The intangible capitalist economy, that is intellectual capitalism,
continues evolving, driven by technological innovations and various
forms of entrepreneurship. The creation of intellectual capital and
intellectual properties lies at its heart. This eagerly anticipated
book analyzes the many complex links between R&D, patents,
innovations, entrepreneurship, growth and value creation in this
process. Based on an extensive array of national empirical and
policy studies, Ove Granstrand explores a comprehensive range of
innovation and intellectual property (IP) issues that pertain not
only to Europe but to the entire world. These issues include the
role of patents and licensing in the governance of technology and
innovation, and the many uses and abuses of patents. The text also
details new IP phenomena in an increasingly patent-intensive world
with patent-rich multinationals and patent-savvy new entrants from
Asia. In a world facing challenges that call for innovative
responses, this book contains a set of valuable policy
recommendations for strengthening innovativeness for economic
growth and ultimately for social value creation. This timely book
will be a valuable resource for economics, law and management
scholars wishing to gain a thorough understanding of the topic.
Practitioners and policy-makers will also greatly benefit from
reading this volume, following up on the author's widely acclaimed
book published in 1999 The Economics and Management of Intellectual
Property: Towards Intellectual Capitalism.

Despite being challenged by authoritarian counter-revolutionary
responses, the Coronavirus pandemic, and a complex (geo)political
context, the uprisings that started ten years ago in many countries
of the Middle East and North Africa are still very much alive. By
adopting a comparative approach, this comprehensive volume
investigates the ongoing protests on three levels of analysis
(local, national, regional) and through seven case studies
(Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, Sudan, and Tunisia).
Particular attention is also placed on the role of the European
Union and its member states in this historical transformation.
Drawing on recent research perspectives, the book discusses how
social investment policies could be responsive to territorial
inequalities in terms of better policy coordination, capacities,
and institutional infrastructures' adaptability to territorial
needs. By combining theoretical notions about territorial cohesion,
territorial development, and social investment, the book provides
an argument for the "territorialization of social investment
policy" in the case of Lithuania. The contributions of various
authors encourage a different way of looking at the territorial
sensitivity of welfare policy strategies implemented in advantaged
developing areas and those which are disadvantaged peripheral
territories.
Cybersecurity is vital for all businesses, regardless of sector.
With constant threats and potential online dangers, businesses must
remain aware of the current research and information available to
them in order to protect themselves and their employees.
Maintaining tight cybersecurity can be difficult for businesses as
there are so many moving parts to contend with, but remaining
vigilant and having protective measures and training in place is
essential for a successful company. The Research Anthology on
Business Aspects of Cybersecurity considers all emerging aspects of
cybersecurity in the business sector including frameworks, models,
best practices, and emerging areas of interest. This comprehensive
reference source is split into three sections with the first
discussing audits and risk assessments that businesses can conduct
to ensure the security of their systems. The second section covers
training and awareness initiatives for staff that promotes a
security culture. The final section discusses software and systems
that can be used to secure and manage cybersecurity threats.
Covering topics such as audit models, security behavior, and
insider threats, it is ideal for businesses, business
professionals, managers, security analysts, IT specialists,
executives, academicians, researchers, computer engineers, graduate
students, and practitioners.
From the winner of the Financial Times and McKinsey Bracken Bower
Prize for young authors, a book that maps the billion-dollar
companies springing up around the globe and the future landscape of
the world economy. Global technological trends come and go. In this
book, Mehran Gul maps the recent waves of technological advancement
up until the current moment, as the model shifts from a system
where many products are designed in the United States and assembled
in China, to one where billion-dollar companies are springing up in
places like China, Korea, Singapore, India and continental Europe,
and innovation becomes a far more global game.
Public Finance is a part of multi-disciplinary scientific field
focusing on challenging issues that are significantly important for
the common good of humanity. Since the appearance of the states,
public goods, public services, and public policies have been
developed for the wealth and goodness of people all over the world.
Although the privatization process has gained significant speed
since the era of Neoliberalism, the state power collaborating with
international monitoring institutions to struggle against
challenging issues is needed now more than ever. Therefore, public
economics should be focused on the new challenging issues such as
pandemics, global warming and climate changes. This book evaluates
the economic and social impacts of new challenging issues in public
economics. The new challenging issues in public economics, such as
global warming and the global pandemic, have directly affected the
world economy in terms of the economic units, institutions and
social life. Therefore, this book is appropriate for social science
scholars, government officials, policy makers and, businessmen of
international companies that focused on environmental policies, and
more.
