Technological orders’ change caused by the pandemics: Digitalization in the internationalization of technology transfer

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has become a catalyst for changing the technological order of human development and has accelerated the formation of new forms of organization and business. The change of technological orders causes uneven development of scientific and technological progress, as a result of which the existing technologies deepen, which become dominant and can be superimposed on the existing technological way of life. The purpose of the study is to substantiate changes in technology orders and to analyze the process of digitization as a new trend in the internationalization of technology transfer based on data on the dynamics of business meetings at brokerage events recorded in the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN). The use of EEN IT platform tools and general scientific methods such as analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, and historical analysis has confirmed the differences between the fifth and sixth technological orders and demonstrated the search for new ways of development for small businesses. The study formulated a general strategy for the digitization process and recommendations for the internationalization of technology transfer using Enterprise Europe Network tools in a pandemic, which include intensifying business activities using cyberspace, changing existing forms of organization, and innovation for small businesses. This strategy became the basis for the formation of a new methodological paradigm for managing the process of internationalization of technology transfer, taking into account the peculiarities of the domestic economy in a pandemic.

“…Do ponto de vista teórico o conceito de digitização foi explorado nesta pesquisa, assim como em Alekseieva et al, (2022), esse termo é designado para abranger a transformação de processos manuais em digitais e, nesta pesquisa, foi usado para analisar a troca dos processos manuais com uso de papel offset impresso pelos dados armazenados e compartilhados via Plataforma Institucional online da Universidade.…”

Holistic Approach to R&D Products’ Evaluation for Commercialization under Open Innovations

“…The importance and relevance of evaluating R&D products are demonstrated in the studies [5][6][7][8][9][10] where scientists propose a variety of decisions that focus on social, technological, environmental, marketing, financial, and other characteristics of innovative products that are being prepared for commercialization. Some scientists divide the innovation process into separate stages, which are economically evaluated, for example, at the stage of R&D and commercialization [11]; the others [12,13] evaluate R&D products based on their complexity.…”
