Innovation and the Entrepreneurial University (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018): Dirk Meissner, Erkan Erdil, Joanna Chataway Innovation and the Entrepreneurial University (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018)
Dirk Meissner, Erkan Erdil, Joanna Chataway
R5,394 Discovery Miles 53 940 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The book explores different approaches towards the 'entrepreneurial university' paradigm, explores channels and mechanism used by universities to implement the paradigm and contributes to the public discussion on the impact of commercialization on university research and knowledge. It argues that different types of university-industry interaction may have repercussions even on funding of basic research if an appropriate balance is ensured between the two. University activities - both research and education in all forms - should provide economic and social relevance directed towards open science and open innovation. This book adds value to current knowledge by presenting both a conceptual framework and case studies which describe different contexts.

Promoting Innovation, Productivity and Industrial Growth and Reducing Poverty (Paperback): Maureen Mackintosh, Joanna Chataway,... Promoting Innovation, Productivity and Industrial Growth and Reducing Poverty (Paperback)
Maureen Mackintosh, Joanna Chataway, Marc Wuyts
R1,519 Discovery Miles 15 190 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Development and the ending of mass poverty require a massive increase in productive capabilities and production in developing countries. Some countries, notably in Asia, are achieving this. Yet 'pro-poor' aid policies, especially for the least developed countries, operate largely without reference to policy thinking on the promotion of innovation for productivity growth. Conversely, policy-makers and researchers on innovation and industrial policies tend to know little about the potential for social protection to support innovation and productivity improvement. This book aims to focus attention on this gulf between research on innovation and on poverty reduction and to identify some of its policy consequences; to set out some ways in which this gulf can be bridged, analytically and empirically; and to contribute to the creation of an agenda for further research and an understanding of the urgency of the implied rethinking.

The first two chapters provide sustained arguments for embedding social policy thinking in much more 'productivist' frameworks of thought that focus on raising productivity and employment; and for identifying growth theories that can incorporate satisfactory understandings of innovation and employment upgrading. A set of chapters then tackle these broad themes in the context of health, addressing the interlinked issues of innovation, health inequity and associated impoverishment. The final set of chapters examines the challenge of creating industrial policies that generate both innovation and employment, using and going beyond concepts of systems of innovation.
