The Integrated Model for the Development and Prediction of Innovation - SPINNER INNOVATION

UNDERSTANDING THE SPINNER INNOVATION METHODOLOGY

The SPINNER INNOVATION (Integrated Model for the Development and Prediction of Innovation) assesses the evolution of knowledge-intensive solutions (KIS) and their impact on innovation within the services sector. Drawing on conceptualized models and theories such as Open Innovation, UTAUT, Triple Helix, and Knowledge-Intensive Business Services (KIBS), the model aims to provide a practical approach to innovation. It concentrates on crucial factors and contingencies for predicting innovation and the development of knowledge-intensive services, primarily in organizational settings. Empirically tested and validated, the SPINNER INNOVATION accounts for approximately 70% of variability.


SPINNER INNOVATION, known as the Model for Predicting and Contributing to Innovation, offers established methods for validating and fostering innovation. It identifies key factors influencing organizations in predicting innovation and cultivating knowledge-intensive solutions - professional (p-KIS) or technological (t-KIS) to generate value. SPINNER INNOVATION confirms four pivotal factors and three moderating conditions essential for predicting and developing innovation within organizations. The determining factors encompass knowledge creation, knowledge transfer, public knowledge, private knowledge, knowledge-intensive solutions and innovation.


SPINNER INNOVATION introduces moderating conditions, namely, sector (economic sector), services (business services), and size (MSMEs - Micro, Small, Medium-sized Enterprises), that impact the prediction and development of innovation by organizations. These conditions indirectly influence factors within the SPINNER INNOVATION, acting as moderating or modulating elements for the prediction and development of innovation. According to the Figueiredo et al. (2020) model, these indirect factors play a role in influencing the primary factors that determine the prediction and development of innovation. They can be labeled as moderators or moderating conditions in research, influencing factors such as sector, services, and size.

Private

Knowledge
The private knowledge considers the internal factors accounts for the capacity for companies to innovate. The Spinner Innovation reflects an analytical structure for implementing a strategic process of open innovation through developing the levels of engagement with interested parties, both internal and external to the company.

Public

Knowledge
The public knowledge considers the impacts of a set of external factors to SMEs. The Spinner Innovation reflects an recognize the resources available as well as business internationalization theories to boost their influence within the context of international development of SMEs.

Dimensions

Economic Sector

An area of the economy in which businesses share the same or a related product or service. It can also be thought of as an industry or market that shares common operating characteristics. Dividing an economy into different sectors allows for more in-depth analysis of the economy as a whole. (Dimension Sector)

Business

This includes, in particular, self-employed persons and family businesses engaged in craft or other activities, and partnerships or associations regularly engaged in an economic activity. (Dimension Size)

Variables

Knowledge Creation

This is a continuous process of generating and sharing of new ideas through social interactions, collaboration, education, and practice. Knowledge creation is usually supported by information and data sharing to inform decisions and serve as building blocks in problem solving.

Knowledge Transfer

Is the transmitting of practical or theoretical knowledge, apprehended in an academic environment, to the entrepreneurial context with the objectives of, among others, improving production techniques and augmenting monetary returns.

Knowledge Solution

Knowledge solutions are produced from the relationship between business agents involved in the co-creation process. They are concerned with creating value, providing solutions that support the innovation process of economic sectors. As a result, their approaches are focused on the surrounding parts of the innovation ecosystem, creating value for all stakeholders, including mainly the economic and social gain of the region.

Innovation

Any new services developed during innovation processes which are valuable for customers. With the growing economic importance of the services sector, service innovation is playing an ever more significant role in driving growth in todays knowledge-intensive economy.
