Vincent Mangematin (born 1965) is a French researcher and professor in management, specialized in Strategy, Strategic management of Innovation and Technology Management. He is currently professor and scientific director at Grenoble Ecole de Management.
Mangematin received his PhD in Administrative Sciences from Université Paris IX Dauphine in 1993 and is an ENS Cachan alumni. His thesis, entitled « Recherche coopérative et stratégie de normalisation » focuses on technological competition processes.
He has worked for INRA Grenoble as member of the scientific board of the department of economics. His research concerns procedures for the transfer of technology between education and industry. In 2000, he was dean of INRA, before joining Grenoble Ecole de Management. He has been a senior professor and scientific director since 2010 at GEM.
He has been an invited professor in many universities (Université du Québec, Georgia Institute of Technology, Chalmers University, Cass Business School) and in ESSEC Business School, he is also an associate professor in Dublin Institute of Technology.
Mangematin’s main research areas are strategic management of innovation, role of user communities in the innovation processes, the globalization of business education and the institutionalization processes in emerging and changing environments.
Mangematin’s research interest focuses on innovation processes in technological competition situations. He has successively worked on technology transfer, especially individuals’ movement between organisations and technology platforms, on creation and growth of high-tech startups, on clusters’ influence and on new business models emergence. His theorical perspectives are related to two key pillars : on the one hand, renewal of strategical approaches thanks to the business model concept, and on the other hand, roles of visibility, recognition and reputation within knowledge economy, especially in art fields (architecture), in scientific research and in business schools.
Mangematin also analyses in his work the conditions of change of the innovation dynamics in different industries: nanotechnology, biotechnology, cultural industry and business education.
Mangematin received a publication award in 2008 from the IAMOT (International Association for Management of Technology), making him one of the top 50 authors of technology and innovation management over the last five years, based on quantitative analysis of research from 2003 and 2007. [1]
Mangematin explored various strategies of knowledge creation and transmission within and amongst knowledge-based organisations. From the example of biotechnologies and nanotechnologies, he worked on firms evolution within nascent industries. He concentrated on the following topics : knowledge integration within project-based firms along the industry life cycle, [2] coupling between financial and scientific resources within high tech companies, spatial organisation of economic, technological and scientific activities in emerging sectors where sharing of research facilities is required.
Mangematin has been researching the underlying ambiguous roles of scientific and human capital in high tech organization. [3] His research regarding geography of innovation showed that :
In close cooperation with Esther Tippmann and Pamela Sharkey-Scott, he has also been analysing the construction and circulation of knowledge by middle managers in multinational firms [5]
Technology transfer strategies essentially lie in research alliances or patent and licensing but Mangematin focuses on alternative means of technology transfer like mobility of human resources from academia to industry or firm creation. His research is especially based on individual as central technology transfer mechanisms, [6] especially mid career around 40–50 years old researcher. He also focuses on management of shared research facilities as a mode of technology transfer. [7]

Innovation is the practical implementation of ideas that result in the introduction of new goods or services or improvement in offering goods or services. ISO TC 279 in the standard ISO 56000:2020 defines innovation as "a new or changed entity realizing or redistributing value". Others have different definitions; a common element in the definitions is a focus on newness, improvement, and spread of ideas or technologies.
The knowledge economy is an economic system in which the production of goods and services is based principally on knowledge-intensive activities that contribute to advancement in technical and scientific innovation. The key element of value is the greater dependence on human capital and intellectual property for the source of the innovative ideas, information and practices. Organisations are required to capitalise this "knowledge" into their production to stimulate and deepen the business development process. There is less reliance on physical input and natural resources. A knowledge-based economy relies on the crucial role of intangible assets within the organisations' settings in facilitating modern economic growth.
Research and development, known in Europe as research and technological development (RTD), is the set of innovative activities undertaken by corporations or governments in developing new services or products, and improving existing ones. Research and development constitutes the first stage of development of a potential new service or the production process.
Technology transfer (TT), also called transfer of technology (TOT), is the process of transferring (disseminating) technology from the person or organization that owns or holds it to another person or organization, in an attempt to transform inventions and scientific outcomes into new products and services that benefit society. Technology transfer is closely related to knowledge transfer.
A science park is defined as being a property-based development that accommodates and fosters the growth of tenant firms and that is affiliated with a university based on proximity, ownership, and/or governance. This is so that knowledge can be shared, innovation promoted, technology transferred, and research outcomes progressed to viable commercial products. Science parks are also often perceived as contributing to national economic development, stimulating the formation of new high-technology firms, attracting foreign investment and promoting exports.
The Grenoble Institute of Technology is a French technological university system consisting of eight engineering and management schools.
A technopole, commonly referred to as a high-technology cluster, refers to a center of high-tech manufacturing and information-based quaternary industry. The term was coined by Allen J. Scott in 1990 to describe regions in Southern California which showed a rapid growth in high technology fields. This term now has a broader scope to describe regions worldwide dedicated to technological innovation. Such regions can be centers of rapid economic and technological growth as a result of agglomeration effects.
A business cluster is a geographic concentration of interconnected businesses, suppliers, and associated institutions in a particular field. Clusters are considered to increase the productivity with which companies can compete, nationally and globally. Accounting is a part of the business cluster. In urban studies, the term agglomeration is used. Clusters are also important aspects of strategic management.
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to technology: collection of tools, including machinery, modifications, arrangements and procedures used by humans. Engineering is the discipline that seeks to study and design new technology. Technologies significantly affect human as well as other animal species' ability to control and adapt to their natural environments.

Innovation economics is new and growing field of economic theory and applied and experimental economics that emphasizes innovation and entrepreneurship. It comprises both the application of any type of innovations, especially technological, but not only, into economic use, in classical economics this is the application of customer new technology into economic use; but also it could refer to the field of innovation and experimental economics that refers the new economic science developments that may be considered innovative. In his 1942 book Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy, economist Joseph Schumpeter introduced the notion of an innovation economy. He argued that evolving institutions, entrepreneurs and technological changes were at the heart of economic growth. However, it is only in recent years that "innovation economy," grounded in Schumpeter's ideas, has become a mainstream concept".
