Abstract

Objective of the research is to reveal how networks upgrade innovation capacity and to derive policy suggestions necessary for enhancing capa-bilities for process improvements and innovations, including interactions between users and producers in capital goods industry. The case study results showed that: i) the main driver of technological learning in the capital goods companies is the vision of top management; ii) product innovation as the improvement of existing product can be the results of informal learning without doing formal R&D activity; iii) the limited co-operative arrangements among producer, supplier and consultant are sufficient for stimulating lower level of innovations, which is new to the firma innovations - rather than new to the market; and iv) the pro-ducers-users interaction in the forms of exchange in goods and infor-mation as well as cooperation will contribute to stimulate innovation in companies. Knowledge sharing through innovation network has a central role in upgrading innovation capacity. It implies that the necessary poli-cies to intensify the wiring innovation network in capital goods industry are: i) the establishment of bridging institution or network broker for training, facilitating and mobilizing of network formation; ii) government financial assistance for hiring external experts/consultant to upgrade the innovation capacity of industry; iii) incentives (i.e.financial compensa-tion, recognition and career advancement) for university and research institute professors working to upgrade the innovation capacity of indus-try; and iv) government consultancy services and/or subsidized consul-tancy services from universities/research institutions to upgrade innova-tion capacity of industry.

Abstract

This article discusses industrial development on EV di Indonesia, viewed from Sectoral system of innovation (SSI) perspective. The objective of this study is to map challenges in connecting the elements of SSI for developing EV industry. The method of study is a desk research, where the information input relies on secondary sources, consisting of statistical data, official documents and scientific references. This study found eight challenges to develop EV industry. The institutional challenges include: i. fiscal programs are still less effective to promote industrial  collaboration on EV innovation with universities and R&D institutions; ii. Local content target is still difficult to fulfill; iii.  unreadiness of local industry to be involved in the EV supply chain; and iv. Slow consumer response towards EV program incentives. On the knowledge and technology challenges are: i) the quality and standards of EVs from domestic R&D are still inadequate for commercial scale; and ii.  potential investors have not shown adequate interest  in local EV development. The demand challenges are: i. the plan to make Indonesia as EV hub in ASEAN region is far from reality due to lack of investors; and ii. the lack of ECS accessibility is a barrier to the domestic EV market. Keywords: electric vehicle, sectoral system of innovation, institutions, knowledge and technology, demand

Abstract

The research examined technological learning in the developing high-tech industry within the state-owned strategic companies under supervision of the Agency for the Management of Strategic Industries (BPIS). The research has been conducted to date on high-tech development using a technological learning approach as one method of developing the nation's S&T (Science and Technology).  This work was completed through desk research using available archives on documented reports for ten strategic industries. The research results confirmed the story of Indonesian innovation policy emphasis on technology-based industrial transformation was a real, staged process with clear concepts and objectives at strategic companies. Short-term innovation traps should be avoided for not repeating innovation discontinuity, which has become the primary concern of short-sight’s actors in technology politics. The key to successful technological learning are: i. continuous without stopping, the innovation continuity should be undertaken by confronting the crisis situation has become a requirement for innovative industrialists engaged in innovative economic activities, and; ii. companies could take alternative paths in continuous technological learning to climb the technological ladder by continuously engaging in R&D and engineering capability upgrading in the global competition sphere, because a company cannot survive without building a strong foundation of technological capabilities.Keywords: high-tech development, economic crisis, technological learning, innovation discontinuity, R&D governance.
