Chapter Chapter 3 in The Creation of Local Innovation Systems in Emerging Countries, 2015, pp 37-60 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Governments often assume a significant role in creating LISs, where their absence stems primarily from the lack of having a local entrepreneurial system. Most governments try to create a local system through enacting policies aimed at attracting foreign direct investment (FDI). Nevertheless the presence of FDIs does not automatically generate a positive effect on local economies and favour the birth of LISs. The creation of LISs depends particularly on the realization of spillovers from FDI knowledge. This chapter examines the situation of government-driven LISs, describing the different approaches that governments can adopt to favour FDI knowledge spillovers and drive development of local innovation systems. We then analyse and compare the specific cases of two government-driven LIS, in Iran and Dubai.
