Business Technology Innovation and the
Orientation of Research Quality in Southern Mediterranean Countries “The BIG 5”
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
