Technology Innovation Management:Topic Evolutions and Research Trends from 1968 to 2022

The technology innovation management(TIM)field attracts an increasing amount of attention.This paper takes a retrospective look at high-quality publication output in the TIM field over the 55 years from 1968 to 2022,revealing topics,their evolutions,and research trends.A total of 31,498 articles and proceeding papers published during this period are analyzed.The paper first extracts the fine-grained topic words using the tool ITGInsight.Then Linlog algorithm is used to cluster topics based on the cooccurrence of the topic words.Time is integrated within the topic cluster results so that topic evolutions and research trends are analyzed.The TIM field has four main topic clusters:technology research,product research,firm research,and future research.In every topic cluster,there are many fine-sorted macro-topics and micro-topics.There is an obvious increase in diversity in the topic clusters of technology research and firm research.Especially,the evolution of technology research has been closely connected with society.In contrast,product research has declined in its topic size.At the same time,future research maintains a certain stability of its scientific publications.The research predicts that all the four topics will retain their popularity,and play an important role in the TIM field.Among them,technology research will continue to expand and enrich the TIM field.The other three topics will deepen their research for a better development of the TIM field.The paper also proposes some advice for industry professionals,policymakers,and researchers.

State-of-the-Art Research on Technology Innovation Management in China

The two latest Five-Year Plans of China call for an increasing focus of the whole country on technology-based innovation. Moreover, China＇s ambition to become an innovation-oriented nation has attracted widespread international interest and academic studies in technology and innovation management. However by now, there is still not a rigorous amount of the research in this field as regards to China. This paper reports a comprehensive review of the research published between 2002 and 2011 in twelve top technology and innovation management international journals. Overall, a sample of 241 relevant articles in 780 issues is used as the basis for the study. The result is a map of the main research topics, their influence, and the availability of tested empirical data, which traces a state-of-the-art research on technology innovation management in China. Discussion on the map draws avenues for further research and insights for both researchers and policy makers on why, where and how to advance knowledge in the field, with a particular focus on implications for developing cooperation at the enterprise level.

The health care economic-industrial complex: Concepts and general characteristics

The strategic role of health care within the Brazilian development agenda has been increasingly recognized and institutionalized. Aside from its importance as a structural element of the Welfare State, health care plays a leading role in generating innovation. Despite this, the productive base of Brazil’s health care system is extremely fragile, jeopardizing both the universal provision of health care services and the country’s competitive insertion in the globalized environment. This suggests the need for a more systematic analysis of the complex relationships that exist between the technological and the social interests involved in the productive base of health care provision in Brazil. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to enhance our understanding of the productive base of health care, especially given its potential to contribute to a socially inclusive development model, which is the ultimate goal in Brazil.
