3GSP – Breeding Environment for Global Competitiveness


”The future isn’t what it used to be”

Some weak signals and emerging movements:

• Innovation activities are moving away from traditional STP environments Living Lab movement, free lancer lifestyle, co-working movement, generation Y

• Innovation potential is harvested by a diversity of individuals, not only those with university background

• Open innovation principles will get wider support and offer business possibilities to competent people

• Nomadic, globally well networked individuals will play a vital role in making serendipitous discoveries

• Emergence of truly global CNO based business models

• Business incubation Network incubation, breeding environment thinking


Collaborative Networked Organisations(CNOs)

Networking element in Starategigam profile, how to move towards strategic networking.

Types of CNOs

• Virtual Organisation (VO)

– Virtual Enterprise (VE)

– Extended Enterprise

• Dynamic Virtual Organisation

• Virtual Organisation Breeding Environment (VBE)

• Virtual Community

• Professional Virtual Community (PVC)(Afsarmanesh,&Galeano&Camarinha-Matos 2005)


Virtual Organisation Breeding Environment - VBE

• VBE represents an association of organizations and number of related supporting institutions, adhering to a base long term cooperation agreement, and adoption of common operating principles and infrastructures, with the main goal of increasing their preparedness towards rapid configuration of temporary alliances for collaboration in potential Virtual Organisation. Namely, when business opportunity is identified by one member (acting as a broker) a subset of VBE organizations can be selected to form a VE/VO.

(Camarinha-Matos&Afsarmanesh 2008)


Professional Virtual Community - PVC

• PVC is an alliance of professional individuals, and provide an

environment to facilitate the agile and fluid formation of

Virtual Teams (VTs) similar to that what VBE aims to provide

for VOs.

(Camarinha-Matos&Afsarmanesh 2008)
