Evaluates the net social benefits of advanced encryption standards. This is one of many areas where the National Institute for Standards and Technology has promoted innovation and industrial competitiveness to ensure that public and private computer systems can protect the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of digital information.
Offers a detailed description of the successful technology transfer of an invention originating in intramural research within the US National Institutes of Health. The history of the commercialization of the invention is used to illustrate a new policy for the payment of royalties on the sales of biomedical products developed with public funding.
Presents a case study protocol and analyses of nine technology transfer success stories across federal agencies and their research laboratories to begin to fill a gap in the existing literature where there is less available research on the impact and the mechanisms of technology transfer from federal labs.
Traces the historical roots of science and technology advice for Congress and chronicles the creation and evolution of the four organisations that provided this advice over the past half century - the National Research Council, the Congressional Research Service, the former Office of Technology Assessment, and the Government Accountability Office.
Examines an overlooked metric associated with the impact of the Bayh-Dole Act, namely its effect on influencing university-based technology transfer policies in other countries. To substantiate this thesis, Bayh-Dole like university technology transfer policies in 20 other countries are reviewed.
Makes the case that US economic growth policy has not responded to the growing competitive pressures from globalization. Specifically, the federal government has placed excessive reliance on business-cycle management and recently on trade barriers in the form of tariffs.
Examines the evolution of industrial, science and technology policy from a small country perspective. In particular, the book focuses on the evolution of Irish industrial development, the development of Irish industrial cluster, and Ireland's education research policy designed to build capacity and scientific capabilities.
Examines the conceptual and program models that exist for the design and implementation of government support of business innovation at different jurisdictional levels. The book explores the traditional neoclassical approach to innovation policy and more recent evolutionary approaches.
Examines the role of the federal government in the development of major innovations. This is done in a purely descriptive manner, specifically identifying and describing major products, industries, and firms resulting from US government funding of research in the years since World War II.
Describes the economic rationales, policy elements, implementation mechanisms, and expected economic impacts of 'technology-based economic development' (TBED) strategies that are being pursued in almost all 50 states within the U.S. economy.
Describes the One North Carolina Small Business Program's purpose and history, as well as offers an assessment of whether it has met its stated goals and objectives. The book provides both descriptive findings as well as econometric assessments of the Program against its four stated goals.
Provides a nontechnical reference source of the relevant social science and policy literature on nanotechnology. The authors hope to engender not only a greater appreciation of the economic and social benefits of nanotechnology but also to encourage more extensive research and public support of this technology.
Weaves together a history of theories of the diffusion of innovations in selected academic disciplines, tracing the influence of these theories in the formulation of national science and technology policies from 1960 to the present.
This monograph surveys the current state of the art including the concept of indicators and a schematic model of the STI system that can identify gaps in the set of indicators commonly in use.
The objective of Policies for the Provision of Finance to Science-Based Entrepreneurship is to survey the policies implemented to foster the establishment of science-based firms and finance their growth.
In the U.S. and throughout most of the world, university research is becoming increasingly bureaucratized. Bureaucratization in Academic Research Policy: What Causes It? explains the reasons of bureaucratization and, in doing so, relies on theory and research about red tape and bureaucratic pathology.
Tracks the evolution of US science policy research largely as it has been conducted in universities and supported by the National Science Foundation, from its beginnings in the early 1960s to the present, from reliance on expert opinion to more systematic, empirical studies.
The Roles and Impacts of Technical Standards on Economic Growth and Implications for Innovation Policy assesses the economic nature, roles, and impacts of technical standards over the entire technology life cycle and the required public policies to effectively provide this critical infrastructure.
