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.
Developed countries must be incredibly innovative to secure incomes
and welfare so that they may successfully compete against
international rivals. This book focuses on two specific but
interrelated aspects of innovation by incumbent firms and
entrepreneurs, the role of geography and of open innovation.
Geography, Open Innovation and Entrepreneurship discusses
entrepreneurship from both theoretical and empirical viewpoints to
provide readers with a wide range of cutting-edge and compelling
studies. The authors highlight the critical importance of open
innovation for performance and progress, putting forward
determinants of economic growth and development rarely analyzed in
standard growth studies. Researchers and students will find this
book useful for innovation and entrepreneurship studies. It is also
a helpful tool for policymakers, planners and consultants involved
in economic development and regional policies. Contributors

The blue economy is a widely used concept in policy circles;
however, people across a wide spectrum have a peripheral
understanding of the phenomenon. At the moment, there are several
conflicting understandings of the blue economy but no universally
accepted definition and veritable measures. Considering the
existential importance of the blue economy for the protection of
marine environments and sustainability of businesses, there is an
urgent need for rigorous conceptual, policy-focused, theoretical,
and empirical studies on the subject from multidisciplinary
perspectives. Implications for Entrepreneurship and Enterprise
Development in the Blue Economy enriches existing definitions of a
blue economy with inputs from a multidisciplinary lens and provides
veritable measures for evaluating blue economy progression and
compliance. Covering topics such as economics, natural resource
development, social equity, and sustainability, this reference work
is ideal for policymakers, entrepreneurs, managers, oceanographers,
marine biologists, scholars, industry professionals, government
officials, academicians, researchers, practitioners, instructors,
and students.
Sometimes you have to die in order to live.
Big Brother Night. A fraternity pledge. Hazing. Alcohol overindulgence.
Blacking out. A traumatic head injury.
These are all the things that led up to Bryan Dulaney being dropped off
on the sidewalk at the emergency room, and left for dead by strangers
from the fraternity house when he was a minor.
At .40 you are dead. Bryan's blood alcohol level that night was .39.
The doctors knew Bryan should have been dead, but God had much bigger
plans and a purpose for Bryan Dulaney.
When you're in the darkness, keep walking and you will get to the light.
The author went through the darkest period of his life and transformed
it into a brand new life filled with more meaning and a bigger purpose
than even he could see at the time.
When Bryan Dulaney left the hospital that miraculous day in 2003, he
serendipitously saw a sign on the road that read: "God has a plan and
purpose for your life."
That was the sign he needed to completely change his life and start his
joinery of total transformation, starting with his mind, body, and
spirit.
Not only did Bryan's physical body die that night, but many areas of
his life as he knew it had to die in order for him to be reborn and

What had to die?
- His relationships
- His community
- His geography
- The unforgiveness he was holding against his father and himself
- His business
- His school
- His lifestyle
As everything was dying, Bryan Dulaney was learning how to live anew.
Bryan Dulaney changed the direction of his life and began to share his
personal story with others as well as help others share their own
stories. He did that through his business, The Perfect Funnel
System(TM), and became "the Top 1% of all marketers and funnels experts
in the world" according to Tony Robbins, the world's #1 motivational
coach on helping people unlock their full potential in seconds instead
of years.
Bryan didn't do it alone. He turned to God every step of the way so he
could stay focused and on purpose. Since then he's been on a mission to
help people share their own stories and wisdom so they can increase
their impact, influence, and income through is proprietary systems.

This book uses differences in firm and market regulation and organization to explain differences in national economic performance. These differences affect the way in which firms process information, which is crucial to performance. Applying game theory, contract theory, and information theory, Aoki describes the rules and conventions in Japan, the USA, and the transitional economies. He shows how firms can achieveDSand in the case of Japan, maintainDScompetitive advantage in international markets.
The international financial crisis of 2007 and 2008 and the
situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have had a great impact
on many firms' financial needs. Simultaneously, several emerging
countries have bet on boosting private initiatives as a way to
diversify their economies and create jobs and wealth for their
populations. New forms of financing have appeared that have
impacted the firm's capital structure, cost of capital, and access
to finance by underprivileged communities that are normally outside
the formal economy. The Handbook of Research on Acceleration
Programs for SMEs provides and shares knowledge on the financial
mix, alternative forms of finance, capital structure, and more. It
calls attention to relevant challenges, financial institutions, and
governments to guarantee funds and economic and social development
with new competencies, innovations, new ways of investing,
entrepreneurship, and business models with new public policies.
Covering topics such as earnings management, capital structure, and
foreign exchange, this major reference work is an essential
resource for government officials, business leaders and executives,
economists, sociologists, students and faculty of higher education,
librarians, researchers, and academicians.

Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. This exciting
Research Agenda offers a multi-disciplinary and historically
informed programme for the further investigation of the global
political economy of the corporate sector. It tackles the question,
can and should the corporation be reformed? Christopher May
develops a range of intersecting areas for research while also
offering an account of the possibilities for the reform of the
global corporation. Based on an understanding of the history of
corporations, the author provides key insights into their
management and political agency as well as the operation of the
global corporate supply chain. Drawing links between a range of
disciplines and perspectives on business enterprises, May calls for
a more nuanced understanding of the global corporate sector in
order to better comprehend the contours of the contemporary global
capitalist system. This Research Agenda will be a valuable resource
for students and academics of politics, economics, sociology and
law, who are curious to explore the corporation in relation to
their area of study.
