A Framework for Measuring Innovation District Performance: Input–Output Metrics for Policy and Practice
本文提出一个衡量创新区绩效的框架，基于创新系统视角和67位专家访谈，提炼出可直接对接OECD等数据源的实用指标集，帮助工程管理者、研究者和政策制定者评估创新区表现。
In this article, we introduce a framework for measuring innovation in innovation districts (IDs). While the intellectual roots of IDs are in urban design, this study conceptualizes them as highly localized place-based innovation systems. The innovation systems perspective brings the innovation activities and their measurement to the fore, which is taken for granted in the urban design literature. This study synthesizes prior research on innovation measurement and 67 interviews with innovation experts across six cities to derive a concise and pragmatic set of measures. The measures are pragmatic and dashboard ready because the measures recommended by the experts could be matched to organisation for economic co-operation and development (OECD) and other readily available data sources. The ID measurement framework will enable engineering managers to monitor their performance in the context of a given ID and help researchers and policymakers evaluate the performance of IDs and related policy interventions.
