Abstract
Public interventions of government-owned research and development organisations present a number of challenges exacerbated by continuous changes of industries’ expectations in a turbulent economic climate. There is a need for overcoming the barriers of practicing collaborative projects in government-owned research and development organisations. Conducting a combined Delphi and Analytic Hierarchy Process approach in a case study reveals that the ‘commercial value’ orientation plan yields the highest impact score on innovation factors. Societal value, such as supporting collaborative projects, is ranked in the second place. This leads to a suggestion to increase the organisational responsibility in promoting public-private collaborative projects. Thus, the paper provides an illustrative generic model for deploying the combined Delphi and Analytic Hierarchy Process approach in other government-owned research and development organisations to further improve public interventions for sustainable innovation development.
