“…Hence, this study promotes each construct relationship more stable that select the Taiwan's high technology industry research sample. Furthermore, Siu, Lin, Fang, and Liu (2006), Tu and Yang (2008), and Yang and Kang (2008) state those high-technology firms in Taiwan are highly adept and aggressively competitive in their NPD capabilities. Under such highly competitive environment, the findings of this study will help to clarify the relationship between each construct.…”

“…This result supports the findings of Mazzoleni (2008) who discovered that for a successful catching up process, academic institutions have to contribute to the development of firm level capabilities. This kind of close interaction between the academic and industrial sectors, together with the government, has been emphasized by Tu and Yang (2008) to promote Taiwan's Science and Technology (S&T) contribution to the catching up process.…”

While the high-tech sector is still of a leading importance, whether medium and low tech (LMT) sectors should be equivalently considered when analyzing long term economic growth, in both leading and catching up economies, is a fundamental question. This paper is our second milestone comparing HT and LMT sectors from an innovation perspective, using a National System of Innovation (NSI) approach. The general aim of this paper is to find the main principles that govern the difference between the two industrial segments (HT and LMT) while controlling for supranational boundaries. In order to measure the effect of NSI, countries are divided into two groups: leading and catching up economies. Our results suggest that, with respect to HT, leading economies can be considered as innovators, while catching up economies are the imitators. Furthermore, HT in leading economies relies on product modularity to outsource various components probably to firms in catching up economies. Catching ups are putting greater emphasis on universities to produce knowledge. In addition, firms in catching up economies benefit from high accessibility to funds in order to grow various industrial sectors, especially LMT. The role of institutions and governments with respect to regulatory policies, intellectual property protections are of high importance for firms in catching up economies, especially in LMT. As a result of those important steps, the various agents in catching up economies have achieved sustainable growth, notably in LMT. In contrast, the same growth is observed for HT for firms in leading economies. Our results suggest that catching up countries are strategizing for this sectoral evolution, renewal and transformation process for both sectors, but with a stronger emphasis on LMT.

“…However, in recent years the focus of successful innovation systems has shifted to the fast growing economies of Taiwan and South Korea whose NIS are arguably superior in comparison with those of Western Europe or the US (Dodgson, Mathews, Kastelle, & Hu, 2006;Peters, 2006;Tu & Yang, 2008). These countries not only managed to catch up with leading technologies, but also managed to surge ahead in many ways (Peterson, 2006).…”

Critical Success Factors for Research Collaborations between Firms and Research Institutes in New Zealand

<p>Ongoing discussions and changes in the New Zealand innovation system have underlined the need to improve the level of co-operation between firms and the Crown Research Institutes (CRIs) in New Zealand. This study contributes to this discussion by assessing the critical success factors for research co-operations between firms and CRIs. Alongside the practical value of this study, it also contributes to the development of relationship marketing theory, where empirical insights into research co-operations between firms and research institutes is lacking. Specifically, a case study methodology was utilised to test a conceptual model developed from existing literature in the context of research cooperations between universities and firms. To do so, similarities and contrasts between two successful research co-operations and two less successful research co-operations were examined in the light of 12 previously developed propositions. Findings from this study highlight the strong similarity of success factors for research cooperations between firms and universities with those of firms and research institutes. However, additional themes emerged from this study, notably the concepts of group diversity and the multidimensionality of trust. The emergence of these additional themes might be explained by the unique characteristics of the New Zealand innovation system (remoteness and small size of firms), and the study methodology, which enabled additional insights. Overall, this study contributes empirical data and conclusions from a new context to relationship marketing literature. From a managerial point of view, this study highlights the importance of a good balance between trust and distrust, a strong bond between the boundary spanning managers, and satisfactory communication as major determinants of successful research co-operation between firms and CRIs.</p>
