The results of this study convey a number of important messages to the managers of the CSIST. First, the active reinforcements of benefits and strict management of IPs have to be promoted. In fact, there is a vital need for the improvement of socio-economic benefits through systematic integration and well marketed technology incentives. Second, the CSIST authorities must give a careful contemplation of organizational positioning and selection of DuTDPs. Such thoughtful positioning will amplify the niche strengths of the CSIST in specific categories. While the materials and chemical category is the core competency of the CSIST, the socio-economic deficiency of biotechnology and pharmaceutics category should receive an attentive consideration. Third, the current organizational transformation of the CSIST has to be supported and promoted in future. Granting the CSIST to be a non-departmental public body is a rare opportunity which could improve the efficiency of the CSIST in many aspects. This spotlights a brighter future for the CSIST if the authorities take full advantage in the way forward to improving the national economy and creating optimal welfare.
