- AGRICULTURAL Society (... 1712, Invention of
Steam Engine, Newcomen) Occupations (farming,
crafts) passed from father to son. - Speed of Change Low
- Required skills/competencies Simple
- INDUSTRIAL Society (1712 1948, invention of
transistor, Bell Labs) - Farming didnt disappear it mechanized.
Mechanization became the measure of
competitiveness in Ag. Working class new
vocations - Speed of Change Medium
- Required skills/competencies Mechanical
(robotic) - KNOWLEDGE Society (1948 ...)
- Industrialization continues, but is
knowledge-based. Routine tasks are left to
robots. Arena of competition New knowledge and
technology developed. - Speed of Change High Product life Short Life

6INFORMATION EXPLOSION Information doubles every
4 years
- Accelerated increase in knowledge shortens the
useful life of knowledge. Knowledge becomes
outdated at increasing rate. - Knowledge took 1,750 years to double for the
first time, counting from the start of the
Christian era. - It then doubled in volume every 150 years and
then every 50. - Every 4 years the amount of information in the
world doubles. - By 2020 knowledge will double every 73 days.
- We are only capable of giving attention to a
small fraction of it. - The primary language of the new information in
the world is English, which made English the
non-formal language of the world. Knowing the
World Language has now become part of being a
World citizen. - Source UNESCO Forum Occasional Paper Series

17ISLAMIC WORLD ON KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY
18VISION OF OIC
- The challenge facing the Islamic world is to
re-establish itself at the forefront in science,
technology and innovation (STI), and transition
to a knowledge economy. - In its Vision 1441H of 2003 Declaration On
Science and Technology for Economic Well-being of
the Ummah in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Organisation of Islamic Cooperation OIC
acknowledged that the Muslim world is facing a
knowledge gap because of its deficiency in
science, technology and innovation, and set as a
goal to achieve 14 of the worlds scientific
output and 1.4 of GDP spent on RD by 2020. - In its Ten Year Programme of Action of 2005 to
Meet the Challenges Facing the Muslim Ummah in
the 21st Century in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia - OIC pledged to make science and technology a high
priority and called upon member states to spend
1 of GDP on RD by 2015.
19The 57 State Islamic World (OIC) State of STI
- The Islamic world which is comprised of the 57
member states of the Organisation of Islamic
Cooperation (OIC) has a population of nearly 1.5
billion - about 21 of the world population of
7.2 billion. - Yet, it constitutes only
- 6.8 of the worlds total GDP (PPP),
- 2.4 of the worlds total RD expenditure,
- 10 of the worlds total researchers,
- 5.9 of global publications,
- 1.7 of global patents filed and 1.5 of patents
granted - all key indicators well below the world
average. - The OIC countries spend 0.5 of their GDP on RD
much less than the world average of 2.0. - The annual high-technology exports of the 57 OIC
countries total 75 billion, which is less than
the annual sales of Apple established in 1980s by
a college dropout.

24Apple Still Tops List of Most Innovative Companies
- Ross Rubin There are different kinds of
innovation. Apples innovation focuses on
bringing together different parts of an ecosystem
and tightly integrating them together with
meticulous attention to detail. - Samsung Incorporate the latest technologies into
its products. - Dell Focus on relatively unglamorous innovation
in process and manufacturing. - Google Innovation in prototypes and concepts.
- Charles Golvin A big distinction for Apple is
the breadth of areas in which it innovates
hardware, industrial design, software, usability,
retail. Apple has come under criticism for its
products being largely evolutionary, rather
than revolutionary.

- This innate ability can be activated and mined,
but it is not something that can be taught. - America is the greatest engine of innovation
that has ever existed, and it cant be duplicated
anytime soon, because it is a product of multiple
factors - - Extreme freedom of thought,
- - an emphasis on independent thinking,
- - a steady immigration of new minds,
- - a risk taking culture with no stigma attached
to trying and failing, - - a noncorrupt bureaucracy,
- - and financial markets and a venture capital
system that are unrivalled at taking new ideas
and turning them into global products. - - Thomas Friedman, NY Times, March 07, 2004.

32BRAINPOWER FIRST SILICON VALLEY
- Silicon Valley is just the ground of brain power
and creative thinking, not the source. - Silicon valley is merely the field where the
orchards of creativity that blossomed in the
garages of houses are planted. - Knowledge and skills now stand alone as only the
source of comparative advantage. Silicon Valley
and Route 128 are where they are, simply because
that is where the brain power is. - - Lester Thurow, MIT Economist
In the U.S. immigrants have founded 52 of
Silicon Valleys companies and created millions
of jobs. (Vivek Wadhwa, Washington Post, Oct. 4,
2011).
33FUNDING RD
34RD Funding for Knowledge Economy
- RD funding is of crucial importance to
facilitate innovation, but these funds should be
used intelligently to realize clearly set
objectives and specific outputs. - For example, Google has concentrated its funding
efforts to the development of driver-less cars. - The DOE is funding projects with specific goals
in the US, like artificial leaves for solar
energy, new generation of car batteries, and the
development of commercial electric vehicles like
Tesla. - The successful funding mechanisms of NSF, DOE,
NIH, and even GOOGLE should be studied carefully
together with TUBITAK of Turkey. - The Framework Programs like FP7 with a budget of
50 billion euros and EUREKA in Europe are good
examples for multinational collaborative
research. - There is innovation even in funding mechanisms,
and a good starting point is a careful study of
best international funding practices. - But successful innovation from conception to
market place requires the establishment of a
dynamic ecosystem among many intertwined
components from entrepreneurship to access to
venture capital in a climate conducive of
innovation.

- Preparation for Chinas national university
entrance exam continues to dominate the lives of
secondary students. - The epidemic obsession with testing severely
hampers student development as a whole person,
stunts their healthy growth, and limits
opportunities to cultivate social
responsibilities, creative spirit, and practical
abilities in students. - It also produces poorly socialized adolescents
who are ill-prepared to face the challenges of
the real world. - Chinas education system transforms children into
hardworking students with an impressive capacity
for processing factual information, like
computers or robots. - Give them a problem and they will find the
answer. However, they cant ask a good question.
- In 2013, the Ministry of Education launched a
campaign aimed at shifting the focus away from
standardized testing into hands-on learning. (New

52New Lighting Technology Low-cost and Efficient
Researchers at Wake Forest University have
developed a field-induced polymer
elecroluminescent (FIPEL) lighting technology
that silently gives off a soft, white glow, sans
the annoying hum and yellow tint of fluorescent
bulbs or the sharp, bluish hue of LED light
fixtures. The lighting uses layers of plastic
packed with nanomaterials that glow when an
electric current is introduced. Not only does it
quietly project soft, white light, it's also
shatterproof, low-temperature, and can be molded
into almost any shape.

54"Facebook Class" Helped Pioneer Lean Start-Up
Model.
- On the front page of its Sunday Business section,
the New York Times reported on the "Facebook
Class," a class of Stanford students in 2007 who
were asked to design and market a Facebook app. - Some of the projects were wildly successful and
"almost overnight, the Facebook Class fired up
the careers and fortunes of more than two dozen
students and teachers." - The class "also helped to pioneer a new model of
entrepreneurship that has upturned the tech
establishment the lean start-up." - Students learned, among other things, to keep
their ideas simple and expedient, while venture
capitalists began designing funds designed for
this low-cost approach. - Working in teams of three, the 75 students
created apps that collectively had 16 million
users in just 10 weeks. Many of those apps were
sort of silly Mr. De Lombaerts, for example,
allowed users to send hotness points to
Facebook friends. Yet during the term, the apps,
free for users, generated roughly 1 million in
advertising revenue.

59An example of social innovation Islamic Finance
- The rapidly expanding field of Islamic finance is
estimated to be worth at least 300 billion
annually. - From relatively modest beginnings, Islamic based
financial products are today being used to lease
aircraft, and pay for house-purchases. - Islamic finance is a genuine example of Islamic
innovation, and is a partnership between
theologians, international banks, and often
second-generation Muslims living in Western
countries who are capable of bridging tradition
and modernity. - How such financial innovation can support other
forms of science and technology-based innovation
can be explored. - For example, through creative models of financing
RD and early-stage companies for users,
generated roughly 1 million in advertising
revenue.
60COOPERATION in RD
61WHY TEAM-WORK?
- An Individual is weak a team is strong.
- Power and impact lies with a team of experts.
- Yesterdays problems were relatively simple, and
could be solved by individuals. - Todays problems are of interdisciplinary nature,
and requires scientists and engineers to work in
teams. - RD is expensive. It requires combining resources
to make RD affordable.
