  1. Innovations for Knowledge Management Dr A Amudeswari Director, CEFIPRA 22 June 2010

  2. Knowledge in the Competitive Landscape • Currently global economy is knowledge driven and has created a competitive landscape • Individuals, companies, countries compete globally transcending borders gaining competitive advantage through generation, capitalization and leveraging of the knowledge • In this milieu government, enterprises and knowledge based institutions play a major role in the economic transformation by carving knowledge pathways (developing strategic alliances, technology partnerships, nurturing intellectual capital, exploit core competencies) • The challenge lies in the management of the knowledge generated (scientific research and the technological embodiments) which can create space in the landscape

  3. Innovation in the Knowledge Based Economy • Innovation gains for the manufacturing sector a competitive edge in the global market trade. To innovate requires creative people. Creativity requires an ambience and nourishment • The youth of this country must be inspired to innovate. Education can play an inspirational role by triggering the imagination of the young, by nurturing creativity, by encouraging the spirit of enquiry and questioning attitude. • Expertise based pathways to innovation by a single or group of professionals • Corporate India can seed new knowledge based initiatives through customer interface, external influences • Universities and national institutes are key agencies for creating, nurturing and diffusing scientific and technological knowledge. R&D expenditures in higher education sector are economic growth stimulators. Universities can be the change agents in bringing about a transformation in the system of education and position India strongly in the knowledge economy by providing the ambience and atmosphere for youth to innovate, by connecting the aspirations of the youth to the corporate world

  4. Innovation landscape of India: Enabled by policy support

  5. Innovation: Promotional measures • Establishment of Innovation Foundation • With provisions for functional autonomy for internal governance and measures of linking informal and formal innovators; motivating support for innovators • National& International Innovation Projects • Simultaneous focus on accelerated and inclusive growth through innovation mix • Forging alliances for promoting innovation with private enterprises globally • Innovation Day celebrated • Idea Fund support

  6. Innovation for Inspiring Youth: INSPIRE Programme of DST: Creating Space in the Innovation Landscape Catching them Young 1 Million Science Award @ Rs 5000 10-15 Yrs excitements 15-17 Yrs Motivating experience Summer Camp with science leaders INSPIRE 17-22 yrs funding With mentoring Scholarships In Higher Education (SHE) 22-27 Yrs Scholarship building Assured Opportunity in Research (AORC) 27-32 Yrs Career opportunity Equity Participation from Industry for Inspiring India to Grow Innovation in Science for Pursuit of Inspired Research)

  7. Indicators for Development: S&T • During 1980’s India occupied 8th position in scientific research in the world • In 1990, the ranking was 12th • In 2003, India was out of the top 10 countries • The reason-decline in scientific manpower (perhaps due to the demand pull from IT sector) • The number of scientific manpower (PhD’s) in India is 157 per million population, in Korea 180, in Japan 80, in China 850 • The global share in scientific articles (2005) is 7.8% for Japan, 5.9 China, Korea 2.3, India 2.1 and Singapore 0.5% • India’s R&D Intensity (as % of GDP) is <1%, Korea 3.2%, Japan 3.4%, China 1.4%, Taiwan 2.5%, Singapore 2.4% • The R&D investments in India are 80% from Govt and 20% from private, in S.Korea & Singapore 50% from Govt and 50% from pvt, China & Taiwan 40% from Govt and 60% from private, Japan 20% from Govt and 80% from pvt • Innovation in R&D is strongly coupled to patent generation. The global share in patent filing (2006) reveals that Japan has 29%, China 7.3%, Korea 9.8%,

  8. Knowledge Generation Translational Research Policy Issues Finance Innovation projects Public funded Purposeful journey High level science networks of international excellence

  9. Knowledge generation in R&D Institutions Institutions strongly connected to industrial sector need to align and orient their R&D activities to industry needs, demands & priorities Institutions focussing on lead ideas based on leap frog rather than incremental innovation Institutions also have groups engaged in blue sky research Focus is on precompetitive research aimed at providing global leadership and which ensures staying ahead of the industry by 5-7 yrs Translational research aims at providing technology solutions to problems faced by industry PPP model for conversion of R&D leads into commercially viable products Development of Core competencies in specialized areas

  10. Knowledge Partnerships: In R&D Institutions • Networking as a mode of research and development • Building coherence and synergy with shared objectives, resources and cogeneration of values: Government departments adopt this • New Millennium Indian Technology Leadership Initiative • Building private-Public Partnerships in proof of concept mode of innovations, delivering outputs already in many areas. New experience in innovating gained

  11. TBI Model: For Promotion of Innovative R&D • Provides opportunity for testing an idea/concept • Potential for translation of idea/concept into process/product can be assessed • Leads to entrepreneurial capabilities • Risk minimization is possible • Offers scope for promoting innovation • Requires wide publicity and outreach mechanisms • If linked to R&D laboratories, success rates could be higher • If set up in industrial clusters on co-sharing basis, likelihood of start up initiatives graduating into full fledged companies higher • The incubation model has led to generation of technologies

  12. Market Policies Idea Generation Individuals Scale up Demand Cost competitiveness Regulation Industry sponsored/supported From Companies capable of coping with risk Govt Funding/ Contract Research TBI Promote Start up companies Commercialization Risk Finance Innovation & Industrial Research

  13. CEFIPRA: Creating Space in the Innovation and Knowledge Landscape CEFIPRA Strategies for SME’s to innovate Development of core competencies Basic R&D Strong collaboration Competitiveness building Industrial Research Alliances In specific areas Exchange programmes
