Technology transfer: A system analysis approach to the study of its features

Abstract: The objective, cornponenta, organization, constraints, eavi rorrment, adaptation, and development features of a technology transfer systeIn are enume rated and discussed with illustrative exampl.es Irorn published papers. Three rnodel s -Clark and Guba, Castasia, and Efercett Rogert--.of the technology diffusion process are presented. The factors influencing the diflusicn of technology Irom one country to another, Irom one enterprise to another in one and the same country, and froIn one person to another within a group or an institution are men-, tioned. The psy<;holog'(cal, educational,. .hl etortcat, political, econoznical, sociological and cultural characteristics of the giver and receiver of techno-. logical know-how and the di fferences in their seientific and technological developInent and inforznation richness are Irnpoeta nt factors to be taken into account in designing a technology transfer systezn. The recommendations of Castasia regarding technology transfer and national policy on science and technology in Asian countries in'the perspective of the overall zw,tional development of these countries are ,qlloted.

Citation of periodicals

Abstract: In the eighteenth century and earlier abbreviated forms were used even to cite book titles. Nobody could then possibly have foreseen th~ present day proliferation of periodicals particularly in the sciences. The practice of using abbreviated titles, once convenient for a much smaller number of periodicals, has given us quite a few problems to solve when applied to the greatly increased number of periodicals. Complications arise because of titles almost similar in form in the same as well as different languages and countries, the publications of corporate bodies and the transposition of words, the inconsistent use of capitals and small letters in the abbreviated forms, etc. Opinions differ as to the principles to be followed in the compilation of standard interna.tionallists of abbreviated forms or titles of periodicals. Hence we have more than one such international list.

Documentation of the history of Medicine in India (Documentation in many lands 8)

Abstract: The various activities for the promotion of the study, research, collection of documents, and documentation of the histurs of medicine in India in the last fifteen: years, are briefly described. The annual bibliography, Recent Indian medical historiography, for the period 1954-61 i B ana~ lysed from different points of view. Indi~l contri bution on l.ndian medical hi s t or y has risen by about 65 per cent, while the for-· eign contribution to the subject has declined by about)O per cent, in the 8-year period. Over 80 per cent of the papers ara in English. Only 10 per cent of the paper e are in Indian languages. Among the latter, Telugu, Hindi, and Urdu take up about 90 pe:~· cent. Ancient Indian medicine is the suuject most widely wri tten upon. The hi stor;y of the development of· medicine in Indi a f ror., about the 10th century to the 19th century AD has received little attention. Eighty per cent of the articles are to be found in 50 periodicals. Out of the 2Q8 periodicals indexed during 1954-61, a little over 80 per cent of the papers are to be found in the 111 Indian periodicals. Coverage of the articles by certain indexing periodicals is also indicated. Periodicals from India, Great Britain, German~, and USA together contain about 95 per cent of the papers. About 80 per cent of the papers have seeped into periodicals devoted to subjects other than history of medicine and the history of science. 1he possiole reasons for some of the features mentioned are advanced. Periodicals in the General Medicine group gave over 50 papers per year but the number or'

A methodological framework for innovation transfer to SMEs

Abstract: The paper deals with technological and managerial innovation transfer to small and medium sized enterprises. A comprehensive framework is presented, identifying a networked architecture in which different actors (universities, other R&D centers, consulting companies, the European Union, national government, local public administration) interact. In so doing, the need of a specific promoting role is pointed out. Consequently, introduction of an innovation center (IC) responsible for the whole transfer process is proposed. Within this organizational unit, the role of innovation promoter (IP), that is the interface with the specific SME, is analyzed and discussed. Finally, a general scheme of IC and IP actions and competences is presented.
