“…We used PCT applications as a relevant measure of learning outcome, as the patent count data reflects technological advancement in aerospace industry (Beaudry, 2001;Winthrop et al, 2002). In fact, since applying for a PCT patent involves considerable costs and time, firms file as a PCT patent applications inventions that they consider as important and deemed to be profitable and applicable in other countries (Noailly and Batrakova, 2010).…”

a b s t r a c tThis paper identifies different patterns of latecomers' technological learning in developing complex products systems (CoPS). The experiences of South Korea, China, and Brazil in military aircraft development are compared to explain the learning process in attaining indigenous technological capability. The military aircraft development programs involving international technology transfer agreements have been documented to investigate the technological learning patterns. We find different technology acquisition modes determined by latecomers' focus of knowledge-base: technological for "make" and production for "buy". We also find that these modes may influence the process of learning-by-doing. In addition, we find how the role of foreign partners influences technology acquisition mode. Whereas an active role results in co-production or co-development arrangement, a passive role leads to the vitalization of reverse engineering. We also shed light on the role of government policy initiatives that facilitate technological learning. Lastly, this paper extensively documented the successful technological learning in South Korea's T-50 and Brazil's AMX joint venture projects.

“…We will have to make the assumption that work is published within 5 years time. This assumption is validated by the findings of Winthrop et al where it was demonstrated that applied and development research had a relationship with R&D inputs with a lag of t year [18]. The following proposed model will test the relationship between nanotechnology patents and NNI grants awarded, where Patt represents the number of US patents for each keyword.…”

Nanotechnology is predicted to create the Sixth Kondratieff period following the "Age of Information". It represents a new revolutionary approach in fundamental research moving from a macrocentric to nanocentric system. Nanotechnology is expected to stimulate 1 trillion dollars of production involving about 2 million workers in the next 10 to 15 years.More than 40 countries now have specific nanotechnology research funding programs with the common goal of finding greater uses for the emerging technologies and enacting measures to encourage commercialization. This study uses text mining to uncover trends in nanotechnology and changes in nanotechnology programs and applications since the first distribution of the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) funds in 2001. Top keywords in current nanotechnology research will be analyzed to provide insight into the translation of government funding invested in applied research programs to resulting publications and patents. Future work will extend this text mining model to develop an emerging technology roadmap to uncover commercialization opportunities by using R&D project funding at this lowest level to roll up to the technology and product dimensions.

Defense logistics (DL) is an important and yet unexplored knowledge area of Production Engineering. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to establish the DL problem domain. The focus is on industrial, technological, institutional, organizational and, specially, strategic management aspects applied to logistics in the defense sector. It also proposes a conceptual framework identifying DL objectives, functional areas and interfaces with the environment. The framework defines the Defense Logistics Base (DLB) as a system meant to create and sustain military capability, but also involved with the development of industrial capability, related to high and medium-high technologies, applied to high value products, with dual use. Furthermore, it suggests a research agenda for future work on strategic management related to DL.
