Providing a global survey of public policies and programs for
building national and regional ecosystems of science and technology
based entrepreneurial development, this book provides a unique
analysis of the advances, over the last several decades and in
light of the experiential knowledge gained in various parts of the
world, in the understanding of innovation systems in the pursuit of
developing these economies. Presenting nineteen case studies of
diverse developed and emerging economy nations and their regions,
more than thirty expert authors describe an array of policy and
program mechanisms that have been implemented over the years. The
in-depth analysis of the worldwide efforts featured in this volume
provide the reader with several valuable lessons. There are clear
indications of a trend toward better cohesion and coordination of
national efforts to improve innovation but also a trend toward the
broadening of regional agendas to address technology, talent,
capital, innovation infrastructure and entrepreneurship culture
issues - considered essential for knowledge based entrepreneurial
growth. The book also offers a unique treatment of grassroots level
programmatic aspects of these efforts, including some novel
entrepreneurial mechanisms employed for policy implementation. The
book's blend of theory and practice provides valuable insights to
the reader, particularly government, academic and private sector
policy makers and scholars researching or involved directly with
efforts to build and support the development of science and
technology based entrepreneurial regions. Contributors include:
