Research paper thumbnail of Addressing societal challenges through the simultaneous generation of social and business values: A conceptual framework for science-based co-creation

Technovation, 2021

By contrasting with a broad literature using the term ‘co-creation’ to denote close working relationship between actors, the paper outlines a conceptual framework explaining how the diversity of agents involved, their motivations and goals, and incentive structures in which they operate impact on science-based co-creation. This multidimensional perspective is discussed with regard to the scope of innovation, reach and types of values that are generated, and the distinctive features to be considered when both social and business value are at the core of collaboration.

Policy implications to support science-based co-creation are discussed with regard to the rationale for public interventions and the critical dimensions of policy implementation and assessment. It highlights that policy design aiming at supporting societal challenges through co-creation should address mechanisms to integrate tangible and intangible inputs, define suitable operational models and enhance specific capabilities and practices.

Although demand is likely to remain high, the most accessible deposits have been depleted. Future capacity growth will be facilitated through further technological developments. Russia as a leading producer is paying great attention to strengthening its competitive edge in global markets. This paper reports on a large-scale technology foresight study of the Russian extractive sector (including oil and gas), which combined expert-based foresight activities with statistical analyses and text-mining techniques based on artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. The presented methodology helped to link the technologies to dominant discussions (e.g. climate change vs rural development) and to flag key trends. Furthermore, quantitative estimates can be identified quickly. The study’s methodology should function as an example for similar studies to support policy planning and investment decisions based on text-mining techniques.

This concept is a useful tool for the analysis of behavior of objects in both statics and dynamics. If the panel data describing the functioning of objects in time is available, we can analyze pattern changing behavior of the objects and identify either well adapted to the environment objects or objects with unusual and alarming behavior.In this paper we apply static and dynamic pattern analysis to the analysis of innovative development of the Russian regions in the long run and obtain a classification of regions by the similarity of the internal structure of these indicators and groups of regions carrying out similar strategies.

It emphasizes the Russian NIS structure and subsequent positioning of universities and the research institutions of the Academy of Sciences. The analysis makes it evident that the innovation activity of Russian universities is strongly challenged by various interdependent hampering factors. These factors arise directly from traditional barriers between science and education, which in turn relate to the imperfection of Russia's NIS originating from deep structural breaches far beyond S&T and education activities. National policies nowadays are aimed at increasing the innovation activity of universities, and the article concludes with an overview of the current debate on the most urgent issues.

Research paper thumbnail of The Decline of the Russian R&D Sector and the Prospects for its Revival

MOST: Economic Policy in Transitional Economies, 1997

By 1990 the USSR had over one million researchers, more than any other nation except the United States. The peaks of its achievements (especially in military aircraft, nuclear science and space research) contributed to the perception that the USSR was one of the two superpowers of R&D. Many observers considered that the R&D sector would be one of the most valuable assets bequeathed to the new Russia. Science and technology, freed of the rigidities of central planning, was held to provide the basis for high technology exports and economic growth. Like many of the rosy hopes for Central and Eastern Europe, the prediction was incorrect. The R&D sector went into a precipitous decline that continued to at least 1995. Neither the promised exports nor the economic growth materialized. This essay attempts an answer as to why Russian R&D failed to live up to its promise. We think an important factor is that the Soviet legacy included an institutional structure that was inefficient and ill-suited to a market economy. The first section describes the major features of the Soviet system and why it deserved the labels we have given it. The second section describes the crisis in the R&D sector during the initial years of the transition (1991-1994). The characteristics of the Soviet R&D sector continued into the transition years and added to the problems in the R&D sector. The Soviet R&D system was very large, centrally directed and government financed, all features ill-suited to a market economy. It is not surprising then that transition generated a crisis in the R&D sector. Still the policies of 1991 to 1994 appear to have made the transition even more painful. The final section examines the events of 1995 and 1996 to see whether the recent events provide a basis for a limited optimism that the R&D sector has begun to be transformed into one that is more efficient and more consistent with a market economy

Analysis of specifics of the S&T and innovation sector is provided from the viewpoint of its consistence with the requirements of the economy and society. Potential measures of its reforming are formulated, e.g. required institutional changes, reorganization of the public budget system, stimulation of technology commercialization and innovation activity.

Existing formal definitions highlight three fundamental characteristics of nanotechnology: "Firstly, ... the scale of measurement at which research and engineering moves into the nanotechnology domain… a threshold of 100 nanometres is mostoften suggested. Secondly, nanotechnology is the purposeful "control", "manipulation" or "handling" of matter at a very small scale. Third, ... development and engineering at the nanoscale should also enable "novel" or "new" industrial applications or "technological innovations" based on characteristics arising from size-dependent phenomena" (Le Strange, 2011). Along with ICT and biotechnology, nanotechnology gives a promise of an increasing contribution of S&T and innovation to economic growth due to both already available and emerging multi-purpose applications in industry and households.

ambitious projects that align with The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development. Over a six-year period to 2024, the government is investing
more than than US$ 1 trillion in science, the digital economy, ecology, health, education, housing and other areas.

Readiness for the Fourth Industrial Revolution is a cross-cutting priority of the 13 projects and the national strategy for artificial intelligence.

The government is espousing a goal-oriented management system to strengthen national competitiveness, independence and security. There are plans to develop world-class infrastructure in selected regions for ‘a new geography of science’.

One challenge will be to raise expenditure on research and education, especially since improving the quality of public universities is a priority.

Since 2015, solar, gas and wind consumption have progressed each year but the use of renewable energy is being hampered by the centralized management of the Russian energy sector, higher consumer prices for renewable energy and the rigours of the country’s cold climate.

Measuring this emigration and analysing the driving forces became the task of the day. Since organisation of data collection at border control posts required much funding and time, the available sources of information were simply adapted to new requirements. This resulted in an imperfect system of statistical observation of emigration from
Russia.

With respect to scientists and engineers, the problem was even greater. Neither national statistical authorities nor migration-related agencies were interested in describing this category of migrants. Specific efforts were therefore required from the Centre for Science Research and Statistics (CSRS) to provide a quantitative assessment of the scale of migrating scientists and engineers.

The chances of getting a permanent job, of getting a good position at a university or research center depend not only on one’s academic degree but also on individuals’ experience, competencies, and portfolio. Skills received during the period of study at the university or dissertation research can no longer be considered as sufficient for career. Lifelong learning is becoming the dominant model and should become an integral part of all career plans by means of constantly updating and developing the individuals’ “portfolio of competencies.” At the same time, successful companies should focus not on the staff but on the organizational stock skills, i.e., the aggregate “portfolio of competencies” of employees with different professions, which allows the company to formulate for specific tasks and projects different sets of competencies required in each specific case.

The chapter analyzes the most in-demand and dynamically changing sets of competencies in two high-tech areas – robotics and biotechnology.

Higher speed internet, lower unit prices and smart devices have favoured new and more data-intensive applications. Technology development enables radical changes in business models and creates a background for a new economic paradigm – the digital economy. Identification of key trends in and analysis of digital transformation processes requires reliable statistical data and indicators. Development of relevant international statistics plays a vital role here hence, via establishing and updating harmonised standards. The measurement concepts are to be based on statistical standards covering definitions, classifications, and data collection methodologies ensuring cross-country data comparability. It requires novel methodologies and data collection tools involving alternative data sources. The objective of this paper is to present a systemic overview of established methodological standards as well as new trends towards measuring the digital economy.

The relevance of the topic is explained by the fact that the existing mechanisms of statistical accounting for a number of reasons fail to measure technologies that are at an early stage of development and still do not have specific applications. This results in a reduced ability to manage technology progress. Analyzing the lessons learned from statistical work around ICT and biotechnology, the authors propose a "three-dimensional" approach to the classification of technologies that covers all stages of the R&D cycle — from an idea to market launch of an end-user product or service. The basic components in measuring this area are the scientific base or origin of a given technology, its applications and the socio-economic impact. The authors demonstrate the scope for using technology Foresight to orient statistical work, and suggest that a combination of improved statistical monitoring of ongoing developments, and Foresight analysis of anticipated technology and technology applications, represents a powerful approach to achieving early footholds by way of indicators of emerging technologies in concrete circumstances. The chapter outlines the main requirements for such an approach to be effectively implemented and its results utilized; it concludes with proposals for future methodological and conceptual development.

Drastic transformations of national R&D systems in this geographic area have been accompanied by inevitable losses, not just of their obsolete components, as widely described in the international literature. However, one can also observe structural shifts which reflect the evolution of national R&D systems from politically and institutionally predetermined complexes to economically justified organisms, but have been much less systematically analysed in terms of standard statistical definitions and indicators. With this in mind, the author has attempted to collect and analyse available data for eight major countries in the area, namely Bulgaria (BG), the Czech Republic (CZ), Hungary (HU), Poland (PO), Romania (RO), the Russian Federation (RU), Slovakia (SK), and Ukraine (UA). Efforts to revise national statistical systems according to the OECD Frascati standards have been initiated in all these countries since political and economic transformation started in the late 1980s-early 1990s. But the degree of success in standardising R&D statistics has varied from one country to another. Furthermore, in most cases revisions of statistical concepts and classifications were not accompanied by re-estimation of past data series. As a result, national data series continue to differ in terms of time series continuity, use of proper sectoral classifications, coverage of expenditures, and availability of specific breakdowns. So the author has had to recalculate the data series, to put them into a common framework of standardised OECD definitions and classifications.2 This permits analysis of R&D trends in the EITs in a comparative perspective, taking into account both their similar origin and current diversity.

The basic components in measuring this area are the scientific base or origin of a given technology, its applications and the socio-economic impact. The authors demonstrate the scope for using technology Foresight to orient statistical work, and suggest that a combination of improved statistical monitoring of ongoing developments, and Foresight analysis of anticipated technology and technology applications, represents a powerful approach to achieving early footholds by way of indicators of emerging technologies in concrete circumstances. The chapter outlines the main requirements for such an approach to be effectively implemented and its results utilized; it concludes with proposals for future methodological and conceptual development.

Innovation and Structural Change in Post-Socialist Countries: A Quantitative Approach, 1999

Contemporary R&D trends in the economies in transition (EIT) are determined by a complex of econo... more Contemporary R&D trends in the economies in transition (EIT) are determined by a complex of economic, social, institutional, and political factors that often pull in opposite directions. Drastic transformations of national R&D systems in this geographic area have been accompanied by inevitable losses, not just of their obsolete components, as widely described in the international literature. However, one can also observe structural shifts which reflect the evolution of national R&D systems from politically and institutionally predetermined complexes to economically justified organisms, but have been much less systematically analysed in terms of standard statistical definitions and indicators. With this in mind, the author has attempted to collect and analyse available data for eight major countries in the area, namely Bulgaria (BG), the Czech Republic (CZ), Hungary (HU), Poland (PO), Romania (RO), the Russian Federation (RU), Slovakia (SK), and Ukraine (UA). Efforts to revise national statistical systems according to the OECD Frascati standards have been initiated in all these countries since political and economic transformation started in the late 1980s-early 1990s. But the degree of success in standardising R&D statistics has varied from one country to another. Furthermore, in most cases revisions of statistical concepts and classifications were not accompanied by re-estimation of past data series. As a result, national data series continue to differ in terms of time series continuity, use of proper sectoral classifications, coverage of expenditures, and availability of specific breakdowns. So the author has had to recalculate the data series, to put them into a common framework of standardised OECD definitions and classifications.2 This permits analysis of R&D trends in the EITs in a comparative perspective, taking into account both their similar origin and current diversity.

But little is known about the actual implementation of the results of Foresight studies, even though these aim to improve innovation capacities and national innovation systems. The design and initiation phase of Foresight studies include the setting of objectives and the identification of themes for the exercise. These activities need to be aligned to the broader perspective and mission of the initiator – and, importantly, to the tendering procedure for launching Foresight activities. At national (and international) level it would be valuable to establish networks and a central database collecting the experiences of these studies, to make them accessible and useful for future Foresight studies. The main focus of such efforts should be on the procedural dimension – learning from the Foresight processes and their organization. Currently Foresight studies are mainly used for detecting future social challenges, potential technological developments, and associated gaps and requirements for immediate, mid-term and long-term measures. Foresight studies also have the potential, we argue, to be used for the assessment of potential policy measure impacts and the identification of the next generation of innovation policy related measures. This new application of Foresight approaches is likely to arise in the near future.

Творческое, научное и бизнес-сообщество — визитные карточки глобальных мегаполисов и самые сильные магниты для преуспевающих участников экономики знаний.

Какие города выбирают исследователи, главы корпораций и стартаперы, дизайнеры, архитекторы, художники и артисты?

У каких мегаполисов выше шансы успешно конкурировать за лучшие умы?

Чтобы ответить на эти вопросы, команда Российской кластерной обсерватории из Института статистических исследований и экономики знаний НИУ ВШЭ разработала Рейтинг инновационной привлекательности мировых городов (HSE Global Cities Innovation Index / HSE GCII).

HSE GCII выявляет движущие силы, которые привлекают в города участников экономики знаний, оценивает в комплексе факторы технологического развития, институциональной среды и креативных индустрий. Рейтинг охватывает 36 мировых центров, впервые рассчитан на уровне городов и содержит специально разработанную систему из 120 показателей. Исследование Высшей школы экономики не имеет аналогов по глубине и охвату.

Методология
Цель рейтинга — предложить верифицируемую сравнительную оценку ключевых факторов, которые способствуют привлечению в города участников экономики знаний.

В фокусе внимания находятся ведущие компании (мегакорпорации, прорывные стартапы, ведущие университеты) и личности (нобелевские лауреаты, высокоцитируемые ученые, популярные представители креативных индустрий). Именно они формируют лицо города и являются главными силами притяжения для других представителей своих отраслей.

В выборку исследования включены 36 наиболее привлекательных для инноваторов городов, которые лидируют по числу патентов и публикаций и занимают высокие позиции в международных рейтингах по релевантным тематикам. Города разные по численности населения – от агломераций до мегаполисов, 14 из них имеют столичный статус.

Решение. Проанализировав выборку из 36 глобальных центров на основе 120 показателей, описывающих уровень их технологического развития, креативных индустрий и инфраструктуры и институциональной среды, исследователи НИУ ВШЭ рассчитали интегральный индекс HSE GCII. Индикаторы также сгруппированы в 20 разделов, которые распределены по трем блокам — «Технологическое развитие», «Креативные индустрии» и «Городская среда». По каждому блоку рассчитан свой субиндекс.

В аналитическом докладе, представляющем полные результаты исследования, включены индивидуальные профили городов с информацией об их рейтинговых позициях по всем собранным показателям.

Совокупность исследовательских подходов рейтинга HSE Global Cities Innovation Index формирует новый взгляд на измерение инновационной привлекательности мировых городов.

Developed communities in creative industries, science, and business make up the brand of the city and work as strong magnets for creators of new technologies and knowledge.

What prompts researchers, heads of corporations, start-up founders, designers, architects, and artists to choose a particular city?

Which megacities have an edge in the competition for the best minds?

To answer these questions, a team of experts from the Russian Cluster Observatory of HSE Institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge has developed HSE Global Innovation Index (HSE GCII).

HSE GCII highlights the underlying forces which pull actors of knowledge economy into the cities and estimates a combined influence of technological development, urban environment, and creative industries. The index encompasses 36 global centers. For the first time ever, the ranking was calculated at the city level, following a unique system of 120 indicators. This study undertaken by the HSE University is unparalleled in terms of depth and coverage.

Methodology
The rationale behind creating the ranking is to offer a verifiable benchmarking solution for assessing the key factors of attracting talent into cities.

Our ranking is focused on leading companies (mega-corporations, breakthrough startups, leading universities) and outstanding individuals (Nobel Prize laureates, highly cited researchers, renowned representatives of creative industries). They are the face and gravitational force of the city, sending messages to all other members within and outside the community.

The sample of the study comprises 36 cities of various sizes, 14 of which are national capitals that innovators find particularly attractive. Each city is a frontrunner in patent and publication activities and scores high in relevant international rankings.

Solution. Our researchers examined 36 cities that stand at the forefront in terms of attracting innovative class and designed the Overall Global Cities Innovation Index (HSE GCII). The 120 indicators of the HSE GCII were grouped into three blocks, — namely Technological Development, Creative Industries, and Urban Environment, and 20 sections. In doing so, we were able to calculate the corresponding subindex scores and rank each city accordingly.

You may find individual city profiles in the analytical report with detailed results of the study and all of the cities’ ranks for every indicator.

An integrated HSE GCII methodology provides a new approach to measuring the innovative appeal of global cities.

Comparable to the rest of the world, the m-commerce sector has been developing rapidly in Russia, which provides opportunities for domestic and international enterprises. There are a number of favorable conditions, such as major advancements in the software and smart devices industries, availability of a skilled workforce with a good educational base, a technology-prone society, and increasing public and corporate investments, which reinforce the development of m-commerce. The present study aims to explore the future trends and developments in the m-commerce sector, by focusing on the Weak Signals of emerging future developments in society, technology, economy, environment and policy. Using a combination of quantitative and qualitative techniques, the study reviews the evolution of the m-commerce in the world and in Russia, and then presents a set of 10 Weak Signals, which were generated using technology mining, patent analysis, literature review, interviews and consultations through expert workshops. The paper discusses future opportunities and threats concerning m-commerce along with critical technologies for Russia for the full exploitation of the potentials in the sector.

It discusses the wide context of the task of identifying emerging technologies in a systemic and timely manner, including its place in the methodology of foresight and future-oriented technology analysis, its use in horizon scanning exercises, as well as its relation to the field of technology landscape mapping and tech mining. The concepts of technology, emerging technology, disruptive technology and other related terms are assessed from the semantic point of view. Existing approaches to technology identification and technology landscape mapping (in wide sense, including entity linking and ontology-building for the purposes of effective STI policy) are discussed, and shortcomings of currently available studies on emerging technologies in agriculture and food sector (A&F) are analyzed. The opportunities of the new big-data-augmented methodology are shown in comparison to existing results, both globally and in Russia. As one of the practical results of the study, the integrated ontology of currently emerging technologies in A&F sector is introduced. The directions and possible criteria of further enhancement and refinement of proposed methodology are contemplated, with special attention to use of bigger volumes of data, machine learning and ontology-mining / entity linking techniques for the maximum possible automation of the analytical work in the discussed field. The practical implication of the new approach in terms of its effectiveness and efficiency for evidence-based STI policy and corporate strategic planning are shortly summed up as well.

SSRN Economic Journal, 2020

For many years the transfer, exchange and collaboration of knowledge and technology between acade... more For many years the transfer, exchange and collaboration of knowledge and technology between academia and industry have been discussed as an important means of generating commercial value. The underlying rationale for such collaborations is that knowledge and technology from academia lead to firms’ competitive advantage. What has received less attention in the literature, so far, is a science-based collaborative approach for addressing societal challenges. In particular, we focus on collaborations among different actors - ranging from academics, businesses, policy makers, intermediaries and society - who devote shared resources, competences and capabilities in developing unique solutions to economic and societal challenges. The specific domain of a such process - that demands thinking beyond the knowledge transfer or creation expected to produce business value - is framed as “co-creation”. This paper outlines a conceptual framework by capturing the heterogeneity of science-based co-creation and its determinants. In the paper, the concept of co-creation is positioned in the various strands of innovation literature which refer to collaboration across different domains, highlighting the uniqueness of co-creation. We suggest focussing on a distinctive character of co-creation: the production of both business value and social values that emerges with different forms of innovation, reach and prominence. While business value has its own metric in a monetary scale, when society is considered, metrics should refer to the many different dimensions that have been impacted on, leading to many social values (in plural). The paper high-lights research gaps to further our knowledge on co-creation and suggests policy implications to support effective mutual interactions across science, technology and society.

Issues such as establishing a dialogue between the statistics service and users, integrating data from various sources, and intelligent data processing in the context of the digitalization of the economy are considered. New approaches and mechanisms should integrate and advance all of the previously achieved best results in methodology, observation areas, metrics, and other domains. Improvement areas include providing higher-quality information for policy shaping, businesses, individuals, and external partners. National statistics is expected to present an interconnected, objectively measurable model of socioeconomic processes and phenomena based on relevant theoretical concepts. In addition to using various sources of data, a necessary feature of the new system will be its reliance on a consistent conceptual framework and approaches to interpreting data, which will make it possible to integrate various data sources in the first place.

Users of intelligent statistics are becoming not only active participants in primary data collection, accumulation and application processes, but are turning into “smart” consumers who develop statistical thinking and are able to derive the greatest possible benefits from the use of statistical data. Such skills should become an inherent (and possibly mandatory) component of any.

International attempts to define the digital economy and research expenditures on it are considered. As part of the methodology’s development, key definitions were presented: digital economy, digital technologies, and digital economy costs. Based on international experience, as well as on the specifics of Russian statistics, a methodology of measurement for the expenditures on the digital economy was proposed. The structure of the obtained indicator is multidimensional, which makes it possible to evaluate both the indicator as a whole and its sections. The proposed methodology involved making modifications to existing questionnaires and the first estimates based on them were made in 2020. The results of the study made it possible to estimate the domestic expenditures on the development the digital economy in comparison with the set goals approved by the national program «Digital Economy of the Russian Federation». In addition, the multidimensionality of the indicator revealed those areas of the digital economy that represented the «growth points» of the digital economy as a whole.

The project is aimed at accumulating empirical knowledge about the nature and types of interaction between various actors of the national innovation system. In 2009-2010 the study was targeted at manufacturing and service sector companies while the 2010-2011 study targeted at R&D organisations. The specific objective for 2011 was studying various aspects of applied research organisations’ involvement in the innovation process (application of R&D results in the economy). The study yielded the following results: a concept for monitoring R&D organisations’ innovation activities was proposed, including operational definition of such activities; survey programme and tools to monitor Russian R&D organisations were developed, including advanced methodological and procedural approaches as well as practical experience; results of R&D organisations’ innovation activities survey were analysed and compared with available statistical data; the collected data also allows to identify and systematise various factors and conditions affecting innovation activities of these organisations; eventually areas for updating the survey’s concept and tools were identified.

economic recovery, it becomes vitally important to inject new impetus into the field of applied R&D. In the context of the continued weakness of Russian industry, the government must be prepared to play an active part here, building on Russia’s recognised strengths in terms of energy endowment, selected areas of high technology, and cheap, well-educated labour. The paper reviews the main sectors of Russian industry, noting a number of paradoxical tendencies. While the absolute level of R&D activity in the machine-building sector - the heart of the Russian Economy - has fallen sharply, the preponderance of the sector within Russian industry has actually increased, as R&D activity has collapsed in other sectors. Exactly the
same can be said of the defence industry within machine building. The most disturbing trend among the engineering industries is the virtual cessation of R&D activity in the machine-tool sector - which equips all the other sectors. Innovation in electronics has also collapsed. There are some positive signs, eg, the rise in the number of prototypes being produced by industrial R&D organisations, and the increase in the general weight of development work within R&D.
But the situation remains critical, and forceful policy action is of the utmost importance.
