Hypothesis on systems of innovation for emerging markets from Denmark, Israel and New Zealand Filipinos, in general, are America-centered especially in learning about new things. In one sense, this is correct as America leads the world in many technologies. In another, it is not appropriate because there can be no bigger disparities than between America [...]

Close-to-market innovations work best for the Philippines Reading yesterday’s issue (January 19, 2010) of the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) of the United States of America affirms the correctness of my proposal for innovations in an emerging market like the Philippines to be in applications closer to the market than to science.

Let us stop flagellating ourselves with negative news From 2005, Goldman Sachs identified the Philippines as one of eleven countries “that could potentially have a BRIC-like impact in rivalling the G7.” More recently, in September 2009, the FTSE Global Equity Index Series classified the Philippines as one of seventeen secondary emerging countries with regards to [...]

Catching up and leapfrogging is hard; Improving winner industries in captured growth markets with enabler technologies easier Each country, because of its level of development, will have its own bounded innovation ecosystem that is intertwined with that of the rest of the world. The Philippines, as typical of emerging markets, does not lead in any [...]

With technical innovation, North Luzon has great potential Seeing the wind farm at Bangui, Ilocos Norte, I imagined twenty, one-legged Martian machines marching as in HG Wells “The War of the Worlds.” The wind turbines are benign, though, providing 33MW of power, a fourth of Ilocos Norte’s needs. Going around and talking to people, I [...]

Adapting Professor Bengt Ake Lundvall’s ideas for the Philippines Productivity is the true source of wealth for any nation, in the final analysis. And sustaining productivity requires for that nation to innovate continuously on its productivity base. Nations follow different strategies for innovation. The Philippines has survived through a strategy of trading services – by [...]

Systems thinking puts the world together Peter Senge, author of The Fifth Discipline, considers systems thinking, personal mastery, mental models, shared vision and dialogue as the “core learning capabilities of teams.” I first read The Fifth Discipline in the 1990s as a pioneering but, I thought, standalone work on the same stream as Just-in-Time (JIT) [...]

The World Economic Form (WEF) 2009 Global Competitiveness Report shows how badly the Philippines is performing absolutely and relative to its neighbors. The Philippines dropped 16 places to #87 out of 133 countries from #71 in 2008. I have always read the Report with reservations based on Paul Krugman’s comment that competitiveness does not apply [...]

Innovation pertains to new things by definition. As such, typical methods of research like statistical hypothesis testing using random samples, which data are available now and thus come from history, cannot be used without qualification. Kathleen Eisenhardt’s Building Theories from Case Study Research, 1989, Academy of Management Review, an inductive and iterative approach using cases [...]

Intensive learning facilitated the technological catching up process of the East Asian NIEs like South Korea and Taiwan in the 1980′s, said Professor Patarapong in his paper at ASIALICS 2009 (Posts 80, 81,82, 86 and 87). The subject fascinates. For me, the hunt goes on for innovation models to emulate so I can enrich the [...]

SALT or Sloping Agricultural Land Technology is an innovation in agro-forestry developed in the 70’s to help stop erosion and rejuvenate our deforested slopes. The benefits to the country of its successful diffusion in terms of agricultural productivity and alleviating climate change effects are monumental. STI learning on agro-forestry for erosion prevention is ready to [...]

The question, “If the financial returns are so good, why is everybody not doing it?” is a fair one to ask with black pepper as well as with coffee. BSFil Technologies has done the science and the practice (in a long-standing pilot farm) with black pepper (Piper Nigrum) on Gliricidia (madre de cacao or kakawate). [...]
