The 'doing-using-interacting mode' of innovation (DUI) is considered an important component of innovative activity. It describes informal innovative activities and thus complements the 'science-technology-innovation mode' (STI) based on research and development. While empirical measurement of...

The 'doing-using-interacting mode' of innovation (DUI) is considered an important component of innovative activity. It describes informal innovative activities and complements the 'science-technology-innovation mode' (STI) which is based on research and development. A common demarcation...

Digitalization is one of the main trends affecting firm-level innovation today. In this context, a better understanding of the multidimensional relationship between digital technologies, competences and firm-level innovation is necessary. For this purpose, this paper examines the role of digital...

The DUI (learning by doing-using-interacting) mode offers a promising theoretical framework to explain why many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are successful in innovation without research and development (R&D) efforts. In this context, we argue that - because of the informal,...

In order to provide a better basis for measuring the complex interplay between digital technologies, competences and innovation, the present paper examines the digitalization-innovation link in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Starting from a review of the fourth edition of the Oslo...
