Overview

ASIALICS is a network among scholars, practitioners and policymakers who are interested in a learning, innovation and competence building system in Asia. It has a cooperative relationship with the Global Network for the Economics of Learning, Innovation, and Competence Building Systems (GLOBELICS). ASIALICS aims to explore and develop the concept of learning, innovation and competence building as an analytical framework. The objective of ASIALICS is to stimulate the establishment of knowledge based strategies for economic development in Asia. The idea is to bring together interesting issues about what is going on in Asian countries and companies and to share experiences regarding methodology, analytical results and policies. To achieve this idea, a group of Asian scholars with strong support from GLOBELICS held the first international conference on Asian innovation systems in Bangkok, Thailand in April 2004. Following the first conference, ASIALICS organized annual conferences in Jeju Island (Korea), Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur, Bangalore, Hong Kong, Taipei, Hanoi, and Manila.

Conference Objectives

Universities and public research institutes have been expected to play more important roles in the era of 'learning economy'. In Asia, several countries initiated policies to enhance the roles of universities and public research institutes in innovation systems, especially their interaction and contribution to industry and society. These policy initiatives include introduction of appropriate institutions, namely laws, regulations and norms that facilitate universities and public research institutes to easily and effectively engage with industry. Governments also provide incentives in terms of grants and public equity participation to encourage such collaborations. New organizations such as technology licensing offices (TLOs) and patent administration offices have been set up in many universities and public research institutes across Asia. Infrastructures such as science parks and incubators have flourished. Nonetheless, there are several issues regarding the roles of universities and public research institutes that need to be extensively examined by both academics and policy makers.

  • Did the introduction of new 'institutions' (like Asian versions of Bayh-Dole Act) effectively facilitate more and closer collaboration between university and industry.
  • Did intellectual property rights regime matter? How?
  • Did type of universities (e.g. comprehensive, S&T specialized, local), and size and capabilities of firms matter? Which modes of collaborations were suitable?
  • Which modes of collaboration (e.g. formal vs. informal) were more effective? Why?
  • Did government incentives really work? Why? Why not?
  • Why did some TLOs, science parks and incubators perform better than others?
  • What should be the effective roles of local and regional governments?
  • Were intermediary organizations needed? What should they do?
  • Were there significant differences between university-industry interactions and university-community interactions in terms of effective modes, incentives and institutions?

Conference Author Guidelines Download

Following guidelines are based on those of GLOBELICS.

Manuscript Submission and Format

Please use Times New Roman 12-point font, 1.5 lines spaced, 1-inch (2.5 cm) margin all around, and 8.27" x 11.69" (21cm x 29.7cm) (A4) page setting. Place page number in the bottom right corner.
Abstract: approximately 150 words, maximum 200;
Keywords: approximately 5-7 words or phrases.

Headings and Sections

Use only three levels of headings. Use bold-face for all three. Main headings (all capital letters, cantered) are first. Second-level headings (title-style letters; flush left) are next. Third-level headings (first letter of first word capitalized; indented; italicized; and run into paragraph) are next.
Don't skip steps: no second-level headings before you use a first-level heading, for instance. Use second- and third-level headings in sets of two or more. Examples:

RESEARCH METHODS [first level]

Research design [second level]

Variables [second level]
___Independent variable. [third level]
___Dependent variables. [third level]

References and Notes

Use the Harvard (name and date) short reference system for citations in the text with a detailed alphabetical list at the end of the paper. For example 'Hamel (2000) suggests ...' or 'Nonaka and Takeuchi (1995) found that ...' or 'A study of economic change (Nelson and Winter, 1982) has shown that ...'
Use Footnote, no endnote.
References should be made only to works that are published, accepted for publication (not merely 'submitted'), or available through libraries or institutions. Any other source should be qualified by a note regarding availability.
Full reference should include all authors' names and initials, date of publication, title of paper, title of publication (italics), volume and issue number (of a journal), publisher and form (books, conference proceedings), page numbers.

Tables and Figures

For each table or figure, centre "TABLE" or "FIGURE" with a number ("1", "2", etc.).Put the title centreed and boldface, but in upper- and lower-case letters. Please intersperse tables and figures in text.
All illustrations, whether diagrams or photographs, are referred to as Figures. They should be black and white, not colour, and numbered sequentially.

Abbreviations

Avoid using them for the names of concepts. Use ordinary words for variable names - not code names or other abbreviations. Use the same name for a variable throughout your text, tables, figures, and appendixes.
Names of organisations and research instruments may be abbreviated, but give the full name the first time you mention one of these. Names of software and some databases may be abbreviated.

Units of Measurement

Following The Globelics Conference, ASIALICS2013 adopts the Système International for units of measurement. Imperial units will be converted, except where conversion would affect the meaning of a statement, or imply a greater or lesser degree of accuracy.

Optional Leisure Tour

During the conference, the World Creations Inc. will open the desk for the arrangement of optional leisure tours. Please feel free to contact them.
