Trans-sector Innovation Framework
Society and economy are divided into sectors e.g. healthcare, education and transport. Governmental laws and regulation control the game, founded on economic rules. Sectors and ministries tend to function as monoliths. Today increasing complexity and work stress discourage a bridging process. From a novel network vision and experience from the ICT world, this thesis focuses on a Trans-sector innovation process, taking the Netherlands as an example.
Objective of the Trans-sector Innovation Framework PhD project:
- Understand and describe the sector network architecture
- Discover sector specific and generic functions incl. sector specific language
- Find out if a generic sector layer model could be established
- Discover trans-sector isomorfisms and learn to transfer these horizontally and vertically
- Bring up some promising trans-sector innovations ideas and values
The following poster depicts the main area of concentration of Edgar van Boven’s research. The publications listed and detailed below are a part of his PhD repertoire.
