Beyond a mere confirmation of this well-known finding, this paper illustrates that such interfaces differ with regard to the degree of technological relatedness of inter-regional flows that intersect locally - and that certain knowledge flows are more likely to be combined than others. To substantiate this claim, a differentiated set of networks of knowledge exchange is empirically developed for a number of technological fields by means of patent analysis. Moreover, we point out that general framework conditions impact on the pattern of intersection between networks. Hence, we investigate technology-specific structures of inter-regional knowledge exchange in two major regions, Europe and the United States. In the US case the networks display a pattern driven by a technological logic whereas in Europe they seem to be characterized by a hierarchy of multi-field centers.","PeriodicalId":280544,"journal":{"name":"2009 Atlanta Conference on Science and Innovation Policy","volume":"2014 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127534072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, patent-related events have been continuously outbursted, but relevant discussions are still stay at the surface level. In the present study, we first analyze the patent threat between different organizations, including its formation mechanism, definition, type classification, manifestation and impact factors. From the perspective of technology development, patent threat can be classified into three types: patent gap threat, patent diversity threat and patent R&D threat. Secondly, an empirical study has been carried out on the whole Chinese communication industry. The result shows that Chinese communication industry mainly faces serious patent gap threat caused by the lack of core patents.","PeriodicalId":280544,"journal":{"name":"2009 Atlanta Conference on Science and Innovation Policy","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117108902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first approach is based on propensity score analysis and the second is based on knowledge from the literature on scientific creativity and early career patterns. In the first approach, the log of citations over the years of activity in the domains under analysis produces a significant result, but the distribution of matches is not adequate at the middle and high ends of the scale. The second approach matches highly creative researchers in nanotechnology and human genetics with a comparison group of researchers that have the same or similar early career characteristics were considered: (1) same first year of publication (2) same subject category of the first publication, (3) similar publication volume for the first six years in the specified emerging domain. High levels of diversity among the highly creative researchers, especially those in human genetics, underscore the difficulties of constructing a comparison group to understand factors that have brought about their level of performance.","PeriodicalId":280544,"journal":{"name":"2009 Atlanta Conference on Science and Innovation Policy","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133613114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Large reallocation of authority and tasks between new actors at many levels has become a trend. In this research a total of fourteen countries are analyzed in an attempt to understand institutional design for S&T governance. Our analysis covers a total of fourteen countries and aims to provide a different view of modern governmental reform and a framework for the understanding the nature and patterns of governance.","PeriodicalId":280544,"journal":{"name":"2009 Atlanta Conference on Science and Innovation Policy","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127029553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The focus of this study is placed on the development of lead-free solders in the electric and electronic industry in Japan, Europe, and the United States. The structure of university-industry collaboration networks for lead-free solders is analyzed with the quantitative methods of social network analysis, based on data on the participants in research and development projects. Initiatives to regulate the use of lead in the United States influenced the formation of university-industry collaboration network for the development and adoption of lead-free solders in Japan. The network promoted cooperation and coordination among the relevant actors, including those working on chip implementation, solders, manufacturing equipment, parts, devices, printed circuit boards, and measurement instruments in implementing an effective transition to lead-free solders. The demonstration of technological progress in Japan in turn encouraged the introduction of a stringent regulation for the phase-out of lead-containing solders in Europe, leading to further formation of networks for technological development and adoption in other regions. Not involved in a domestic institutional network for regulating the use of lead, the university researchers in Japan, working from a relatively neutral position, took the initiative in creating international networks for the formulation of world-wide roadmaps for technological development and implementation, standardization of various specifications, and exchange and sharing of scientific and technological knowledge.","PeriodicalId":280544,"journal":{"name":"2009 Atlanta Conference on Science and Innovation Policy","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126980926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If core scientific knowledge and technical capabilities are used in this manner to increase innovative productivity by decreasing the use of other inputs, conventional measures of productivity based solely on outputs, per unit time, are likely to be inaccurate. We analyze productivity by examining development time and controlling for knowledge inputs. This approach measures the effect of core knowledge generated through pre-clinical laboratory R&D on development time in later stages of clinical development. We use patents and citations to model the use of technical knowledge generated through pre-clinical laboratory research in subsequent clinical development activities. Our results indicate that internally generated knowledge and patents, which builds on the existing scientific base are associated with shorter development times.","PeriodicalId":280544,"journal":{"name":"2009 Atlanta Conference on Science and Innovation Policy","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115811424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the foreign-born, a small proportion but a considerable number of them are foreign-degreed [2]. However, not much attention in sociology has been paid to the foreign-degreed yet. This study examines the effect of degree origin on the salaries of full-time, college-educated Asian immigrant computer scientists in the U.S. This study employs a sample of 2,522 observations derived from the 1993 and 2003 National Survey of College Graduates (NSCG) conducted by the National Science Foundation. Results from multivariate regressions show that degree origin had a statistically significant effect in 1993 but not in 2003. The negative effect of the highest degree from an Asian institution in 1993 can be attributed to the perceived lower quality of education in Asia and the choice that Asian-degreed computer scientists made. The disappearance of this effect in 2003 may be explained by the improvement in the quality of education in Asia and an increase in the demand for computer scientists in the U.S. between 1993 and 2003.","PeriodicalId":280544,"journal":{"name":"2009 Atlanta Conference on Science and Innovation Policy","volume":"906 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120971575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Technological innovation has been called for to combat climate change, increase food production, and discover new ways of generating energy, and proposals for increased investments in R&D and technology deployment are to be met with everywhere. However, such policy decisions in one domain have impacts in other domains—often unexpected, often negative, but often capable of being addressed in planning stages. This technological tool allows its users to embody the knowledge of different domains, to keep that knowledge up to date, and to define relationships, via both a model and an analytic game, such that policy makers can foresee problems and plan to forestall or mitigate them. Capturing and dynamically updating knowledge is the accomplishment of the Knowledge Encapsulation Framework. A systems dynamic model, created in STELLA®, simulates the relationships among different domains, so that relevant knowledge is applied to a seemingly independent issue. An analytic game provides a method to use that knowledge as it might be used in real-world settings.","PeriodicalId":280544,"journal":{"name":"2009 Atlanta Conference on Science and Innovation Policy","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124098429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
