Epilogue. Innovation systems in developing and transition countries: what is different, what is missing and what are the implications?

Alexandra Tsvetkova, Jana Schmutzler () and Marcela Suarez

Chapter 12 in Innovation in Developing and Transition Countries, 2017, pp 236-244 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The epilogue chapter summarizes arguments presented in the book around the following research questions: (1) What are the challenges for innovation at the macro (system) and micro (firm) level according to the experiences of developing and transition countries? (2) What is the role of public policies in the transformation of national innovation systems? (3) What innovation practices successfully overcome challenges to innovation? (4) What is the role of collaboration and learning in fostering innovation? Based on the 10 case studies presented in the book, the chapter shows how national historical background and specific traits to various degrees shared by all developing and transition countries make successful innovation more difficult and how learning and collaboration help governments, firms, and other actors in the less developed part of the world to overcome these difficulties.
