In recent years many new international market leaders from the
BRICS countries have emerged in diverse manufacturing and service
industries. How did these new leaders emerge and become key players
in their respective industries? What factors contributed to their
success and enabled them to become market leaders? This new study
answers these important questions with evidence presented from case
studies in the automotive, pharmaceutical and ICT industries of
China, India and Brazil. A common framework of analysis is followed
throughout the volume allowing readers to compare and contrast the
cases examined. This framework brings together factors at the firm,
country and sectoral levels to explain the rise to leadership of
these firms. The book highlights the importance of vibrant
entrepreneurship and demonstrates that being local and having an
ability to learn and build capabilities based on local knowledge
have been major drivers of market success. Yet it also shows how
such firm-level factors have been complemented by the role of both
national and sectoral systems of innovation. This book offers an
integrated framework for the study of innovation and the rise of
market leaders as well as original case studies from important
emerging economies. It will appeal to students, scholars,
researchers and policy-makers interested in economic development
and catch-up, entrepreneurship, innovation management and
evolutionary economics. Contributors include: P. Adams, W. Bai,
L.R. Cavalcante, X. Chen, R.A. Filgueiras de Sousa, B. Guo, S.

With respect to intellectual property regimes, a significant change
in international governance rules is mandated by the Agreement on
Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS).This
topical volume deals with the processes through which TRIPS
compliance was achieved in four developing country jurisdictions:
Brazil, China, India and Thailand. More importantly, it analyses
the macro and micro implications of TRIPS compliance for innovative
activity in industry in general, but focuses specifically on the
agrochemical, automotive and pharmaceutical sectors. This unique
volume will appeal to a wide range of scholars working on
development, evolutionary economics and technology. Contributors:
T. Caliari, P. Charoenporn, S. Chaudhuri, S. Hong, P.
Intarakumnerd, S. Mani, R. Mazzoleni, L. Nagarajan, R.R. Nelson, L.

This unique book offers a comprehensive analysis of the changing
role of government with respect to domestic technology development
in eight countries in both the developed and the developing world.
The author distinguishes between those countries which can be
classed as creators of new technologies (Japan, Korea and Israel)
and those which possess the potential to create new technologies
(Singapore, Malaysia, India, South Africa and Brazil). The author
details the fiscal and non-fiscal policy measures each country
employs to stimulate investments in R&D in the enterprise
sector. He finds that, for financial instruments such as tax
incentives and research grants to succeed, a strong emphasis also
needs to be placed on non-fiscal policy measures. The most
important of these is human resource development which is
emphasised as an integral component of successful innovation
policy. The book is written in a manner which allows the comparison
of results between each country. Government, Innovation and
Technology Policy will be a valuable text for governments, NGOs and
multilateral institutions interested in the practicalities of
promoting innovation at the enterprise level. It will also be
useful supplementary reading for scholars and students of the
theory and practice of innovation policy.
This book examines in detail the features and dynamics of sectoral
systems of innovation and production in developing countries.
Processes of rapid growth are usually associated with specific
sectors such as automobiles, electronics or software, as well as
with the transformation of traditional sectors such as agriculture
and food. The book shows, however, that the variations across all
these sectors in terms of structure and dynamics is so great that a
full understanding of these differences is necessary if innovation
is to be encouraged and growth sustained. The expert contributors
promote this understanding by drawing upon empirical evidence from
a wide range of sectoral systems, from traditional to high
technology, and across a number of countries. They explore how
these systems change and evolve, highlighting policy lessons to be
drawn from the analysis. Case studies include the Brazilian
aeronautical, pulp and paper industries, the Korean machine tool
sector, motorbike manufacture in Thailand and Vietnam,
pharmaceuticals and telecommunication equipment in India, ICT in
Taiwan, the biofuels sector in Tanzania, salmon farming in Chile
and software in Uruguay. Scholars and researchers in the fields of
economics - development economics in particular - and innovation
will find this book to be of great interest. Policymakers and
managers focussing on innovation and growth in developing countries
will also warmly welcome the book.
The conditions for successful manufacturing have changed
considerably in recent years. New technologies such as information
technology and biotechnology are considered important players in
eradicating poverty in developing countries, but the risky nature
of projects based on new technologies forces firms to raise
investment capital by means other than conventional capital
markets. This book examines the role of venture capital
institutions in financing technology-based ventures both in
developed and developing countries. It also explores that part of
venture capital activity which is hitherto vastly under-researched;
namely the ability of venture capital institutions to render a
whole host of value-added support functions. These include setting
up management teams and designing strategic plans for fledgling
enterprises. The latter issue is operationalized through a series
of carefully chosen case studies. Financial Systems, Corporate
Investment in Innovation, and Venture Capital will be a valuable
text for scholars and students of the theory and practice of
financing innovation. It will also be a valuable source for
governments, NGOs, financial institutions and multilateral agencies
interested in the practicalities of promoting technology-based
small and medium enterprises.
This book is a collection of fifteen contributions that undertake a
detailed analysis of seven broad dimensions of India's economy and
society. All the contributions approach the problems in their
respective areas empirically, while being theoretically informed.
The book begins with a section containing detailed and empirically
supported chapters on the recent crisis in India's agricultural
sector and the reforms in the agricultural markets. Another section
is dedicated to the issue of infrastructure financing, and new ways
of financing large infrastructural projects are critically
examined. Other sections are related to innovations and technology
impacts on industry; international trade; health and education;
labor and employment; and the very important issue of gender. The
selected discussion topics are both of contemporary importance and
expected to remain so for some time. Most of the chapters introduce
readers to data in addition to methods of analyzing this data, to
arrive at policy-oriented conclusions. The rich collection carries
learnings for researchers working on a wide range of topics related
to development studies, as well as for policymakers and corporate
watchers.
