What is This?
1.
Disciplines appear
to have
increasingly
less relevance in
driving
research fields. The
majority
of research is now
published
across
disciplinary
boundaries. For
example,
an
examination of Australian research
outputs,
as recorded in
ISI listed
journal entries,
revealed that 65
per
cent of
physics
and earth sciences
department
research is
published
outside
of the fields of
physics
and earth
sciences;
77
per
cent of
information science is
published
outside the field of inform-
ation
science;
and 56
per
cent of mathematicians
publish
in
non-mathematics
journals (Bourke
and Butler
1993).
Similar
results were observed in a
university system-wide survey
of
all
publication outputs
for 1991 in Australia conducted
by
the Centre for Research
Policy:
for
example, psychology
publications
were
spread
across 49
disciplinary
fields,
clinical
sciences across
43,
and
biological
sciences across 38 other
fields of research. 14
2.
Furthermore,
there are 880 research centres
throughout
the
Australian
university system,
most of them
quite
real--in
terms of
staffing
and external finance
indicators,
a
large
number of them recent
(56 per cent being
established over
the last four
years),
and
by
far the
majority
are
multidiscipli-
nary. Collectively,
research centres account for at least 50
per
cent off Australias
tertiary
education research.S
3. Personal networks and immediate
personal
relations
appear
to be of crucial
importance
at the
leading edge
of new
fields-which,
as
with,
for
example,
membrane
technology
or
intelligent
materials, emerge
and dissolve
through
network

relations rather as do
self-organising systems
described in
chaos
theory.
Networks and
speed
of communication are
interlinked: the
dynamic
force behind
computer
science
research
is,
for
example,
network
membership
and
perform-
ance,
not
publication;
turnaround time for new ideas and
data in one international network we
tapped
was 10 minutes.
Physics
has
developed
a series of electronic bulletin boards
(such
as
HEP-TH, high energy physics-theory)
as the
primary
means of immediate
(and non-referred)
communi-
cation of results
(Taubes
1993:
1247-48). Speed
and networks
are
self-reinforcing.
The
complexity
of
required knowledge
inputs
is dealt with
through multidisciplinary teams,
the
success of which is
likely
to be associated with
relatively
small
size-five to twelve members
(see
Martin
1990;
Johnston
et al.
1993).
Woven
right through
this
patchwork quilt
of
observations is the critical
importance
of communication
immediacy.
The
impact
of communication
immediacy
is that where
leading
edge
research is
successfully joined
to innovative
enterprise
the
game
is rather more that of a basketball match than a
relay
race as Michael
Gibbons,
Director of Sussex
Universitys
Science
Policy
Research Unit has observed.l6 In other
words,
the traditional
view of the
application
of
knowledge
has been that basic research
could lead to
applied
research,
thence
development
and economic
wealth,
the idea
being passed
on as it were like a baton in a
relay
race. The new order involves
many
actors, researchers, firms,
universities,
governments
and so
on;
basic research is often a
product
of
highly
focused
applied
research rather
than
the other
way
around,
and most
leading edge
research is
likely
to be team
based and
multidisciplinary.
In the new order the
key
is
networking
and
immediacy-being
there!1
Capturing
the
Key Dynamics
of
Competitive Technological Advantage
into S&T Policies of
Developing
Countries
The 1990s have heralded a new order in national economic and
technological competition.
The S&T
policies
of
developing
nations
at TOURO COLLEGE LIBRARY on July 4, 2014 sts.sagepub.com Downloaded from
61
must take this
emerging
order into account in order to
capitalise
on the
dynamic
economic
growth
that the 1980s have delivered for
them.
Consequently,
whilst
many
national
governments
look to-
wards success of the
tigers
of
Asia,
or
Dynamic
Asian Economies
as OECD terms
them,
these are lessons of the
past,
not
necessarily
of the future. In the context of current
global change, looking
back
at the
principles
that nurtured the
growth
of Asias
tigers
and
seeking
to emulate these
principles
further-in either the
tigers
themselves or in
developing
countries of the
region-is likely
to
spell
doom for these nations as
they
slide
increasingly
backwards
in the economic world of the
twenty-first century.
The world has
changed.
Some
key principles
to be
incorporated
in the S&T
policy
in the 1990s are discussed in the
following.
Combined
Technological
and Social
Capability
At the heart of
capturing
value-added
advantage
from the new
economic and
technological
order lies the
upgradation
of scientific
and
technological
skill. This is basic to the S&T
development
strategies
of
many developing
countries,
particularly
Asia. What
tends to be
missing,
however,
is the
linking
of
technological
skill
with social and
organisational
skill.
Developing
nations, therefore,
would do well to look
critically
at their education
systems
and
strive to
develop
more
socially
informed,
multidisciplinary
and
team based S&T
programmes.
In
parallel
it should also be
recog-
nised that across
many developing
countries,
while there
may
be
currently major
efforts
being
devoted to human resource devel-
opment
in new areas of science and
technology,
often the infra-
structure
support
for the work of these
people
is still
seriously
lacking.
Even
large
investments of finance into research
projects
in
high
tech industrial areas will fail if the institutions cannot
adequately
absorb them. In
my
own
experience,
what looks on the
surface like
leading edge high technology
research can often in
practice
be
something
else.
Biotechnology
is a case in
point.
In
Asian
countries,
with which I am
familiar, biotechnology
research
often rests in
agriculturally-oriented programmes
and
interests,
though
in rhetoric the research is
targeted
towards new
high
tech-
nology industry objectives.
The reason is that the institutions and
the research cultures have not
changed. Building
new
strengths,
at TOURO COLLEGE LIBRARY on July 4, 2014 sts.sagepub.com Downloaded from
62
therefore,
implies building
institutional
capabilities,
teams and
organisational
cultures,
not
just training people (Hill 1992).
Articulating
National and Firm Level Innovation
Systems
Futhermore, building
national innovation
strength requires
arti-
culating
the broader innovation and
regulatory system effectively
with
private
sector
needs, ensuring two-way
flow of
people
and
knowledge
between
sectors,
and infrastructure
support
that is
targeted
to
providing appropriate background support
for industrial
innovation. As Chris Freeman
(1987:3)
observed,
The rate of
technical
change
in
any country
and the effectiveness of
companies
in world
competition ... depend upon
the
way
in which available
resources are
managed
and
organised
both at
enterprise
and at the
national level.
Sharp
and Galimberti
(1993: 65), following
Free-
mans
(1987)
work to
explore
the
specific
case of
European
bio-
technology companies,
reached the same conclusion about the
interdependence
of firm based
system
and national
system:
The
dowelopment
of
biotechnology,
for
example, required
a
closeness of
relationship
between the
development/production
activities and
regulating
institutions and bodies outside the firm.
As
long
as this closeness existed
as,
for
example,
between ICI
and the academic base in the
UK,
diffusion
proceeded steadily.
When such a
relationship
could not
exist,
or when
relationships
broke
down,
as
happened,
for
example,
with
Bayer
and Ciba
Geigy
and the
regulatory
framework in
Germany
and Switzer-
land,
then we see the
companies moving
R&D and
production
activities abroad.
Setting priorities
for scarce R&D resources to
support industry (as
distinct from
transferring
commercialisable
technology to industry)
is
important;
so also is
paying
attention to
bridging
the boundaries
between institutional structures within the overall national innov-
ation
system.&dquo;
It should be remembered here that the solutions
most
appropriate
to one
developing country may
not
necessarily
be
applicable
to others. The
development
of
linkages, crossing
institutional
boundaries,
social
innovation,
etc. are all cultural
processes. They
must be
grown; they
cannot lJe
transplanted
from
an alien cultural environment.

Personal
Mobility
and Networks
In
building
an articulated
public/private
sector innovation
system,
it must be reiterated that one cannot assume
any
more that transfers
of embodied
technology
will be effective as the
primary
vehicle of
technological upgrading
of economic
growth.
What is
important
in
the 1990s is the transfer of both the embodied
technological
know-
ledge-in machines, artefacts,
and so
on,
plus
the transfer of
uncodified
capability-in peoples
tacit
knowledge
about the tech-
nologies
as well as the social means
by
which
they
can be
captured.
There is
strong
international evidence that transfers between
public
sector research and
private enterprise
commercialisation of this
research are also led
by
this same
dynamic-the
movement of
people
and the establishment of broad
ranging personal
networks.
A recent
survey by
Richard
Nelson,
for
example,
of R&D Directors
of more than 600 US industrial
companies
demonstrated that
three-quarters
of the most
important
contributions of academic
research to
technological development
were in the form of uncodi-
fied
knowledge
and skill
transfers,
and
only one-quarter
in the
form of codified
(or tacit) knowledge,
that
is,
patents,
machines,
research
papers,
etc. While codified
knowledge
transfers tended to
come from more
applied disciplines
such as
computer
science,
materials science or
metallurgy,
and were
applied
in
very
few
industries,
the useful uncodified
knowledge
and skills came from a
wider
range
of
disciplines
and had a much broader
impact (Nelson
1987). Similarly, gaining
access to
leading edge
science follows the
same
dynamic: standing
at a distance and
depending
on the liter-
ature is a
recipe
for obsolescence. The
game
is now about im-
mediacy
and
personal
networks. What matters is the movement of
people,
for it is
through
this
personal mobility
that there will be
leakages
of
public
benefits across national
boundaries;
with the
right capturing mechanisms, any country
can therefore free-ride
on the advances in research made
by
others.
Consequently,
at all
levels,
technological strategies
of
developing
nations need to
emphasise
the movement of
people
and the devel-
opment
of networks-across national boundaries in both scientific
and
technological ventures,
and
nationally,
in relations between
public
sector
research
and
private
sector commercialisation. Our
work in Australia demonstrates
clearly
that to build liaison or
commercialisation structures to
bridge public
and
private
sectors,
at TOURO COLLEGE LIBRARY on July 4, 2014 sts.sagepub.com Downloaded from
64
will,
if used as the basis for
driving
rather than
supporting personal
relations,
simply get
in the
way.~
It follows also that
developing
nations
may
view brain drain of their
key
S&T
personnel
from a
new
angle.
While in laboratories and
companies
close to the heart-
land of new S&T
frontiers,
these
people
could be of enormous
value to transfers of
knowledge
back to the home
developing
country. Perhaps,
rather than
making
efforts to lure such
people
back home
permanently, developing
nation S&T
policies
should
seek to
capitalise
on
frequent
movement between the international
and national
contexts,
and
counterparting
the
people
at home.
A New Role for National Research
Systems
In this context national research
systems generally require
a new
perspective.
It is the
goal
of
many developing
nations
strategies
in
the
1990s,
along
with the
majority
of advanced
nations,
to increase
private
sector research
activity.
Given a low S&T base in
industry
in
developing
nations,
deep
MNC
penetration
into the
economy,
and
ambiguous
incentives,
these
plans may
well be unrealistic. In a
developing country
context the
public
sector will
probably always
be
required
to
play a
dominant role in economic
development.
It
will best service this
role, however,
not
by merely seeking
to
transfer commercial
products
from the
public
to the
private
sector-
as this is
likely
to have little
impact
in the
global
economic context-
but
by seeking
to
galvanise
the
learning-by-doing
and innovative
social and
technological capabilities
within the
private
sector.
Research that is most
likely
to succeed is one that is linked to the
private
sector context at its outset rather than
adjusted
later. In
most cases across
developing
nations,
such
strategies
necessitate
discarding
old models of
perceiving public/private
sector
linkages,
for these in
general
assume the usefulness of the
public
sector in
transferring
embodied
knowledge
rather than
stimulating
national
capacity
to absorb uncodified
knowledge.
Often,
these old models
seek to emulate observed
practice
in the United States or
Europe,
neglecting
to
identify
the most
important
environmental factor in
these advanced countries which is that the commercial environment
is
likely
to be
relatively
rich in
technological capability
to absorb
products
of
public enterprise
research
(Hill 1987). Again,
new
models
imply
the movement of
people
and close interactions
between the
public
and the
private
sectors-to build webs of
at TOURO COLLEGE LIBRARY on July 4, 2014 sts.sagepub.com Downloaded from
65
relationships
that influence research
chosen,
industrial
perspectives,
educational
curricula,
contracts
negotiated,
consultancies
awarded,
etc.
Support
of Small and Medium Industries
There are new
opportunities
for the small
player-both
at the firm
and the national level-that are
emerging
within the 1990s
global
market
place.
The
key
for
capitalising
on small
player advantage
lies in
promoting
small and innovative firms that can reach
deeply
and
responsively
into remote markets whilst
capturing technological
knowledge through
immediate
organisational
relations. The link-
ages
between SMEs and national
knowledge generating
resources,
however,
are weak in
developing
nations. The fault lies on both
sides of the
public/private
sector divide.
Many
SMEs
operate
with
very
low levels of formal education
skill;
their
technological
strat-
egies
are
likely
to be
largely
-those of
adopting unopened
techno-
logical
boxes rather, than
selecting, de-constructing, adapting,
improving
and
learning-by-doing.
Both absence of
learning-by-
doing
and thinness of the
supply
line of
knowledge generating
capability
from the
public
sector should be
major
causes for concern
in the S&T
policy
of
developing
countries.
Key
Areas for
Regional Cooperation
It should also be
recognised
that the more successful
emerging
nations in
Asia,
to which
many
other
developing
nations
may
refer,
partly
because of the sheer success of their economic
growth
over the
past
two
decades,
are also
confronting
a series of obstacles
to sustain their
continuing development.
Two of the most
important
obstacles concern environmental
sustainability
of industrial devel-
opment
and
quality
control/standards. Environmental concerns
figure
on the
agenda
for national
action,
not
necessarily
for inter-
national altruistic reasons
(when developing
nations look at the
high pollution
created
by
the most
developed
countries now
seeking
to control those that have not
yet
reached this
status),
but for
pragmatic
reasons. With enhanced
lifestyle
that results from eco-
nomic
success,
environmental issues enter the
political agenda;
with environmental
labelling
and standards now
being developed
and
implemented by
the OECD
countries-particularly
with the
at TOURO COLLEGE LIBRARY on July 4, 2014 sts.sagepub.com Downloaded from
66
emerging
ISO
14,000
environmental standards-trade
boycotts
for
polluting
industries are a real
possibility.
This is one area where
international S&T collaboration across
developing
countries and
regions
could be of critical
importance (Hill
et al.
1994).
Further-
more,
the
very
success of
development
also
produces
severe strains
behind the
leading edge
of economic
growth. Very
often,
the
introduction of more
sophisticated
means of
production
into an
established
industry
eliminated the
suppliers already
there,
because
the
gap
in
quality
control and technical standards is too vast
(Hill
1986).
The issue of
exploring quality
control and standards
through
the entire economic fabric of the nation-well behind the
leading
edge
of S&T
industry-is
of critical
importance
in
holding
the
economy
and its distribution of wealth
together
behind the
leading
edge
of international S&T
capture
within the
global economy.
Again,
there is considerable
scope
for
pre-competitive
S&T col-
laboration across
developing
nations in these areas.
Conclusions
Finally,
we return to the
global
context from which these
principles
for
developing
nation S&T
policy
derive. This is a
dynamic
context.
Developing
nations need to
develop highly
sensitive horizon-
watching capabilities
to ensure that the
strengths
of vision and
commitment that are
commonly
embodied in
five-year
and
longer-
term
plans
are not lost in
inflexibly targeting
an outmoded
global
S&T
perspective.
It is doubtful that
any one
could have
predicted
the rise of the current
global
S&T
dynamics
ten
years ago.
The
exercise of
horizon-watching
must be a continuous one.
Again,
this would
appear
to be a task of considerable
importance
that
developing
nations
might
well
approach together.
The interests of
the advanced nations or of the OECD members are
likely
to look
at these same horizons
through quite
different economic and
plan-
ning
filters. In a
global
conference on S&T indicators held
recently
in
Australia,20
for
example,
a
fundamentally
different
perspective
emerged
between OECD members and
representatives
of the
non-OECD countries of Asia: OECD
perspectives primarily
con-
cerned
innovation,
creating technological change;
Asian
developing
country perspectives primarily
focused on
capturing
the flows of
established
technologies.

Most
importantly
in the new
global
context it must be understood
that the
currency
of
global competitive advantage
has
changed
as
revealed
by
the
quote
from Robert Reich at the
beginning
of this
paper.
Within the new
agenda
what matters is the level of value-
added
activity
the nation is
engaged
in within the
global
networked
economic entities.
Ownership per
se
is, therefore,
secondary
and
the
capture
of
highly
mobile S&T
knowledge
is the
primary
concern.
Entirely
different
principles
of S&T
policy
are therefore
implied,
particularly emphasising
the
development
and flows of
people
and
embedding
national S&T advance into
aligned social/organisational
strategies.
The basic
key
word is
Linkages-at
institution to insti-
tution
level,
at the national and international levels.
Lined
up against developing
nations are
major cooperating
forces within
Japan,
the United States and
Europe
that have
generated highly competitive
cross-national S&T
linkages.
In order
to
gain
some
leverage against
this multinational
power, developing
nations either within or across
regions, might
well find it worth-
while to
identify key
areas of
advantage
that could be derived from
collaborative
pre-competitive input
of the kind that in
Europe
made the ESPRIT
(European Strategic Program
for Research and
Development
in Information
Technology) programme
so success-
ful,
to
forge strong linkages
across the
developing
nations so that
collectively they
are in a more dominant
position
within the
global
knowledge economy.
The ESPRIT
programme,
modelled on the
Japanese
VLSI
(Very Large
Scale
Integration)
initiative,
aimed to
develop pre-competitive generic (that
is,
applicable
across several
sectors)
research to be undertaken
by
firms and research institutes
on a collaborative basis.
Currently
ECU 3.7 billion has been com-
mitted.
Alternatively,
a
programme probably
of
greater
relevance
to the looser
inter-governmental relationships
of the South is the
European
EUREKA
(European
Research
Co-ordinating Agency)
programme. Proposed by
President Mitterand in 1985 as a Euro-
pean
programme
to counter the American Star Wars initiative and
to
prevent highly qualified
scientists and
technologists
in this area
migrating
abroad,
EUREKA has been
shaped
into an umbrella
mechanism for
encouraging
firm-to-firm collaborations. Unlike
ESPRIT,
the
programme
has no central
funding;
instead,
projects
are
badged, verifying
the
validity
of the collaboration
proposed,
and
thereby qualify
for R&D
support funding
from national
governments.
EUREKA is
highly
successful with
funding
in

▪
September
1992
amounting
to ECU 8.84
billion,
it covers a number
of
major European projects combining public
and
private
sector
funding,
for such
projects
as
development
of the
intelligent
motor-
car,
high
definition
TV,
and the next
generation
of semiconductors.2
As a
concluding
note it must be observed that
knowledge
flows
within the new
global
order of the 1990s are set in motion
by
intense
competition.
Crucial for
entry
into this
foray
is
support
from domestic
policies
that
strengthen
and direct national S&T
infrastructure
development,
as is
support
for the formation of
industrial clusters and
strategic
alliances.
However,
whilst
competi-
tion on the
global stage
is
strengthened by strategic cooperation,
it
is a hard
fought
battle at the
leading edge.
In
keeping
with Michael
Porters observation that
global competitive capability
derives from
competitive
skills honed at home
(Porter 1990),
economic
policies
of
developing
countries must define S&T
strategies
in an economic
policy
environment that
encourages
home based
competition, par-
ticularly
to
upgrade
the
dynamic efficiency
of
organisational (as
distinct from
technological) capacities.22
