Book Synopsis Public Procurement for Innovation by : Dolores Kuchina-Musina
Download or read book Public Procurement for Innovation written by Dolores Kuchina-Musina and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-16 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, nationally recognized public procurement experts Dolores Kuchina-Musina and Benjamin McMartin present a comprehensive analysis of the alternative contract vehicles used to promote innovation in the United States (US). Kuchina-Musina and McMartin begin by introducing the innovation policy environment in the US, addressing current trends in the workforce, decreased investment in research and development (R&D), and how technology is increasing at a rapid speed. They then go on to discuss key terms and subjects to show how public procurement and innovation policy are tied together. Diving deeper, Kuchina-Musina and McMartin examine the pathways the federal government uses such as the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) part 12 acquisition, a review of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, and non-FAR-based contract overview with a specific focus on Other Transaction Authorities (OTA). Using the new Department of Defense (DoD) prototype OTA that was enacted in November 2015, Kuchina-Musina and McMartin conclude by presenting a methodology for examining the effectiveness of OTs. Specifically, they show the way the government is evaluating the DoD statute and discussions on some of the additional guidance the DoD uses to implement this authority. Bringing academic literature on innovation policy and applying it to the practitioner environment, Public Procurement for Innovation provide its audience an understanding of models, methods, and techniques the US uses to promote the development of innovative technologies and products. Clearly written and impeccably researched, the book fills a huge void in the literature on public procurement.
Book Synopsis Innovative Government Contracting by : Jeanine Avant
Download or read book Innovative Government Contracting written by Jeanine Avant and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, the United States Federal Government has been conservative in its contracting practices. These practices are codified in law by the "Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR)". In some cases, past practices have not adequately met the need to better address value-to-cost, to shorten procurement times and to operate more adaptively in response to rapidly changing technology and social demands. Until recently, the US Government has continued the status quo (such as "firm fixed price") rather than to assume the risks associated with change. Innovative contracting techniques were developed more in foreign countries than in the United States. The last decade, however, has seen a turn about as the US Government has engaged more innovation in procurements. This report examines innovative contracting techniques utilized by both Federal and State activities: Construction and Services by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC); Construction by State Departments of Transportation (DOT's); and Space Systems Development by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Book Synopsis Public Contracting for Private Innovation by : Joshua R. Bruce
Download or read book Public Contracting for Private Innovation written by Joshua R. Bruce and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine how the U.S. Federal Government governs R&D contracts with private-sector firms. The government chooses between two contractual forms: grants and cooperative agreements. The latter provides the government substantially greater discretion over, and monitoring of, project progress. Using novel data on R&D contracts and on the geo-location and technical expertise of each government scientist over a 12-year period, we test implications from the organizational economics and contracting literatures. We find that cooperative agreements are more likely to be used for early-stage projects and those for which local government scientific personnel have relevant technical expertise; in turn, cooperative agreements yield greater innovative output as measured by patents, controlling for endogeneity of contract form. The results are consistent with multi-task agency and transaction-cost approaches that emphasize decision rights and monitoring.

Book Synopsis The Role of Public Agencies in Fostering New Technology and Innovation in Building by : National Research Council
Download or read book The Role of Public Agencies in Fostering New Technology and Innovation in Building written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores innovation in the U.S. construction-related industries (i.e., design services, construction, building materials and products manufacture, and facilities operation and maintenance) and recommends a strategy for fostering new technology. These industries account for about ten percent of the U.S. economy; federal agencies themselves spend some $15 billion annually on construction. A government strategy based on federal agencies that encourage applications of new technology for their own projects, activities to enhance the pursuit and effective transfer of new technology to the U.S. private sector, and increased support for targeted efforts to develop new technologies in specific areas will yield many benefits. These include better cost, quality, and performance in government facilities, generally improved quality of life, and enhanced U.S. industrial competitiveness in international markets.
Book Synopsis Innovating in a Secret World by : Tina P. Srivastava
Download or read book Innovating in a Secret World written by Tina P. Srivastava and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2019-07 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our national security increasingly depends on access to the most sophisticated and advanced technology. Yet the next time we set out to capture a terrorist leader, we may fail. Why? The answer lies in a conflict between two worlds. One is the dynamic, global, commercial world with its thriving innovations. The other is the world of national security, in which innovation is a matter of life or death. The conflict is about secrecy. Innovating in a Secret World is a detailed examination of the U.S. government and innovation landscapes and of the current trends in often secret national security-related research and development (R&D). Based on case studies, detailed research, and interviews with executives at Fortune 500s, startup entrepreneurs, and military directors and program managers, this accessible and timely book is a must-read. Tina P. Srivastava evaluates whether the strategy of technology innovation in the world of national security leaves certain innovations behind or unintentionally precludes certain classes of innovators from participating. She identifies the unintended consequences and emergent behaviors of this conflict. This examination unfolds in a complex, dynamic system that includes the legal framework in which technology innovation must exist. For more than a decade Srivastava has been on the front lines of cutting-edge technology innovation. She suggests focusing on an emerging class of R&D strategy called "open innovation"--a strategy that broadens participation in innovation beyond an individual organization or division traditionally assigned to perform R&D activities. Through compelling stories of commercial and early government applications, she shows how open technology innovation strategies can enable, accelerate, and enhance technology innovation. Successful incorporation of open innovation into the previously closed U.S. government R&D landscape can yield profound benefits to both national security and global leadership.
