Handbook of Innovation Systems and Developing Countries

Edited by Bengt-Åke Lundvall, K J Joseph, Cristina Chaminade and Jan Vang

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This Handbook is the first attempt to adapt the IS approach to developing countries from a theoretical and empirical viewpoint. The Handbook brings eminent scholars in economics, innovation and development studies together with promising young researchers to review the literature and push theoretical boundaries. They critically review the IS approach and its adequacy for developing countries, discuss the relationship between IS and development, and address the question of how it should be adapted to the realities of developing nations.
