Master thesis "The role of communication in internationalization processes of RTOs (Research and Technology Organizations): A comparison study between Wageningen University and Research Center and Tecnalia
This document discusses challenges for innovation policy in Central and Eastern European countries. It begins by outlining some problems these countries face, including economic crises, slow progress toward an innovative economy, and low relevance of R&D programs to businesses. It then discusses how innovation policy should focus on funding with evaluation, creating an innovation-friendly environment, and supporting collaboration. The document outlines challenges for European innovation policy and how opening up innovation systems can help. It discusses demand-side innovation policies like public procurement, regulation, and standards as tools to spur innovation. Finally, it concludes that demand-side policies should complement supply-side measures to facilitate business R&D and innovation across borders.
The document provides an overview of social media use among associations based on an online survey of 123 association executives and focus groups with 10 communication directors. It finds that while most associations are active on social media, especially Twitter and Facebook, dedicated resources are limited, usually less than 10 hours per week. Associations primarily use social media for communication and information gathering. Measurement of impact is still developing, relying mainly on follower counts with few conducting in-depth analysis. Twitter is seen as having the greatest potential for positive influence while Facebook may pose more risks. The report concludes with recommendations for associations to develop effective social media strategies.

Connecting through Design: designer’s role bridging R&D and businessesMarco Ferruzca
This paper presents an exploratory study carried out in Catalonia from autumn 2007 until spring 2008, with the aim
of bringing the local design and research and innovation systems together. This research work has revealed that the
design sector can serve as a vehicle to transfer technology and knowledge produced by the research and innovation
system (R&D) to businesses. Designers who follow up activities in research centres, mainly developed at
universities or public technology centres, may be eventually interested in adding value to their proposals by taking
advantage of the scientific-technical knowledge produced in the R&D system. The field work in this research
consisted of organizing a set of focus-group sessions among designers and researchers who shared similar activity
sectors.
The document discusses capacity building activities in the MEDSPRING program.

communication is relevant. FACTOR IV: Communication in project building
8. The research
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
Main question: What is the role of the communication in the internationalization
processes of RTO?
•In which internationalization stage are now both centers?
1.Which are the main internationalization barriers and needs that these two
organizations find to start or improve an internationalization process?
2.Which are the main goals in terms of internationalization for the coming
years?
3.Which are the main challenges to approach the desired goals in the
coming years in terms of internationalization?
•Is communication a strategic element in the internationalization processes?
1.Is communication a strategic element of the organizations participating in
the internationalization processes?
2.How are the five communication elements identified before
(organizational culture; organizational structure; international cooperation;
reputation; knowledge management and transfer)taken into account in the
internationalization processes?

13. CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS
• Communication is an important issue for both centers, they mainly work in
“branding”, “reputation”, “media” and other strategic tasks, but also in
“brochure and publications”, “contact management” or “event organization”.
•Communication departments can be found in the whole structure of the
organization, but mainly differentiated in two levels: corporate (strategic)
and institute communication (assistance function).
•Gap between corporate-communication and institute-communication.
•“..let the outside world know what Wageningen is doing, that’s the main objective
to develop or that they meet our international portfolio: what are our strengths, our
competences… So, that´s one thing for the outside world. Another one, is let
people inside Wageningen know what we are doing internationally..(RW1:12-17)”
•“is important to have synchronicity between what people are working in the field
and what we are communicating” (RW1:86-88)
•New communication approaches should be needed to reach new targets.

16. Conclusions
According to the results, we can state that RTOs don’t follow
stage-based internationalization theories, using a broader
meaning of internationalization.
RTO´s are embedded in complex processes where alliances,
networks and reputation are important ingredients for
internationalization.
Different paths of internationalization. Tecnalia is closer to a “primary stage”
of internationalization and in the process of developing their possibilities inside
this stage, when Wageningen UR could be a bit further facing a “secondary” or
“mature” stage where it is important to look for new investors.
17. •New context trends and new business
reality needs from new communication
formulas adapted to the environment.
•Complex hierarchical structures leak
information, loosing opportunities.
•These organizations should evolve into
open culture organizations where
information flow and learning opportunities
are guaranteed.
•An inventory of internal knowledge and
experience should be done, to enhance
learning and cooperation.
18. •Detected communication levels are necessary in a proper combination, it is
clear that researchers demand more strategic communication to tackle new
challenges.
•Even internal communication tools are implemented , they should be revised
to check their usability and improve their use between employees.
•In the case of Wageningen UR an internal communication research should be
done to detect constrains and plan solutions and actions to develop a common
culture.
•Tecnalia, should focus on reinforcing the internationalization mindset.
19. Limitations & Recommnendations
Limitations of the research…
The overview of the study could be partial:
-Snowball sampling
-Complexity of the organizations and knowledge of the author
-Could be possible that selected group does not reflect the real overview
Recommendations for further research…
• Due to the limited number of participants of the study, research
on a bigger scale would be relevant in order to generalize these
results and findings. (EARTO, National policy makers, RTOs)
• More research on their internationalization processes could shed
light to the understanding of international research collaboration
processes, facilitating them and establishing better practices.
•Both institutions are immerse in changing processes, the research
should be repeated once both organizations start working as a
whole.
no literature referred to the role of communication in these organizations a new model has been developed taking into account five communication related factors affecting internationalization processes Here first the organization itself is going to be studied, to later on understand and guide its behavior in a global market context. It is assumed that both stages are related and affecting each other in the sense that a bad internal structure or organizational culture could develop miscommunication between parties in some international project implementation.
have been a significant part of regional development history and secondly, how RTOs are organized today in Basque innovation system Basque region is characterized by strong independent technology and innovation policies since beginning of 1980s as a result of Spanish political transition. The creation of RTOs was among the first actions that the Basque Government planned in order to react to the strong industrial crisis in early 1980s f the year 2001 the directors of three RTOs (Labein, Inasmet and Robotiker) announced a plan to establish a new organisation Tecnalia. The motivation to form a joint organization was partly due to similar areas of research and possible synergies and complementarities in those, but also to have a larger organization in order to better compete in European market.
