Описание: Drawing on field-based data and experiences from the practice of democratic decentralization and local governance over the last three decades in Ghana, this book examines whether and how democratic decentralization and local governance reforms in developing countries have produced the anticipated development outcomes. In seventeen related contributions, the authors present four relevant focal themes, including conceptual and historical trajectories of decentralization and local governance; institutional choice, democratic representation, and poverty reduction; local governance, resource capacity, and service delivery; and non-state actors, local governance and sustainable development. The book blends perspectives of scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers to provide a holistic analysis of linkages between decentralization, local governance, and sustainable development efforts, presenting a novel and useful guide for science, policy, and practice of bottom-up governance and development. It provides relevant lessons and experiences for scholars, policy-makers, and development practitioners in Africa in particular and developing countries in general.
Описание: This book provides a developing country perspective on the internationalization of science and the role of Science, Technology and Innovation Diplomacy (STID) in leveraging scientific cooperation for sustainable development. In articles by individuals from government departments and academic & research institutions in nine developing countries, it provides a conceptual understanding of the subject and reveals the prevailing perceptions on its praxis/practices. The articles highlight the significance of international cooperation at bilateral, regional and multilateral levels and the need for strengthening the role of STID in foreign policy and strategies of governments. The book is a useful reference material to government officials, diplomats,academicians, researchers, science counsellors, international relations experts, science and technology professionals and other stakeholders from the developing countries and transition economies, dealing with economic and developmental policy issues and/or science, technology and innovation (STI) issues in understanding the praxis and prospects of STID. The book is also useful for scholars and international relations experts from developed countries in understanding STI and related issues that affect the relationship of developing countries and transition economies with their partners from the developed world.

Описание: The main focus of this book is innovation for developing countries: what is the innovation for, what are the current conditions of the innovation, and how to effectively innovate in developing economies. It contains the latest insights and analyses of innovation based on intensive interviews as well as primary and secondary data of manufacturing firms in developing countries, Vietnam and Laos in particular. Innovation requires something new. Integration of deep understanding of innovation and econometric analyses are a “new combination” in this book, which contrasts with other, similar books in the field. This new approach may benefit policy makers as well as scholars and firms in poor countries. The main points of the book are summarized as follows: First, for most poor countries “learning innovation” is considered the key to economic growth rather than “leading-edge innovation”, which is a more popular theme in similar books on innovation. Second, an overwhelming majority of innovations currently used in poor countries are developed in advanced countries, so technology transfer and learning from the latter are a fundamental source of innovation in the former. Third, a surprisingly high rate of firms (around 50%) reported that they introduced new or significantly improved products or processes in poor countries, and this high innovation rate is a great benefit to be enhanced by government policies. Fourth, the common factors driving innovation of manufacturing firms in Vietnam and Laos are (1) human capital, (2) social capital, and (3) innovation in the past. Fifth, the impact of innovation on firm performance is found to be mixed in these countries. Sixth, so far almost all studies on innovation have focused on product or process innovation, but additional light is shed here on organizational innovation.
Описание: This book applies theory and empirical analysis to the dynamics of innovation in developing countries, developing a Competitive Position Model focused on incremental and adaptive innovations. Particular emphasis is placed on R & D in manufacturing firms.
Описание: In current times, innovation has gained tremendous interest as a strategic tool for business. For many industries innovation in business includes either digital or bio-tech. However, across most industries innovation covers both finance, and labor, and is a crucial towards achieving overall performance, although there is currently no formal innovation strategy. In this book, the topic of innovation in the corporate environment is taken into consideration and is placed into the category of a technology lifecycle version to better understand the innovation process. This book explores some commonplace versions of innovation, techniques for innovation, and evaluates genericized business methodologies of technology, providing a listing of possible study areas. Growing international demand for innovation in business activities, is intended to grow and provide international financial competitiveness, inclusively as an impact of cognizance regarding the results of economic growth on intake of resources and environment, which calls for layout of new styles of manufacturing and consumption. This book critiques the contributions of technology in modern day society and business.
Описание: In the process of implementing export-led growth, industrial parks located in various regions in China have become very vital players, among which Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) has now developed as a leading and model industrial park in China, since its inauguration in 1994 as a result of the governmental collaboration between China and Singapore.
Описание: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused extraordinary disruptions in societies, companies, and nations across the globe. In response to this global devastation, companies need to develop business and management practices to answer new and emerging challenges and speed the recovery of economies, the creation of new jobs and prosperity, and achieve sustainable growth. The transition to digital and greener economies offers important challenges and opportunities for people, companies, cities, and governments.
The Handbook of Research on Developing Circular, Digital, and Green Economies in Asia explores new and emerging business and management practices to support companies and economies in the digital transformation in Asia with special emphasis on success and failure experiences. This book will analyze the role of digital skills and competences, green issues, and technological disruptors in these emerging practices in Asia and how they can contribute to the creation of new business opportunities, more jobs, and growth for the recovery of Asian economies after the pandemic. Covering topics including consumption values, psychological capital, and tourist culture, this book is essential for academicians, economists, managers, students, politicians, policymakers, corporate heads of firms, senior general managers, managing directors, information technology directors and managers, libraries, and researchers.

The biomedical industry, which includes biopharmaceuticals, genomics and stem cell therapies, and medical devices, is among the fastest growing worldwide. While it has been an economic development target of many national governments, Asia is currently on track to reach the epicenter of this growth. What accounts for the rapid and sustained economic growth of biomedicals in Asia?
To answer this question, Kathryn Ibata-Arens integrates global and national data with original fieldwork to present a conceptual framework that considers how national governments have managed key factors, like innovative capacity, government policy, and firm-level strategies. Taking China, India, Japan, and Singapore in turn, she compares each country's underlying competitive advantages. What emerges is an argument that countries pursuing networked technonationalism (NTN) effectively upgrade their capacity for innovation and encourage entrepreneurial activity in targeted industries. In contrast to countries that engage in classic technonationalism--like Japan's developmental state approach--networked technonationalists are global minded to outside markets, while remaining nationalistic within the domestic economy.
By bringing together aggregate data at the global and national level with original fieldwork and drawing on rich cases, Ibata-Arens telegraphs implications for innovation policy and entrepreneurship strategy in Asia--and beyond.
