavior as the linchpin driving a problem formulation process characterized by prospective sensemaking that catalyzes innovative solutions and explains why some projects thrive post‐failure and others do not. This article provides empirical support to the theoretical work of the literature on problem formulation, while extending the learning‐from‐failure literature by emphasizing and demonstrating the process driving post‐failure success. The major implication of our study is that different leadership behaviors may foster different types of sensemaking (retrospective or prospective), and that, in turn, the type of sensemaking matters for how a problem is reformulated. Ultimately, this article concludes that in the context of project failure, problem reformulation that springs from prospective sensemaking enables innovative solutions post‐failure.publishedVersio
