Sven Ove Granstrand (born 11 August 1944 in Sweden) is a Swedish economist and management scholar known for his contributions to the field of industrial economics and management, with a particular focus on technological change, innovation and intellectual property rights. Granstrand's research has played an important role in shaping global understanding of the economics and management of technology, patents, innovation and business strategies and policies, earning him international recognition.[1]

In 1986, Granstrand was appointed as Regius Professor in Industrial Management and Economics at Chalmers University of Technology, where he became instrumental in building the Department of Technology Management and Economics.[2] At Chalmers he was also founder and chairman of the Center for Intellectual Property Studies (CIP),[2][3][4] founded in 1999 as a joint centre between Chalmers University of Technology and the School of Economics and Commercial Law at Göteborg University, running a.o. the CIP Symposia and Forum series. In 2000, together with leading European technology and innovation management scholars he co-founded the European Institute of Technology and Innovation Management (EITIM).[2][5] In 1993, he was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences[6] and became a lifetime fellow at Clare Hall College at the University of Cambridge (UK) in 2019.[7][8]

Granstrand has held many visiting professorships at various institutions worldwide, most notably at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR) for many years,[9][10] as well as SPRU, University of Sussex (1990), MIT Sloan School (1985-1986) and Academia Nauk in Moscow (during the perestroika).[1][2][11] In 2019, he was appointed to the Leverhulme Trust Visiting Professorship at the University of Cambridge, Institute for Manufacturing (IfM).[8][12][13] Through his visits he collaborated with and befriended many influential scholars, such as Christopher Freeman, Keith Pavitt,[14] James M. Utterback, Edwin Mansfield, Frederic M. Scherer, as well as Nathan Rosenberg, Paul David, Kenneth Arrow and many others at Stanford.[15] Granstrand has also hosted a number of international symposia in Scandinavia, such as the three Wallenberg Symposia on ‘Economics of Technology’ in 1991,[16] ‘Economics, Law and Intellectual property’ in 2000[17], and ‘Medicine, Technology and Economics’ in 2007.[18]

During his influential academic career Granstrand has served on many expert committees for the European Commission[19][20][21][22] and on various boards in academia and industry.[1]

Education

[edit]

Granstrand began his academic journey studying engineering physics but soon found his calling in economics.[2] He received a Master of Science (M.Sc.) from Chalmers University of Technology in Mechanical Engineering in 1969 as well as an M.Sc. degree in Mathematics in 1971 and an MBA from the Graduate School of Business in Göteborg in 1971. In 1972, he graduated with an M.Sc. in Operations Research from Stanford University as a PhD candidate. Returning to Sweden he received his PhD in Industrial Management and Economics from Chalmers University of Technology in 1979.[11]

His doctoral dissertation ‘Technology Management and Markets’ from 1979 (published by Pinter Publ. in 1982)[23] was one of the first worldwide in the then new field of Technology Management. Exploring R&D management and innovation in industrial organizations and the economics of technological change led him to conclude that quasi-integrated innovation systems (later termed as open innovation) was conducive to innovativeness.

As an emeritus he returned to mathematics and operations research and resumed studies for another PhD degree at the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers.[24]

Academic contributions and influence

[edit]

Granstrand's research interests span a broad range of topics in economics and management of technology, innovation and IP. In particular, he has studied technology management, corporate strategy and diversification in multi-technology corporations in Europe, Japan and the USA,[14][25][26] as well as various issues related to R&D, intellectual property and intellectual capital more generally.[27] His research is extensively based on primary data collected through dozens of large scale surveys and extensive field trips to many countries, visiting hundreds of firms, institutes and agencies and conducting well over a thousand interviews, providing deep insights in managerial behaviour beyond what is published.[2][9] He has also worked with mathematical modelling and simulation[28][29][30][31] and has throughout a long and diverse research career acquired experience in a broad range of research methods.

Orienting his work along the lines of thinking in Schumpeterian and evolutionary theories, Granstrand early on conceptualized and showed that quasi-integrated organizational forms for external acquisition and exploitation of new technologies (i.e. what later became termed inbound and outbound open innovation) likely was conducive to the innovativeness of industrial firms, whereby he contributed to transaction cost theory as developed by Oliver Williamson.[2][32] He also conducted and supervised a number of empirical studies of various technology acquisition and exploitation strategies besides in-house R&D, such as technology licensing, external technology collaborations, acquisitions and spin-offs of technology-based firms and technology intelligence.[33][32] Granstrand contributed to the theory of the firm by showing how multi-technology based firms emerge and engage in intertwined processes of technology diversification and product diversification.[34] Granstrand contributed to the theory of patent rights and their rationales by showing how IP rights can be used as tools for innovation governance.[35][36] He has also contributed to the economics of technology and innovation by developing a theoretical framework for techno-economic analysis of the dynamic and uncertain relations between technological bases, technical performance parameters,[37] innovations and economic performance with models of compound buyer-seller diffusion,[29][30] technological disruption, and an endogenizing feedback structure through investments in R&D and new technologies.[38] He contributed to the theorizing about the formation of intellectual capital and emergence of intellectual capitalism, much driven by ICTs, lowering transaction costs and enabling intangible products, in conjunction with strengthened IPRs enabling trade in intangibles.[39] Along the way Granstrand has also made contributions to innovation policy analysis[27] as well as to ecosystem analysis[40][41] and game theory.[31] He has also been an esteemed educator and lecturer in technology and IP management and innovation economics throughout his academic career, having developed several new courses and new course material.[42]

Granstrand published over 200 articles and reports and authored or edited nearly 20 books.[43] His book "The Economics of Management of Intellectual Property– Towards Intellectual Capitalism"[39] remains a highly-cited pioneering and comprehensive work and a go-to reference even after being published more than 20 years ago. Some of his other books are:

  • Evolving Properties of Intellectual Capitalism – Patents and Innovations for Growth and Welfare (Edward Elgar, 2018)[27]
