Abstract
Research on science commercialisation and science–industry interactions overlooks the specificity of connections between science and traditional low- and medium-technology (TLMT) industries. The few studies on science-based innovation in TLMT industries focus on barriers to investing, accessing, and creating value from science. This is problematic as TLMT industries exhibit different innovation patterns compared to high-tech and science-based industries. Therefore, we focus on the patterns arising from commercialisation processes utilised by TLMT firms to create value from science providers. We used a qualitative multiple case study design and identified four types of commercialisation patterns in TLMT industries: scientification, optimising nature, orchestration, and technification. Our typology contributes to research in traditional industries and science commercialisation by demonstrating firms’ science commercialisation patterns and the diverse ways in which they capture value within TLMT industries.Description
