Waking the sleeping giants: commercializing state R&D in the United States and Russia

Article Abstract:

The experience of the US in the transfer of defense technology research from a state-run enterprise to a civilian and commercial enterprise can be applied to Russia. The latter's defense laboratories play a similar role to that of the US federal research system that was heavily regulated and where monopoly conditions existed. As in its US counterpart, the Russian defense research industry should resort to the establishment of spin-off firms and strengthen inter-corporate links so that the transfer process to the private sector will be facilitated.
