Abstract
Promising to drive economic sustainability in research centers while preserving research quality, linked innovation is framed in this chapter as the connected process between research and commercialization, a route in which the investigation done is transformed into economic value to make the process sustainable. It is a track that interconnects two aspects: the pull of market needs and the push of knowledge. Perceived demand will be met only if the appropriate knowledge is available, and innovation will happen only if there is a market for it. Eight symptoms are then described for identifying the gaps in the innovation process, called broken innovation, through the examination of four challenges: performance metrics, market understanding, industry collaborations, and innovation ecosystems.
