TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES AND
INNOVATIONS
TO ENHANCE PRODUCTIVITY
OF INDUSTRY
Role and Impact of Technology:
Increasing Globalization




Worldwide economic growth offers many new opportunities
for selling products and services in countries previously
inaccessible because of geography.
To compete effectively in foreign markets, local
manufacturing is important and will increase the potential
markets for local industry.
Technological innovation will provide many new market
opportunities.
Success in capturing new, emerging markets will depend on
the industry’s ability to compete in different environments.
Role and Impact of Technology:
Sustainability





It is technological development that meets the economic and
environmental needs of the present while enhancing the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs.
As world population increases, the industry can serve more customers
with higher quality, higher performing products and services, while
demonstrating responsible reponsible stewardship of our planet.
The nation should be properly positioned to bring into reality the
technology vision of an industry – one that protects environmental
quality, improves economic well-being, and promotes a higher quality of
life.
The industry now has the opportunity to accelerate its development of
advanced manufacturing technologies and innovations that use materials
and energy more efficiently.
Environmental technologies make sustainable development possible by
reducing risk, enhancing cost effectiveness, improving process efficiency,
and creating products and processes that are envoronmentally beneficial
or benign.
Role and Impact of Technology:
Financial Performance




The industry now has the opportunity to devise strategies to
achieve targeted short-term returns while at the same time
attracting the capital needed for investment in longer term
projects and facilities.
Strategically driven investment in R&D and new technologies
will continue to drive the industry toward unprecedented
levels of of productivity and return on capital.
R&D, new technologies and innovations are the greatest
drivers of productivity increases.
Investment in advanced manufacturing technologies, logistics
and management of the supply chain, information technology,
and new engineering technologies are vital for achieving the
country’s goal of leading the manufacturing sector in
profitability.
Role and Impact of Technology:
Customer Expectations





To meet expanding customer expectations, the industry needs
to apply innovative technology throughout all phases of R&D,
production and distribution.
Improvements in logistics and supply chain management will
enable manufacturers to deliver products to customers more
efficiently and at lower cost.
New operations and manufacturing technologies will ensure
highest product quality and more sophisticated information
systems will link companies to their customers.
New engineering technologies will provide products that add
value for customers and, in turn, for their customers.
Technological advances will reduce product development
response times and help industry meet customers’ rising
expectations.
Role and Impact of Technology:
Changing Work Force Requirements






Because of all the forces creating change in industry, particularly
having to do with the nature of the manufacturing process and
facilities, more highly skilled workers will be required for tomorrow’s
work force.
The influx of computers and automation will make plans easier to run
but will require a more technically advanced understanding of the
process.
The increasing complexity of technology and the rapid pace of
technological change places increasing demands on employees across
the work force, from the scientist at the laboratory bench to the
operator on the plant floor.
The hallmark of the future work force will be flexibility, not an
assault on jobs.
Continuing worker training will be an ongoing part of every
employee’s career.
This dynamic has implications for educational curricula and
programmes of the future.

THE TECHNOLOGY DIVIDE: OUTLOOK
A small number of industrialized countries provide
practically all the world’s technology innovation.
Some developing countries are able to adopt these
technologies in production and consumption.
The remaining part is technologically disconnected,
neither innovating nor adopting foreign technologies.
The New Global Setting
• Increased financial, trade, investment and technology flows
• Rapid and accelerating technological progress, including ICTs,
biotechnology, new materials, electronics, robotics
• New managerial and organizational systems
• New international rules and regulations: trade, quality,
environment, intellectual property rights
Barriers to Technology Transfer
Lack of access to information on new technologies and innovations.
Inadequate institutional infrastructure, management and marketing
human skills.
Organizational rigidities within the firms themselves.
Limited access to finances.
Regulatory constraints.
Inefficient R&D institutes and disconnection from needs of industry.
Inadequate human resources and mechanisms for their upgrading.
Lack of resources, knowledge and capabilities within policy
institutions.
Low efficacy of government support schemes.
UNIDO Response
Objective:
To assist the countries in strengthening their capabilities
in transfer, absorbing and mastering technology:
At policy level, technology foresight permits to define strategic
development directions, guide innovation policy and set up supporting
infrastructure.
At institutional level, strengthening National Innovation Systems,
technology and innovation centres, high-tech parks, etc. and networking
them with UNIDO International Technology Centres, bringing a culture of
innovation to business, strengthening R&D institutions to become
‘demand driven’ and respond effectively to industry needs.
At enterprise level, efforts are focused on building capacities in transfer
and commercialization of technology and sustainable mechanism to
manage technological change.
UNIDO Approach
Application of modern Information and Communications Technologies
(ICT) for improving access to international knowledge, education, training
and networking to meet the basic requirements for industrial capability
building.
Establishment of International Technology Centres as a unique tool to
promote international collaboration, diffuse technological knowledge and
innovations and expand UNIDO capacity in technology transfer.
Promotion of environmentally sound technology (EST) to reduce the
unfavourable environmental effects of industry.
Strong links to financial sources.
Integration of technology transfer process with other dimensions of the
business development, trade liberalization and protection of environment
to enhance the contribution to competitiveness and performance of a firm.
Assistance through the whole cycle of technology transfer.
