Enabling Innovation Within Public Research Institutes: A Modelling Approach

In this period, the science sector plays a strategic role to increase the economic growth of countries and for this reason the measure and evaluation of research performance of its units (public research institutes) is needed. The most model for evaluate research is based on peer review, but when this method in Romania become inefficient the alternative was quantitative model One of the quantitative model is RELEV. The author used this model to evaluate more than 100 Romanian research entities: National Research Institutes, Universities, Research institutes of the Romanian Academy, Medical Units and Companies.

Research Institute

Access to external sources of technical knowledge is one of the keys to staying innovative for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The literature suggests that SMEs with a weak internal R&D capacity do not make much use of institutional sources like research institutes and universities. In this paper I investigate how trade associations can induce member SMEs to use a research institute. The case of a public research institute and SMEs in the textile industry in Kyoto, Japan is examined. Evidence from the case suggests that trade associations facilitate the use of the institute by expressing a collective ‘voice’ to the management of the institute. The effect is evident among active members in the use of services involving a large information gap as to their benefits. I also consider a shortcoming of the collective approach and suggest some measures to be taken on the part of research institutes.
