For most Western audiences, Cuba is a touristic paradise stuck in
time and virtually detached from world technology networks by the
US embargo - anything but a hub of industrial innovation and high
value-added biotechnology. However, a closer look reveals more
subtle but equally powerful stories that challenge the homogenizing
assumptions of conventional economics and open up scope for more
sophisticated reflections on Cuban economy and industry. From this
kind of enquiry emerges the case of the internationally respected
Cuban biotech industry as the most successful case of science and
technology policy in the country's economic history. The book takes
an interdisciplinary approach, exploring issues such as
interdependency, purpose and history as natural constituencies of
the innovation process. It also examines the dynamic and crucial
role played by the state in the formation of innovative business
enterprises. This book will be of interest to academic researchers
in the fields of innovation and economic development.
