“…Tal conjuntura se caracterizava pela ascensão do Japão como potência econômica e tecnológica, bem como pelo avanço das condições de países como Coreia do Sul e Taiwan, que até então não constituíam o cenário competitivo internacional (Fagerberg, Lundvall, & Srholec, 2008). Sob o contexto de discussões sobre a política industrial, especialmente dos países desenvolvidos, o conceito de SNI aparece como um novo marco conceitual durante a década de 1980 (Lee et al, 2021;Nelson & Rosenberg, 1993;Sharif, 2006).…”

“…A valorização da especificidade do caso aqui trazido é ampliada, mediante a sua inserção em contexto próprio de um país em desenvolvimento, onde a inovação é posicionada como uma estratégia ao processo de catch-up tecnológico (Lee et al, 2021). Neste sentido, a abordagem sistêmica, na situação dos países menos desenvolvidos, é apoiada em particularidades estruturais, uma vez que estes países sofrem consequências do baixo desenvolvimento tecnológico e objeções ao incentivo à inovação (Santos-Arteaga et al, 2017).…”

“…Conforme já abordado, o crescimento econômico sustentável está intimamente ligado à sinergia em um sistema nacional de inovação (Ye & Wang, 2019) logo, grande parte da literatura neste campo buscou capturar as várias dimensões dos SNIs e analisar a relação entre elas e o desenvolvimento socioeconômico a partir de diversos aspectos (Lee et al, 2021). No entanto, embora haja considerável trabalho acadêmico sobre as condições ambientais necessárias para apoiar os SNIs, as condições específicas que promovem a identificação de oportunidades de inovação no nível micro ainda não estão claras (Adegbile et al, 2021).…”

A presente pesquisa destaca o desenvolvimento de uma nova tecnologia como expressão de mudança de paradigma tecnológico estabelecido por uma spin-off acadêmica vinculada a uma universidade pública brasileira, de maneira a analisar a estrutura funcional do sistema nacional de inovação. O objetivo da investigação foi identificar componentes, interações e funções que configuraram a infraestrutura institucional que caracterizou as condições sob as quais a spin-off se desenvolveu, de forma a viabilizar o desenvolvimento da nova tecnologia. O estudo constituiu-se sob a abordagem qualitativa, operacionalizado através de entrevistas semiestruturadas, tratadas baseado em análise de conteúdo. Verificou-se a articulação de diferentes atores e competências para viabilizar o desenvolvimento e transferência tecnológica universitária para o mercado. Entre tais atores, identificou-se a articulação de cinco domínios principais: Universidade, Agências de fomento, Atores políticos, Facilitadores e Mercado. Sendo determinadas funções, as de Regulamentação, Suporte, Infraestrutura, Financiamento e Comercialização, manifestadas como chaves para a geração da inovação.

“…Initial approaches to NIS included business, science, education and several stakeholders as key players within rather a linear approach. As this conception became popular in policy-making agendas and more data were gathered, processed and investigated, the framework was moving to a more sophisticated view (Godin, 2007;Lundvall, 2007;Acs et al, 2017;Godin, 2017;Lee et al, 2021). Nowadays, several different approaches and conceptual frameworks of NIS can be distinguished, which are primarily aimed at getting a snapshot of the current status of key players at national and regional levels (Lo et al, 2013;Leydesdorff & Porto-Gomez, 2019), searching for a new type of players, such as venture funds, start-ups, or industrial associations (Datta et al, 2019), delving deep into the process of knowledge creation and dispatch, including the conception of the so-called triple and quadruple helix (Etzkowitz & Leydesdorff, 2000;Carayannis & Campbell, 2009;Leydesdorff, 2012;Carayannis et al, 2018;Maruccia et al, 2020).…”

The paper aims to develop and apply a methodological approach that could help to reveal incentives and future strategies of key National Innovation System (NIS) players considering the influence of global social, economic, scientific, technological and ecological trends. To fulfil this aim, a blended foresight methodology was applied, grounded on the platform of economic and classic foresight theory and considering four possible directions for using foresight methods: investigating and building a common vision; supporting evidence-based decisions; promoting communication and participation; inducing transformation and integration into the decision-making process. The main results and findings of the research include a list of 19 global trends, defined from literature analysis and the author’s expert knowledge, a short description of their influence on key NIS players, including society, business, infrastructure and institutions, science, education and government; and mapping more than 35 different foresight methods that could be used for revealing incentives and future strategies of key NIS players. The article’s theoretical contribution to economic theory consists of several parts. First, a NIS conception is examined through the prism of global trends and a dynamic aspect, whereas it is mostly investigated from statistical and static perspectives. Second, applying foresight as an instrument for researching NIS as a system is a developing academic area with some theoretical gaps, considered in this article by designing a conceptional research framework. Third, blending different foresight methods is always a craft, and the approach applied in this article contributes to it. Finally, the article presents several important trends which will appear in NIS and its key players’ transformation in the nearest 5–10 years. From practical implications, this article could be useful for proactive policymakers in the field of science, technology and innovation policy at national and regional levels for designing and providing measures for supporting innovation systems effectively. Foresight practitioners and experts are offered useful, practical ideas of different foresight methods and their possible combinations for everyday activities.

“…Lee [18] investigated the major characteristics of the catch-up stage by comparing the NIS of South Korea and Taiwan with those of other developing and developed countries, verifying the link between the NIS and economic growth in terms of per capita income growth. In country-level empirical studies, Chapter 3 of Lee [18] and Lee et al [20] demonstrate a significant correlation existing between having more patent applications in fields related to short cycle time of technologies (CTT) and a higher per capita income growth rate in East Asia. This pattern of unbalanced NIS and growth mechanism is in sharp contrast with a more balanced NIS and growth mechanism, which prevails in high-income countries with economic growth showing a positive correlation with a specialization in technologies with long CTT.…”

This paper addresses the issue of catching and convergence at the level of firms, and investigates whether Korean firms tend to converge toward mature firms represented by the US firms in terms of their behavior and performance as well as firm-level innovations systems. It conducts regression analyses of several behavior and performance variables, using the data of the Korean and US firms during the 1990s, the 2000s, and 2010s. It finds some evidence of convergence, such that Korean firms become more profitability- rather than growth-oriented, borrowing and investing less, and thus being less indebted. However, they have not changed much in terms of their behavior toward firm values and dividend tendencies. Further analyses, using the patent-derived, innovation system variables, also confirm some aspects of convergence, compared with the early results, for which self-citations become significant and positive for firm values; furthermore, the variable of cycle time of technology is no longer significant for profitability, which is consistent with the results from the US firms. Meanwhile, changes in corporate governance associated with the rise of foreign shareholder are also shown to have resulted in higher profitability but insignificant change in firm values. An emerging conclusion is an ongoing but partially completed process of convergence.
