Managing Innovation
INTRODUCTION
The management of the innovation process is an extremely demanding discipline for converting:
However, the capability of organizations in initiating and sustaining innovation is to great extent determined by the widely local/national context within which they operate. This is essential as
“innovation within” requires a favorable “context outside”
i.e. to look out of the company’s window at the business environment (economic and social conditions play a major role)

INTRODUCTION
QUESTION: Would it be easy for the latecomers to reach maturity in today’s economy? How?
ANSWER
To be able to create high-value-added & knowledge-based products/services, would appear to be a gigantic task for the latecomer-nation(s).
The state must play a significant role:• in its regulatory and redistribution functions• through strategic intervention into
infrastructure development and technological capacity formulation
human capacity formation

INTRODUCTION
QUESTION
For Schumpeter the idea of being entrepreneurial was not simply buying something cheap and selling it for a quick profit. It was bound up with new products and new methods of production; by implication it was long-term rather than short term in nature. Is our understanding of entrepreneurship different now?
7
Managing Innovation
INTRODUCTION
ANSWER
No, it is exactly the same. Entrepreneur is consider “one who creates a new business in the face of risk and uncertainty for the purpose of achieving profit and growth by identifying opportunities and assembling the necessary resources to capitalize on them.”Characteristics:success or failure rests on his/her shouldershe/she has to pay the bill personallyhe/she owns the building and/or equipment if the business fails, the personal wealth of the
owner can be normally used to cover the business’s debt, which may lead to a compete wiped out

NATIONAL INNOVATION SYSTEM [NIS]
A national innovation system [NIS]is broadly defined as the structures and
institutions by which a country’s innovation activities are encouraged and facilitated, both directly and indirectly
orThe network of public and private
institutions within an economy that fund and perform R&D, translate the results of R&D into commercial innovations and effect the diffusion of new technologies.

Managing Innovation
KEY ASPECTS OF A NIS
The key aspect of a NIS, according to Archibugi & Michie* are:
1. Education and training
2. Science and technology capabilities
3. Science and technology strengths and weakness
4. Industrial structure
5. Interactions within the innovation system

KEY ASPECTS OF A NIS
In general, governments are responsible for formal provision of education
High rates of participation to education is a key to national economic growth
Qualitative issues such as high-quality graduates in the new technologies - IT and biotechnology – are important and governments are keenly aware of the need to have them.

Countries differ in their areas of specialization and the intensity of R&D activities.
Japan is a good example, with its intense investment in R&D in the fast-growing consumer electronics industry in the 1970s-80s
India’s growth in software development is a more recent example of building competitive advantage

KEY ASPECTS OF A NIS
Large-scale investment in R&D are carried out by country’s large firms, as only they are able to undertake the long-term R&D programmes and the accompanying risks. Research has shown that the share of large firms is on average about 49%.
Of course large spending in R&D does not necessarily ensure successful innovation

QUESTION
What is your opinion about small firms. Do they play a role?
4. Industrial Structure
26
Managing Innovation
KEY ASPECTS OF A NIS
ANSWER
Yes indeed. Small firms can also play a role, as has been the case in high-tech areas.
The small start-up is flexible and less bureaucratic than the established firms; they may also be rich source in ideas. A good example is Microsoft.
In US, venture capital for start-up companies has been more developed than in either Europe or Japan. In fact, the rapid growth of biotechnology start-ups in US in the 1980s owned much to funding by venture capital.

28
Managing Innovation
KEY ASPECTS OF A NIS
Interactions contribute to innovation activities within a country and to their diffusion. They can be either: a formal coordination or in-formal networking.
5. Interactions within the Innovation System
29
Managing Innovation
KEY ASPECTS OF A NIS
Government guidance differs substantially from country to country. See the examples of Japan vs. ex-Soviet Union.
The co-ordination role of the Japan’s Ministry of International Trade and Industry is often cited for its crucial role in the country’s economic development
Strong state guidance in the ex-Soviet Union, by contrast, was much less successful and the separate research institutes for each industry sector had only weak links with each other. Ex-Soviet Union had concentrate on military and space projects where it spent about 3% of its GNP. This together with the rigid command economy, left little scope for civilian innovation links to develop
A more (recent) trend globally is the growing interaction between academic researchers and firms.
5. Interactions within the Innovation System
30
Managing Innovation
KEY ASPECTS OF A NIS
There is no one model of innovation system that can be said to be superior in generating and diffusing technological innovation
Innovation is linked to economic growth
Countries show a good deal of diversity in their NISs
Simple quantitative comparisons of R & D expenditure tell only a partial story
Conclusions [1/3]
31
Managing Innovation
KEY ASPECTS OF A NIS
Social, cultural and historical differences have an influence on the ways in which learning, scientific curiosity and entrepreneurial flair are allowed to flourish in national environment.
Government initiatives are more influential in some countries than in others.
Huge investment in industrial R&D in Germany and Japan in the post war period was crucial in their efforts to catch up economically.
Conclusions [2/3]
32
Managing Innovation
KEY ASPECTS OF A NIS
The ability to assimilate and imitate innovations from elsewhere as the basis of further local innovative developments has been a particular feature of Asian tigers.
While the process of technology transfers can be the basis for innovation for all nations, technical change has proceeded unevenly among countries as the adaptation of technology and use in local environment is still dependent on diverse national systems.

PORTER’S DIAMOND
• Why does CH excel in the production and export of precision instruments and pharmaceuticals?• Why does Japan do so well in the auto industry?• Why do Germany and US do so well in the chemical industry?
Porter claims that there are four attitudesof a nation that shape the environmentin which local firms compete, see figure:
FACTOR CONDITIONS: skilled labor, necessary infrastructure
DEMAND CONDITIONS: the nature of home demand for the industry’s product or service
RELATED & SUPPORTING INDUSTRIES: the presence or absence in a nation of suppliers & related industries
FIRM STRATEGY, STRUCTURE & RIVALRY: how firms are created, organized and managed and the nature of domestic rivalry.

In parallel to Porter’s industry framework, the model tries to highlight the possible role the state can play in relation to innovation
It underlines a firm’s relationship with: Customers, i.e buyers Factor conditions, i.e. labor, capital, raw materials Related and supporting industries, i.e. technology providers,
and Other institutions that help facilitate strategic orientation
and innovative capabilities

THE ROLE OF THE STATE IN INNOVATION
The state can impact:
1. As a financier of R&D and major purchaser, e.g. in 1995, US spent $ 71.4 bio for R&D (defense, health, space, energy, environment, agriculture, general science) funding industrial research labs, universities, non-profit labs and federally funded research R&D centers.
There also are indirect ways of financing R&D, such as tax exemptions, subsidies, loan guarantee, export credits and form of protection, e.g. Boeing paid no taxes between 1970 and 1984, and also received a tax refund amounting to $ 285 mio.
38
Managing Innovation
THE ROLE OF THE STATE IN INNOVATION
The state can impact:
2. As a major purchaser, the state can also reduce uncertainty and create favorable cash flows for firms by its willingness to pay higher (monopolistic) prices for early models.
39
Managing Innovation
THE ROLE OF THE STATE IN INNOVATION
The state can impact:
3. Through education and other societal actions, e.g. in the formation of highly qualified workforce Interdependence between state and
society may create a favorable national culture which welcomes scientific development, and remote the potential for conflict between economic interests and social forces, cultural traditions and new trends
40
Managing Innovation
THE ROLE OF THE STATE IN INNOVATION
The state can impact:
4. Through regulation of competition. A very critical area for the reproduction/expansion of the capitalist system, as the state can promote the system by preventing monopolies that can result in under-innovation and by protecting the society against possible abuse by companies.
[see case study - Microsoft takes antitrust case to Supreme Court]

QUESTION: Microsoft practices
THE ROLE OF THE STATE IN INNOVATION
You are a member of an international ethics commission assembled by the World Trade Organization [WTO] that has been asked to assess the global tactics of Microsoft in recent years. A primary issue is whether Microsoft took unfair advantage of its powerful position in the computer industry by using “strong-arm tactics” on software customers throughout the world, and by crushing weaker rivals. Regardless of whether or not Microsoft is guilt of anticompetitive acts in a legal sense, do you believe Microsoft has conducted itself in a ethical manner in its business dealing? Has it abused its power in the industry, or is Microsoft simply a tough competitor? Do you think the WTO should develop a policy to control such competitive tactics of global powerhouse like Microsoft?

THE ROLE OF THE STATE IN INNOVATION - COUNTRIES
JAPAN• It provides extensive support and subsides to promote industrial
innovation• A good example of state role is TRINITRON television (a
dominant electronics technology that dominated home electronics for more than 20 years) which brought together:
→ universities→ state organizations such as the Ministry of International
Trade and Industry→ sector organizations→ business enterprises
• The Japanese model has been acknowledge by many for a long time but it has also received severe criticism by Porter et al., as a result of the recent economic slowdown. However, the weakness mainly attributed to:
1. the lack of concern for strategy in Japanese companies which have been stuck in between two competitive strategies of cost and quality, and
2. low profitability

THE ROLE OF THE STATE IN INNOVATION
USA
• It spends ~trillion dollars in universities and governmental labs
• It performs half of the word’s basic research • US tries to create positive effects in the
economy by letting the market achieve the most efficient allocation of resources with minimal possible intervention [it follows the so-called Chicago School paradigm for promoting competitiveness and innovation, which created a belief in the free market to maximize innovation and productivity].

GENERALTwo extremes:
PREDATORY STATES which captures most of the funds
in the economy and relocate them in the form of “rents” to a small
group of population (thus impending the growth
potential in the state)
DEVELOPMENTAL STATESwhich, in some states, is used to achieve a major transformation
of the economy and society

INNOVATION IN CAPITALISM
Waves and growth in capitalismIn these Kondratief waves, the capitalist economy grew on the
basis of major innovations in product, process and organization with accompanying shifts in the social arena.
Each wave comes to an end due to its major short-comings and the successive fundamentally restructures and improves those weakness
The decline of the previous wave gives birth to the next one which offer features able to give solutions to the weakness of the earlier phase
Each major phase of innovation produced a “star” industry or industry branch, which seemed to affect the way the economy was organized.
Product, process and organization created by technological development became universal and cheaply available to a vast population, which, in turn, created the economic shift.
The leap forward provided by a “star” industry(ies) resulted in a major transformation of the economy and economic relations – given that other factors such as demand, finance, industrial and social conditions were favorable.

QUESTION
Networks constitute a key organizational attribute to the current wave of economic growth. Does this mean it is not possible for a firm to be innovative on its own?
63
Managing Innovation
Initially, all were exporters of raw materials and importers of higher-technology products
Both, they transformed from simple technology sectors towards higher-value-added and heavy industries (which, by the way, was the key to their success)
This was achieved with the complementary use of:
Import-substituting industrialization (ISI), and
Export-oriented economic policies (EOI)
Comparison between Latin American & Asian Tigers
Similarities DifferencesThe Asian tigers after the
initial phase of ISI, they opened up to international competition through an EOI regime in contrast to Latin American countries (and Turkey)
