  1. Technology as a Package for Effective Technology Transfer Jayantha Ranatunga 19th August 2008 Negambo Sri Lanka NERDC South - South .09

  2. Presentation Summary • Key role of technology • Historical role of technology • How technology is created • How is it communicated • Readiness of technology • How to make it market ready .45

  3. Presentation Summary (Contd) • Transfer of explicit knowledge • Transfer of tacit knowledge • Recipient readiness to absorb • Enabling factors • Packaging of technology • Promoting technology packaging 1.26

  4. Technology • Factors of production • History of technology • Savages -fire, bow, pottery • Barbarians – Domesticated animals, agriculture • Civilized – alphabet, writing, printing 2.53

  5. Harnessing & Control of Energy • Muscle power • Animal power • Bio mass • Fossilized solar energy • Nuclear energy 3.55

  6. Energy Conversion Technology • Technical efficiency • Allocative efficiency • Right goods • Right people • Right price 4.35

  7. Creation of Technology • Innovations • Discoveries • Mimicking nature • Adoption from related fields 5.57

  8. Innovation • Accidental • Familiarity of similar technologies • Disciplined, systematic search • Scientific search • Grass root innovation 7.48

  9. Communication of the Idea • Research paper • Engineering drawing • Mathematical Model • Virtual model • Physical scale model 8.27

  10. Limitations of Early Models • GRI’s physical model • Non functional, not durable, high cost • Scientist’s lab process • Need to be scaled up • Batch operation • Process kinetics are not addressed • Not cost optimized • Not ready for commercialization 11.16

  11. Refinements Needed Before Commercialization ( Engineering Interventions) • Selection of materials of construction • Competitive cost of material • Durability • Strength needed for rugged use • Easy construction • Environment friendly disposal • Energy efficient • Low cost of operation • Pleasing to eye & feel 12.28

  12. Process engineering • Method of manufacture in considering scale • Example of a metallic object • Fabrication • Welding • Forging • Casting • Machining • Stamping • Hot rolling • Cold rolling 14.13

  13. Technology Readiness Levels • Basic principles observed & reported • Potential applications validated • Proof of concept demonstrated • Components of technology validated • Validated in field or simulated environment • System adequacy & reliability tested • Transfer of explicit & tacit knowledge • Improvement upon customer feed-back 16.01

  14. Levels of Technology R & D • Basic technology research • Research to evaluate feasibility • Technology development • Technology demonstration • System & subsystem readiness • System test, launch & operation Earth cement block 19.01

  15. Transfer Process • Technology readiness • Recipient readiness • Knowledge transfer • Explicit –manuals-teaching • Tacit-coaching • Demonstration of technology • Enabling factors 21.26

  16. Packaging • Readiness of technology package • National Innovation System 21.59
