Challenges: embracing this confusion
Nowotny, The Cunning of Uncertainty, 2016
Uncertainty is interwoven into human existence. It is a powerful incentive in the search for knowledge and an inherent component of scientific research.Science continues to transform uncertainties into certainties but this certainty always remains provisional.Such is the cunning of uncertainty: it appears at unexpected moments, it shuns the straight line, takes the oblique route and sometimes the unexpected shortcut.The more we acknowledge the cunning of uncertainty, the less threatened we feel by it.This message is vital for politicians and policy makers: do not be tempted by small, short term, controllable gains to the exclusion of uncertain, high-gain opportunities.
Two change agents: scientists and entrepreneurs. Leading creative destruction.

Opportunities in the Knowledge Triangle (ECOOM, 2012)In line with previous research, the findings show that, in general, co-ownership of patented inventions presents important challenges in appropriating value. However, making a more fine-grained distinction between different types of partner (i.e. intra-industry, inter-industry, and university), we observe that these appropriation challenges are most pronounced when firms co-patent with firms situated within the same industry. This finding suggests that, to assess the extent to which co-patenting may restrict a firm’s ability to reap the commercial benefits of collaborative R&D efforts, it is important to consider the extent to which partners operate in overlapping exploitation domains. When both partners are active in different exploitation domains, as is likely the case with inter-industry partners, sharing ownership of the knowledge accruing from collaborative R&D is less likely to restrict their ability to appropriate the commercial benefits of the technology at hand. In contrast, when firms are active within the same industry, there is a high likelihood that – for a certain number of application domains – shared IP is associated with competing exploitation strategies, reducing value appropriation for the focal firm. At the same time, we observe a significant positive relationship between co-patents with universities and market valuation. This result is likely to derive from the lack of appropriation risks from co-patenting with these types of partner.

Meaning: a new innovation dimensionFrankl, Man’s Search for Meaning (1959):
The meaning of your life is to help others find the meaning of theirs.
Translating this statement to the entrepreneurial venture:
The meaning of my product or service is to help others find its meaning to them.
