The research presented in this volume explains how well-educated
workers can interact with physical capital inputs to innovate and
add value to processes, products and services, ultimately creating
a multiplier-effect on macroeconomic growth. It fills a significant
gap in the existing literature by providing a detailed map of the
relationship between microeconomic inputs such as health and
education services and macroeconomic outputs such as growth.
Grounded in economic theory and backed by economic analysis,
""Knowledge and Innovation for Competitiveness"" makes a compelling
argument that human capital is one of the main keys to growth in an
increasingly knowledge-driven global economy.The volume goes on to
detail specific steps authorities can take to better prepare
citizens and workers to innovate and compete. Using Brazil as a
case study, it explains why some policies are effective, or
ineffective, in training citizens and workers to adapt and apply
new technologies in a fast-changing global economic environment.
Starting with pre-school and extending through university and the
workplace, ""Knowledge and Innovation for Competitiveness"" argues
that it is possible to foster or frustrate competitiveness at any
stage. As such, it should serve as an important sourcebook of
pro-growth policy recommendations for authorities, both inside and
outside Brazil.
