    Lessons from Ten Years of Nanotechnology Bibliometric Analysis
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016-09) Youtie, Jan ; Porter, Alan L. ; Shapira, Philip ; Newman, Nils
    This paper summarizes the 10-year experiences of the Program in Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy (STIP) at Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) in support of the Center for Nanotechnology in Society at Arizona State University (CNS-ASU) in understanding, characterizing, and conveying the development of nanotechnology research and application. This work was labeled “Research and Innovation Systems Assessment” or (RISA) by CNS-ASU. RISA concentrates on identifying and documenting quantifiable aspects of nanotechnology, including academic, commercial/industrial, and government nanoscience and nanotechnology (nanotechnologies) activity, research, and projects. RISA at CNS-ASU engaged in the first systematic attempt of its kind to define, characterize, and track a field of science and technology. A key element to RISA was the creation of a replicable approach to bibliometrically defining nanotechnology. Researchers in STIP, and beyond, could then query the resulting datasets to address topical areas ranging from basic country and regional concentrations of publications and patents, to findings about social science literature, environmental, health, and safety research and usage, to study corporate entry into nanotechnology, and to explore application areas as special interests arose. Key features of the success of the program include:  Having access to “large-scale” R&D abstract datasets  Analytical software  A portfolio that balances innovative long-term projects, such as webscraping to understand nanotechnology developments in small and medium-sized companies, with research characterizing the emergence of nanotechnology that more readily produces articles  Relationships with diverse networks of scholars and companies working in the nanotechnology science and social science domains  An influx of visiting researchers  A strong core of students with social science, as well as some programming background  A well-equipped facility and management by the principals through weekly problem-solving meetings, mini-deadlines, and the production journal articles rather than thick final reports.

    Innovation in Manufacturing: Needs, Practices, and Performance in Georgia 2016-2018
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016) Youtie, Jan ; Shapira, Philip ; Li, Yin
    2016 report of the Georgia Manufacturing Survey (GMS) - a statewide study conducted every 2-3 years by Georgia Tech's Enterprise Innovation Institute and the School of Public Policy to assess the business and technological conditions of Georgia’s manufacturers. The theme of GMS 2016 is smart manufacturing.

    Organizing a Multidisciplinary Workshop for Forecasting Innovation Pathways: the Case of Nano-Enabled Biosensors
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-09-17) Guo, Ying ; Huang, Lu ; Porter, Alan L. ; Robinson, Douglas K.R. ; Youtie, Jan ; Zhu, Donghua
    This paper reflects on attributes of a workshop on biosensor innovation pathways. Workshop visuals showing multiple interconnections resonated less with the scientist participants than those presenting more linear and business oriented information. Workshop discussions suggested two innovation pathways for biosensors, one involving passive use of nanomaterials in biorecognition and the other involving active use of nanomaterials in signal transduction.

    Perceptions and Actions: Examining the Relationship between Societal Perceptions and Citation Actions of Nanotechnology Scientists
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-09-16) Carley, Stephen ; Corley, Elizabeth A. ; Scheufele, Dietram ; Shapira, Philip ; Youtie, Jan
    This study links survey data on scientists societal perceptions of nanotechnology with publication data to understand the extent of association between societal perspectives held by nanoscientists and publication actions. We find that perceptions about moral limits mediate citation actions whereas attitudes toward government regulation have no significant effect.

    Traditional versus decentralized innovation strategies of multinational enterprises
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-01) Fernández-Ribas, Andrea ; Shapira, Philip ; Youtie, Jan
    In this paper we investigate innovation strategies of foreign multinational enterprises (MNEs) by distinguishing between traditional centralized and newer decentralized competence models. In centralized competence models, MNEs maintain core research and development (R&D) functions at home, and conduct design and market screening in host locations. In decentralized competence models, MNEs also undertake R&D in host country locations. We test empirically the interrelations and heterogeneities among these three types of host country affiliate innovation activities: design, market-screening, and R&D. Our results indicate that traditional and new roles of MNEs are complements, although the determinants of each strategy are somewhat different. The presence of local knowledge spillovers is positively associated with the probability that an affiliate does R&D, design, and market-screening activities. R&D activities are more likely to appear when an affiliate has more developed internal capabilities and has been operating for a longer time in the host country. Our findings provide some support for the predictions of decentralized competence models.
