| Summary: | In this paper we investigate the existence and evolution of bioeconomic projects of OMV
Group, a major global player in the oil and gas industry. We further study the intellectual
capital components utilized by OMV Group in supporting these bioeconomic actions. We
conduct a longitudinal case study over the 2010-2016 period and illustrate with the case of
OMV Group how the oil and gas organizations mobilize various types of intellectual capital
to engage in bioeconomic projects. Since the global importance of bioeconomy increased
exponentially in the last years, we employ a theoretical framework recently proposed in the
bioeconomic literature to ascertain the type of vision followed in the bioeconomic projects
and its evolution. We find that the number of bioeconomic projects proposed by our case
organization increased over time, and that the projects’ focus evolved from bio-technology
and bio-resources to bio-ecology, which has the potential of providing more long-term
sustainable outcomes. |
