their laboratory for them. Finally, the industry should provide sufficient fund for the researchers to finish the project.
3. Role of Research Institution
Nowadays, many researchers from research institutions conduct research based on their perspective; they are making research to provide new
technology for the industry. However, based on Rothwel 1994 their activities are similar with the first generation of innovation, called as technological push.
This approach makes the research result cannot be used directly in the industry because the result does not match with industrial needed.
Furthermore, the major task of a research institution, ideally, is providing suitable technology for a specific industry based on their expertise. When they
want to do that, they shall know the newest technology in their research area. Moreover, the research institution should also has good interaction with
industry, it will help them to know the real problem in the industry and finally they can conduct research based on the industrial problems.
In this collaboration strategy, research institution does not has direct interaction with market but they have direct connection with the industry. It
means, when the research institution wants to conduct research to develop innovation in palm oil industry, the research shall contact the industry first to
determine the research focus.
Furthermore, based on suggestion from Susetyo 2015 the research institution can help the industry to develop the palm oil downstream product by
providing a demonstration plant that has a suitable specification with their needs. For example a demonstration plant for producing Biodiesel from palm
oil.
Moreover, when the industry wants to improve their product quality or reduce their production cost, they can make a joint research with the research
institution. The research institution provides the demonstration plant, and the industry brings the raw material to be tested and funds for the researcher and
operators. With this strategy, the industry can reduce the cost of research; in other hand researcher from research institution can write paper based on the
research result.
