Book Description
Using data in questionnaire responses from large research and development organizations, Niosi (administration, L'Universite de Quebec a Montreal) looks at the history and current status of Canadian research universities, government laboratories, and policies designed to nurture technical and organizational innovation in private firms, academia, and government agencies. He concludes that Canada has been quite successful in creating a national system of innovation and that the federal government, through its initiatives and techniques, has been the main factor in creating the system.

Advanced Introduction to National Innovation Systems
Author: Cristina Chaminade
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 178536202X
Category : Economic development
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Since its emergence in the 1980s the national innovation system (NIS) concept has become widely used by scholars and policymakers alike. In the course of its rapid diffusion it has provoked controversy on fundamental issues. Where did NIS emerge? What is the theoretical core of the concept? Is it actually a scientific concept or simply a buzz-word? How useful is it in terms of low income countries? How does the national innovation system relate to economic, social and environmental sustainable development? Is it meaningful to study national systems in a globalizing economy? What are the legitimate policy implications? This book provides an in depth analysis of all these questions as well as recommending future avenues of research.

Systems of Innovation
Author: Charles Edquist
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136600582
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 447
Book Description
The systems of innovation approach is considered by many to be a useful analytical approach for better understanding innovation processes as well as the production and distribution of knowledge in the economy. It is an appropriate framework for the empirical study of innovations in their contexts and is relevant for policy makers. This text is the result of the work within an international inter-disciplinary network or "working seminar" with the task of building a more solid and sophisticated conceptual and theoretical foundation for the continued study of innovations in a systemic context. The book has three parts. The first presents an overview and tries to work out some conceptual problems. In the second, the systems of innovation approach is related to innovation theory. Part three is devoted to increasing understanding of the functioning and dynamics of systems of innovation. There is also an introduction where the genesis and anatomy of different systems of innovation approaches are discussed and where the systems of innovation approach is characterized in nine dimensions.

National Innovation Systems
Author: Richard R. Nelson
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190281928
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 560
Book Description
The slowdown of growth in Western industrialized nations in the last twenty years, along with the rise of Japan as a major economic and technological power (and enhanced technical sophistication of Taiwan, Korea, and other NICs) has led to what the authors believe to be a "techno-nationalism." This combines a strong belief that technological capabilities of a nation;s firms are a key source of their competitive process, with a belief that these capabilities are in a sense national, and can be built by national action. This book is about these national systems of technical innovation. The heart of the work contains studies of seventeen countries--from large market-oriented industrialized ones to several smaller high income ones, including a number of newly industrialized states as well. Clearly written, this work highlights institutions and mechanisms which support technical innovation, showing similarities, differences, and their sources across nations, making this work accessible to students as well as the scholars of innovation.
