The Role of Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property Protection in Investment in China and Southeast Asia

This article aims to explore the relationship and impact of technology transfer and intellectual property protection in Chinese investment within Southeast Asia. Against the backdrop of increasing globalization and cross-border collaboration, technology transfer has gained significant attention as a crucial means to promote innovation and international investment. However, the issue of intellectual property protection in the process of technology transfer has also raised widespread concerns. This study first provides an overview of the relevant theories and concepts related to technology transfer and intellectual property protection. Subsequently, it focuses on analyzing the challenges and opportunities faced by Chinese companies in their investments in Southeast Asia. Factors such as cultural differences, legal environments, and the uncertainty of intellectual property protection pose challenges to technology transfer. Nonetheless, technology transfer also presents opportunities for Chinese companies, including entry into new markets, accelerated innovation cycles, and enhanced competitiveness. In order to address challenges and leverage opportunities, companies need to formulate effective intellectual property protection strategies, underscore the importance of contracts and agreements, and strengthen international collaboration and cooperative innovation. Furthermore, the study points out in its future outlook that intelligent technology transfer and digital platforms will shape future developments. Exploration in emerging technological domains will bring forth new possibilities for technological collaboration. Governments play a pivotal role in this landscape, requiring strengthened establishment and enforcement of laws and regulations, promotion of talent development and exchange, and the advancement of sustainable development and social responsibility. Through the exploration of these issues, this research aims to provide valuable insights for the field of technology transfer and intellectual property protection, fostering the development of cross-border collaboration and innovation.

The impact of technology transfer on the green innovation efficiency of Chinese high-tech industry.

Promoting technology transfer is an important strategic measure for China to promote industrial innovation. However, there is little research exploring the influence of technology transfer on the green innovation efficiency (GIE) of China's high-tech industry (HTI). From the perspective of process, green innovation in HTI is a continuous three-stage system including research and development (R&D), commercialization, and diffusion. Therefore, we measure the GIE of China's HTI by using a three-stage network data envelopment analysis (NDEA) model considering environmental pollution and establish a series of regression models to investigate the role of the two main ways of technology transfer, domestic technology acquisition (DTA) and foreign technology introduction (FTI), in improving the GIE of HTI. The results show that the average GIE of China's HTI is 0.7727 from 2011 to 2020. Except for Jiangsu, Guangdong, Qinghai, and Xinjiang, green innovation in HTI in other provinces in China is inefficient. DTA has significantly promoted GIE in HTI. FTI has a positive impact on the GIE of HTI but is not statistically significant. The robustness test confirmed these results. This study is helpful to understand the differences between the effects of DTA and FTI on the GIE of China's HTI, to provide a basis for adjusting technology transfer policies.

ТРАНСФЕР ТЕХНОЛОГІЇ В УКРАЇНІ: СУЧАСНІ ВИКЛИКИ

The article is devoted to the study of the problematic issue of technology transfer in today's conditions. Legislators and by-laws regulating relations in the field of technology transfer are analyzed. Attention is drawn to the importance of scientific technologies and their implementation in the activities of industrial enterprises, which is an indispensable development of the economic growth of many leading economically developed countries, as well as a determining factor in the progress of society and the improvement of the welfare of citizens. Informational, analytical and statistical data on the impact of technology transfer on the financial condition of enterprises, institutions and organizations in relation to budget funds are presented. Among the positive financial indicators, based on the analysis of statistical data and scientific literature, attention is drawn and problems hindering the integration of the technology transfer process in domestic industrial enterprises are identified. In particular, these are: migration of scientists; insufficient amounts of funding for innovative activities; low innovative activity of active enterprises, which leads to a reduction in the share of innovative products both in the structure of production and in exports; low level of state support for innovation and demand for high-tech products; lack of stimulating technology transfer mechanisms. Using the example of the report of the State Enterprise «Ukrainian Institute of Intellectual Property» for 2021, attention is drawn to the decline in innovative activity of domestic enterprises. It is emphasized that in the conditions of a full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine, state support for innovations, inventors, and other authors of intellectual property rights is a guarantee of increasing the economic potential and military-industrial complex of the state. Addresses existing problematic issues of state security regarding the transfer of technology, protection of secret inventions, commercial secrets, other objects of intellectual property law, and suggests ways of solving problematic issues in the field of technology transfer in Ukraine.

Evaluating The Efficiency Of Technology Transfer In The Processing Industries: An Empirical Approach Based On Data Envelopment Analysis DEA Of The Processing Industries In The Souss-Massa Region

Technology transfer is a powerful growth factor in industrial value added in the processing industries. Of course, it is important to assess the efficiency of technology transfer in the processing industry by analysing its influencing factors and discussing strategies to improve technological innovation. However, it is still difficult to measure its direct impact on the improvement or creation of value added, and one of the most relevant indicators that could measure the real impact of technology transfer is efficiency. The efficiency of the modes of technology transfer will therefore be the comparative relationship between inputs and outputs in the technology transfer activities based. It is an indicator for measuring the profitability of technology investment in industrial transformation. In our study, we will try to integrate a mathematical tool that allows us to solve optimization problems using a program operating under different constraints imposed by a model. The usefulness of this model depends on the ability to implement it, by the managers of production lines who are called upon to implement R&D, innovation or technology transfer projects. Based on panel data of processing industries that use one or more modes of technology transfer in the Souss-Massa region, this article will examine trends in the efficiency of technology transfer use, mainly as a result of technological progress and the promotion of technology transfer.

The impact of technology transfer / policies on the economic catch-up of the Korean National Innovation System and its implications for Nigeria

Previous studies have shown that technology transfer is essential for innovation and knowledge diffusion. However, without appropriate policies, technology transfer cannot be successful. This research studied technology transfer and its policies in Korea with the aim to determine whether it contributed to the catching-up of the Korean economy while seeking to prove Schumpeter’s theory of innovation. In this study, a mixed methodology that involved the use of a systematic review of literature and an analysis of secondary data was employed. The results show that technology transfer policies are essential to economic growth and income generation of the National Innovation System (NIS) while fostering innovation. In line with this, three key policies were discovered that helped the Korean NIS make an economic catch-up from a developing country to a developed country. These are: Intellectual Property Rights, Foreign Direct Investment, and a third class (which was referred to as the general technology transfer policy) of technology transfer policies. These policies improve technology transfers by establishing free trade zones, giving tax breaks to foreign firms and easing the process of foreign direct investment. Based on these results, a policy structure was developed.

The impact of technology transfer on agribusiness performance in Kenya

ABSTRACTThis study examines how technology transfer can influence the performance of small businesses in developing countries like Kenya. The theoretical basis of the study is the technology transfer model, which integrates a consideration of the transfer provider with that of the recipient’s capacity. The study’s sample comprises 104 enterprises. Correlation and a regression model are used for content analysis. The results show that technology transfers improve small businesses’ performance and help drive rural development. The effectiveness of transferred technology has a major impact on small businesses’ competitiveness and access to international markets. These findings imply that governments must develop technology transfer strategies for small businesses in order to enhance both their performance and food security. Government policies for technology transfer should incorporate incentives for agricultural technology transfer to boost food security.

Gully erosion processes, disciplinary fragmentation, and technological innovation

AbstractThe development and evolution of gullies on soil‐mantled hillslopes can devastate agricultural regions and cause widespread soil and landscape degradation. Since 2000, international symposia have been organized to address gully erosion processes, and this paper and special issue provide additional context for the 7th International Symposium on Gully Erosion held at Purdue University in 2016. Several important themes of gully erosion emerged during this symposium that warranted additional discussion here. These topics include the importance and impact of technology transfer, disciplinary fragmentation as an impediment for research advancement, the difficulty in defining the erodibility of sediment within gullies, and the opportunities afforded by remote sensing technology. It is envisioned that such symposia will continue to enhance the capabilities of researchers and practitioners to monitor, model, and manage these important geomorphic processes and to mitigate landscape degradation. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Comparing North-South technology transfer and South-South technology transfer: The technology transfer impact of Ethiopian Wind Farms

The paper compares HydroChina’s involvement in Adama Wind Farm in Ethiopia as a case of South-South technology transfer to that of Vergnet, a French firm involved in the construction and financing of Ashegoda Wind Farm, as a case of North-South technology transfer. The impact of technology transfer is evaluated along four dimensions: capital goods and equipment, direct skill transfer, indirect skill transfer, and knowledge and expertise. In recent years, rise of south-south technology transfer led by Chinese-financed overseas renewable energy projects in developing countries has rekindled debate on motivations and impacts of China’s increasing engagements. However, the literature on impact of technology transfer in renewable energy is scarce and non-comparative in nature. This paper aims to fill in the gap. Through interviews with key stakeholders and detailed analysis of the negotiation and construction processes in both projects, the research shows although HydroChina shared a higher level of knowledge and expertise to local engineers and university scholars during the construction phase, Vergnet formed stronger long-term skill transfer linkages with local university students and employed a larger share of local workers than HydroChina. It is crucial to note the research presented here shows that host government, rather than donor country, has considerable capacity and can play a vital role in negotiating and maximizing technology transfer. In fact, the host government’s expectations and demands contributed to the variations in technology transfer patterns. The paper concludes with a discussion of potential opportunities and challenges, and policy recommendations to facilitate international technology transfer.

How Does it Matter to the Economy and Atmosphere in India if Production Frontier of Emission-Intensive Sectors Changes?

The importance of technology transfer has been acknowledged at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in the year 2000. However, very few countries like Mexico and Philippines have done some analysis on this issue. Hence, this is a pioneer study for Indian economy. This study has adopted input–output (IO) model to simulate impact of technology transfer from relatively developed economy on India’s gross domestic product (GDP), households’ income, employment, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission and acidification. The most efficient technologies have been identified after analysing the trade-off between economic growth and GHG emissions. Result argues that it is imperative to adopt Japanese technologies of power supply, gas and water supply to unfetter opportunities of high employment, GDP growth and mitigate GHG emissions and acidification. But in the wake of border carbon tax, China’s technology for food and beverages, France’s technology for chemical products along with Japan’s technology for basic metal can be adopted to achieve comparative advantage in the world market.

University entrepreneurship in South Africa: Developments in technology transfer practices

Although formalised practices of technology transfer at research institutions are well established in many developed countries, these practices are still very much in their infancy in South Africa. The country is however currently focused on improving technology transfer activities and measuring the performance thereof, as exemplified by the recent implementation of a new intellectual property act. In support of the latter and in an effort to obtain an accurate overview of the status quo of technology transfer in South Africa, it was decided to evaluate organisational structures and key factors determining successful technology transfer at 13 publicly funded research institutions. It is recommended that technology transfer practices in South Africa be further strengthened through the expansion of dynamic collaborative networks and communities of practice. Crucial to these objectives is the development of appropriate metrics for measuring the successes and impact of technology transfer, taking into account the socio-economic and institutional specificities in South Africa.

Building Chinese global brands through soft technology transfer

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the different strategies implemented by a number of successful Chinese firms currently striving to build global brands in order to improve their export capabilities. A particular emphasis is put on the transfer of marketing technology for brand engineering in order to achieve this goal.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis uses case study methodology to understand what many prominent Chinese exporting firms have achieved, and develops a theory about their general strategy. Five firms have been chosen: Lenovo, Haier, Cosco, Tsingtao, Geely. Aside from these five, information is also given on the branding strategy of Li Ning and Suntech Power. A great part of the information collected is coming from “desk research”, except for Haier, Lenovo and Tsingtao for which personal contacts and visits took place in 2005 and 2006.FindingsThe findings suggest that some of the most successful Chinese firms in the field of development of brand image either use some marketing tools, such as increasing their communication spending, improving quality control, emphasizing their corporate social responsibility visibility, or by seeking a partnership through mergers/acquisition with successful foreign brands. A basic global branding model has been defined as consistent with Chinese firms’ experience.Research limitations/implicationsThe study was limited to seven firms to be considered among the most successful Chinese businesses. It does not intend to be perceived as statistically representative. The period of observation of the effect of the strategy which was implemented was short and during a time of booming Chinese economy. It was impossible to isolate the extraneous variables linked to the economic or competitive situation, knowing that they could affect the observations on the firms that were studied.Originality/valueThough the entry strategies on the Chinese market as well as inbound foreign direct investments have been the object of a great number of publications, the outbound strategies of Chinese exporting firms, as well as the impact of technology transfer, has been covered less frequently. Therefore, this paper can have value for candidates for the improvement of global branding.

Sustaining development in the GCC countries: the impact of technology transfer

The failure of conventional development to combat poverty has given rise to the concept of sustainable development. After decades of experience with Western economic models, the non-industrialised countries continue to suffer from inadequate economic stimulus to sustain growth. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries of the Arabian Gulf are newly emerging states intending to obtain developed countries status and to manage globalisation. Technology transfer could provide alternative means for rapid growth and sustaining development by substituting capital for labour. To this end, vigorous policy measures and strong government backing must be introduced if these countries will have a chance for achieving their objectives.

The impact of technology transfer and R & D on productivity growth in Taiwanese industry: Microeconometric analysis using plant and firm-level data

This paper conducts a comparative empirical analysis of the impact of R & D spending and purchases of foreign technology on output and productivity in Taiwanese industry. We employ data from two different sources, providing an econometric perspective on this question at two different levels of aggregation. We first conduct empirical analysis using data from the Taiwanese government's industrial census of technological activities at the plant level. This study is, to the best of our knowledge, the first empirical analysis using these data. We complement these results with analyses of data at the firm level. The results of our regression analyses generally support the conclusion that both R & D spending and purchases of foreign technology have contributed positively to Taiwanese productivity growth. J. Japanese Int. Economies 20 (2) (2006) 177–192.

Technology transfer and innovation performance: Evidence from Chinese firms

This paper explores the relationship between technology transfer activities and innovation performance with special reference to Chinese industrial firms. It is based on a recent nationwide survey covering 2334 Chinese industrial firms. The impact of technology transfer on their innovative performance was analyzed for all the responded firms and similar analyses also addressed the issue from perspectives of general industrial firms versus high-tech firms, and large firms versus small and medium firms. Several critical types of technology transfer activities were identified and both positive and negative impacts were discussed along with the Pearson correlation analysis and stepwise regression analysis. The study revealed that the innovation activities in Chinese manufacturing firms could not be boosted substantially merely through the acquisition of key equipment and apparatus from abroad. The findings also suggested that Chinese firms should develop their technological absorptive capacity and transformative capacity, and foster technology transfer and communications among trading partners. Moreover, it would be crucial for Chinese firms to stress the nurturing of indigenous innovation capabilities so as to sustain their performance improvement.

Measuring the Impact of University Technology Transfer

This paper discusses measures that capture the impact of university technology transfer activities on a university's local and regional economies (economic impact). Such assessments are of increasing interest to policy makers, researchers and technology transfer professionals, yet there have been few published discussions of the merits of various measures. The bottom line is that no single measure can capture the many aspects of technology transfer; rather, any assessment of the impact of technology transfer on local and regional economies must be discussed with regard to several measures. The authors offer two constructs for assessing the impact of university technology transfer on local and regional economies: direct versus indirect impacts and benchmarking analysis against a proper counterfactual. They also discuss, as an example, a project at the University of California that aims to develop an information infrastructure which can be used in the future to provide data to support the types of assessments discussed in the paper.
