1. Absorptive and transformative capacities in nanotechnology innovation systemsKrsto Pandža, Robin Holt, 2007, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: We identify managerial challenges offered by an emergent nanotechnology innovation system in which knowledge is dispersed, asymmetric and contested. We argue the proposed models of knowledge absorption and transformation enhance existing theories of knowledge and emergent technology by recognizing how and why knowledge flows among the actors in emergent technology innovationsystem. We base our argument on combined research evidence from a Delphi study concerning the future of European manufacturing, from which a selected statement has been analyzed, and from analysis of the NanoManufacturing Institute at Leeds University, UK; specifically its work in building ties between different actors associated with nanotechnology. We conclude our paper with suggestions for future research.

2. Analysis of innovation concepts in Slovenian manufacturing companiesIztok Palčič, Borut Buchmeister, Andrej Polajnar, 2010, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Competitive advantages of manufacturing companies are not only generated by R&D based product innovations but also by technical and non-technical process innovations aiming to modernise manufacturing processes. This paper presents the use of selected innovation concepts in Slovenian manufacturing companies. Later we analyse the relationship of the use of selected technical and organisational innovation concepts and companies performance indicators. The results show that R&D expenses and innovation concepts are not always correlated and that there is a difference in innovation concepts utilisation between low, medium and high-tech industries. The data were obtained with The European Manufacturing Survey (EMS) that was conducted in 2009 within nine European countries. For the purpose of this paper we use data of Slovenian manufacturing companies.

3. Enterprise : performance and business processesValentina Gečevska, Franc Čuš, Radmil Polenakovik, Paolo Chabert, 2011, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This article proposes a scenario of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), as a innovative business strategy based on the analysis of business drivers, industry requirements, limit of current solution, and recent state-of-the-art review in the domain related to PLM. Potential industrial impact of the developed PLM technology solutions is analyzed. It is hoped that the proposed PLM technology solutions will form the frontier basis for further research, development, and application of PLM systems to quickly adapt to the dynamic changing market for industry companies to pursue the most advanced competitiveness. This article presents a process oriented framework to support effective PLM implementation with a set of lifecycle oriented business process reference models which links the necessary fundamental concepts, enterprise knowledge and software solutions to effectively deploy PLM.

4. Zbiranje in selekcija idej za inovacije s pomočjo podpornega orodjaTine Kocbek, 2012, diplomsko delo Opis: V diplomski nalogi se ukvarjamo z opisom, predstavitvijo in analizo terminologije invencijsko-inovacijske managementa in razvoja izdelka. Predstavljamo opredelitve invencije, inovacije in ustvarjalnosti, natančno pa predstavimo aktivnosti in značilnosti procesa razvoja izdelka. Pozornost posvečamo konceptoma crowdsourcing in open innovation, ki sta namenjena količinskemu zbiranju idej in sugestij, ki bi lahko postale potencialne inovacije. Žal se veliko idej ne razvije v inovacije; znano je namreč, da le 2 % invencij dejansko postane inovacija, zato je pomembna čim večja količina zanimiv idej. Ugotavljamo, kako pomembna so dana orodja in novosti, implementirana skupaj z znanjem o razvoju izdelka in invencijsko-inovacijskega managementa za nadaljnje pospeševanje inoviranja.

6. Interdisciplinary approach to tool-handle design based on medical imagingGregor Harih, Andrej Čretnik, 2013, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Products are becoming increasingly complex; therefore, designers are faced with a challenging task to incorporate new functionality, higher performance, and optimal shape design. Traditional user-centered design techniques such as designing with anthropometric data do not incorporate enough subject data to design products with optimal shape for best fit to the target population. To overcome these limitations, we present an interdisciplinary approach with medical imaging. The use of this approach is being presented on the development of an optimal sized and shaped tool handle where the hand is imaged using magnetic resonance imaging machine. The obtained images of the hand are reconstructed and imported into computer-aided design software, where optimal shape of the handle is obtained with Boolean operations. Methods can be used to develop fully customized products with optimal shape to provide best fit to the target population. This increases subjective comfort rating, performance and can prevent acute and cumulative trauma disorders. Provided methods are especially suited for products where high stresses and exceptional performance is expected (high performance tools, professional sports, and military equipment, etc.). With the use of these interdisciplinary methods, the value of the product is increased, which also increases the competitiveness of the product on the market.

9. Measuring public procurement for innovation on the country level and the role of ICT supportKristina Detelj, Tanja Markovič-Hribernik, Igor Pihir, 2015, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Using of public procurement as a tool for promoting innovations has captured interest of many researchers in recent years. However, most of the research is focused on the impact of public procurement on the company's innovativeness. The article discusses the findings of the literature on this topic and proposes a model on how to transfer the concept from the company level to the level of the whole country. One of the biggest problems is unavailability of appropriate measures of this phenomenon, so the authors suggest that the concept of Public procurement for innovation can be approximated by participation of criterion of the most economically advantageous tender (MEAT). Implementation of this criterion in choosing the best offer can be supported and facilitated by using of ICT which can improve the efficiency of procurement process and enable more innovations.

10. Business model innovation: insights from a multiple case study of Slovenian SMEsMarjeta Marolt, Gregor Lenart, Damjan Maletič, Mirjana Kljajić Borštnar, Andreja Pucihar, 2016, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Background and Purpose: Business model innovation (BMI) has become increasingly important, especially in the fast changing business environment. While large enterprises approach these changes systematically, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are left to their own resourcefulness. For the purpose of developing dedicated methods and tools to support different SMEs in addressing these challenges, we have conducted a multiple case study to gain insights into factors that drive SMEs to innovate their BM, how they approach BMI and what changes they made to their BM.
Design/Methodology/Approach: First the framework of analysis was developed based on BMI research frameworks identified in literature review. Then the multiple case studies were conducted following the case study protocol developed by Envision project.
Results: Based on the proposed framework the results of four Slovene SME cases revealed differences between enterprises regarding the drivers behind BMI and changes in usage of the different BMI elements.
Conclusion: Overall, the results suggest all four SMEs, coming from different sectors, are facing BMI challenges without systematically addressing it and without using any dedicated BM ontologies or tools.
