Innovation

The term innovation means a new way of doing something. It may refer to incremental, radical, and revolutionary

changes in thinking, products, processes, or organizations

Innovation in Islamic Countries

20-25% of the world’s population are muslim

30-40 countries in the world are populous muslim countries

Very low intellectual productivity

Lagging behind in innovation process

Why


Mysteriously, even World Bank does not encourage

R&D for new technology in Developing countries


Importing the technologies from developed countries and using those technologies.

No significant R&D activities for inventing own technology.

“Science, Technology and Innovation” A. Watkins, M. Ehst, The world Bank, 2008


If we do not develop our own R&D

Islamic countries will always be at the consumers end and thus Islamic countries will become a market for the technological product of the industrial countries. Islamic countries will always lag behind in terms of economy and technology.

We should develop our technical skills and build our own R&D so that we can produce technological products by ourselves.

R&D should be conducted in two directionsR&D should be conducted in two directionsR&D includes but not limited to…R&D includes but not limited to…

Research and Development

Dimensions are …

▒ To acquire and use existing knowledge

▒ To produce and use new knowledge

▒ Establishment of research centers

▒ Formation of multidisciplinary research groups

▒ Monitoring body & proper supervision

▒ Collaboration between experts & end users

▒ Organize workshops, conference, etc regularly


Dissemination & Utilization

R&D or technology access center, whatever it might be, it will be of no

value unless and until people are accessing these to enjoy the benefit

Proposed directions to spread new technologies …

we must establish technology access centers throughout the country to disseminate the research findings, so that the end users

can avail new technologies from the nearby access center

Government along with NGOs should conduct a country wide campaign to

popularize new technologies

Research Units in Japanese Universities

There are well-planned and systematic research units (Laboratories) in Japanese Universities.

Each Unit Consists of one professor, one or two associate professors, two to four research associates and around 20 senior undergraduate

and graduate students.


Research Units in Japanese Universities

Regular weekly seminars and discussions on research problems in the research units.

Every activity is laboratory based. Senior students supervise research of junior students.


Japanese Policy for Research Success

Population of age group 20-35 are encouraged to do innovative research.

Foreign research workforce of age group 20-35 are invited to Japan by various lucrative programs like Scholarships, COE and JSPS programmes to work under senior Japanese professors.

Reputed foreign researchers are invited for encouraging and supervising junior Japanese researchers by JSPS programs.


Academia-Industry Collaboration in Japan

Surplus funds from the industry to universities for doing research even merely doing theoretical research.

Many universities have developed industry creation hatcheries where research on innovation of new industrial products, training of manpower are done jointly by industry and university people.

Innovation Processes in Bangladesh

Grameen Bank – an example of successful innovation in Bangladesh.

The Grameen Bank Project came into operation with the following objectives: extend banking facilities to poor men and women eliminate the exploitation of the poor by money lenders create opportunities for self-employment for the vast multitude of

unemployed people in rural Bangladesh bring the disadvantaged, mostly the women from the poorest

households, within the fold of an organizational format which they can understand and manage by themselves

The bank and Dr. Md. Yunus, the founder were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, "for their efforts to create economic and social development” in 2006.


Innovation Processes in Bangladesh

Encouraging young generation in productive works by creating festive competitive environment might be an ingredient for successful innovative process.

Summary and Conclusion

Followings are some recommendations for making innovation processes successful. Study and analyze the local needs and problems. Give strength on research and development. Establish effective research units in universities of Islamic

countries and create Center of Excellence as an umbrella body to monitor the activities of research units.

Establish strong industry-academia relationship and motivate industries to provide financial assistance for supporting research projects.

Create facilities to encourage and motivate young generation for doing research.


Summary and Conclusion

Followings are some recommendations for making innovation processes successful. Invite prominent Muslim researchers working in the developed

countries to work in their own countries. (Note that Korea and China have already started this strategy. )

Establish technology access centers throughout the cuntry to disseminate the research findings, so that the end users can avail new technologies from the nearby assess centers.

Conduct a country wide campaign to popularize new technologies.

Three days notice is not enough to prepare an effective prescription for successful innovative

processes !!!
