The present volume is an outcome of NISTADS-FICCI joint workshop on issues related to Industry- Research and Development (R&D) interactions. The workshop has provided a platform of interaction between researchers in Science and Technology studies and representatives of industries. Discussions revealed that Industry-R&D interaction is actually a means to strengthen technological capabilities of a developing country. This volume, therefore, has been re-christened to highlight the technological capability aspect of developing economies. The volume addresses the issues related to: " technology transfer " human resource development, " role of technology policies, " institutionalization of industry R&D interactions, etc. Contributions on experiences of South Korea and Latin American countries have been added to enrich the volume. The role of international development agencies in technological capability building adds the global dimension to the issues studied. The book would be of immense interest to the scholars of policy research, R&D organizations and industries of developing countries. The policy makers and planning bodies would find the experiences and analyses useful for decision making.

Abstract: China is increasing its outlay on research and development and seeking to build an innovation system that will deliver quick results not just in absorbing technology but also in pushing the technological envelope. China's spending on R & D rose from 1.1 percent of GDP in 2000 to 1.3 percent of GDP in 2005. On a purchasing power parity basis, China's research outlay was among the world's highest, far greater than that of Brazil, India, or Mexico. Chinese firms are active in the fields of biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, alternative energy sources, and nanotechnology. This surge in spending has been parallel by a sharp increase in patent applications in China, with the bulk of the patents registered in the areas of electronics, information technology, and telecoms. However, of the almost 50,000 patents granted in China, nearly two-thirds were to nonresidents. This paper considers two questions that are especially important for China. First, how might China go about accelerating technology development? Second, what measures could most cost-effectively deliver the desired outcomes? It concludes that although the level of financing for R & D is certainly important, technological advance is closely keyed to absorptive capacity which is a function of the volume and quality of talent and the depth as well as the heterogeneity of research experience. It is also a function of how companies maximize the commercial benefits of research and development, and the coordination of research with production and marketing.
