Technological change is central in explaining industrial
leadership, but the relationships and interactions between
scientific research, industrial innovation, and competitiveness are
neither clear nor straightforward. Public research funding and
business strategy dictate to a significant extent the manner in,
and extent to which innovation occurs within the economy. This book
analyses the role of technological change in the competitiveness of
firms and national economies. This includes an examination of: *
the roles of R&D spending, and the organisational and
technological capabilities of firms in the encouragement of
innovation; * the way institutions in various nations differ in the
way in which they encourage - or discourage - innovation; and the
way in which different industrial sectors provide - or fail to
provide - incentives to innovate; and * the ways in which trade,
the operation of multinationals and international trade
negotiations influence national production and innovation systems .
The book combines insights of innovation scholars with those from
business history, sociology and economics, in exploring the
relation between organizational structures and the process of
innovation. It places the analysis of innovation within an
international perspective and gives historical and current examples
of the interaction between organisational and technological
capabilities, industrial and innovation policies and economic
performance. Examples are drawn from a range of sectors (services,
pharmaceuticals, construction, chemicals) and a range of countries
(including the UK and other European countries, the USA, East Asia
and Latin America).
