This chapter attempts a characterization of the Arab countries' performance in innovation based on a set of indicators designed by international organizations and applied for ranking developed and developing countries across the world, namely the global innovation index (GII), technological readiness index (TRI), and the composite innovation index (CII).
In addition, to study the subsidiary's role in sourcing local technological knowledge, we construct indices of local technological strength of the state in which the subsidiary is located.
The results show that the climate difference changes the magnitude of the technological and the overall evaluation indexes but the final decision remain unchanged for all the climates.
In this way, three output-oriented knowledge triangle efficiency indices may be constructed for each DMU: high-technology export-oriented knowledge triangle efficiency index (EKTEI), scientific and technical publication-oriented knowledge triangle efficiency index (PKTEI) and non-technological innovation-oriented knowledge triangle efficiency index (NKTEI).
The number of patent applications (7) and the RTA-index (0.2) which measures technological specialization were both very low in the solar energy field during the period 2000 2007 [36].
Thus also for this index we can confirm that technological breakdowns in Virtual Reality worked well.
TiO2 was used in a wide range of technological applications due to its high refractive index, excellent transmittance, and photocatalytic property [ 10, 11].
