“…The 1997 reform was also a consequence of a major change within the NIS, which called into question the policies underlying major technological programs and led to the emergence of new policymaking priorities. In addition, defense firms were privatized and new rules were implemented in the NIS (Guillou et al, 2009).…”

“…Some exceptions include Mustar and Laredo (2002), Versailles (2005), Guille (2008a and2008b), James (2009) and Guillou et al (2009). However, these firms are major players in the NIS of a number of European countries, although their role has changed considerably over the last three decades (Mérindol and Versailles, 2010;Lazaric et al, 2011).…”

“…In general, changes within the NIS are only studied from a macroeconomic viewpoint (for some exceptions see Guillou et al 2009). Our analysis aims to show the interest in a macro-meso approach in order to better understand the changes in defense firms within the NIS since the late 1980s, which were marked by the end of the Cold War and the global shift toward the liberalization and the financialization of the economy.…”

The structural changes inside the French innovation system have impacted the role of defense firms since the late 1980s. Major changes have affected the defense budget and public R&D funding system in particular. The aim of this article is to understand French defense firms' repositioning within the National Innovation System (NIS) based on an analysis of their R&D behavior over a long period of time (1987 to 2010). We show that French defense firms remain major players in the NIS and faced up to these major changes by adapting the funding of their R&D and their research priorities and rolling out new innovation capabilities. Additionally, they developed new innovation models to take advantage of new collaborative partnerships developed for civil and military markets.JEL classification: G32, 032

“…Des activités appartenant à l'état ont ainsi été transférées au secteur privé (3). La nécessité d'absorber de nouvelles compétences en provenance des institutions publiques et leur internationalisation croissante ont conduit à un repositionnement des firmes (Guillou et al, 2008, Serfati 2001) et ont rendu la définition d'un nouveau cadre institutionnel nécessaire, notamment en matière de DPI. En effet, les changements des années quatre-vingt-dix ont redéfini des règles du jeu tant en France qu'au Royaume-Uni, ce qui a abouti à un processus de tâtonnement pour trouver un cadre d'interactions qui soit compatible avec l'ensemble des objectifs poursuivis.…”

La distinction des activités étatiques et privées induite par la réforme de la DGA (Délégation Générale pour l'Armement) en 1997 a conduit à l'émergence de nouveaux groupes industriels (Guillou et al, 2008), et a mis en oeuvre des formes inédites de partenariats visant à créer de nouveaux actifs qu'il convient aussi de protéger. Il y a là, à notre sens, un double mouvement méritant des approfondissements qui font l'objet de cet article.…”

Nouveaux enjeux d’organisation de la propriété intellectuelle dans les industries complexes

L’industrie de la défense, en France comme à l’étranger, a connu ces dernières années de nombreuses mutations. Ces changements ont introduit une nouvelle division du travail qui fournit des possibilités d’interaction renouvelées pour créer des actifs complémentaires. Dans ce contexte, la question de la protection des innovations et de leur valorisation est devenue centrale. Elle s’impose avec d’autant plus d’acuité que la gestion des DPI requiert des compétences nouvelles pour les groupes industriels. Cet article analyse ces évolutions et met l’accent sur les nouveaux arrangements organisationnels qui y sont liés. L’étude du cas de Thales, qui a externalisé en 2005 une grande partie de la gestion de sa propriété intellectuelle, est emblématique de ces changements. Comment comprendre cette modification des activités a priori si sensibles que la protection ? Telle est la question centrale de cette recherche qui analyse les motivations et les conséquences du choix de l’externalisation de la protection sur la gestion des DPI.

Innovation at the National Level

This article introduces the reader to the evolution of the concept of innovation systems at the national level. National Innovation systems (NIS) are variously defined as a system for generating and diffusing new technologies or, or as a tool to identify key linkages in the system of technical institutions and other organizations to create and manage innovation. Government support and area of technological focus are two components that contribute to the effectiveness of a national innovation system but they are not a sufficient explanation for high performing systems. Examples of other factors contributing to a nation's innovation are its level of education, its ability to commercialize innovation, and its overall social and cultural climate. NIS policy studies aim to describe and compare the most important institutions, organizations, activities, and interactions of public and private actors that take part in or influence the innovation process of a country. NIS thinking has led to a structurally different view of how government can stimulate the innovation performance of a country. It shifts focus away from labor and wages and draws policy makers' attention to “getting the institutional environment right.”
