Development of a technology transfer and an intellectual property strategy for titanium machiningBeecroft, Bruce 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2015. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa holds the second largest share of the world’s titanium mineral deposits. However, there is no capacity for the development of titanium metal, mill products or components. It is at these stages of development that most of the value is added. For this reason, the Department of Science and Technology (DST) has been undertaking a research-led industrialisation initiative. The aim of this initiative is to establish a titanium industry strategy within South Africa. This research comes at a time when the demand for titanium, particularly from the commercial aerospace and biomedical sectors is growing rapidly.
A South African industrial strategy framework has been developed by the DST to deliver titanium related competencies across the entire titanium value chain. One of the key building blocks within the strategy framework is targeted at the machining of titanium metal. This is a core competence required for the manufacture of finished titanium products. This research is fully aligned with the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Strategy (AMTS) and its objective of improving industry competitiveness via the development of advanced manufacturing technologies, as well as to the objectives of the Titanium Centre of Competence (TiCoC), whose mission is to develop and commercialise the technology building blocks required for the establishment of a titanium industry in South Africa.
In order to implement the titanium industry strategy successfully in South Africa, all research being conducted in this field needs to be transferred to industry as well as protected. This is the focus of this thesis and is achieved through the development of technology transfer (TT) strategy as well as an intellectual property (IP) strategy for titanium machining. Without a TT strategy, the technological developments which are made might not be successfully implemented into industry as intended. An IP strategy is equally as important as, without one, entire research and development projects can be lost to those seeking to take advantage of incorrectly protected IP.
To develop the TT and IP strategies, substantial information on the basics of these fields was considered. Titanium machining relevant information, such as contract details, industrial partnerships as well as the level of development which the research had achieved upon starting this study was also considered. Together this information created a solid foundation for decision making with regards to how both IP and TT should be handled for the titanium machining research initiative. Each new technology developed, along with its respective IP needs to be considered individually, as the scenarios for both its protection and transfer into industry will be in some way unique. As such, the strategies developed within this report attempt to provide a general outline for the decision making process for any situation which might arise.
Ultimately both strategies are represented within this thesis. In order to take the research presented in this thesis further, the development of an IP portfolio is suggested allowing for decisions to be made with regards to technology specific IP outputs. For the technology transfer further implementation of tests for validation purposes at the industrial partners is recommended, in order to begin to develop an understanding of their environments and capabilities. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Suid-Afrika beskik oor die wereld se tweede grootste titaaan mineraalafsetting, maar daar is geen kapasiteit vir die ontwikkeling van titaan metaal, milj produkte of komponente nie. Dit is op hierdie stadium van ontwikkeling waar die meeste waarde toegevoeg word. Om hierdie rede is die Departement van Wetenskap en Tegnologie (DWT) besig met ‘n navorsingsgedrewe industrialisering inisiatief. Die doel van hierdie inisiatief is om 'n titaan bedryfstrategie in Suid-Afrika te vestig. Hierdie navorsing vind plaas op ‘n tydstip waar die vraag na titaan, veral vanuit die kommersiële ruimte- en biomediese sektore, vinnig groei.
'n Suid-Afrikaanse industriële strategie raamwerk is ontwikkel deur die DWT om titaan verwante vaardighede te lewer oor die hele titaan waardeketting. Een van die belangrikste boustene binne die strategiese raamwerk is gemik op die bewerking van titaan metaal. Dit is die kernbevoegdheid wat benodig word vir die vervaardiging van voltooide titaan produkte. Hierdie navorsing is ten volle belyn met die “Advanced Manufacturing Technology Strategy” (AMTS) en sy doelwit van verbetering van die bedryfsmededingendheid via die ontwikkeling van gevorderde vervaardigingstegnologie, asook die doelwitte van die “Titanium Centre of Comptetence” (TiCoC), wie se missie dit is om die tegnologiese boustene wat nodig is vir die vestiging van 'n titaan bedryf in Suid-Afrika te ontwikkel en te komersialiseer.
Ten einde die titaan bedryf strategie suksesvol in Suid-Afrika te implementeer, moet alle navorsing in hierdie veld beskerm word en daarna na die bedryf oorgeplaas word. Dit is dan die fokus van hierdie tesis, wat bereik word deur die ontwikkeling van ‘n IP strategie asook ‘n tegnologie oordragstrategie vir titaan masjinering. Sonder die nodige intellektuele eiendom (IP) beskermingstrategie, kan hele navorsing- en ontwikkeling projekte verloor word deur diegene wat voordeel wil trek uit IP wat nie korrek beskerm is nie. ‘n Tegnologie oordragstrategie is ewe belangrik aangesien, in die afwesigheid hiervan, die ontwikkelings wat gemaak word, dalk nie suksesvol geïmplementeer sal word in industrie soos bedoel nie.
Om die IP strategie te ontwikkel, is omvattende inligting oor die basiese beginsels van IP beskerming en bestuur oorweeg. Tersaaklike inligting oor titaan verwerking soos, kontrak besonderhede, industriele venootskappe asook die vlak van ontwikkeling wat die navorsing alreeds bereik het met die aanvang van hierdie studie, is in ag geneem. Saam het hierdie inligting ‘n stewige fondament geskep vir besluitneming ten opsigte van die toepassing en die hantering van beide IP asook die oordrag van tegnologie in die titaanverwerking navorsings inisiatief. Elke nuwe tegnologie wat ontwikkel word, tesame met die betrokke IP benodighede, moet individueel oorweeg word, aangesien die scenario vir beide die IP beskerming en oordrag van die tegnologie na industrie unieke aspekte sal hê. As sodanig poog die strategie wat ontwikkel is binne hierdie verslag, 'n algemene raamwerk te bied vir die besluitnemingsproses vir enige situasie wat mag ontstaan.
Beide strategieë is in hierdie tesis aangespreek. Die rigting vir toekomstige werk dui daarop dat ‘n IP portfolio saamgestel moet word wat voorsiening maak vir tegnologies-spesefieke besluite ten opsigte van IP uitsette. Ten opsigte van tegnologie oordrag, word verder aanbeveel dat toetse vir die validasie by venote in industrie ingestel word, ten einde begrip te ontwikkel vir hulle omgewings en vermoëns.

International technology transfer to accomplish process engineering designs for power plantsMoganelwa, Annikie 29 May 2014 (has links)
M.Ing. (Engineering Management) / Engineering design capabilities are highly specialised skills and are often begot through a number of years in a field of specialisation, the research’s aim is to establish how this engineering design capability can be brought into a an organisation through the International Technology Transfer (ITT) medium. In this paper a case study is presented whereby a South African State Owned Organisation (SOC) collaborated with an international company for the acquisition of a new technology, which in turn meant the acquisition of new know-how for the organisation. Despite the dynamics that inherently arise due to the Developed versus Developing Country dynamics it is imperative that the knowledge transfer (KT) initiatives are just as successful, however the difficulty is faced in actually measuring the effectiveness of the knowledge transfer processes. The local engineering industry is still growing and many more of these collaborations are still to be seen in the country, hence it makes it imperative from an engineering management perspective that the quality of the knowledge that can be salvaged from these collaborations is great value for money and is unquestionable. To not only prove the main drivers of the effectiveness of the transfer but to also highlight the areas for improvement a survey in the form of a questionnaire was issued out to the participants of the ITT within the local organisation. Based on literature on similar studies and from the survey results, it is clear that training and engineering human resource development in engineering designs of the technology being transferred is the most important method of ensuring maximum technology transfer. Moreover it was established from the survey results that most often than not this aspect of the transfer process, although ranked as important, is not structured strategically for the benefit of the transferee. Herein, a proposal is thus made as to the key interventions that may be adopted to close the gaps in the technological knowledge aspirations of the organisation.

Cultural drivers and barriers to the adoption of e-government in the Kingdom of Saudi ArabiaAlsowoyegh, Ghada Abdulaziz January 2012 (has links)
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is dedicated to implementing technology within the country and E-government is one of these technologies. However, although significant investment has been made, there has been little progress in this area. The purpose of this study is to identify the key cultural drivers and barriers that are influencing the progress of e-government, by understanding employees’ perceptions and acceptance of the phenomenon. The aim, therefore, is to identify the major cultural aspects that are currently influencing the adoption and implementation of e-government in the public sector in the KSA, as reflected in the behaviour and attitudes of government employees involved in the e-government service delivery. For the research design framework model I examined and analyzed earlier studies to provide an appropriate framework for e-government adoption in the public sector in the KSA. This framework could be valuable in guiding the policy makers and the government in recognizing the proper requirements on a cultural level for e-government adoption in the public sector. The proposed framework highlights and identifies some of the cultural aspects that could drive and hinder the process of adoption. Furthermore, the research method in this research adopts a qualitative approach by conducting three case studies in three public organizations in the KSA. In-depth interviews were conducted to gather primary data from thirty-two employees. The data collection took around three to four months to complete in the field. The research reveals that culture has a significant influence on employees when dealing with e-government implementation in the public sector. In addition, the research encountered several limitations in that I conducted, a female from Saudi Arabia living and working in a conservative Arab culture, who carried out in-depth interviews with male employees in three public sectors. This resulted in a number of exacting challenges which had to be faced. The value and originality of this research is illustrated in the method I chose to employ. Adopting a qualitative research methodology involved me in conducting in-depth interviews with employees. As a female Arab, it was inevitable that I would have to undergo a difficult and complex journey to gather the required data. The nature of the country’s conservative society played a role in this aspect. However, this is part of the culture and fabric of the country, and culture is the essence of this research. Hence, this research study offers an insight into the experiences I encountered in employing this qualitative research study.

Previous issue date: 2014 / Resumo: Neste trabalho desenvolveu-se uma metodologia de estímulo a transferência de tecnologia por meio da criação de spin offs acadêmicos que pode ser utilizado por diversas instituições de pesquisa dentro e fora do Brasil. Esta metodologia foi aplicada por três anos consecutivos na UNICAMP por meio de um programa de 4 meses de duração chamado de Desafio Unicamp de Inovação Tecnológica. Pelas três edições do programa passaram mais de 510 participantes, sendo um spin off acadêmico criado e dois em processo final de criação. A metodologia desenvolvida conta com várias etapas: capacitação empreendedora, escolha e análise de tecnologias depositadas pela instituição de pesquisa, desenvolvimento de modelos de negócios para as tecnologias protegidas escolhidas, teste e validação das hipóteses que suportam os modelos de negócios criados, elaboração de uma apresentação final, premiação dos melhores trabalhos e suporte pós-programa aos melhores projetos. Ao final das três edições conclui-se que a metodologia conseguiu estimular a avaliação de mais de 70 tecnologias da instituição de pesquisa mostrando diversos modelos de negócios pelo quais estas poderiam ser exploradas comercialmente. Porém, o estudo também mostrou que para aumentar o número de spin offs acadêmicos será necessário instituir uma política de apoio maior, estruturando principalmente fundos para financiamento dos testes de prova de conceito necessários para o desenvolvimento da empresa em seus estágios iniciais. Além disto, será necessário capacitar melhor os NITs (Núcleo de Inovação Tecnológica) das instituições de pesquisa para que estes possam fornecer apoio e consultoria aos empreendedores em gestão de projetos e aumento da rede de relacionamentos, pois estes foram os pontos que inviabilizaram a maioria das iniciativas empreendedoras iniciadas durante a aplicação da metodologia / Abstract: In this study, it was developed and implemented a method to encourage technology transfer through academic spin-offs that could be used by research institutions in Brazil and around the world. This method was applied for three consecutive years at UNICAMP through four months duration program called "Desafio Unicamp de Inovação Tecnológica". In these three editions, more than 510 participants were trained, one academic spin-off was created and other two are in the final process of creation. The developed method used in the program has multiple stages, as follow: entrepreneurial empowerment, analysis and choice of technologies, development of business models, testing and validation of hypotheses that support the business model created, preparing a pitch and an awarding ceremony. At the end of the three editions, it was concluded that the method could successfully stimulate the evaluation of more than 70 technologies through the creation of more than 150 business models. However, the study also indicated that if Brazil wants to increase the number of academic spin-offs it needs to create a policy to support the creation of funds for financing the proof of concept tests, so necessary for the development of an early stage technology company. Additionally, further personal development is needed in order to enable the research institutions¿ NIT personnel (Technology Innovation Nuclei) to support and advise entrepreneurs in project management and increase their business network. Errors in these supports and advices were shown to contribute in the failure of most entrepreneurial endeavors carried on this study / Doutorado / Materiais e Processos de Fabricação / Doutor em Engenharia Mecânica
