Drivers Of Innovation Without Formal R&D: Selected cases of Indonesian firms Erman Aminullah; Trina Fizzanty; Qinan Maulana B Soesanto
STI Policy and Management Journal Vol 3, No 2 (2018): STI Policy and Management
Publisher : Center for Science and Technology Development Studies, Indonesian Institute of Sciences

The objective of this study is to have deep understanding on why and how firms engaging in innovation without formal R&D. Three cases of firms in machinery and food processing sectors were studied. The cross cases analysis found that types and sources of innovation vary according to business areas, technology field, and technological capability level of each firms. Firms innovate without formal R&D through it’s particular ways, and it is driven by firm’s specific resources namely management vision and leadership, integrated business system, and entrepreneurship and networking. The conceptual contribution of this study is an enrichment to “learning by using” with a new variant the so called “mastering from using”. Nevertheless, innovation without formal R&D is deficient in absorptive capacity (AC), it implies that non-R&D and informal R&D firms should invest in R&D to develop AC and increase technology adoption. Goverment policy by using R&D financing support and tax incentives should be directed at the innovative low-tech (LT) as well as low and medium-tech (LMT) industries, which will have produced higher results through innovation with informal and/or non R&D actvities. Keywords: innovation drivers, innovation types, innovation sources, non-R&D, informal R&D

How Capital Goods Firms Upgrade Innovation Capacity : A Case Study Erman Aminullah; Dian Prihadyanti; Irene Muflikh Nadhiroh; Chichi Shintia Laksani

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 information 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 innovation capacity of industry.

Interactive learning for upgrading and growth: Case of Indonesian fishery firms Erman Aminullah; Trina Fizzanty; Karlina Sari; Rizka Rahmaida; Qinan Maulana Binu Susanto

This paper intends to reveal the interactive learning for upgrading and growth in Indonesian fishery firms. The main question is how learning and innovation have occurred in Indonesian fishery firms. The study was conducted in two categories of fishery firms: fish processing and aquaculture (shrimp). The interfirm interactions contain knowledge flows and feedback in local production network involving local suppliers and foreign buyers. The study found that the model of interactive learning for upgrading and growth work as a coupling of three loops: the upgrading capability, the growth formation, and limiting elements. The upgrading capability is subject to growth formation, which is determined by limiting elements. The limiting elements will control the quantity and quality of materials supply that affect inter-firm interaction. The model suggests that the dynamics of upgrading and growth through interactive leraning will continue in a stable manner by easing the constraints of limiting elements through: combating illegal fishing, encouraging interaction with universities, shifting to higher added value products, institutional support for global trading, preventing shrimp disease, providing infrastructure, business facilities, and regulation information. Key words: upgrading, growth, limiting elements, knowledge flows, production network, global market.

Technological Capability Upgrading and Entrepreneurship: Case Study of Selected Indonesian Fish Processing Companies Erman Aminullah; Trina Fizzanty; Galuh Syahbana Indraprahasta; Indri Juwita Asmara
STI Policy and Management Journal Vol 1, No 1 (2016): STI Policy and Management
Publisher : Center for Science and Technology Development Studies, Indonesian Institute of Sciences

This study analyzes the technological capability upgrading and entrepreneurship in the Indonesian fish processing industry. The analysis viewed from the Sectoral Innovation System (SIS) focuses on two aspects: the enabling factors for innovation, and the role of entrepreneur in technological capability upgrading. The study finds that Indonesian fish processing companies: (i) are less interactive with local universities or other STI (science, technology and innovation) centers, and innovation was mostly done through learning by DUI (doing, using and interacting); (ii) are characterized as low-tech industries with a high standard for food safety and product differentiation; (iii) apply adaptive innovation, modified from existing technology or knowledge, except for the leading companies who apply innovation for new products in the market; (iv) actors, technology, market trends, and networks are the main enabling factors for innovation; and (v) the role of entrepreneurs – especially in building entrepreneurial networks – were dominant in the leading companies. The entrepreneurial networks exist and work in global distribution chains that are widely adopted by companies to export their products through buyer–producer relationships. The pathways toward export markets are: global born directly, fastly learned global, and delay learned global companies. These categories have enriched the Mets category (2012). The policy implications of the findings for government should: (i) facilitate companies’ interaction with local universities or other STI centers; and (ii) encourage domestic companies to improve their competitiveness by shifting to higher added value products through various innovations and trading policy schemes.

E-Cigarette as Distruptive Innovation: Forecasting of conventional cigarette substitution in Indonesia Erman Aminullah
STI Policy and Management Journal Vol 4, No 2 (2019): STI Policy and Management
Publisher : Center for Science and Technology Development Studies, Indonesian Institute of Sciences

This paper intends to forecast conventional cigarette substitution by e-cigarette in the context of disruptive innovation. E-cigarette as disruptive innovation has been driven by technology innovation to create e-cigarette products for global market. The advancement of e-cigarette technology innovation would continue to create smart and less harmfull e-cigarette as alternative tobacco products in future.The results of forecasting show that the replacement of conventional cigarette would be in line with the increase of e-cigarette consumption. The future increase of e-cigarette consumption would be influenced by three factors: (i) technology advancement, (ii) excise tax incentives, (iii) and tobacco regulation. The diffusion of e-cigarette products in domestic market have raised the level of public acceptance, despite still reaped some rejections, especially from the health community in Indonesia. The scientific contribution of paper is a system dynamics model on conventional cigarette substitution by e-cigarette’s disruptive innovation. The model is systemic interaction among cigarette consumption, regulators, and public responses both health community and consumers of e-cigarette in Indonesia. Keywords: disruptive innovation, product substitution, electric-cigarette, system perspective, forecasting.
