15、ce against all the success factors building upon initiatives that have gone before.</p><p>　　What is innovation?</p><p>　　1.1. Innovation in this Report is defined as the successful exploitation

16、 of new ideas. Ideas may be entirely new to the market or involve the application of existing ideas that are new to the innovating organization or often a combination of both. Innovation involves the creation of new desi

17、gns, concepts and ways of doing things, their commercial exploitation, and subsequent diffusion through the rest of the economy and society. It is this last–diffusion–phase from which the bulk of the economic</p>

19、ich if evaluated correctly, can improve the chances for future success. The risk of failure justifies the potentially high returns from successes, which provide the incentive to innovate in the first place. Successful in

24、ive and grow in the long term. But there are five reasons why innovation matters more for businesses and the people who work in them today.</p><p>　　Markets around the world are being liberalised. This bring

25、s opportunities from expanding trade. And firms can locate all or part of the production process or service wherever the economic advantage is greatest. But UK-based firms also face competition from firms in countries wi

26、th relatively low labour costs and where education and skills levels are high. For example, hourly labour costs in South Korea are just over half UK levels, but the proportion of graduates in the working age population i

27、s </p><p>　　Long-term reductions in the costs of transportation and communication have also opened up new markets and faster global communications mean that consumers learn about new fashions, ideas and prod

28、ucts faster than ever before. The cost of sea freight has fallen by two-thirds since 1920, air transport by five-sixths since 1930. Transatlantic telephone calls are now almost free on the Internet.</p><p>　

29、　Science and Technology are providing new opportunities for businesses to compete based on exploiting knowledge, skills and creativity to produce more valuable goods and services. Industries are being created, such as Bi

30、otechnology, and traditional ones are being transformed (e.g. growth of technical textiles). Because they rely on knowledge and skills, they provide areas where high wage, developed economies can maintain a competitive a

31、dvantage over low wage, unskilled ones.</p><p>　　Services, accounting for over 70% of the economy, are becoming more technology intensive. Technology is being used to improve business processes and customer

32、service in sectors such as retail, hotels and banking, and to develop new products combining creative strengths with the latest technology, such as computer games. Many high technology manufacturers now make more money f

33、rom services than they do from manufacturing.</p><p>　　Increasing environmental concerns are acting as a stimulus to innovation. Demand for environmental improvements– for example, reducing CO2 emissions and

34、 volumes of waste – may require changes in the economy and to the way we live. To deliver these changes the market has to generate innovative uses of technology, new ways of doing business and new consumer attitudes. <

35、;/p><p>　　1.4.The speed of changing technology and the extent to which new products and services can change market conditions mean that the challenge to innovate is urgent and continuous. UK-based businesses wi

36、ll find it increasingly difficult to compete on low costs alone in labour intensive industries exposed to international competition. The challenge for businesses is to compete on the basis of unique value.</p><

37、;p>　　1.5. The UK is not alone in facing this challenge. European leaders agreed at Lisbon in spring 2000 to make the EU “the most dynamic, knowledge-driven economy in the world by 2010”. Innovation is integral to achi

38、eving this vision. </p><p>　　How is the UK doing?</p><p>　　1.6.We have consulted a distinguished panel of leading academic experts in drawing up the analysis underpinning this Report. This analy

39、sis has been published separately. The main points concerning the UK’s innovation performance are set out below.</p><p>　　The latest international comparisons of data on business R&D show the UK well beh

40、ind the US and roughly equal to the EU average. However, it is encouraging that after a steady period of decline from 1.5% of GDP in 1981 to 1.16% in 1997, we have seen a move in the right direction, to 1.24% in 2002.<

41、;/p><p>　　Adjusting for size of economy, UK firms’ patenting activity at patent offices in Europe, Japan and the US lies well behind firms in Japan, Germany and the US and is just below the European average.<

42、;/p><p>　　Although systematic data is lacking, it appears that the UK lags behind the US and major Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) economies in the take- up of best practice improve

43、ments such as lean manufacturing.</p><p>　　Data from surveys, which rely on broader measures of innovation, paint a similar picture with UK performance weaker than its international peers.</p><p&g

44、t;　　1.7.The analysis suggests that UK business faces a challenge: how to raise its rate of innovation? </p><p>　　How did we try to explain the causes of UK performance?</p><p>　　1.8. Innovation

45、is a complex process so understanding why the UK has a relatively modest innovation performance is not straightforward. To help us do this we drew on an extensive review of the international innovation literature, aided

46、by a panel of experts. We also drew heavily on analysis by the AIM Management Research Forum and the OECD.</p><p>　　As a result we have identified seven critical success factors for innovation performance. T

47、hey help us to identify current strengths and weaknesses of the UK innovation system and to develop proposals to improve its performance.</p><p>　　Success factors for UK innovation performance</p><

48、;p>　　1.9.What follows is a highly abridged version of the supporting analysis, summarizing the UK’s performance against the seven factors: </p><p>　　Sources of new technological knowledge play an imp

49、ortant role in shaping innovation systems. Science-based technologies are increasing in importance. New products and services tend to embody a wider range of technologies, increasing the complexity faced by individual fi

50、rms. UK-based firms make extensive use of customers and suppliers as knowledge sources. The UK Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) base is highly productive and the UK has world-class design expertise. </p>

51、<p>　　The capacity to absorb and exploit knowledge defines a firm’s ability to turn knowledge into new products, processes or services. Fundamentally it is people who create knowledge, manage businesses and innovate

52、. Poor skills amongst managers and the workforce more generally have hindered performance. The culture within UK-owned firms appears to place less emphasis on creativity.</p><p>　　All investments in innovati

53、on need access to finance. Relatively lower levels of innovation spend are probably more due to a lack of incentives and capacity than a shortage of funds, although some financing gaps exist. </p><p>　　Compe

54、tition provides a stimulus to innovation and helps determine the intensity of competition and the ability of firms to spot opportunities and manage risks. </p><p>　　Customers and suppliers put pressure on fi

55、rms to deliver better quality goods and services and provide opportunities for innovation. Many UK-based firms compete in global markets and the UK is an attractive market for innovative firms from abroad. </p>&l

56、t;p>　　The regulatory environment affects the possibilities and incentive structures for innovation. OECD comparisons show the UK to be relatively lightly regulated, although there are continuing business concerns abou

57、t the impact of new regulations. </p><p>　　And networks and collaboration are important means of accessing knowledge. Businesses are increasingly looking outside their sectors for opportunities to collaborat

59、ltimately innovation depends on the knowledge, skills and creativity of those working in businesses. But Government has an important role in creating the right environment for innovation. Figure 1.4 sets out the main mec

60、hanisms and channels through which Government – at various levels – influences business innovation.</p><p>　　1.11.The Government has already laid the foundations of an innovation-driven economy in areas such

61、 as macro-economic policy, fiscal policy, competition policy, trade policy and education and skills.</p><p>　　1.12. Since 1997 we have produced three White Papers, “Our competitive future–Building a knowledg

62、e driven economy”(1998), “Excellence and Opportunity–a Science and Innovation Policy for the 21st Century” (2000) and “Opportunity for All in a World of Change–Enterprise, Skills and Innovation” (2001). In these we set i

63、n motion a series of micro-economic measures to stimulate innovation, such as increased investment in the science base, incentives to encourage research institutions and universities </p><p>　　1.13. Policies

64、 and programmers affecting innovation are determined at a variety of levels. In some cases, the role of the UK Government is to influence developments on a European or global scale. </p><p>　　Chapter 3 Tec

65、hnology innovation </p><p><b>　　Summary</b></p><p>　　Developed countries around the world have recognized that success in the future will come from businesses increasing the added v

66、alue from their products, processes and services. Government action to encourage businesses to develop and implement new products and services has become a high priority. Given this, the UK Government needs to harness it

67、s resources more effectively in promoting technological innovation. </p><p>　　The need to improve the take-up of new technologies</p><p>　　3.1.The end of the 20th century witnessed a wave of sci

68、entific discovery and technology innovation in a range of areas that have only just begun to change the way we work and interact with our physical, natural and social environments. For example, the developments of the In

69、ternet and mobile communications have transformed people’s access to information. </p><p>　　3.2.The pace of change is often quicker than anticipated and the impacts are fundamental. The growth of completely

70、new industries such as biotechnology, software and the digital content industry in the UK, as well as the decline of more traditional sectors, bear very real testimony to this. For example during the 10 year period 1992-

71、2002 the number of biotechnology businesses in the UK has increased from some 165 to 425, and turnover has increased by over six fold (from ￡0.5 billion to ￡3.2 bill</p><p>　　3.3.The UK has a strong indigeno

72、us knowledge source available to business through the Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) base and we do have a strong presence in some science-based technologies such as pharmaceuticals, telecommunications and aer

73、ospace. </p><p>　　Promoting knowledge transfer</p><p>　　3.4. The SET base makes a major contribution to knowledge transfer through the publication of research results and the supply of highl

74、y skilled people capable of transferring and adapting codified and tacit knowledge. However, there is an additional role that Government can play in providing the opportunities and incentives for translating quality UK s

75、cience into commercially successful applications.</p><p>　　3.5.To simplify arrangements for universities, Higher Education Institutions（HEIF） is to be consolidated into a permanent third stream of knowledge

76、transfer funding to universities, alongside that for teaching and research. More money will be put into the second round of HEIF. The aim is to simplify the funding landscape and ensure that HEIs in England have greater

77、discretion and the flexibility to develop their capacity in a way that best suits their needs and the needs of business.</p><p>　　In future, support for technological innovation will be available through fiv

78、e products：</p><p>　　Collaborative R&D support is available to meet some of the costs and risks associated with research and technology development, by facilitating collaboration between different busine

79、sses and between business and the SET base across the UK. </p><p>　　Knowledge Transfer Networks will encourage the diffusion of new and existing technology.</p><p>　　Grant for R&D from June

80、2003 this has been available for individuals and SMEs, and it enables them to meet some of the costs of investing in technology innovation.</p><p>　　Grant for Investigating an Innovative Idea – this is a pil

81、ot, offering help to SMEs in England to look objectively at their ideas for innovative products, services or processes and to draw up an action plan to take the idea forward. </p><p>　　Knowledge Transfer Pa

82、rtnerships provide direct support for knowledge transfer by enabling universities and others in the SET base across the UK to work with businesses using recently qualified people, like graduates, to undertake specific kn

83、owledge transfer projects in firms of all sizes.</p><p>　　Technology Intermediaries</p><p>　　To complement the above actions, we will work more closely with technology intermediaries, whose role

84、 in technology development and transfer has been undervalued in recent years in both policy development and implementation. Technology intermediaries also have an important role to play at regional level.</p><

85、p>　　The principal members of the technology intermediaries’ community are the Research and Technology Organizations. They are a private sector community of effective knowledge-transfer companies. Their objective is kn
