BARRIERS OF TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION ENCOUNTERED BY R&D ORGANISATIONS
Journal Title: Journal of Machine Construction and Maintenance - Year 2018, Vol 108, Issue 1
Abstract
The application of innovations is acknowledged as a driver for economic and social development. However, the processes of technology development and transfer are affected by numerous barriers, which are understood as any kind of limitations that hamper the effective functioning of asystem of the generation, execution, and transfer of innovative technologies, and, as a result, block co-operation between the R&D and enterprises in the implementation and commercialisation processes. The paper tackles the problems of barriers in the field of innovation activity encountered by R&D organisations in the course of their co-operation with industry. The author presents barriers observed at different levels: strategic, tactical, and operational ones. Against this background, the examples of barriers met in practice in the selected domains, surface engineering and optomechatronics, are presented. Technology transfer processes hampered by the influence of different types of barriers are real barriers encountered in practice by the author in his many-year involvement in co-operation with enterprises and the implementation of innovative research results into economic practice at a Polish research organisation (Institute for Sustainable Technologies – National Research Institute – ITeE – PIB). Finally, the author presents possible instruments of weakening or eliminating technology transfer barriers. One of the methods proposed is an application of an original IT tool developed at ITeE-PIB, which is called an “innovative project generator,” gathering information on partners, possible projects and calls for proposals and possible barriers. It is an idea based on the assumption of the close cooperation of an R&D organisation with potential industrial partners consisting in gathering information about the research needs of the economic milieu and the suggested innovative undertakings.
