Institutional Entrepreneurship Relay for Science-based Innovation - How Did World Class Regenerative Medicine Come about in Tampere, Finland?

Year: 2011

Type: report

Abstract: This paper investigates the institutional change process underpinning the emergence of regenerative medicine and related medical innovation in Tampere, Finland.The main aim is to investigate how institutional entrepreneurship has influenced the course of events and what roles the key actors have played.The empirical analysis shows that institutional entrepreneurship is a multi-scalar and multi-actor force in time and, that no single actor has led the process in a conventional sense but there have been several actors who have played leading roles in different phases of the process.This paper shows that institutional entrepreneurship is a strategic relay of power and knowledge in time.This paper is based on the analysis of secondary data and 28 interviews of key actors.
