“…One way of measuring innovation is the production of patents, which represent a technological advancement produced by individuals (generally, these are inventors on the patents) working at research institutions (generally, these are the assignees on the patent). The analysis of bibliographic databases has provided techniques for evaluating information spillovers [2][3][4] , mobility between regions [5][6][7] , interregional and international collaborations 6,[8][9][10][11] , and the emergence of new technologies 12 in the context of patent and publication activities. Among many others, these studies have provided an in-depth picture of the dynamics of regional and institutional talents and quantify the success of various inter-organizational and inter-regional collaboration, of great use to policy makers on the institutional, regional, and international level.…”

Disambiguation of Patent Inventors and Assignees Using High-Resolution Geolocation Data

Patent data represent a significant source of information on innovation, knowledge production, and the evolution of technology through networks of citations, co-invention and co-assignment. A major obstacle to extracting useful information from this data is the problem of name disambiguation: linking alternate spellings of individuals or institutions to a single identifier to uniquely determine the parties involved in knowledge production and diffusion. In this paper, we describe a new algorithm that uses high-resolution geolocation to disambiguate both inventors and assignees on about 8.5 million patents found in the European Patent Office (EPO), under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), and in the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). We show this disambiguation is consistent with a number of ground-truth benchmarks of both assignees and inventors, significantly outperforming the use of undisambiguated names to identify unique entities. A significant benefit of this work is the high quality assignee disambiguation with coverage across the world coupled with an inventor disambiguation (that is competitive with other state of the art approaches) in multiple patent offices.

This paper discusses Dynamic Capabilities (DC) models presented in some earlier previous studies. The author shows that there are many fundamental and good thoughts that need to be organized and clearly specified in a full and comprehensive framework. The paper contributes by introducing a new framework for DC using an updated set of components. Also this paper provides another model that reflects DC from higher level perspective, whereas other issues such as strategic alignment and leadership are clearly included. The paper also contributes by provision of the whole understandable process of how DC can be formed.

a b s t r a c tThe role of education and training in the aerospace sector for establishing sufficient levels of absorptive capacity in newly industrialized countries is substantial and forms a fundamental part of a nation's ability to establish and cultivate absorptive capacity on a national or organization-specific level. Successful international technology transfer as well as absorption of aerospace technology and knowledge into recipient organizations, depends prodigiously on the types of policy adopted in education and training of all groups and individuals specifically outlined in this paper. The conducted literature review revealed surprisingly few papers that translate these vital issues from theoretical scrutiny into representations that have practical policy value. Through exploration of the seven key aspects of education and training, this paper provides a practical template for policy-makers and practitioners in Asian newly industrialized countries, which may be utilized as a prototype to coordinate relevant policy aspects of education and training in international technology transfer projects across a wide variety of actors and stakeholders in the aerospace realm. A pragmatic approach through tailored practical training for the identified groups and individuals identified in this paper may lead to an enhanced ability to establish and strengthen absorptive capacity in newly industrialized countries through the development of appropriate policy guidelines. The actual coordination between education and training efforts deserves increased research and subsequent translation into policies with practical content in the aerospace sector.
