Reports

Abstract

R&D internationalization is an important phenomenon. It involves the global allocation of a precious resource for national economies. The reason for this Report is that there is a strong feeling, based on partial evidence, that Europe is not taking part as it should do in the global knowledge economy game. For example, the share of US overseas R&D expenditures in Europe is declining while its share of overseas R&D expenditures in other countries (particularly in Asia) is increasing fast. Peculiar policy measures targeted specifically to turning R&D internationalization to the benefit of particular countries or regions are difficult to ascertain. We have observed that the policy toolbox overlaps, to a large extent, with the more generic ones that aim to enhance R&D capacities and innovation systems. However increasing R&D mobility reinforces the importance of some policy axes. This Report thus reviews and underscores the importance of these R&D investment-related policy axes.

Knowledge economy

The knowledge economy, or knowledge-based economy, is an economic system in which the production of goods and services is based principally on knowledge-intensive activities that contribute to advancement in technical and scientific innovation. The key element of value is the greater dependence on human capital and intellectual property as the source of innovative ideas, information and practices. Organisations are required to capitalise on this "knowledge" in their production to stimulate and deepen the business development process.

Knowledge transfer

Knowledge transfer is the sharing or disseminating of knowledge and the providing of inputs to problem solving. In organizational theory, knowledge transfer is the practical problem of transferring knowledge from one part of the organization to another. Like knowledge management, knowledge transfer seeks to organize, create, capture or distribute knowledge and ensure its availability for future users. It is considered to be more than just a communication problem.

Knowledge management

Knowledge management (KM) is the collection of methods relating to creating, sharing, using and managing the knowledge and information of an organization. It refers to a multidisciplinary approach to achieve organizational objectives by making the best use of knowledge. An established discipline since 1991, KM includes courses taught in the fields of business administration, information systems, management, library, and information science. Other fields may contribute to KM research, including information and media, computer science, public health and public policy.
