“…Studies of technology management, innovation management, and industrial technology management are related to how an enterprise is managed innovatively (Haneda & Ito, 2018;Medcof, 2017;Nowacki & Bachnik, 2016), how universities and R&D institutes produce knowledge, make its commercialization to market, and develop technology to improve business competitiveness (Christensen, 2002;Nowacki & Bachnik, 2016;Sakapurnama et al, 2020). In comparison, innovation and entrepreneurship studies are close to new start-ups, new small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and new businesses created innovatively by involving advanced technology facilities and creative design (Kardoyo et al, 2018;Sulistyo & Siyamtinah, 2016).…”

Universities have been widely acknowledged as knowledge producers contributing to innovation practice in many countries. They play main role in doing research and development (R&D) activities and then commercializing outputs of R&D to market. In addition, role of university is also as producer of knowledge for innovation policy. Notwithstanding, the role of university in promoting innovation policy is rarely founded in scientific publications. This study is aimed to explain role of university in promoting innovation policy by comparing three countries in Southeast Asia namely, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Three countries were called as the “Asian Tiger” in 1960s, but they have different economic growth currently. Literature studies are main data sources used to this study. Also, the post-positivistic approach and descriptive analysis technique are part of this research method. The study finding that Thailand and Malaysia have specific study course of innovation policy at universities. They have contributed to promote innovation policy at both countries.Keywords: Role, Universities, Innovation, Policy, Southeast Asia

“…In this manner, one could say that firms that are customer-focused and understand customer preferences better than others will also either borrow or develop products or services to meet or even beat customer expectations and hence are more likely to be technologically superior to its competitors. We are operationalizing TL (Medcof, 2017; Yan et al , 2017; Wu, 2014; Weiss and Adams, 2011) construct in our study through observed variables such as innovation leadership, striving for bringing out new products, striving for adopting developments in core technology areas, adopting developments in allied areas, by striving to be perceived as technological leaders by customers and competitors in the industry. Keeping in mind that this study will involve key decision-makers on technology-related issues, the language of the observed variables was accordingly adjusted.…”

Purpose This study aims to develop and empirically examine a model that investigates the mediating role of technology development capability (TDC) on the relationship between customer focus (CF) and technology leadership (TL). Design/methodology/approach The analysis and interpretation of a partial least square model include the following two stages: the first stage focuses on assessing the reliability and validity of the measurement model, while the second pertains to evaluating the structural model. Findings The general understanding prevailing in practice and literature is that management sponsorship (MS) has a positive impact on the relationship between CF and TDC. It is also generally understood that MS has a positive impact on TL initiatives. However, the findings of this study contradict these assumptions. Specifically, the study indicates that MS has a negative moderating effect on CF and technology development capabilities, and has no impact on CF and TL relationships. Originality/value CF, TDC and MS, and their interplay and impact in enhancing firms’ TL position, have not been explored thus far in an integrated manner in the context of the automobile industry in developing countries. The research relating to CF, technology development capabilities, technology innovation capabilities, MS and TL reported in the literature has drawn inferences from case studies, anecdotal evidence and experiences of industry leaders, experts and consultants. This study attempts to fill the gaps mentioned above by presenting and testing a new moderated mediation model that shows the relationship between CF, TDC, MS and TL.

“…It is important for top management to have leadership qualities to motivate ,inspire subordinates, resolve conflicts between people and for power sharing at different levels in organization [19]. In innovation administration, top managers will be more successful with empowering leadership, middle managers will be more viable with directive or supportive authority and supervisors will be best, if they stay away from supportive leadership [20].…”
