Government Technology Procurement and Innovation Theory
Innovation Systems and European Integration (ISE) A research project funded by the Targeted Socio-Economic Research (TSER) program of the European Commission (DG XII) under the Fourth Framework Program, European Commission (Contract no. SOE1-CT95-1004, DG XII SOLS), coordinated by Professor Charles Edquist of the Systems of Innovation Research Program (SIRP) at Linköping University (Sweden). Sub-Project 3.2.2: Public Technology Procurement as a Policy Instrument Government Technology Procurement and Innovation Theory Submitted to the Commission : March, 1998 Charles Edquist Leif Hommen Department of Technology and Social Change, Linköping University S-581 83 Linköping, Sweden TEL:+ 46-(0)13-282260 FAX:+46-(0)13-284461 E-mail:[email protected] Abstract: The paper deals with public technology procurement as an instrument for innovation and industrial policy. It relates public technology procurement to various innovation theories, concentrating on those contributing to the development of a user-producer interaction perspective on public technology procurement. This perspective is utilized to identify and discuss past problems and future prospects of public technology procurement, at a national as well as a European (EU) level. The concern with developing policy implications is reflected throughout the paper. A number of different national ‘models’ of public technology procurement are compared and contrasted, and the political and institutional problems associated with public technology procurement are explicitly and critically discussed. The EC procurement rules are also discussed in relation to the theory and practice of public technology procurement, in both the main text and a lengthy appendix. The section devoted to policy implications focuses on the EU level. -

SPINE EDQUIST ET AL Cyan Magenta Yellow Black 22 mm Public Procurement for Innovation for Innovation Procurement Public ‘This is a very timely book! Public procurement for innovation has become a prominent tool of demand side innovation policy in recent years. A better understanding of the underlying Eu-SPRI Forum assumptions and intentions, as well as the opportunities of this bundle of instruments and their on Science, limitations, is highly relevant for both innovation policy analysts, students and practitioners. Technology and The book presents the latest knowledge and insights of world-leading experts in the Innovation field of public procurement for innovation.’ Policy – Stefan Kuhlmann, University of Twente, the Netherlands, President of the European Forum for Studies of Policies for Research and Innovation Public procurement for innovation (PPI) is a demand side innovation policy instrument. It occurs when a public organisation places an order for the fulfillment of certain functions or needs, which cannot be met at that moment or within a reasonable period of time through a new or Public Procurement improved product. Providing evidence of the benefits to public and private actors from selective use of this policy for Innovation instrument, this book illustrates the requirements and constraints for its operationalization. It significantly improves our knowledge of the key determinants of effective public procurement Edited by aiming to promote innovative capabilities in the supplying sectors and beyond. It also provides case studies and conceptual contributions that help extend the frontier of our understanding CHARLES EDQUIST, NICHOLAS S.

Innovation, Europe and Policy Reflections on innovation studies Luc Soete Maastricht University The Netherlands UNU-MERIT 25th anniversary, Vaeshartelt, 28th November, 2014 First a parenthesis on long waves and my days at SPRU • Long waves: I had my own personal interpretation of long wave performance that got most interest and comments from Marie Jahoda, Chris Freeman and Keith Pavitt: – Based on an article of Marie Jahoda in Futures on generation conflicts; – Proposals for alternative thoughts on marriage across generations – a first draft was written, never published though... • Wouldn’t dare to go in more technical details here but the main idea was that men and women were intertemporarily “mismatched”: men displayed a long cyle of (sexual) boom and dust; women by contrast witnessed a continuous gradual growth path leveling of at mid-life but staying more or less constant till old age. • Marie Jahoda and I therefore proposed to reform marriage from two to three, now with intergenerational partners: a younger man, a middle-aged woman and an older man, over time opposite sex partners would be added, so in the next phase a younger women, a middle aged man and an older woman. • Our proposal would reduce divorce rates, solve intergenerational conflicts, reduce child raising and household costs and increase social cohesion in society. • Unfortunately the paper on the Jahoda-Soete cycle was never published... The Jahoda-Soete cycle • In line with the long wave hype of the time at SPRU, we considered a four phase cycle: – In the first phase -

Abstract: Knowledge Sharing: a Global Challenge
Parallel working group: Knowledge Sharing Knowledge sharing: a global challenge Luc Soete (UNU-MERIT) Abstract While there remains a huge concentration of knowledge production activities in the developed countries, the last twenty years have seen a major shift in world wide access to codified knowledge. The role of information and communication technologies has been instrumental here, as has been that of more capital and organisational embedded forms of technology transfer such as foreign direct investment. Today one of the most important enabling features for development is knowledge access. Access is, however, not required to knowledge under such codified or capital embedded forms alone, but also to the tools and (legal) ability to replicate and improve upon knowledge. For developing countries it is no longer access to knowledge as passive producers/consumers which fitted well with the old development model where developing countries would be treated as consumers who would not have the ability to innovate or, if more industrially advanced, would imitate production methods developed elsewhere. The cases reviewed in the paper show that while access to codified knowledge may build skills through passive absorption (e.g. through textbooks), access to technology in a form that can be shared and modified without entry barriers can build advanced skills and compensate for the absence of formal training. While access to knowledge as a passive process is politically framed within the language of development aid, access to technology as a way of providing the right and ability of participation is analogous to the arguments favouring free trade: developing countries can then be seen as providing a resource of potential innovators, rather than merely using existing innovations from the developed world. -

Rhoda Ahoba-Sam iii ABSTRACT The world over, universities are increasingly challenged to make economic contributions to their host cities. Universities are particularly the target of this challenge because of the belief that knowledge intensive institutions are critical to the building of a knowledge-based economy and thus increasing regional competitiveness. Subsequently, the weight placed on universities has resulted in a stretch in universities’ traditional missions of research and teaching to include a third mission. This so-called third mission is operationalised in universities’ engagement with their communities as characterised by collaborations with industry partners, among others. It is understood that by establishing close ties with industry for instance, both entities could together improve the fortunes of their communities through problem solving and creativity that contribute to innovation. Simply, University-Industry Collaborations (UICs) play a key in the regional innovation process. This thesis takes a determined stance.
