Recent research on the economics of innovation has acknowledged the
importance of path dependence and networks in the evolution of
economies and the diffusion of new techniques, products, and
processes. These are topics pioneered by Paul A. David, one of the
world's leading scholars in the economics of innovation. This
outstanding collection provides a fitting tribute to the diversity
and depth of Paul David's contributions. The papers included range
from simulation models of the evolution of market structure in the
presence of innovation, through historical investigations of
knowledge networks and empirical analysis of contemporary networks,
to the analysis of the diffusion of innovations using simulation
and analytic models and of the diffusion of knowledge using patent
data. With an emphasis on simulation models, data analysis, and
historical evidence, this book will be required reading for
researchers in innovation economics and regional development as
well as economists, sociologists, and historians of innovation and
intellectual property.
It is now widely recognized that many of the central unresolved
problems in economic policy, management and research turn on
questions of knowledge. Increasingly, complex firms and agencies
must ask, and answer, such difficult questions as: What is
knowledge? Where is it? Who has it? Does the organization lose or
gain competitive advantage or effectiveness by sharing knowledge?
Where can we find the knowledge we need? How can we measure
knowledge? In a knowledge-based economy, these queries are integral
to the pursuits of every policy maker, analyst and strategist.
Knowledge Management in The Innovation Process - a joint project
between Statistics Canada and Program of Research on Innovation
Management and Economy (PRIME) at the University of Ottawa - brings
together economic, social, measurement and policy views on these
critical issues. This project fits into an ongoing research program
at Statistics Canada to develop meaningful indicators for science,
technology and innovation in a technology-intensive economy. It
also fits into the ongoing program at PRIME to better understand
technology policy and innovation strategy. This book tells the
story of the dynamic interplay between knowledge and innovation
with an eye to developing tools and frameworks for managing
knowledge for social and economic benefit.
Technological Infrastructure Policy provides a systematic treatment
of technological infrastructure (TI) and Technological
Infrastructure Policy (TIP) which are emerging fields of interest
both for academic economists and for policy makers in both advanced
and developing economies. The specific topics covered include: the
role of TI in economic growth and development; the nature and
definition of TI; TI-components; the relationships between TI and
markets; salient features of TIP. Technological Infrastructure
Policy reflects the distinction made between basic and advanced TI.
Basic TI involves the collective absorption of foreign technology
for subsequent diffusion to domestic firms. Several chapters
explicitly deal with this process with an emphasis on the supply of
advisory services to small and medium enterprises. Advanced TI
involves precompetitive, cooperation research and development in
cutting edge technologies undertaken by consortia of firms. Several
examples of advanced TIP are given. The novel integration of
various conceptual and practical aspects of TI and TIP is the
strong point of this book.
This innovative book comprehensively sheds light on the theory and
practice of technological policies by employing modern analytical
tools and economic techniques. The New Economics of Technology
Policy focuses on all public interventions intended to influence
the intensity, composition and direction of technological
innovations within a given entity such as a region, country or
group of countries. Dominique Foray has gathered together many of
the leading scholars in the field to comprehensively explore
numerous avenues and pathways of research. Bringing together a
collection of policy-oriented papers, this book will strongly
appeal to policy-makers, academic researchers and graduate students
with an interest in economics, public policy, science, technology
and society.
This is the first book on a new policy approach that has been
widely adopted in Europe and beyond. It analyses the concept of
smart specialisation and discuss the need for smart specialisation
strategies, explains why the approach is new and different from
more standard policy processes and explores what are the conditions
for successful implementation. Smart Specialisation: Opportunities
and Challenges for Regional Innovation Policy describes the origin
of the concept, explains when a smart specialisation policy is
necessary, provides a detailed analysis of the design principles of
the policy and discuss the pertinence of this approach according to
regional development levels. Finally the book discuss the practical
implementation phase of the process - based on the first feedback
acquired from certain regions engaged in the preparation of their
smart specialisation strategy. The book is original in that it
provides the first full analysis of smart specialisation strategies
both at theoretical and practical levels. It has been written at
the critical period of the implementation of smart specialisation
strategies in every region in Europe. The fact that the EU has
adopted smart specialisation as a mandatory principle for every
region and member states will make this book well received by and
very useful for: i) policy makers in regional and national
administrations in Europe, ii) policy makers in other parts of the
world who are in charge of regional policy and have heard about the
concept, iii) consultants, analysts and experts who are active on
the "markets for smart specialisation diagnosis and expertise", iv)
scholars, researchers and graduate students working in the field of
regional studies, technology policy and geography of innovation.
