dissemination of knowledge and realization of applications in the fields of competence.
2. Role of AICTT in comparison to other institutions
In times of crisis, a strategy capable of governing two variables, that are often antithetical and
competing each other, that is the duty to contain costs, especially those who were not primary, and
the need to excel among the competitors in their industry field, may be to share assets, facilities and
even human resources related to innovation. It’s necessary to move the assets related to the
competitiveness of business from key factors of innovation, which instead should be placed on a
shared basis, to different parameters related to the final stages of the value chain as well as to the
performance-management activities, such as communication, retention, promotion, quality of service,
etc..
The sharing of research laboratories, for example, especially in geographical areas on which
production chains insist or clusters of homogeneous firm can represent an opportunity, in a time in
which, unfortunately, corporate survival strategies prevail, to continue to pursue strategic competitive
advantages through an scale economy of costs related to activities, things and people with high
added value, difficult to bear by the individual.
In this context it should be necessary to assist another combination that can fully realize the scenario
in question. This condition is the need to have a so-called super technology partner, a research
institution, a university, to support and continuously feed this hub of innovation in clusters and chains
of slave business through iterative processes of technology transfer. This mechanism then triggers a
virtuous cycle, once fully operational, the opportunity to enhance the research, in turn, constitute the
technological offer of such a technology partner.
In figure 1 the role of AICTT in comparison to other institutions is described.
