The Contribution of Science to Israeli Security
This survey was commission by President of the Technion, Professor Zehev Tadmor, as part of a series of surveys on the contributions of science to the State of Israel on its 50th anniversary. The project was initiated by the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities. Even before the establishment of the State of Israel the […]
The Contribution of Science to Civilian Industry in Israel
The Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities initiated a series of seminars on the contributions of science to the State of Israel on its 50th anniversary. In this framework Technion President Professor Zehev Tadmor commissioned this survey which is dedicated to the contributions of science to Industry, and which serves to complement a previous survey […]
INNOVATION: Technology Assessment, Forecasting, Strategy and Regional Policy
We construct new operational definitions of incremental innovation, standard innovation, and radical innovation, using our “technometric benchmarking” model. Based on this definition, optimal incremental innovation is formulated as a linear programming problem. The model is illustrated by an actual case: reconfiguration of a gamma camera. We show how our model can contribute to improved allocation […]
Technometric Benchmarking: Towards an Interactive Operational Model for Management of Technology and Innovation in Science-Based Startups, Selected Re
Overall objective of our project: “…to equip managers of technology in science-based companies [in Israel and in Germany] with tools that can help their firms become more innovative and competitive”. (from our Research Proposal). In this project, we are developing an integrated “toolkit” of quantitative benchmarking models, covering each aspect of the innovation process from […]
The Chemical Industry 2000 Potential for Future Growth
Chemical industry has been stagnating for many years. Long term trends are analyzed. There exists a potential for growth.We have identified market segments that are growing faster than other segments of the chemical industry. These were presented in 3 groups of potential areas for growth for the Israeli chemical industry:1) Families of intermediate: Synthesis gas […]
Measurement of performance parameters in the Israeli Industtry
Encouraging industrial investments is of special interest to Israel. For investments to be successful in the long run they require a sound return to the investors. In deciding on new investment the predicted economic return rate generated by the investment is often used as a measurement for its attractiveness. However there is a lack of […]

Technology innovation process: Does Israel have competitive advantage in kmowledge-based products?
Professor Daniel Weihs: This study — a technometric study of comparative advantage in selected high-technology industries in Israel – was funded by the German-Israel Foundation. Its director, Dr. Amnon Barak, will attend this symposium. This project is a good example of the kind of research that the GIF can and should support. It resulted in […]

A Technometric Analysis of Comparative Advantage in Selected High-Technology Industries in Israel, Final Report, Vol. I
Final Report of a research project: “Analyzing the Competitive Advantage of Israeli High-Tech Industries”. The research applied the Technometric Method developed at the Fraunhofer Institute in Karlsruhe, Germany, for comparing the technological level of industries among countries. The Research project undertaken at the Samuel Neaman Institute for Advanced Studies in Science and Technology at the […]
