Abstract

The art of managing business technology innovation is the key factor for issues and strategy for developing countries as part of overall quality improvement for research & development, Stating the BIG FIVE ( Big 5 Major Problems) the working knowledge and lack of world-class research universities, which lead to a characterized poor business technology model, political instability and governance conditions & constrains. Focusing on relationship between technology innovation and research & development, and addressing the question of how it should be adapted to the realities of southern Mediterranean nations

Today, most of the innovations are limited with developed countries like USA, Japan and Europe while developing countries are still behind in the field of innovation and management of technology.
But it is also becoming a subject for rapid progress and development in developing countries.
Innovation and technology environment in developing countries are by nature, problematic, characterized by poor business models, political  instability and governance conditions, low education level and lack of world-class research universities
Issues in Developing Countries
The innovation process and technology management is emerging field in the developing-world companies. Innovation and technology environment in developing
countries are by nature,
ü Poor business model
ü Government conditions
ü Low education level
ü Poor management of technology
ü Poor condition of infrastructure
The world ranking of top 500 universities , only 3% universities belong to developing countries and remaining 97% world top ranking universities belong to developed countries (North America: 44%, Europe: 34%, Asia: 19%).
The academies of these top ranked universities have also strong affiliations with entrepreneurs and most of the academies are also entrepreneurs by themselves.
Graduated from the U.S or European universities on returning to their countries approach their  responsibilities in their own country seeking to transfer what they have learned to their own home environment.
Innovation and technology at grass root level in developing countries is a new emerging attention. These innovations may not be commercialized at global level but these can be new sources of innovation at national level.
The real problem is to:
ü Identify
ü Objectify 
ü Patent these innovations
ü Commercialize it at national level
Research in developing countries is limited to :
ü Publications
ü Develop link with industries
ü Business modeling
ü Proposed Solution


Proposed Solution

The government should also take initiatives for improvement of existence infrastructure and development of new infrastructure.

ü To facilitate the proper exploitation of such knowledge in innovation process
ü Researchers to be trained toward meeting specific developing countries
ü Eliminate country’s policies and constrains towards R&D processes
ü Develop Quality research result by  maximizing number of publications  among word notable journals
ü Empower the business technology model for future expansion among  world market

How to measure quality across Industries and Businesses
      Creating transparency
      Enabling experimentation to discover needs, expose variability, and improve performance
      Segmenting populations to customize actions
      Replacing/supporting human decision making
      Innovating new business models, products, and services

The missing  QUALLITY of Business & Research

Creative industries as a whole tend to have difficulty marketing outside of their region, because of a lack of general business skills. They tend to rely on their local shops, publishers and advertisers to find customers.
Innovation Idea + Tools + Validation = Success Business Trip
