“…To capture the role of SMEs in the process of nanotech knowledge co-production, we introduce network concepts and measures to represent the relations between such different actors as universities, nonprofit institutions, governmental institutions, hospitals and companies, focusing on technological collaboration expressed through co-patenting. Niosi (2007) reminds us that patents are key to protecting intellectual propriety in both the biotechnology and nanotechnology arenas and, despite the objection that patents are by definition static and may thus represent incomplete criteria with which to measure knowledge flows, we argue that co-patent networks offer a valuable way of examining R&D collaboration structures (Goetze C., 2010) …”

Abstract.Nanotechnologies are often presented as breakthrough innovations, where technology transfer and knowledge-bridging will play a pivotal role in the industrial dynamics. This article investigates the model of knowledge transfer in the nanotechnologies in depth, by comparing it with the models of two recently emerged technologies: biotech and microelectronics. Our results show that the nanotechnology transfer model is very different from that involved in biotechnology evolution: while small-medium firms play a valuable technology-bringing role, the central function of "translating" new knowledge between public research and industry in carried by the larger firms, just as it was in the early stages of the microelectronics sector.

“…Patent analyses have been used extensively in research for a number of purposes, including identification of new technology opportunities (Lee et al., ), technology networks and diffusion (Goetze, ; Cheng, ), and forecasting technologies (Daim et al., ). Compared with the majority of quantitative methods in business studies, patent data mining studies are less frequent, and it is still a developing field.…”

This study maps the linkage of nanotechnologies and their clusters, identifies emerging and mature technologies and links to their application fields, and examines the profiles of the regional nanotechnology competencies. A model is proposed to assist with the analyses. The patent data were retrieved from the Thomson Innovation database, which were subsequently analysed with the Thomson Data Analyser. The results show technological linkages using the proposed linkage model, for example, the linkage between the cluster of nanotubes‐nanowires‐polymers and the cluster of nanowires‐semiconductors‐optical identifies a nanoelectronics domain. In the Techno‐Economic Network framework, the result shows that the United States maintains its position in the Science and Technology poles, revealing its strong competitiveness, while the nanotechnological competencies in Japan have lost strength significantly in recent years. Asian giants such as South Korea and China appear to be the most likely contenders for catching up with the United States. The theoretical contribution of this study is the theoretical framework that has been adapted and tested in this research. Practical contributions consist of descriptive and analytical findings based on actors' performances and the regions' competencies. The research offers a useful insight for academic and research practitioners on how an emerging field such as nanotechnology can be analysed, and a way forward for materialising science and technology policies in this field.

“…In particular, we compare them in terms of sustainable technology. Many researches for technology analysis were based on patent analysis [11][12][13]15,[27][28][29][30] because the patent contains complete results of developed technologies [2,31]. However, we cannot analyze the patent documents directly using statistical modeling.…”

Abstract:The technology of three-dimensional (3D) printing was commercialized in the late 1980s. Since then, the development of this technology has been dramatically increasing. Moreover, 3D printing technology has been used in many different fields, such as electronics and medical appliances, because 3D printing is a technological convergence based on precision instruments, chemical materials, and electrical equipment. The technological impact of 3D printing is so powerful that we need to analyze 3D printing technology to understand the 3D printing industry. In addition, we want more analytical results for understanding the sustainability of 3D printing technology. Thus, we compare the technologies between 3D printing competitors to find their technological innovations and evolution from a technological sustainability. To analyze the 3D printing technology, we propose a new methodology of statistical technology analysis combing social network analysis with time series clustering. In our case study, we make a comparison between "3D Systems" and "Stratasys", two major 3D printing companies, because they have been leading the sustainable technologies of 3D printing in the market. We illustrate how the proposed methodology can be applied to practical problems from the case study. This paper contributes to the sustainable technology management, and our research can expand to other competitors with diverse technological fields as well as 3D printing.
