Book excerpt: "In this paper, the authors examine the links between human resource management, including learning and development practices, and building innovation capacity. The survey component of the research found only limited evidence for the links between human resource management and innovation capacity, although some management practices such as the bundling of high performance work practices were found to have some association with innovation capacity. Subsequent case studies found a lack of understanding by large enterprises of the role of human resource management in fostering innovation capacity. This was seen to have implications for the tertiary education system in stimulating demand for innovation courses." - NCVER website.

Download or read book Latecomer Development written by Banji Oyelaran-Oyeyinka and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-16 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most important issue for development centres on the debate about the centrality of knowledge, technology and innovation to the process of economic development. While this much is broadly agreed, what is at issue is the precise mechanics of overcoming economic development challenges in different contexts. At the heart of it all is about how economies at different levels deploy the unending streams of information and knowledge to developmental ends. In time, the notion of income convergence between the poorer South and the wealthy North has proved a mirage, while a new economic divide has in fact occurred within the South itself, and as well, between regions and within regions. The debate relating to latecomers is thus framed in discussions about regions and countries that arrive late to mastering industrialization in achieving economic prosperity through the use of knowledge. In other words, a new divide has emerged among the latecomers themselves, and with it, greater conceptual complexity in the ways of our understanding of the divergent ways of economic development. We have thus separated "fast followers" and new "late comers". This book enters this debate acutely aware of the complexity of this process. The authors argue that economic development is largely driven by innovation, concentrating on the dynamics of process, product and organizational changes and how they are embedded within specific and varied contextual institutions.
Book Synopsis Innovation, Human Capital and Economic Growth: International Evidence by : Moḥ. Rabiula Isalāma

This book was released on 2010 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis empirically examines the roles of innovation and human capital inimproving economic growth for a large number of developed and developing countries. Itcontains three essays. The first essay investigates the effects of R&D intensity andtechnology transfer on total factor productivity growth. It also examines whetherproductivity growth depends on human capital and its interaction with distance to thetechnological frontier. Using several indicators of innovative activity and product variety,the results suggest that R&D intensity has a significant direct and positive effect onproductivity growth only in high income OECD countries, whereas the same effect forR&D-based absorptive capacity is only found in developing countries. Moreover, humancapital-based absorptive capacity is found to be weakly significant in developing countries.Autonomous technology transfer is found to have a significant effect in stimulatingproductivity growth in both groups of countries.The second essay studies whether the contribution of human capital to productivitygrowth depends on its composition and proximity to the technology frontier. Usingdifferent levels of human capital data from several sources, the results indicate that thegrowth-enhancing effects of skilled human capital increase with proximity to thetechnology frontier only in high and medium income countries. Unskilled human capitalcontributes more to growth in low income countries, as they move closer to the technologyfrontier. Female workers with secondary education generate more productivity growth thanmale workers in low income countries, whereas male workers with tertiary educationcontribute more to productivity growth than female workers in high and medium incomecountries. Mature workers with tertiary education are more growth-enhancing for high andmedium income countries, whereas younger workers with secondary education are moregrowth improving for low income countries.The third and final essay examines the joint effects of both the quantity and qualityof human capital in improving productivity growth. Using different measures of humancapital quantity and quality, the results suggest that the growth effects of educationalattainment can be significantly enhanced when the quality of schooling is improved. Themagnitude of the joint effect of quantity and quality is found to be dominated bysmall class size and the performance in cognitive skills tests in science and mathematics.The contribution of the quality-adjusted human capital is found to be stronger indeveloping countries. Human capital is growth enhancing, but to gain a deeper insight oneneeds to examine its composition and distinguish between quality and quantity.
Book Synopsis Innovation, Human Capital and Trade Competitiveness by : Marzenna Anna Weresa
Download or read book Innovation, Human Capital and Trade Competitiveness written by Marzenna Anna Weresa and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-18 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work focuses on researching and establishing the importance of human capital and innovation as determinants of competitive advantages in international trade—in the context of rapidly evolving technological advancement, globalization, and economic integration. The processes that accompany the shift from industrial economics to a knowledge-based economy are currently the object of interest of both scientists, politicians, investors and entrepreneurs. In many countries, the traditional sources of socioeconomic development, such as low labor costs, availability of inexpensive raw materials, and favorable geographic location are waning. These economies are searching for new sources of competitive advantage that will allow for maintaining growth, among other things by boosting participation in international trade. The book explores non-traditional drivers of competitiveness in both theory and practice. First, chapters 1 through 4 present theoretical and methodological aspects of the relationships among international trade, human capital and innovation. Here the authors address the controversy associated with the concept of competitiveness itself and its measurement, while paying special attention to the political development of comparative advantages related to international trade. The second part of the monograph, chapters 5 through 8, is of empirical nature. This section contains case studies of selected countries that represent models of various national innovation systems. Finally, the theoretical and practical aspects are integrated, allowing policymakers and financial and business leaders to consider how their decisions can influence their countries’ competitive positions through their investments in innovation and human capital.

Book Synopsis human capital and university- industry linkage's role in fostering firm innovation: an empirical study of chile and colombia by : Daniela Marotta
Download or read book human capital and university- industry linkage's role in fostering firm innovation: an empirical study of chile and colombia written by Daniela Marotta and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A firm's absorptive capacity, human capital and linkages with knowledge institutions have been shown to increase the firm's probability of innovating in OECD economies. Despite its importance for national- and firm-level competitiveness, few papers examine the impact of the same variables for firms innovation in Latin America. This paper investigates the link between firm innovation and its absorption capacity as proxied by the presence of a R & D department, the firm's human capital, and its interaction with research centers and universities. We analyze the case of Chilean and Colombian manufacturing firms using data from innovation surveys. A probit regression model is applied to identify the determinants of innovation activity. We find that collaboration with university and research institutions is associated with an increase in the probability of introducing a new product in Chilean and Colombian firms of 29 and 44 percent, respectively, and it can increase up to 58 percent in the case of Colombian firms interacting with research centers. Moreover, firms whose employees have a higher level of education, or whose managers/supervisors have a higher (perceived) level of knowledge, are more likely to innovate. Although the estimates could be affected by biases and suffer from shortcomings in data, the findings suggest that policies and incentives to increase firm-level human capital and industry-university linkages are important to increase innovation in Latin America.

Book excerpt: "This literature review examines the role of human capital formation in building innovative capacity in firms. The aim of the review is to develop a model of human capital development factors to be used as a basis for a larger research project where the factors that develop innovation capacity in enterprises will be investigated. The review finds that human capital stimulus factors are developed through appropriate human resource management practices, the learning and development system (in the enterprise) and the tertiary education system. The review also finds that the three key issues in developing human capital for innovation in enterprises are people, knowledge and creativity management." - NCVER website.

Book excerpt: Human capital, generally seen as a set of knowledge, abilities and skills of the individuals, used in the activities that stimulate economic growth and development, was considered to be a stimulus of the innovation process. In the economic literature, it was mentioned the existence of three types of human capital: firm-specific human capital, industry-specific human capital and individual-specific human capital. Because the first two types of human capital refer to the abilities and knowledge valuable only within a specific firm or industry, they have a limited impact on the innovative activity within a region or state. In contrast with these two, individual-specific human capital implies knowledge that is applicable to a large range of firms and industries. Considering that individuals abilities and skills that can be improved and so they can change the way they act, human capital is seen to be an important source of competitive advantage to individuals, organizations and even to societies, having a huge capacity of innovation induction.
