This paper is an exploratory study on renewable energy implementation in the rural areas of Indonesia. The study aim was to investigate the factors contributing to the sustainability of renewable energy projects in the rural areas. It mostly uses a qualitative approach. Primary data was mainly obtained from in-depth interviews conducted in site areas with the project owners, project managers, a key person in each local government, industry representatives, and the local community, including local leaders and users of renewable energy. Secondary data in the form of various official project reports was also used. The results indicated that the success of energy project implementation lay not only in good technology performance and long-term maintenance, but was also highly dependent on six key factors, namely: (1) project planning and development; (2) community participation; (3) active communication and beneficiaries; (4) availability of maintenance program, workshop and technician; (5) project management and institutionalization; (6) local government support and networks. The findings from this study provide useful insights to all stakeholders involved in the implementation of renewable energy technology for the rural areas in Indonesia.

The objective of the study is to reveal factors that are internal and external to firms that affect the use of network relations for innovation, with a focus on mapping the policy role in innovation networks. The study was undertaken through case analysis in four different firms. The study found that the number of actors in network relations affects upgrading of value of a good or service. The upgrading is activated by learning events, which are related to organizational changes, namely, refocusing on the core business, restructuring the internal organization, undertaking management change, and applying responsive management practices. The specific policy role in stimulating the network effect for innovation are: (i) government facilities for the ease of doing business by continuing to reduce bureaucratic processes to regulate standard requirements, (ii) strengthening government agencies–industry relations by establishing promotion of representatives of Indonesian food products overseas, (iii) government brokerage and matching services for global trading by arranging trade fairs, business seminars, or supporting modern information technologies, and (iv) government relaxation on import restriction to maintain a stable supply of raw materials for food processing. The substantive contribution of this scientific study is the provision of the concept of policy role in innovation networks viewed from the sectoral system of innovation. Keywords: innovation network, policy role, organizational change, upgrading, sectoral system of innovation

Public Research Centers (PRCs) in Indonesia are mostly operated by government funding. However, their role in supporting innovation and economic performance of MSMEs (micro, small and medium enterprises) is still very small. The objective of this research is to determine what are the success factors in managing R&D projects at a PRC in Indonesia, particularly in providing solving problems of MSMEs. Two case studies of R&D Projects from a PRC ‘X’ were selected, namely: organic fertilizer project and appropriate technology project. Both projects are quite different in terms of the research process. By using qualitative method, all R&D process elements were investigated. Results of the study shows that in general both case studies have indicated success factors that make R&D project success and effectively manage and grouped them into three common categories, namely project management process; project resources; and project environments. The two case studies show that each project have different success factors and the lessons learned of these projects can be very useful to improve R&D project activities at PRCs.Keywords : R&D Project, Public Research Center, Success Factors, R&D Management

Public funded research and development (R&D) institutes need to play a more active role in maximizing the utilization of their innovation/research results. One of the benefits of R&D innovation result is in the form of economic, social, environmental and cultural benefits for the improvement of human quality of life. Drawing from evidence of the case studies of R&D projects at Public Research Institute ‘A’ in Indonesia, we examined the technology transfer mechanisms into practical applications of the community. The mixed-method with good blend of qualitative and quantitative analysis is used in the case study. The case study demonstrates that there are five types of mechanisms for the technology transfer in this institution namely: direct transfer, through cooperation and interaction with multi stakeholders, patent and licensing, document transfer, and dissemination activities. The success of technology transfer to community were demonstrated by the increased ability of SMEs and farmers to replicate the technologies, increased their production, enlarge their market as well as increased new knowledge, skills, productivity, fertility of their rice fields, and decreased the use of chemical fertilizers by 40% and increased their household’s income by average about 30%.Keywords: technology transfer, public research institutes, communities, innovation

The paper is based on research identifying lessons and approaches in making energy policy and scrutinizes whether empirical evidence–based energy policy exists in Indonesia. Empirical evidence–based energy policy has the potential to reduce poverty as well as have a greater impact on the economic performance of individuals, communities and the government. In this study, we used document analysis and key informant interviews to explore empirical evidence input in energy policy-making. The results of the analysis revealed the following three points. First, there are a range of limitations in the process of energy policy-making as well as in getting an evidence inputs from concerned institutions such as universities, R&D institutions, and industries. Second, the process in making energy policy went through several stages and was not always in sequences, starting from problem identification, needs identification, advocacy, information gathering, policy drafting, and approval obtainment from the institutions concerned. Third, the most influential factor in the formulation of this energy policy is the factor of power and authority instead of knowledge and evidence. The limitations have demonstrated insufficient evidence in the policy-making. Finally, the paper suggests that a working group for data and information gathering should be created.
