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.

<p>Public funded research and development (R&amp;D) institutes need to play a more active role in maximizing the utilization of their innovation/research results. One of the benefits of R&amp;D innovation result is in the form of economic, social, environmental and cultural benefits for the improvement of human quality of life. Drawing from evidence of the case studies of R&amp;D projects at Public Research Institute ‘A’ in Indonesia, we examined the technology transfer mechanisms into practical applications of the community. The mixed-method with good blend of qualitative and quantitative analysis is used in the case study. The case study demonstrates that there are five types of mechanisms for the technology transfer in this institution namely: direct transfer, through cooperation and interaction with multi stakeholders, patent and licensing, document transfer, and dissemination activities. The success of technology transfer to community were demonstrated by the increased ability of SMEs and farmers to replicate the technologies, increased their production, enlarge their market as well as increased new knowledge, skills, productivity, fertility of their rice fields, and decreased the use of chemical fertilizers by 40% and increased their household’s income by average about 30%.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: technology transfer, public research institutes, communities, innovation</p>

Resumo Este texto pretende discutir como a produção tecnológica vem sofrendo efeitos das transformações internacionais em termos de reorganização institucional dos centros de pesquisa. Técnicos e cientistas tiveram suas atividades a partir de novos formatos organizacionais que se estabelecem atualmente. A globalização e a internacionalização do campo científico representam tendências que têm afetado fortemente a constituição dos grupos sociais que conduzem a prática tecnológica em âmbito mundial. Hoje é possível detectar processos globais de articulação de empresas, laboratórios e instituições públicas de pesquisa criando uma ciência e uma tecnologia ao mesmo tempo desenraizadas e assimétricas. As questões colocadas para os países em desenvolvimento são como a internacionalização da pesquisa científica está impactando nas instituições nacionais e como as elites científicas nacionais se comportam frente aos novos parâmetros de financiamento da Pesquisas Tecnológicas. O intuito deste texto é verificar como essas tendências estão impactando na produção científica e tecnológica dos Institutos Públicos de Pesquisa. Para elucidar essas questões parte-se para um estudo de caso sobre o Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnológicas (IPT) que é ligado à USP e vinculado à Secretaria de Desenvolvimento Econômico, Ciência e Tecnologia do Estado de São Paulo.Palavras-chave Ciência e Tecnologia; pesquisa científica; pesquisadores; IPTAbstract This paper discusses how technological production has been suffering effects of international transformations in terms of institutional reorganization of research centers. Technicians and scientists had their activities redefined from new organizational formats that are established nowadays. The globalization and internationalization of the scientific field represent tendencies that have affected the constitution of social groups that lead technological practice worldwide. Today it is possible to detect articulation of global processes of companies, laboratories and public research institutions by creating science and technology while uprooted and asymmetric. The questions posed to developing countries is how internationalization of scientific research has been impacting national institutions; and how have national scientific elites been behaving before the new parameters of technological research funding. The aim of this text is to verify how these tendencies have been impacting the scientific and technological production of the Public Research Institute. To elucidate these questions we analyze the case of the Technological Research Institute (Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnológicas - IPT) that is embedded in USP and linked to the Development, Economy, Science and Technology Secretariat of São Paulo State.Keywords Science & Technology; scientific research; researchers; IPT
