经济学毕业论文外文翻译---英国陶瓷产业的技术创新之路(编辑修改稿)内容摘要：

liability is of great importance. The majority of this innovation activity is concerned with making ceramic goods quicker, cheaper, more reliable and long lasting. Increased mechanisation is also being sought in the majority of the main manufacturers from tile, sanitaryware and tableware manufactures: The industrial potter39。 s ideal is a single machine into which are fed the powdered raw materials at one end and which turns out the fully finished pieces of ware, ready for despatch, at the other end. 3. The role of the research and technology organisation (RTO) RTOs and Research Associations are private sector panies that specialise in the provision of services to the plete spectrum of UK and international panies, generating and diffusing innovation across the technology spectrum. An RTO will usually represent an industry or technologytype and draw its member base from the panies it serves. Their unique position enables them to understand the mechanisms, requirements and needs of their particular industry or sector, which makes them the ideal broker in the provision of innovation for that sector. Their discourse with regulatory bodies, as well as the member base, also makes them ideally placed to understand technological and innovation drivers in their The RTO for the ceramics industry is CERAM Research. Established in 1948, it offers a wide range of services (for example, consultancy, testing and technical support) for all ceramic sectors。 which includes traditional ceramics and structural (bricks and roof tiles) and advanced ceramics. However, CERAM39。 s major strength in aiding and facilitating innovation amongst members of the industry, is its ability to facilitate funding and management of collaborative research, development and technology transfer projects. There is, however, evidence of attempts to improve this business awareness in the industry. The development of various industrial thinktanks and strategic direction groups, for 5 example, the Manufacturing Improvement Club , and the introduction of research projects, akin to this, have highlighted a certain willingness to further cognise innovation processes. In some organisations, more accepting and inquisitive business attitudes are also displayed by being enthusiastic about exploring other industries in grossly different sectors in order to apply manufacturing process technology, productive technologies and business perspectives. A recent, although slight, trend of employing managers and executives from other, more technologically advanced, industries underlines this.
