Efficiency Analysis of the Royalty System from the Perspective of Open Innovation

Abstract

Abstract:The purpose of this study is to suggest efficiency improvement using the analysis of the efficiency of the royalty system for government-funded research institutes (GRIs) belonging to the National Research Council of Science & Technology (NST). Twenty three GRIs' royalty incomes and expenses (2013)(2014)(2015) were analyzed using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) model. First, Research Model 1 was used to find out if the obligated expense category's distribution ratio were efficient. Five Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes (CCR) model organizations and 14 Banker, Charnes and Cooper (BCC) model organizations demonstrated 100% efficiency. With the exception of the obligated expense category, Research Model 2 was used. Seventeen CCR model organizations and 18 BCC model organizations demonstrated 100% efficiency. GRIs were divided into efficient and inefficient organizations using each model, and potential improvements and benchmarking decision-making units (DMUs) were found for inefficient organizations. Second, multiple regression analysis in Research Model 2 was used to analyze the cause of the efficiency to find factors that influenced the transfer of technology and license improvement. Third, there were efficiency differences among research organizations as a result of the efficiency analysis considering the research organization type with respect to the constant returns to scale (CRS) efficiency of Research Models 1 and 2. Thus, different policies should be applied to improve the efficiency. Finally, the possible improvements, future directions and limits of this study are discussed.

Micro- and Macro-Dynamics of Open Innovation with a Quadruple-Helix Model

“…Paper Twenty-one studies technology in innovation systems from an ecosystem innovation perspective, with relation to technology convergence [100]. Paper Twenty-two is about fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP), data envelopment analysis (DEA), and managerial analysis for supplier selection and development from an open innovation perspective [101]. Paper Twenty-three is about promoting the development of enterprise niches through a case study on China's organizational ambidexterity from the perspective of a platform business eco-model evolution [102].…”

An Efficiency Measurement of E-Government Performance for Network Readiness: Non-Parametric Frontier Approach

“…Aristovnik [70] deduced the significance of ICT effects by measuring the effects of ICT on education performance in EU and OECD countries. Hawng et al [71] measured the efficiency of the Royalty System to assert the R&D environment, a new approach from the perspective of open innovation. It deduced the potential improvement level of inefficient organizations and proposed direction.…”

Efficiency of Public R&D Management Agency and Its Improvement toward Open Innovation

“…The data envelopment analysis (DEA) model was used to analyze the efficiency of R&D agencies. DEA is an analysis technique mainly used to measure the efficiency of research subjects in various fields [15]. The DEA model, first proposed by Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes (1978) [16], is based on the concept of Farrell (1957) [17] of relative efficiency.…”

“…Park et al (2011) [27] assessed the efficiency of R&D projects supported by the government in scientific and technological areas such as papers and patents by utilizing science and technology investment and performance data of NTIS (National Science and Technology Information Service). Hwang et al (2019) [15] suggested improving the efficiency of public R&D through the improvement of the royalty system. Hwang et al (2019) [6] suggested improving the pro-ductivity of public R&D by improving the operational-efficiency of public R&D agencies.…”
