Item Innovation and productivity in developing countries : a study of Argentine manufacturing firms' behavior (1992 - 2001)(2004)This paper analyses the determinants of innovative inputs and outputs and their impacts on manufacturing firms’ productivity in developing countries. The econometric results of the study in Argentina show that in house research and development (R&D) and technology acquisition expenditures have positive payoffs in terms of enhanced probability of introducing new products and/or processes to the market. In turn, innovators attain higher productivity levels than non-innovators. The results also show that large firms have a higher probability of engaging in innovation activities and of becoming innovators.Item Pharmaceutical biotechnology in Bangladesh : a background report for a "systems of innovation" review(UNI-MERIT, Maastricht, NL, 2006)Item Analysis of the current state of science, technology and innovation in the health sector(2006)Despite awareness of the importance of science, technology and innovation (ST&I) in improving the capacity for better healthcare, very limited attention and investment and has been directed to it. Without a strategy and national research agenda, the activities of SCT&I in the health sector in Mozambique occur in a context of improvisation, changing according to the plans of the leadership of the moment. The paper reviews the current state of affairs (2007) and suggests among other things that the National Laboratory for Medicines Quality Control (LNCQM)and the Ministry of Health (MOH) are significant institutions for enacting change.Item Public / private research and development and innovativeness in Peru(GRADE, Lima, PE, 2007)Item Evolving role of multinational enterprises in Latin American and Caribbean innovation systems(University of Sussex, Science and Technology Policy Research, Brighton, GB, 2008) Bell, Martin; Arza, Valeria; Giuliani, Elisa; Marin, AnabelItem University-industry linkages in Thailand : successes, failures, and lessons learned for other developing countries(Institute of Economic Research (Director Soo-Haeng Kim), Seoul National University, Seoul, KR, 2009)The study aims to identify successes and failures of university-industry linkages (UIL) in Thailand by combining data from company and university surveys. In general, UILs in Thailand are still weak. Determinants of UILs are identified in terms of university, firm level, or policy-related factors, as well as sectoral differences. Thai university-industrial linkages are strongest in the food processing sector. Most UIL projects are limited to consulting and technical service. The fragmentation of innovation systems in developing countries often results in a regional and technological mismatch between knowledge production and needs.Item University and industry linkages in Brazil : some preliminary and descriptive results(Institute of Economic Research (Director Soo-Haeng Kim), Seoul National University, Seoul, KR, 2009)The paper examines the patterns of university-industry linkages in Brazil, especially the role played by universities in the creation and diffusion of knowledge among firms. Among the 19,470 research groups in the Census of the Brazilian Research Council (CNPq) directory database (2004) 2,151 groups declared that they had interactions with 3,068 firms. Engineering and the agrarian sciences sectors show the widest university-industry linkages. New research projects and information exchange were the main benefits for research groups’ interactions with firms.Item Modes of knowledge transfer from PROs and firm performance : the case of Korea(Institute of Economic Research (Director Soo-Haeng Kim), Seoul National University, Seoul, KR, 2009)This study examines how different modes of knowledge transfer affect firm performance and how their impacts differ according to sector. Unique characteristics have rendered the knowledge industrialization systems of Korea underdeveloped. The analysis utilizes the Survey on Korean Industry-University/ Public Research Institutions (PRIs) relationships and conceptualizes the modes of knowledge transfer from public research organizations (PROs) to estimate their impact on firm performance.Item Nurturing the enterprising BoP : cases from the PBSP Business Advisory Program(Philippine Business for Social Progress, Manila, PH, 2009) Abella, Cynthia; Fe Arquiza, Mary; Melgar, Arlette; Tonog, Felix; Caccam, Eugenio M.Item China's horizontal university-industry linkage : where from and where to(Institute of Economic Research (Director Soo-Haeng Kim), Seoul National University, Seoul, KR, 2009) Jong-Hak, EunThe paper analyzes distinctive features of the university-industry linkage (UIL) in China compared with the case of the United States, and presents regression models that estimate the underlying causes of the Chinese characteristics. Studies on horizontal UIL in China show that it is still in its infancy. Against this backdrop, this study explores China’s horizontal UIL and gathers empirical evidence on its characteristics. Two separate surveys were administered (2007, 2008) one for Chinese university professors and another for Chinese firms.Item National innovation system in the era of liberalization : implications for science and technology policy for developing economies(Munich Personal RePEc Archive (MPRA), 2009) Singh, Lakhwinder; Singh, BaldevKnowledge generation and transmission of knowledge are essential characteristics of national innovation systems, which connect users and producers of knowledge and allow institutional arrangements to function as a feedback system. The paper investigates global trends in research and development (R&D) inputs and outputs of the economic liberalization era. Input and output indicators have been used with a view to unravel the dramatic structural changes occurring both in the economic and innovation structure of the global economy. As well, the paper examines the role of international agencies.Item University-industry interactions and innovation in India : patterns, determinants, and effects in select industries(Institute of Economic Research (Director Soo-Haeng Kim), Seoul National University, Seoul, KR, 2009) Joseph, K J; Abraham, VinojxAlthough there are only low levels of university-industry interaction at this point (2009) in India, the study suggests that firms which collaborated with universities and Public Research Institutions (PRIs) achieved a higher level of innovative ability. The article discusses the important channels of innovation transmission as perceived by firms; the status of university-industry interaction and driving factors; industry/firm level characteristics of interaction; and analyzes the innovative outcomes of such interactions. The study is based on two surveys, one involving 460 firms and the other involving 735 professors/scientists employed in universities, technical colleges, and publicly funded research institutes.
