Knowledge intensive entrepreneurship lies at the core of the
structural shift necessary for the growth and development of a
knowledge based economy, yet research reveals that the EU has fewer
young leading innovators, and Europe's new firms do not adequately
contribute to industrial growth. This is especially true in the
high R&D intensive, high-tech sectors. This structural malaise,
undermining Europe's growth potential, is well diagnosed, but
poorly understood. This volume fills this important gap by
exploring new firms that have significant knowledge intensity in
their activity and develop and exploit innovative opportunities in
diverse sectors. Through an evolutionary and systemic approach to
entrepreneurship, focusing on knowledge intensive entrepreneurship
as both a micro and a macro phenomena and analyzing firms in the
context of various socio-economic models, the authors explore firms
creation and origins around the world, their organization,
strategies and business models as well as the role of innovation
systems and institutions in their formation and growth. This
comprehensive research text is vital reading for academics,
researchers and students of high-tech and knowledge intensive
entrepreneurship as well as those with an interest in industrial
dynamics, innovation management and public policy.
This book uniquely applies the Schumpeterian innovation policy
perspective to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). A
broadly defined framework of the science, technology, innovation
and growth system underpins the empirical and conceptual analysis
of the critical issues including demand, FDI, finance and
education. Specifically, the expert contributors address the
(in)capacity of CEE to play a more significant role in the
knowledge-based competitiveness of the EU. They question whether it
is possible to bolster this capacity with
innovation/technology/industry-specific policies, and discuss the
changes required at EU and individual country levels to remove
sector and industry specific obstacles to greater competitiveness
based on innovation. Policies are analyzed from the perspective of
growth, and the conclusions drawn are relevant to education, the
labor market and competition policy. This highly original, explicit
and systematic study will prove an illuminating read for academics,
researchers, students and policy makers focusing on a range of
areas including economics, heterodox economics, European studies,
technology and innovation. Contributors include: P. Aghion, J.
Edler, H. Harmgart, A. Kaderabkova, R. Narula, S. Radosevic, A.
Reid, A. Reinstaller, F. Unterlass, N. Weisshaar
International technology transfer has been an essential element of
the 'catching up' process in developing countries over the last
thirty years. This book reappraises its role in economic
development in light of the globalization of the world economy. The
author provides an excellent overview and historiography of
technology transfer mechanisms. He then discusses the new
technology transfer issues, particularly 'sourcing', which have
emerged as a result of increasing globalization. International
Technology Transfer and Catch-up in Economic Development
significantly improves our understanding of how developing
economies and economies in transition could approach technology
transfer policy in an increasingly globalized and open economic
environment.

Regional growth in the European Union hinges to a large extent on
smart specialization, a new and exciting theme in economic
innovation studies. Advances in the Theory and Practice of Smart
Specialization illuminates problems that have stifled the
implementation of smart specialization policies, such as unique
regional constraints and the inter-dependent demands of economic
growth and commercial development. Forward-looking and pragmatic,
it provides guidance for developing smart specialization strategies
both to those involved in European affairs and others grappling
with regional innovation and economic development worldwide.
