Summary of innovation types(Source:Kotsemir M.,Abroskin A.,2013)

Technopolitic Innovation

policy (s) design, which leads to changes in the technological paradigm and providing a critical economic gains in size.

1-Bayh Dole Act• “P.L. 96-517, Patent and Trademark Act Amendments of 1980”• “Innovation's golden goose” The Economist-Technology

Quarterly,2002• 28,000 patents that the American government owned in 1980,

fewer than 5% had been licensed to industry.• Since 1980, American universities have witnessed a tenfold

increase in the patents they generate, spun off more than 2,200 firms to exploit research done in their labs, created 260,000 jobs in the process, and now contribute $40 billion annually to the American economy.

Bayh-Dole:Possibly the most inspired legislation all over the world

• Kanada (1985),• Japonya (1998), • İngiltere (1998), • Almanya (1998, 2001), • Fransa (1999), • Kore (1998,2000, 2001)• Çin (2002)• And others…..

2- Japan Miracle in 1980’s and first half of 1990’s:

• TQM• Just in Time• Kanban• Six Sigma• ….

New business model innovations in Production Management Systems

İnnovation and Development (Product/Process)

3- Korea and China MiracleFrom İmitation to İnnovation

(Creative İmitation)

From İmitation to İnnovation

Far East Asia Countries said that: “to be successful, you have to learn how to

both imitate and innovate.” Oded Shenkar

Recent Innovation Tools

• Open Innovation• Networking and Clustering• Regional Innovation System• Sectoral Innovation System• Technology Transfer Intermediaries• Etc.

Silicon Valley: Global Model or Unique Anomaly *

"Silicon Valley is the only place on Earth not

trying to figure out how to become Silicon Valley".

Bob Metcalfe

*Main theme of IX.Triple Helix International Conference, Stanford Univ.2011

Silicon Valley or Valley of Creative Destruction

What will be the next innovation wave of the Valley?

• o Creative Industries: Social technologies are changing the nature of creative industries allowing consumers greater access to arts, culture and entertainment. Application also includes the vast global markets of tourism and travel.

• o Education and Life-Long Learning: Transforming education and publishing using information technology.

• o Clean Energy and Environmental Technologies: The deployment of renewable energy results in lower costs that speed up further adoption.

• o Advanced Manufacturing: The application of information technology, simulation tools and sensors to create precision manufacturing including additive manufacturing or 3D printing, a process of making three-dimensional solid objects from a digital model.

• o Health Care: Using information technology to create opportunities for personalized medicine including web-based medical platforms and genomics which uses a biometric profile to target diagnosis and treatment to the genetic makeup of individuals.

What will be the next innovation wave of the Valley?

“It is not about imitating the technology innovations of Silicon Valley but instead about applying technology that is appropriate to each region. Hence, it is a mistake to see Silicon Valley in terms of the current wave but rather as an example of a resilient region that has successfully adapts to constant change. “

Universities in Global Innovators Index

The only other Asian nation to make the 2012 list is South Korea, with 7 percent of the overall companies/ organizations. That is a 75 percent increase in representation there year over year, with four new entrants, two of which are universities and two of which are scientific research centers.

Lessons Lerned-1

Basic Research is essential for Innovation Ecosystem

Lessons Lerned-2

Recent Trends depend on “System Approach” and System Approach depends on inter/transdiscipliner behaviour and on several actors cooperations

Lessons Lerned-3

Technology Transfer Intermediaries should not be the main objective but the tools of innovation ecosystem.

Lessons Lerned-4

Public Authorities’ support approach should depend on flexibility, creativity and originality;

• respect and regard universities/Research Organizations genetic codes, instead of one fit all aproach , (Public Central Universities, Public Regional Universities, Private

Universities…)

• give beneficiaries flexibility with flexible umbrella law/quidance to shape their mechanisms which is strong in system approach

instead of Shaping USİ mechanisms with sharp laws and/or regulations which allows isolated center.

Lessons Lerned-5

Impact Assesments better than input-output analyses

Some Factors can be; -Lead (public or private) -Supply creative nd talent HR -Network width -Technologicak competitiveness in current waves of

focused area -Commercialization potential -Global cooperation -Innovation habitat
