Abstract

This paper portrays an attempt of a Research and Technology Organisation (RTO) in a latecomer country, Thailand, in changing its own strategic direction from a dominant 'knowledge creator' to a 'knowledge broker' in an industrial cluster. A positive transformation in a national innovation system, in which an RTO is operating, can facilitate and even pressure an RTO to change. An RTO itself also has to make a considerable effort to break away from their path dependency. 'Learning by forgetting' is as important as 'learning to accumulate' new competencies, otherwise the existing 'core competencies' can turn to be 'core rigidities'.

科技政策范式的转变:泰国RTO的经验

本文描述了一个后发国家泰国的研究与技术组织(RTO)将自己的战略方向从占主导地位的“知识创造者”转变为产业集群中的“知识经纪人”的尝试。在一个国家创新体系中，RTO的积极转变可以促进甚至迫使RTO改变。RTO本身也必须做出相当大的努力来摆脱它们的路径依赖。“通过遗忘来学习”与“学习积累”新能力同样重要，否则现有的“核心能力”可能会变成“核心僵化”。
