The Arab region has become a hotbed of economic growth in recent
decades. While this growth has indisputably brought in wealth,
there are still countless questions about the characteristics,
constraints, and implications of the region's systems of
innovation. Do these systems even exist in the Arab region? How
does the current economic structure affect regional innovation? Is
the presence of natural resources a help or a hindrance? Economic
Systems of Innovation in the Arab Region discusses the causes,
consequences, and implications of poor systems of innovation in the
Middle East and North Africa. By examining the comparative weakness
of innovation, the economic structure, and the diversity of the
region, Nour shows that the development of Arab regional systems of
innovation is contingent upon the development of adequate economic
policies and incentives in the area. Her contribution is key for
students and scholars of economics, innovation, and international
relations.
This book discusses the use, economic importance and impact of
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in public and
private Sudanese universities. The author provides an in-depth
analysis of the economic impact of ICT from the demand perspective
as well as from the public-private perspective. This book also
examines the status, pattern, structure, trend and determinants of
the demand for ICT in public and private Sudanese universities. It
investigates the economic impacts of the uses of ICT, the potential
opportunities and challenges that ICT is expected to create for
public and private Sudanese universities, and explains the role of
ICT in facilitating the production, creation and transfer of
knowledge in Sudanese universities.
This book discusses skill formation, upskilling of workers, and
their interaction with technological change in Gulf countries.
Heavy dependence on oil, the 'Dutch Disease', and the high
incidence of unskilled foreign workers have caused serious
structural imbalances in the labour market in the Gulf. The author
shows that success of economic development strategies to address
such imbalances are all contingent upon the development of adequate
and appropriate skills in the region. This book confirms the role
and impact of the deficiencies in the educational system alongside
the well established effects of the excessive use of uneducated
foreign workers and lack of incentives in the labour market. A
comprehensive investigation of the skill problem and an elaborate
in-depth analysis to assess the causes, consequences and
relationships between poor skills and technological performance are
highlights of this book. This is an ideal resource for policy
makers in the Gulf region and researchers of the topic.
With the ongoing restructuring in Sudan, structural issues such as
the need for skill development and interaction with technological
change need an in-depth analysis that this book offers. The central
themes of this book are- required skill formation, upskilling of
the workers, and their interaction with technological change in
lieu of a deficient educational system and its implications. An
empirical investigation of the causes and consequences of low skill
and technology indicators using a primary survey at macro and micro
levels is undertaken. This is followed by an examination of the
interaction between the low skill and technology indicators, the
relationships between skill, upskilling and technology indicators,
skills mismatch, the uses and impacts of ICT and differences at
firm as well as industry level as well as knowledge transfer
effects. A set of recommendations towards the need for
implementation of consistent policies, increasing incentives and
collaboration between public and private institutions completes the
book.
