“…The tables' conceptual basis and the suitability of the TC metric evaluation were based on studies performed by Figueiredo (2009), following the models of Lall (1992) and Bell and Pavitt (1995). Although Figueiredo worked with more levels, for the reasons stated in Baginski et al (2017) and Moreira and Pitassi (2013), we decided to adopt five levels of innovation: frontier, intermediate, basic, advanced and routine basic.…”

“…TC in late industrialized economies occurs in several stages, with factors acting simultaneously at different levels (Freeman 1995). Thus, the establishment of metrics to assess TC is a complex task, subject to conceptual and methodological controversies (Baginski et al, 2017). This makes it necessary to clarify whether the goal is to measure technological innovation through R&D activities or more broadly, considering all dimensions of the phenomenon, as the Oslo Manual recommends (OECD, 1997).…”

“…The more comprehensive the metric is, the more complex its formulation will be (Baginski et al, 2017). For Figueiredo (2009), conventional innovation metrics, which are intended to quantify only the tangible results of R&D, do not consider transfer mechanisms and technology assimilation processes of TC accumulation, a pattern that is typical of organizations from emerging countries, which face long learning paths before reaching the stage of technology driven nations (Bell and Pavitt 1995).…”

The use of increasingly advanced doping techniques in sports requires constant investments in new detection processes and technologies, forcing doping control laboratories to develop their innovative capability. Although WADA considers that all accredited labs should have equal quality, sports scientists point to the huge economic and cultural differences between emerging and developed countries. This article is in line with other studies that: (1) consider doping to be a biomedical technology that needs to be analysed under the lens of innovation theory; and (2) advocate the need to redesign antidrug policies to overcome the present limitations. This paper's main objective is to present a technological capability (TC) metric for anti-doping labs that can guide their technological strategy, helping them perform a more significant role in redesigning antidrug policy. The secondary objective is to report the testing of the metric at the Brazilian Doping Control Laboratory (LBCD). The construction of the analytical framework followed the recommendations for qualitative metrics. The main result was the TC metric, formulated with input from experts on doping control. Interviews revealed that the proposed metric could help laboratories better manage their R&D processes, including drug testing. The collected evidence suggests that a global network approach, including WADA requirements that consider countries' economic realities, are crucial to guide investments and prevent drug control labs from prioritising short-term profits over steady investments in R&D.

“…In addition, these are usually built to order and involve complex production processes, with large-scale but short series production, high degree of customization, and intensive labor. In return, they provide high value-added but requiring large and fixed capital investments although they have long life cycles [3]. However, most of them do not always evolve in line with the development of the latest technology [4].…”

New Trends in the Use of Artificial Intelligence for the Industry 4.0

The new paradigms of Industry 4.0 force all the industrial sectors to face a deep digital transformation in order to be on the edge in a competitive and globalized scenario. Following this trend, the shipbuilding industry has to establish its own path to adapt itself to the digital era. This chapter aims to explore this challenge and give an outlook on the multiple transformative technologies that are involved. For that reason, a case of study is presented as a starting point, in which the digital technologies that can be applied are easily recognized. A social network analysis (SNA) is developed among these key enabling technologies (KETs), in order to stress their correlations and links. As a result, artificial intelligence (AI) can be highlighted as a support to the other technologies, such as vertical integration of naval production systems (e.g., connectivity, Internet of things, collaborative robotics, etc.), horizontal integration of value networks (e.g., cybersecurity, diversification, etc.), and life cycle reengineering (e.g., drones, 3D printing (3DP), virtual and augmented reality, remote sensing networks, robotics, etc.).
