Perspectives in Telecommunications Research - Overview
Challenges of university-industry cooperationThe framework of university-industry cooperation in terms of universities’ internal and external processesExamples: External factors: Otaniemi cluster Internal factors: Learning & product/service
development in teaching (S-72.3510 Product Development of Telecommunication Systems)
3
Challenges of University-industry Cooperation
Conventional academic research faces new challenges: Competition of research funding requires extensive
networking & state-of-the-art research groups – Now more and more in international level
Companies require university research to yield products and service faster than ever – no easy source of funding resources for basic research!
Companies need to know if research truly yields business cases – structure of value network must be investigated. Also, there are many technologies to realize the intended telecommunications services- best business case can also be a conventional design :(
It’s a small world-Thanks to Telecommunications!

The Framework of University-Industry Cooperation
Universities have a general (academic) focus research - knowledge generation teaching - knowledge distribution
Companies have a commercial, specific focus research - to make commercially successful products & services personnel education programs - to make personnel to track development in company’s area
Converting functions should be build to enable information to flow to commercially successful products & to satisfy both academia & companies

Converting functions – a field of contradictions!
Motto: Academic research can produce practical & applicable products and services - The main challenge is in communication between academia & industry!
Research project should be generated by using extensive networking with companies & other research groups/institutions
Especially, research management must understand also other things than their own key-field of expertise – multidisciplinary orientation required!
Research & teaching in universities must relate to State-of-the-art in science Understanding of companies’ practicalities in technology and
service development Building co-operative forums of interactions

Workshop Objectives
To get acquainted with real-life product development processes
Early-phase product development problems are not well defined – there is a problem framework that is a description of interconnected elements
Development teams strive to find applicable solutions; examine and validate the most promising solution(s) - in detail as possible
In workshop group formation objective is creativity boosting: groups should be multidisciplinary! Group participants need not to know each other beforehand
Note: Map risks relating to your solution and tell why you selected the particular solutions

Innovation in Week - Workshop Timetable
Monday: First focus on problem: understanding the problem framework - don't discuss about solutions
Tuesday: Continue innovating the problem - double teams
Afternoon: groups generate long list of solutions
Wednesday: Select the most import solutions to focus on and prepare for customer check points. Start preparing idea document & business case - Focus on gathering all together and presenting them in customer check points
Thursday: Evaluate solutions and prepare presentations
applicable solutions - check point conclusions
risks and how to get quality outputs - focus on development/production & target product/service
degree of innovations - market potential & long run business vision
Friday: Group presentations & discussions (industry & academy)
