It was hypothesised that the overarching national (and international) commitment of the post-1994 government to reform society to become an inclusive system serving the needs of all changes would impact on four of the main pillars of the STI system, viz. national objectives, funding of the system, the human resource composition (specifically race) and steering/control mechanisms. The research approach consisted of qualitative analyses of published information reflecting the positions and initiatives of the government department entrusted with the oversight function of STI (Department of S&T). The analyses showed, firstly, that the core STI missions were changed substantially over time. Secondly, the funding of the system relative to GDP in effect stalled while new policies were put in place, but started rising moderately since 2001. Thirdly, extensive transformation has been brought about on the human resource dimension in terms of race equity, especially at management and executive level. Thirdly, the South African government has over the past decade introduced a range of new steering mechanisms and significantly tightened its control on public research institutions. The paper concludes by identifying four perspectives on the future of the STI system, viz. firstly STI for development of the disadvantaged components of society, secondly insistence on implementation time frames and M&E schedules for new initiatives, thirdly the government's commitment to grow the STI budget might be restrained, and fourthly increasing government control over publicly financed STI. In conclusion it was noted that the specific contents of these perspectives would be determined by the future direction of the country.","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":"128813630","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}

Several Asian countries have shown remarkable progress in R&D efficiency which seems to be at the cost of the leading nations like USA and the UK. This study investigates R&D efficiency in 22 countries, 20 of them members of the OECD, and the Russian Federation and China. The analysis is carried out using the Malmquist Productivity Index for the periods 2002–04 and 2004–06. The R&D inputs taken are gross domestic expenditure on R&D and the number of full-time researchers per million population. The outputs taken are patents granted to residents and the number of scientific publications indexed in the Science Citation Index. We find that China exhibits a rapid increase in number of scientific publications while the Republic of Korea shows exemplary performance in patenting among residents in recent years. Thus we confirm the results of some earlier studies, and contribute mainly by investigating R&D efficiencies using the MPI which is especially useful in comparing productivity in multiple decision making units over periods of time, and examining reasons for the efficiencies of China and the Republic of Korea. The results indicate significant improvements in technical capabilities of the residents of China and the Republic of Korea.","PeriodicalId":280544,"journal":{"name":"2009 Atlanta Conference on Science and Innovation Policy","volume":"2006 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":"116932118","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}

Central to this process is the higher education reform with the objective to educate graduates with innovative and practical capabilities. The paper sets out to explore how this reform in constructed. The paper shows how policy and official rhetoric construct the innovative graduate as a `Socialist innovative graduate', who on the one hand should be independent and creative and on the other highly knowledgeable and disciplined. This requires a fundamental reform of Chinese higher education toward interactive learning, combining Western and Chinese educational practices. Secondly, using a case study approach, the paper shows how this official strategy is modified when translated into practice. New and existing educational ideas and practices are negotiated, and consequently, at the current stage of the reform, institutional conditions for learning can be interpreted as being modernized rather than fundamentally changed. The `Socialist innovative agent' is thus in reality more problem-solving and practical than independent and creative.","PeriodicalId":280544,"journal":{"name":"2009 Atlanta Conference on Science and Innovation Policy","volume":"13 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":"132361540","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}
