Questions - please add comments

 * 1) Do you have examples of successful cooperation between universities or research institutions in developing and middle-income countries and global corporations?
 * 2) In the present global economic crisis, do you expect global companies to increase or decrease their R&D outreach?

 Industrial R&D systems are changing through expansion of cooperative R&D and outsourcing. In the 19 80s and 1990s most companies kept their core research and development in-house at centralized R&D divisions. In recent years more of this R&D has been contracted to global suppliers -- even for global companies with large R&D budgets. Some global companies have set goals for around half of the new product ideas to be generated from outside the company. R&D is frequently the biggest company expense which can be reduced and productivity increased through new business models.

This new global R&D innovation model provides opportunities for middle income countries to earn income and enhance their resources through cooperative and contract R&D.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"The Industrial Research Institute's (IRI) 2010 survey of member companies suggests that 2011 may see a dramatic turnaround in R&D investment. This year, 119 companies across a broad range of industries provided input to the survey; their responses indicate that R&D increases are expected across almost all industry sectors. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The primary focus of this investment is on new-business development projects. Aggressively pursuing innovation and balancing innovation in the overall R&D portfolio continue to be management challenges for the leaders who responded to the survey. They are also concerned about acquisition of, and access to, talent. However, they consistently cite alliance development as a strategy that they are pursuing to address these concerns."
