Leadership and governance challenges in delivering place-based transformation through Smart Specialisation
研究了瑞典斯德哥尔摩这一创新领先都市区在实施智能专业化战略中的领导力与治理挑战，发现变革型区域创新政策取决于变革代理人的充分赋权，而非一般区域条件。
This paper considers the unfolding of Smart Specialisation Strategy (RIS3) in one of Europe’s innovation-leading metropolitan regions: Stockholm, Sweden. Theoretically, it contributes to debates around change agency and reflects more broadly, which implications arise for metropolitan innovation-leader regions and which are of more generic nature. It argues that actor endowments, dense networks, experience with participatory governance processes and good governance are not sufficient for a successful implementation of RIS3. It finds that transformative regional innovation policy is contingent upon the adequate empowerment of change agents rather than on general regional preconditions.
