Abstract: This paper describes two novel complementary approaches for systematically enhancing the process of innovation and discovery. One approach is workshop-based and the other approach is literature-based. Both approaches have the common feature of exploring knowledge from very disparate technical disciplines and technologies, and transferring insights and understanding from one or more disparate technical areas to another. It is highly recommended that the approaches be combined into a single process. The integrated approach has the potential to be a major breakthrough for the systematic promotion of innovation and discovery.

Abstract: the distribution of embedded software related patent applications across 118 IPC patent classes has been determined for 1988, 1993 and 1998. using a bibliometric technique. The patent applications were identified using search words based on patent claims concerning various aspects of embedded software. The number of these patent application assignments each year increased at an annual rate of about 17% while the distribution over IPC patent classes narrowed only slightly. In terms of patent classification sections, in 1998 over 41% of all embedded software related patent application assignments were in section G (Physics) while section h (Electricity) contained another 36% of them. In terms of patent classes, the most important patent classes are H04 (Electric communication technique) and G06 (Computing, calculating, counting) accounting for a little more than 40% of all embedded software patent application assignments. In only two patent classes, H04 and G06, is there a majority of embedded software related patent applications.

Since patent application assignments are mainly according to the character of the problem to be solved and its solution, rather than the field of the application of the solution found, these statistics relate to the technical problems solved by the inventions. This is in contrast to economic statistics on the distribution of embedded software over branches of industry that characterizes the application of the problem solutions.

Abstract: Useful science is good science. According to Pavitt’s claim (Research Policy 27 (1998) 793), The aim of this paper is to show that the differences in innovation intensity of the scientific bodies (institutes) belonging to the largest public research institution in Italy (National Research Council, CNR) are affected rather by the carrying out of basic scientific activities than the development of research activities suitable to the innovation needs of firms. CNR has remarkable records of scientific achievements, mainly in basic science, medicine, biology, computer science and engineering, performed by 108 institutes spread over all Italian regions. Regarding its mission, a novel framework of CNR technology production has been introduced, in order to guide an empirical analysis into the determinants of the differences in technology production of CNR institutes. This framework relates the CNR patenting data and a selected set of scientific indicators, in order to single out the kind of link between technological production and scientific activities. The analysis shows the following results: There is a positive correlation between scientific activity, measured by bibliometric analysis, and technological production; the collaboration with other public or private institution and market oriented activity do not affect the innovation intensity of the CNR institutes.

Abstract: the distribution of software related patent applications in fifteen European countries, the United States and Japan has been determined for 1987, 1990, 1993, 1996 and 1999 using a bibliometric technique. The results were used for extrapolation to 2002 and 2005. The patent applications were identified using search words extracted from patent claims concerning various aspects of computer software. World-wide, the annual growth in the number of these patent applications is about 19%. In Europe and the United States there are signs of saturation in the growth rate while in Japan the growth continues to be exponential. The largest numbers of applications are assigned to IPC patent section G (Physics), in particular to classes G11, G09, G01, G06, G05 and G08. The next most populous class is h (Electricity) represented most strongly by classes H01, H03 and H04. Growth in the number of software related patent applications is especially strong in section C (Chemistry), represented most strongly by class C07 followed by classes C12 and C08, which may overtake section h in the near future. Most applications assigned to section B (Performing operations; transporting) are in class B60 while in section A (Human necessities) the most important class is A61. In Europe, Germany dominates patenting in general and software related patenting in particular. The number of European software related patent applications slackened considerably in 1999. This slackening is observable over the whole spectrum of patent sections and classes in which software related patents are significantly present. Since there was no corresponding slump in patenting in general, this slackening is interpreted as related to conditions in the software sector in particular rather than to general economic conditions or the like. The importance of the EPO as a receiving office for software related patent applications (priority establishing applications) has increased relative to national receiving offices during the nineties.

Abstract: Industry–academia collaboration has become a subject of great interest to academics, industry leaders and policymakers, as it is now acknowledged that such relationships are valuable for innovation. The aim of the study reported here is to explore collaboration trends over time in the field of membrane use for water treatment by carrying out bibliometric analysis of scientific publications related to the field. It is part of a broader project looking at factors that influence industry–academia collaborative research in the water sector. ThoUSAnd six hundred and seventy eight papers from eight journals from the years 1967 to 2001 were analysed for co-authorship patterns. ThoUSAnd three hundred and seventy papers from the last decade were examined for a snapshot view of inter-institutional, cross-disciplinary, industry–academic and international collaboration trends. Results show that the field is highly collaborative with the majority (87%) of papers involving two or more authors. In terms of industry–academic collaboration, there was an increase in the number of papers from 1994 onwards, and a very high proportion (91%) were cross-disciplinary.

Abstract: A bibliometric analysis of research papers in venture capital reveals an increasing interest over time by researchers across a broad spectrum of business disciplines. It also reveals the dominance of North American, particularly American researchers who entered the field early. Interestingly, the analysis demonstrates that two schools of entrepreneurial research compete for dominance in the venture capital framework. Much of the core research, the knowledge base, crosses disciplinary lines but is developed, from there-on, in a discipline specific fashion. Researchers whose primary interest is in finance and economics use quantitative, neo-classical models almost exclusively and publish, with the exception of the most cited authors, solely in economics and finance journals. These researchers tend to be more successful at achieving internal university funding for their projects while the second group, publishing in journals dedicated to management and entrepreneurship research, uses a broader array of theoretical techniques, apply both quantitative and qualitative methodologies and are more often funded externally. The core group of researchers, with reputations supported by large numbers of citations, appear to be able to raise funds both internally (through university bodies) and externally.

Abstract: In this paper, bibliometric (co-citation analysis) and social network analysis techniques are used to investigate the intellectual pillars of the technology management literature as reported in Technovation. Network analysis tools are also used to show that the research agenda of scholars from different parts of the world differ substantially from each other, and it is argued that such differences may have exacerbated the delays experienced in developing technology management as a respected academic discipline.

Abstract: Radio frequency identification (RFID) has been identified as one of the ten greatest contributory technologies of the 21st century. This technology has found a rapidly growing market, with global sales expected to top US $7 billion by 2008. An increasing variety of enterprises are employing RFID to improve their efficiency of operations and to gain a competitive advantage. To shed light on RFID trends, and contributions, a historical review and bibliometric analysis are included in this research. The bibliometric analytical technique was used to examine this topic in SCI journals from 1991 through November of 2005. Also, a historical review method was used to analyze RFID innovation, adoption by organizations, and market diffusion. From the analysis of the study’s findings, supply chain management (SCM), health industry, and privacy issues emerge as the major trends in RFID. Also, the contributions of the RFID industry and forecasts of technological trends were also analyzed, concluding that RFID will be more ubiquitously diffused and assimilated into our daily lives in the near future.

Abstract: As the importance of patient safety increases for hospital management, many health care providers have begun to use innovative mobile technology to make their procedures more accurate and efficient, and to reduce the risk of human error. This paper explores an innovative mobile approach for patient safety and health care services in a Taiwan hospital, where a web-based patient safety services (PSS) system was implemented to enhance the efficiency of diagnosis and patient safety. The functions and operating procedures of the PSS system are introduced. Furthermore, the contributions of the PSS system over a six-month period of clinical use are analyzed. Finally, the managerial implications of mobile PSS are discussed.

Abstract: Nanotechnology promises significant improvements of advanced materials and manufacturing techniques, which are critical for the future competitiveness of national industries. This paper is concerned with the sectoral innovation system in nanotechnology in a global perspective with an aim to understand worldwide developments in nanotechnology research from its emerging stage. The research highlights cross-country comparisons, actors and institutions in the innovation system based on quantitative method (bibliometrics and tech mining). The authors present also the varying involvement of academia, public research institutions and commercial companies in relevant research by finding main research contributors, discourse development, as well as clusters or knowledge networks of affiliations and countries. The research findings show that the significant output of commercial companies in Japan and the United States is different from the situation in the European Union, where the relevant scientific activities are dominated by academic and government research institutions. The research reveals the learning patterns of nanotech innovation structure for the science pole. The findings can be particularly useful for forming technology strategies, science and technology policies by revealing strengths and weaknesses of the emerging innovation system in nanotech, existing country-level competencies and differences.

Abstract: The inventive capacity of South African universities and researchers is investigated through analysis of university patent applications. Patent applications to the South African Patent office from 1996 to 2006 are used as an indicator of inventive capacity. The investigation determines, for the first time, patenting activities of local universities at the South African Patent Office for the past 10 years and it identifies the performance of faculties and departments. We suggest that patent analysis of local patent offices in developing countries provides a more comprehensive picture of inventive activity than the analyses in the main patent offices in USA and Europe.

The assertion that industrial experience affects the inventiveness of academic staff is also investigated. The study finds that most inventors or co-inventors held at least one position in industry, or in some cases, specialized parastatals (non-university institutions) prior to patent application. The study supports the idea that experience and the professional trajectory of scientists through migration from industry to university leads to an increase of researchers’ scientific and technical human capital which is convertible into high performance or inventive capacity. We argue that this linkage is valid equally in developed and developing countries (like South Africa) and that universities internationally wishing to improve their entrepreneurial character should aim to employ academic with industrial prior experience.

Abstract: In this paper, we performed a comparative study in two research domains in order to develop a method of detecting emerging knowledge domains. The selected domains are research on gallium nitride (GaN) and research on complex networks, which represent recent examples of innovative research. We divided citation networks into clusters using the topological clustering method, tracked the positions of papers in each cluster, and visualized citation networks with characteristic terms for each cluster. Analyzing the clustering results with the average age and parent-children relationship of each cluster may be helpful in detecting emergence. In addition, topological measures, within-cluster degree z and participation coefficient P, succeeded in determining whether there are emerging knowledge clusters. There were at least two types of development of knowledge domains. One is incremental innovation as in GaN and the other is branching innovation as in complex networks. In the domains where incremental innovation occurs, papers changed their position to large z and large P. On the other hand, in the case of branching innovation, they moved to a position with large z and small P, because there is a new emerging cluster, and active research centers shift rapidly. Our results showed that topological measures are beneficial in detecting branching innovation in the citation network of scientific publications. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Full Text: 2009\Technovation29, 481.pdf

Abstract: This paper proposes an approach for creating and utilizing keyword-based patent maps for use in new technology creation activity. The proposed approach comprises the following sub-modules. First, text mining is used to transform patent documents into structured data to identify keyword vectors. Second, principal component analysis is employed to reduce the numbers of keyword vectors to make suitable for use on a two-dimensional map. Third, patent ‘vacancies’, defined as blank areas in the map that are sparse in patent density but large in size, are identified. The validity of the vacancy is then tested against Such criteria as technological criticality and technological trends. If a vacancy is judged as meaningful, its technological features are investigated in detail to identify the potential for new technology creation. The procedure of the proposed approach is described in detail by employing an illustrative patent database and is implemented into an expert system for new technology creation. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

Full Text: 2009\Technovation29, 498.pdf

Abstract: This work investigates public-private research collaboration between Italian universities and domestic industry, applying a bibliometric type of approach. The study is based on an exhaustive listing of all co-authored publications in international journals that are jointly realized by Italian university scientists and researchers in the private sector; this listing permits the development of a national mapping system for public-private collaboration that is unique for its extensive and representative character. It is shown that, in absolute terms, most collaborations occur in medicine and chemistry, while it is industrial and information engineering that shows the highest percentage of co-authored articles Out of all articles in the field. In addition, the investigation empirically examines and tests several hypotheses concerning the qualitative-quantitative impact of collaboration on the scientific production of individual university researchers. The analyses demonstrate that university researchers who collaborate with those in the private sector show research performance that is superior to that of colleagues who are not involved in such collaboration. But the impact factor of journals publishing academic articles co-authored by industry is generally lower than that concerning co-authorships with other entities. Finally, a further specific elaboration also reveals that publications with public-private co-authorship do not show a level of multidisciplinarity that is significantly different from that of other publications.

Abstract: This paper addresses how countries placed a different intellectual focus on the management of technology and innovation (MOT) research in ten leading MOT specialty journals published in 2000-2009. The result confirms that each country has quite diverse relative research interests and performances in MOT domains. Among the top seven leading countries in MOT research, the US has a comparative advantage in project management (PJM); the UK has one in social change (SCH); and Spain has one in intellectual property (IPR). The other four countries show much more dynamic observations. Netherlands has clearly a comparative advantage in technology policy (TPO), while Taiwan has one in technology analysis and forecast (TAF), Germany in entrepreneurship (ENT), and Italy in technology transfer and commercialization (TTC). This paper contributes to the MOT community by providing much clearer evidence of how countries become differently positioned in the global MOT arena. These empirical findings demonstrate significant differences in the comparative competitiveness of countries involved in MOT research that were little known earlier. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Full Text: 2014\Technovation34, 559.pdf

Abstract: Experts have more difficulty identifying reverse salients in R&D because of increasing technological complexity and a shortened technology lifecycle. As an alternative, we suggest a new and systematic method of identifying and forecasting reverse salients using QED (quality function deployment), bibliometric analysis, and TIA (trend impact analysis). QED allows users to systematically identify and prioritize reverse salients. An integration of QFD, bibliometric analysis, and TIA makes it possible to specify key performance indicators of reverse salient in order to identify the performance gap between current and market-required performance and to make a probabilistic forecast about when reverse salients will be corrected. Our method will help managers identify a top priority reverse salient, forecast its future, and thus make better R&D decisions with regard to market requirements. A carbon nanotube biosensor technology is used as an example. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
