“…The interfaces between institutions and functions can be expected to resonate into co-evolutions in some configurations more than in others (Leydesdorff, 2006). This confirms the relevance of studying country specific university-industry-government configurations (see, for example, Rao, 2012;Park & Leydesdorff, 2010).…”

“…We provide this additional analysis for a three-year period, 2010-2012. As we can notice in Figure 5, Slovenia holds the highest position among the observed countries according to both GCI and GII scores (GCI ranks: 57, 56 and 62 over the observed time period; GII ranks: 30,26,30). Croatia is in the second place, with GCI ranks from 76 in 2010 to 75 in 2011; and GII ranks from 44 in 2010 to even 37 in 2012.…”

“…According to Rao et al (2012) there are two aspects of government R&D investments: one is government R&D funding which indirectly promotes university patent technology transfer activities by supporting teaching and research activities; the other is specialized government R&D programs (foundation) which directly support university patent technology transfer activities. Thus, based on the triple helix theory, government R&D investments, including government R&D funding and government R&D programs, can influence university patent technology transfer activities (Rao et al, 2012). It was shown (Chang-Yang, 2011) that it is difficult to evaluate the aggregate effect of public R&D support.…”

“…e higher the R&D human resource quality is, the better it will be for the development of scientific and technological activities, the creation of new knowledge, and the development of new technologies. Furthermore, the higher R&D human resource quality can promote scientific and technological activities [40]. is study selects the proportion of R&D personnel from scientists and engineers to represent the quality of R&D personnel.…”

The universities’ scientific and technological activities have become the key link of science and technology and economy, and the core of promoting the national innovation capability and competitiveness. To achieve high-quality development of China’s science and technology, it is of great significance to measure the efficiency of universities’ scientific and technological activities accurately and explore their regional differences. Based on the innovation value chain, we construct a two-stage efficiency measure index system of universities’ scientific and technological activity, and then according to the universities’ statistical data in China from 2010 to 2017, by taking provincial universities as the research object, we exploit a two-stage network DEA model with shared input to measure the provincial efficiency of universities’ scientific and technological activities in China; what is more, we explore the provincial differences in efficiency of universities’ scientific and technological activities. Finally, we extract the influencing factors on the efficiency of universities’ scientific and technological activities using the dynamic panel data model. The results show that there are serious problems in the transformation between knowledge output and results in the universities’ scientific and technological activities. The scientific and technological activities of regional universities in China are not balanced. For provincial universities’ efficiency of scientific and technological activities, there exist great differences among different time and space, stages, and resource utilization modes. The endogenous factors such as policy system and technology service are much more important factors.

“…The government relationships are also found to have a positive effect on institutional legitimacy. There are multiple ways in which public R&D institutions may constructively and usefully collaborate with firms and industrial clusters, thus contributing toward innovation, technology transfer and commercialization (Milesi et al , 2017; Jin et al , 2017; Suzuki et al ., 2017; Castellanos et al , 2004; Alvarado-Vargas et al , 2017; Carayannis et al , 2014; Rao et al , 2012; Mikulskiene, 2010; Mu and Benedetto, 2011). The study results and the CA maps are a guide to forge such alliances by identifying strategic groupings of laboratories as also identifying the stand-alone ones.…”

Purpose The authors investigate the relationship between the structure and the functioning of scientific and technical (S&T) personnel and the quality research and development (R&D) performance output of laboratories functioning under the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), India. The purpose of this paper is to examine how rapid economic and social changes and the demand for better accountability are addressed by public R&D institutions in a specific developing economy. Design/methodology/approach The authors use the functions performed by the S&T personnel as indicators of their tacit knowledge. The authors use data from 27 different CSIR laboratories to analyze the specific functions carried out by knowledge workers (S&T personnel) in order to gauge the internal strengths and weaknesses of individual laboratories in different functional areas. The authors use the following measures to tap the quality R&D performance of these laboratories – number of Indian patents filed and granted, number of foreign patents filed and granted, and the number of published papers figuring among the top 50 CSIR publications in specific research areas over an extended period of 11 years (2003-2004 to 2013-2014). Findings The findings show that there is no readymade formula for identifying improvements in quality performance by a research laboratory, given a particular set of S&T worker profile in terms of the six functions defined in the study. The top-performing laboratories have excellent patent as well as publication record reinforcing the point that innovation encompasses both basic and applied research with success depending upon strategically emphasizing the different components of the innovation process. Research limitations/implications The scope of the present research work is limited by the choice of the quality R&D performance measures adopted in the study that could be further expanded to better tap the social accountability of these public-funded institutions. In addition, inclusion of all CSIR laboratories in the study framework would add value to the study findings. The research highlights the importance of tacit knowledge management and organizational learning as central features of strategic organization development for technology practices incorporating R&D work, the support of pilot plants, experimental field stations, and engineering and design units. Practical implications The paper has particular implications for the leadership and management of public R&D organizations and public policy formulation for innovation in an emerging developing economy context. Originality/value This study extends the extant literature by drawing upon the role of tacit knowledge and organizational learning to inform the empirical research on managing public R&D and the innovations that result from it, in a particular emerging economy context, that is, India.
