The importance of technological innovation in defining and shaping our global economy has made it a central research topic over the past decade. The rise of electronics manufacturing technology, specifically the silicon transistor technology, is considered a major factor influencing technological innovation and in turn, affecting the world’s economic and social transformation. The process of te...

We empirically estimated the effect of three types of investment in acquiring technological knowledge (in-house R&D, importing foreign technology and purchasing domestic technology) on the innovation output of Chinese firms in four hi-tech industries. These investments on technology are assumed to generate different types of knowledge, which in turn contribute to the enhancement of the technolo...

The government's call for “indigenous innovation” has led to significant development in China's science, technology innovation policy and building collaborative relations between research institutions and industry in China. Despite the scale of central government funding for R&D and various government-initiated programmes to stimulate knowledge generation significant challenges remain. Some of ...

I empirically investigated the effect of three types of investment in acquiring technological knowledge (in-house R&D, importing foreign technology and purchasing domestic technology) on the innovation output of Chinese domestic firms in hi-tech industries. These investments on technology are assumed to generate different types of knowledge, which in turn contribute to the enhancement of the te...

Public sector healthcare services are both large users and innovators of health technologies. In the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) initiatives have been developed to manage the process of technological innovation more effectively. This has two main aims, to maximize potential commercial returns from innovations developed within the NHS; and to improve levels of patient care through appropr...

Purpose – Despite the growing prominence of innovation, limited studies examine the adoption of applications that support innovation processes. The purpose of this study is to investigate the adoption of innovation management applications (IMAs). Design/methodology/approach – The paper draws on qualitative and quantitative evidence sourced from innovation development and commercialization funct...

this paper is a study in different kinds of innovations in the product-design field and the way of categorization of them and station point of industrial design in this process. the research process comprised the following five steps: 1. defining the research problem and establishing its methodology; 2.selecting and describing samples; 3. analyzing data and shaping hypotheses; 4. testing the ca...
