these organisations can stimulate innovation through innovative demand side measures, such as public procurement. An approach that has received much attention is the US SBIR programme and its successors in Europe and Asia.
Stimulation of demand is provided not only through public organisations. Demand from private organisations can also be stimulated through different governmental initiatives such as subsidies

ii) how to stimulate demand of innovation, especially using procurement as an vehicle for innovation support
Demand driven support measures to stimulate the use and demand for innovations. In many cases, measures driving the markets for innovation are, even more important for the growth of the economy than stimulation of the production of innovations.
How to stimulate demand of innovation Public organisations can play an important role as visionary risk-taking and demanding reference customers
and stimulate innovation through innovative demand side measures, such as public procurement. There are some general lessons learned from studying SBIR-like efforts in Europe, the USA and Asia.
in order to stimulate demand of innovation in public organisations, governments can require public agencies and organisations to identify potential innovation procurement opportunities and demands,
and allocate budgets for their procurement. Another approach is the US Challenge. gov, which stimulates public organisations to post their challenges on to a website that facilitates crowd sourcing of solutions.
To stimulate demand on innovation is broader than public procurement and can through different means also influence demand from private organisations,
e g. public agencies can facilitate innovation procurement in private organisations by e g. gathering buyer organisations to commit to buy certain offering
like the Swedish regulatory changes that allowed employers to provide their employees with cheap PCS which in turn drove demand of broadband and Internet services.

plus large numbers of items requiring inventory, continuously changing demand models, etc it is concluded easily that decision-making in a production context is basically a difficult problem of coping with large numbers and with diversity of factors external or internal to the organisation.
Demand for items can also occur in many ways. Items may be withdrawn from inventory by the thousand
while others expect immediate service on demand. Taking into account all the above considerations there is not a unified model for production strategy as there are many internal and external factors involved in a real production system and most of them uncontrollable.

where global buyers drive incremental innovation processes based on their deep knowledge of market demand. It was expected therefore that interactions with global buyers would lead to higher innovation levels.
This paper therefore poses that absorptive capacity demands more attention in both innovation policy and research.
In increasingly demand-driven markets, incremental innovations enable firms to enter market niches at relatively low cost.
Firms constantly acquaint themselves with the latest technologies and market demands in interaction with researchers, buyers, business associations, business development services, finance institutes, firms, friends and family.
