From Science to Technology

For a very long time there was believed to exist a continuum stretching from very basic scientific research, through applied research and technology, to economic growth and national prosperity (Narin & Olivastro, 1992).

However, reality has shown that things are not that straightforward.

Throughout the years, different ways of modeling the interaction between science and technology have emerged from literature.

Industry-Science Relations

Science and technology policy in recent years has devoted much attention to fostering Industry-Science-Relations (ISR) and in several countries, policy initiatives in this realm have been launched.

Why Universities Do Not Do What Companies Do and Why Companies Do Not Do What Universities Do

1. Uncertainty: Uncertain outcome of basic research.

2. Inappropriability or ‘nonmarketability’: Some results from basic research are not appropriable, because they occur at such fundamental levels of scientific analysis.

3. Spillovers: Some results from basic research can easily spill over to competitors in the same line of business that the results may actually help the competitors more than they help the company that conducted the initial research.

Project Hindsight

The study assessed the contribution of science and technology to the development of weapon systems. Analysis of twenty weapon systems yielded nearly 700 research and exploratory development events. Only 8% of them were found to be

'science events', compared with 92% 'technology events'.

Only 4% of those 'science events‘ came from pure or 'curiosity-oriented' research.

TRACES

As a reaction to these negative findings, the National Science Foundation launched a study under the acronym “TRACES”.

They traced critical research events leading to five major technological innovations (magnetic ferrites, the video tape-recorder, the oral contraceptive pill, the electron microscope and matrix isolation) over a period of 50 years preceding the innovation.

Their findings show that important innovations often result from the interaction of several previously unconnected streams of scientific and technological activity.

TRACES

Mansfield (1991) has added a quantitative underpinning to this positive relationship between basic science and technological development.

He focused on research performed in the 15 year period preceding the innovation under consideration.

Using a sample of 76 US firms in seven industries, he estimated that 11% of industrial innovation would not have occurred, or would have occurred with great delay, without the contribution of academic research.

Of the process innovations 9% would not have been developed in time without academic research.

Fourth Step:Differentiated Universities

In April 1998, the UK Government outlined the new university for industry (UFI)

An Average of 600 000 individuals annually participated in its learning programs by 2002 and 2.5 million used the university’s information services.

Institutional Arrangements: Incentives to University Researchers

Formulas for the allocation of OTT revenues from license royalties:-Most common formula: Equal sharing among the university (33%), the department (33%), and the employee inventor (33%).

-Another common formula: 50%-50% sharing between the university and the inventor.-Average net revenue distributions: University (35%), department (25%), and faculty inventor (40%).
