'This book overturns the old paradigm ideas about
natural-resource-based activities. It sheds light on the new
opportunities for technological dynamism and catching-up by using
science to open novel directions in traditional sectors. It should
become a classic in what I expect will be a very important academic
debate and a new trend in development policy.' - Carlota Perez,
Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia, Cambridge University and
University of Sussex, UK 'This excellent book provides a deep
understanding of why and how emerging countries are able to
catch-up and enter international markets in an industry that once
was considered as traditional, but which has now become a
relatively articulated and science-based sectoral system.' - Franco
Malerba, KITeS, Bocconi University, Italy 'This excellent book
demonstrates better than any other I know the strengths and limits
of the concept of a national system of innovation for understanding
economic development today. Any careful student of innovation or
development will want to read it.' - Charles Sabel, Columbia Law
School, US 'In the New World, viticulture and wine production has
had to develop with verve and enthusiasm, to be able to survive and
to flourish. In countries like Chile and Argentina, the continuing
decline of domestic wine consumption has forced technicians and
entrepreneurs to conquer the world with innovation and technology,
to produce wines of international taste and to attract potential
buyers to these markets. This book is a very professional account
of these phenomena, which have profoundly changed the marketing of
wines in the past 20 years.' - Aurelio Montes, President of Vina
Montes, Chile Since the beginning of the 1990s, the supremacy of
'Old World' countries (France and Italy) in the international wine
market has been challenged by new players, such as Australia,
Argentina, Chile and South Africa, which are recording stunning
performances in terms both of export volume and value. This book
demonstrates that such a spectacular example of catch-up goes
beyond simply copying new technologies; it entails creative
adaptation and innovation, and introduces a new growth trajectory
in which consistent investments in research and science play a key
role. Contributors: K. Anderson, L. Cassi, R.A. Corredoira, L.
