Judul: Bridging Research to Industry: The Technology Transfer from Communication Perspective (A Case Study at The Centre for Agrobased Industry)
Abstrak: In the 21st century, countries throughout the world face the need to change their focus on national strategic planning from a resource-based to a knowledgebased economy. Many countries increasingly use public research to generate economic benefit from the technological opportunity and use public research as their broad strategies in industrial development. Consequently, universities and public research institutions (PRIs) become key institutions in the process of economy “catch-up”. As public research conducted by PRIs and universities are increasingly needed, technology transfer and commercialization become critical areas that must be studied to help us understand how the process occurs. As one of the research institutions under the Ministry of Industry, the Centre for Agro-based Industry (CABI) is responsible to conduct research with a focus on the agro-based products. However, the research at CABI still have a relatively low application rate because most of the research were not commercially implemented in the industry. This research project aims to identify the role of communication in the technology transfer process that occurs in CABI and to suggest a way to maximize the number of CABI’s R&D application to the SMEs. The research uses a case study strategy, with an interpretive approach. Data collection method uses semi-structured interviews with respondents consist of CABI’s researchers and staff and SMEs. The data were analyzed by coding method. The result shows that there are ten communication channels used by CABI’s staff in technology transfer, namely: research collaboration; scientific publication; research dissemination; “client hunting” program; CABI’s events such as seminar and workshop; exhibition; free trial offer; leaflets or brochures; and Forum Group Discussion. It implies that the bureaucratic characteristic of CABI makes the organization not flexible in their internal communication and in their response to the market and it eventually effects the technology transfer process. The results also show that the interpersonal relationship between staffs in CABI seems to create a set of barriers in the technology transfer process. The research conclude that to deal with these problems, CABI must take different approach to make its mechanistic organization more organic and encourage daily internal interactions between staffs to increase their engagement toward their job and organization. Moreover, a set of intellectual property (IP) arrangement and incentives policy may avert the reluctance of the researcher in sharing his/her knowledge to other staffs. In term of communication channels. CABI must implement two phase of technology transfer process. The first step is to narrowing down the potential users and focus on one or two of them, and then CABI must maintain a good interactive process with the SMEs to make sure that their technology meets the need and capacity of the SMEs.

Judul: Strategi dan Kelayakan Pengembangan Lembaga Intermediasi untuk Meningkatkan Daya Saing Usaha Kecil dan Menengah di Indonesia (Studi Kasus Balai Inkubator Teknologi di Puspiptek Serpong), Strategy and Feasibility of Developing Intermediary Institutions to Enhance Competitiveness of Small and Medium Enterprises in Indonesia (Case Studies in Technology Incubator Center at Puspitek Serpong)
Abstrak: Looking at the rapid growth of the development of global business environment, so the establishment of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) which has highly competitiveness is necessary conducted. One of the several important factors that influence the building of the SMEs mentioned above is the ability of innovation and technological capabilities. It is known that SMEs in Indonesia have weakness in acquiring the latest technology. One of the reason why the SMEs do not have the updated technology, is because they do not have the access to the Research and Development (R&D) Institutions which create the updated and the appropriate technology. In this instance, the SMEs is solely as the users of technology. In this concept of innovation systems, it is attempted an institution which has its role and function, as an intermediate actor between the R & D institutions and the SMEs. This intermediary institution, it is called Lembaga Intermediasi (LI). Based on reports of many research articles, nowadays, most of LI has not yet been able to carry out its role and functions optimally. For this reason, this research is conducted to view the performance one of the LI. This research is a case study, and has chosen one LI on purpose, that is the Technology Incubator Center (BIT) at Puspitek Serpong. The purpose of this study are (1) to identify the characteristic and conditions of BIT, (2) to identify the factors that influence the successes of BIT as LI, (3) to formulate a strategy and feasibility of developing BIT. Matrix IFE, EFE,IE, SWOT and QSPM are used for processing and data analyses in this research. The results of this study are as follow: The characteristic of BIT is one of several unit departments under guidance of Agency for The Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT). BIT is led by a head of department, and its organization form is adopted single structure. Factors that influenced the successes of BIT performance are the number of human resources, fund availability and financial services, infrastructure, networking, appropriate services and serious/strong commitment for tutoring and helping tenants (SMEs). Based on analysis of functional feasibility, BIT has fulfill the requirement as a good organization, as an intermediary institution and as a business incubator. Based on the determination of QSPM matrix, there are three main strategies to be implemented to BIT are: (1) To increase the utilization and the use of existing human resources to enlarge the number and to enhance the competitiveness of assisted SMEs, (2) To maintain and to enhance the quality and the quantity of technology services for SMEs assisted, via utilization technology produced by R & D institutions, (3) To maintain and to enhance the quality and the quantity of market access services to acquire bigger share of market potential (domestic and international) for assisted SMEs's products.
