From various perspectives, these distinguished commentators describe the practical aspects of technology's reach into business and trade.
Book Synopsis Technology, Growth and Competitiveness by : Jan Fagerberg
Download or read book Technology, Growth and Competitiveness written by Jan Fagerberg and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fagerberg's (economics, U. of Oslo) research project investigating why some countries succeed much better than others in generating growth and competitiveness, was suppose to run from 1983 to 1986, but refused to go away. Some of the 16 reproduced essays were published in 1987, some were part of his 1988 Ph.D. dissertation for the University of Sussex, and some have appeared as late as 2000. Together they represent a more complete analysis of the relationship between technology, growth, and competitiveness than he has attempted before. Each can be read separately. There is no subject index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Book Synopsis State Policies and Techno-Industrial Innovation by : Ulrich Hilpert
Download or read book State Policies and Techno-Industrial Innovation written by Ulrich Hilpert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-31 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behind the rhetoric of `intervention' and `deregulation' which has accompanied state attempts to stimulate technological innovation in the last decade is secreted a story of failed ambitions, confusion, muddle and incoherence. Techno-industrial innovation does make demands on the state, not only in terms of new industries, but also in regard to the inter-relation of industrial and R&D policy and the creation of markets. This book provides a comparative analysis of techno-industrial innovation in Europe, Japan and the USA. Drawing on case studies ranging from the semi-conductor to the biotechnology industries, the book presents a comprehensive and detailed survey of national strategies for the internal and world markets and sets them in their political context, where `the costs may be high and the pay-offs uncertain'.
Book Synopsis Innovation Strategies in Interdependent States by : John De la Mothe
Download or read book Innovation Strategies in Interdependent States written by John De la Mothe and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2006-02-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the issues facing smaller regions and countries, John de la Mothe explores how innovation, strategy and interdependence shape their performance, competition, and futures. Innovation and interdependence are central elements of advanced and advancing economies. In our globalized world, the production of knowledge is continually evolving. This is reflected in the design of institutions and in the results on the standards of living that are achieved and sustained. It also implies new forms of competition. Increasingly, smaller countries, regions and cities that do not fit into traditional theories of growth are becoming leaders in technology-intensive products and quick followers in innovative practices. Often heavily committed to large emerging economic markets (such as China and India) and political hegemons (such as Germany, Japan, and the United States), smaller nations, regions and cities are playing an almost unprecedented role in the shape of things to come. By examining the texture of the new economy, paths to constructing advantage, and aspects of the cultures that lead to the new economy, this book provides a valuable and essential guide to scholars, policymakers, strategists and students.

Download or read book Small is Democratic written by Dana Ott and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the relationship between state size and the formation and maintenance of democratic political systems. Using a cross-national, multiple case study of The Gambia in West Africa, and Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean, in combination with a quantitative data set on all the nations in the world, the study examines the effects of smallness, when measured by population size, on a number of variables including the probability of becoming and remaining democratic, access to information, political instability and political violence. The dissertation argues that the small scale social structure which is prevalent in small states directly affects the social interaction of individuals in these states through the multiple-role relationships created as a consequence; and indirectly affects the political and economic systems of these states through the impact of such social networks on political interaction, etc. The case studies examine the effects of smallness on two states that, aside from being small and democratic, share few background characteristics. It is argued that small state size acts as an enabling environment for democratization, increasing the likelihood that such states will become and remain democratic, as occurred in Trinidad and Tobago. The case of The Gambia illustrates the limitations of smallness to overcome other obstacles to democratization including economic, social, and systemic limitations. The quantitative analysis establishes a significant statistical relationship between small state size, when measured by population, and the formation and maintenance of political democracy, and an increased likelihood of political violence, when measured by political riots and deaths by political violence. The analysis concludes with a discussion of the implications of such findings, including transferability through the application of targeted decentralization programs.

Book Synopsis Trouble in the Making? by : Mary Hallward-Driemeier
Download or read book Trouble in the Making? written by Mary Hallward-Driemeier and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology and globalization are threatening manufacturing’s traditional ability to deliver both productivity and jobs at a large scale for unskilled workers. Concerns about widening inequality within and across countries are raising questions about whether interventions are needed and how effective they could be. Trouble in the Making? The Future of Manufacturing-Led Development addresses three questions: - How has the global manufacturing landscape changed and why does this matter for development opportunities? - How are emerging trends in technology and globalization likely to shape the feasibility and desirability of manufacturing-led development in the future? - If low wages are going to be less important in defining competitiveness, how can less industrialized countries make the most of new opportunities that shifting technologies and globalization patterns may bring? The book examines the impacts of new technologies (i.e., the Internet of Things, 3-D printing, and advanced robotics), rising international competition, and increased servicification on manufacturing productivity and employment. The aim is to inform policy choices for countries currently producing and for those seeking to enter new manufacturing markets. Increased polarization is a risk, but the book analyzes ways to go beyond focusing on potential disruptions to position workers, firms, and locations for new opportunities. www.worldbank.org/futureofmanufacturing
Book Synopsis Agricultural and Environmental Research in Small Countries by : Pablo Eyzaguirre
Download or read book Agricultural and Environmental Research in Small Countries written by Pablo Eyzaguirre and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1996-07-10 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing countries are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain research institutions that can support the broad demands of their agricultural and natural resource sectors. In many countries, this is due to a diminutive economy and population which limits the resource base upon which to build a viable, productive research system. This book examines the ways small countries have approached these problems and how they can use their small-scale institutions and limited resources to best advantage. The main feature of this book is a national portfolio approach to the strategic planning of research. This approach addresses the many institutional, policy, and scientific demands that stretch the scope of research in small developing countries, including new developments in natural resource management, biotechnology, regional collaboration, networking, and the management of scientific information. Based on the experience of small countries with small research organisations, Agricultural and Environmental Research in Small Countries provides valuable lessons for all policymakers and scientific leaders who are looking for innovative ways to address the growing complexity of national agricultural research in the emerging global system.

Book Synopsis Technological Innovation and International Competitiveness for Business Growth by : João J. M. Ferreira
Download or read book Technological Innovation and International Competitiveness for Business Growth written by João J. M. Ferreira and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-22 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how companies combine technological innovation and competitive actions that create new opportunities for business growth in the international market. The complexity of designing today’s technology platforms requires profound knowledge in multiple areas. Technology development and commercialization as an ongoing competitive process involves enabling and inhibiting mechanisms, which govern the speed and acceleration of technological innovation. To compete more effectively, potential competitors are using coopetition and pooling their resources for shared gain in areas where they do not compete directly. Thus, a thorough examination of the current paradigms, theories, and frameworks is needed to increase our understanding of the technology-innovation-competitiveness linkages of business growth. This book brings together recent developments and methodological contributions within technological innovation, international competitiveness, and business growth that bridge the existing gaps and simultaneously advances the debate on this research topic.
