Public Sector Research and Industry Linkages in the Context of Indigenous Innovation Diffusion

Abstract

A norm oriented survey conducted in the context of public R&D system in the country vis-a- vis industrial interaction, aimed at innovations and technology diffusion as a pan of technology transfer efforts, has been presented. The results are compared with those reported in a developed country context. Available models on public sector research- industry linkages have been discussed for analytical purpose to derive information on factors critical to technology management and innovation diffusion for industrial competitiveness. Norms and patterns for information flows, interaction capabilities and linkages mechanisms have been identified to assist in effective technology transfer management efforts in the context of public funded R&D (Public Sector
