摘要:

AbstractThe interface between science and technology is investigated by examining some important and neglected patterns of interaction. Some specific policy issues emerge about interdisciplinary research, interactions between scientists and technologists, the role of private industry, and the transfer of findings to other points on the interface. This inevitably raises the question of economics. The wrong set of economic policies can guarantee the failure of any specific set of S&T policies, no matter how ingeniously conceived.

摘要:

AbstractThe difference in the treatment of firms in business management and in economics is marked: in the former they are complex organisms and in the latter simple entities. This essay introduces the concept of core capabilities which mould organizational capabilities. Technical advance has been instrumental in economic growth but it could not have taken place without new patterns of organization to guide and support the R&D.

摘要:

AbstractIn the light of the SPRU tradition and the promises of evolutionary theories, this outlines some promising directions for an on-going research programme. These include the scientific status of evolutionary models themselves, and the processes of co-evolution between a techno-economic domain and the institutions which influence the generation and diffusion of technical knowledge. The normative consequences are considered in terms of technological, industrial and broader macroeconomic policies.

摘要:

AbstractWhat are the determinants of differences in the rate of innovation amongst companies and countries? This is a yawning gap in our knowledge. Recent research into the technological strategies of the world's leading companies shows that home countries matter, if only because the overwhelming proportion of their technological activities are located there. Standard general recipes about strategy are not very useful, since they neglect the heavily constraining influence of each company's size and principal product market. Companies' internal organisation and criteria for allocating resources matter greatly for their technological strategies, but governments matter less.

摘要:

AbstractA tragedy may be unfolding in Eastern Europe with the current policies aimed almost exclusively at dismantling Cold War controls. Failure to adopt policies aimed at restructuring industry and technology could risk prosperity and democracy. We must give aid generously, but also give concrete forms of co-operation including technical, environmental and social.

摘要:

AbstractUsing Argentina as an example, the universal validity of the neo-classical growth theory is refuted on the grounds that firms, markets and institutions behave differently in different environments. In a situation of shifting international technological frontiers undermining a country's competitive advantage, should the government admit to a gradual decline in its relative position or try to induce an industrial restructuring process? The latter option may well lead to deep negative welfare effects.

摘要:

AbstractThe World Bank has to balance the financial and development aspects of its mandate and may thus appear slow and cautious. However, the signs are that it will become a significant user of the results of S&T policy research. This research must be directed towards developing countries as well as the industralised nations.

摘要:

AbstractA new techno-paradigm is emerging in technological organisation. This is investigated from the point of view of seven categories: manufacturing companies, business practice, R&D activities, technology development, innovation patterns, technology diffusion and international co-operation. In a world in which techno-nationalism is the prevailing mood, international co-operation through option sharing may offer the conceptual breakthrough which will make techno-globalism the new reality.
