Environmental Regulation and Green Technology Diffusion: A Case Study of Yangtze River Delta, China

As an important driver of green technology innovation, the impact of environmental regulation on the diffusion of green technology remains controversial. Taking China’s Yangtze River Delta (YRD) urban agglomeration, as an example, and using green patents transfer to measure green technology diffusion, this paper analyzes the effect of environmental regulation on green technology diffusion by revealing the temporal and spatial characteristics of green technology diffusion in the YRD. The results show that: (1) Green technology transfer activities in the YRD mainly take place in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, and other cities. (2) Green building technology is the most demanded technology in the green technology transfer market in the YRD. (3) The direction of green technology diffusion in the YRD has changed significantly over time. In the early stage, green technologies mainly flowed to developed cities such as Shanghai, Suzhou, and Nanjing. However, in the later stage, green technologies mainly flowed from developed cities such as Shanghai, Suzhou, and Nanjing to cities with lower economic development levels (mostly located in Anhui Province). (4) The consistency of environmental regulation among cities plays an important role in promoting green technology transfer within the YRD, which is precisely what the YRD ecological green integrated development strategy emphasizes, breaking the administrative barriers between cities in the YRD and accelerating the flow of green technology between cities.

Technology Transfer Performance and Mindsets of TTO Staff:— Evidence from Japan and Europe —

A comparative analysis focusing on the mindsets of technology transfer office's (TTO) staff supporting the commercialization of university-based research is presented in this paper. The study compares Japanese TTO staff with European TTO staff through which the academia-industry related laws preparation period and scale of technology transfer market resemble those of Japan. The research analyzes three mindsets: mindsets toward cost effectiveness of intellectual property management; mindsets toward commercialization of university-based research; and mindsets toward contributions to local communities. These results may suggest Japanese TTO staff leaning toward the mindset of commercialization of university-based research and have a strong mindset of utilizing from university patents. However, Japanese TTO staff exhibit a weak mindset toward cost effectiveness of intellectual property management and local social contributions.

The Value of the Participation of Actors in the Technology Transfer Process: a Strategic Vector

Goal. In the modern economic system, a significant role is played by the development of new technologies, which are the driver of innovation. The changing nature of technology and knowledge transfer between the academic and industrial sectors is also a prominent area of study. However, there is no effective interaction system between researchers producing new technologies with commercialization potential and enterprises in the commercial sector, designed to enhance the innovative development of the economy. This article discusses the strategic meaning of the participation of various technology transfer market agents in the process of interaction between innovators and enterprises in the field of commercialization. A strategic approach to the main groups of participants and stakeholder analysis ensures high-quality ownership of the received technology and minimizes risks during the entire stage of the technology transfer implementation. A carefully verified description of technological capabilities in terms of their unique components and features allows the business to understand what might be the potential basis for its future competitive advantage. Methods. In this article, using such general scientific methods of cognition as analysis, synthesis and induction, we analyze the value orientations of a technology transfer market participant. The authors concluded that ignoring the interest of each agent in the technology transfer market can reduce the synergistic effectiveness of government measures and mechanisms to support the technology transfer process. As a result of the study, the values of the participation of key innovation actors in the technology transfer process were identified.

Technology transfer with search intensity and project advertising

We present a model where technology transfer (TT) is embedded into a non cooperative model of utility and profit maximization and is the result of an endogenous matching process between technology transfer offices and innovative firms. We show that TT strictly depends on the costs of searching researchers and firm advertising for vacant projects. In this scenario, technology progress might be excessively low if technology transfer offices search for project matches too much intensively. The result occurs because both sides of the market ignore the externalities of their decisions. Complementarity or substitutability between the tightness in the TT market and the technology stock are both potential equilibrium outcomes.

Profit Allocation and Realization in Regional Technology Transfer Alliance Based on Game Theory

Regional technology transfer alliance consists of universities, scientific research institutions, enterprises, governments and technology agencies. Through the behavior game analysis of profit allocation between technology transfer participants, we propose that the profit allocation in regional technology transfer alliance is a consequence of gaming process among the participants. The governments and technology agencies should undertake the technology transfer market value assessment and market regulation to improve a sustained and stable cooperation in technology transfer between the technology supplier and demander. The transfer profit can realize by the ways of lump sum payment or payment by instalments, royalty payment, mixed royalty payment, production investment payment, service investment payment and mixed payment.

The growth of China’s technology transfer industry over the next decade: implications for global markets

China has moved mightily over the last 30 years to increase its capacity to develop indigenous technology to invigorate its industrial base and shift it from the world’s factory to the world’s developer and manufacturer of products. To achieve this requires buttressing an emerging intellectual property system, increasing university research while encouraging scientists to patent and commercialize their discoveries. Additionally, the development of a functioning and agile venture capital system to invest in these new technologies, coupled with liquid equity markets for consummating IPO’s have been developed in record time. Will these remarkable efforts be sufficient to allow China to dominate the technology transfer market domestically or internationally over the next 10 years? The conclusions are twofold: on one hand, China undoubtedly will become the world’s largest customer for technology transfers both domestically and internationally, but global leadership in new technology development and licensing from research institutions is unlikely to be achieved over the next 10 years. Foreign firms, especially those within the US or with strong ties to the US are most likely to dominate this sector due to the US’s comprehensive university network coupled with its well established IP technology transfer industry.

온라인 기술이전정보의 통합 콘텐츠 관리체제 구축에 관한 연구

온라인 기술이전시장은 단순한 기술 수요자와 공급자가 만나는 자리일 뿐만 아니라 기술이전 관련 정보를 제공함으로써 기술이전에 있어서 그 시간적, 물리적 비용을 줄이는 데 그 존재의 이유가 있다. 기술이전시 정보제공에는 시의성이 중요한 요인으로 작용하므로 이를 효율적으로 관리하기 위한 콘텐츠 통합관리 시스템이 요구된다. 종래의 온라인 기술이전정보 제공 사이트는 단순한 기술정보의 제공과 수시로 발생하는 기술판 매자나 수요자의 갱신상황을 반영하지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기술수요자나 기술공급자에게 보다 시의적절한 정보를 제공할 수 있는 방안을 제시하기 위하여 온라인 기술이전정보 통합 시스템에 대한 구현의 예를 제시하고자 한다. The aim of online technology transfer market is not just to offer meeting place for technology seller and technology buyer, but to save cost and time in technology transfer by providing information on technology transfer. Providing timely information in technology transfer is important. As such integrated management system of the technology transfer information is required for efficient management of information on technology transfer. The existing online technology transfer sites provide simple technology information and can not check and update information from technology seller or buyer. This paper present an example of integrated management system of the technology transfer information which provides technology seller and buyer timely information.

Spatial Distribution of Patents in China

SUN Y. (2000) Spatial distribution of patents in China, Reg. Studies 34 , 441-454. It is found that patents in China are highly clustered in two groups of provinces: one is the economically fast growing coastal provinces; and the other is inland provinces with large bases of populations, while the degree of spatial concentration of patents is declining over time. It is also revealed that export, together with 'technical infrastructure' including producer services and development of technology transfer market explains most of the provincial variation of patents. Furthermore, foreign ventures do not seem to be an important player in China's innovation system, while both state-owned and collective-owned industries contribute significantly to creations of new products in China. Finally, some commonly cited significant factors for innovations in western literature such as research and development (R&D) and agglomeration do not seem to explain the spatial distribution of patents in China. It is argued that such discrepancies between western 'common sense' and Chinese experience are largely attributed to China's inefficient innovation system, which has not been able to develop its potentiality. SUN Y. (2000) La distribution géographique des brevets en Chine, Reg. Studies 34 , 441-454. Il s'avère qu'en Chine les brevets sont groupés autour de deux grappes de provinces: l'une comprend les provinces côtières en pleine expansion, l'autre inclut les provinces intérieures caractérisées par de grands bassins de populations. Toujours est-il que la concentration géographique des brevets diminue avec le temps. Il est évident aussi que l'exportation, conjointement avec l'infrastructure technique, y compris les services d'équipement et le développement du marché du transfert de la technologie, explique dans une large mesure la distribution provinciale des brevets. De plus, il semble que les entreprises étrangères n'ont pas de rôle important à jouer dans le système d'innovation en Chine, alors que les industries sous contrôle de l'État ou collectivisées contribuent de façon importante aux créations des produits nouveaux en Chine. Pour conclure, quelques idées reçues, puisées dans la documentation occidentale, sur les facteurs qui facilitent l'apparition des innovations, tels la recherche et le développement (R et D), et l'agglomération, ne suffisent pas à expliquer la distribution géographique des brevets en Chine. On affirme que de tels écarts entre le bon sens occidental et l'expérience chinoise peuvent être attribués dans une large mesure au système d'innovation chinois inefficace qui n'a pas exploité pleinement ses possibilités. SUN Y. (2000) Räumliche Verteilung von Patenten in China, Reg. Studies 34 , 441-454. Es erweist sich, daß Patente in China stark gehäuft in zwei Provinzgruppen auftreten: eine in den Küstenprovinzen, die ein rasches Wachstum zu verzeichnen haben, die andere in den Inlandprovinzen, die Standort beträchtlicer Bevölkerungszahlen sind, doch das Ausmaß der räumlichen Konzentration von Patenten läßt im Laufe der Zeit nach. Es zeigt sich auch, daß Export, sowie ''technische Infrastruktur'' einschließlich HerstellerDienstleistungen und Entwicklung von Märkten für Technologietransfer größtenteils die Unterschiede zwischen Provinzen bezüglich Patenten erklären. Darüberhinaus scheinen Auslandsunternehmungen keine bedeutende Rolle im Innovationssystem Chinas zu spielen, während sowohl im staatlichen Besitz wie im Kollektivbesitz befindliche Industrien in China beträchtlich zur Schaffung neuer Produkte beitragen. Manche in der westlichen Literatur oft als für Innovation bedeutsam erklärten Faktoren schließlich, wie etwa Forschung und Entwicklung, und Ballung, geben jedoch anscheinend keine gute Erklärung für die räumliche Verteilung von Patenten in China ab. Es wird die Behauptung aufgestellt, daß solche Diskrepanzen zwischen westlichem ''gesunden Menschenverstand'' und Erfahrungen, die in China gemacht wurden, weitgehend Chinas schlecht funktionierendes Innovationssystem zugeschrieben werden, dem es nicht gelungen ist, sein Potential zu erreichen.
