Fostering Innovation: Technological Innovation in Urban Clusters

Chapter Chapter 6 in Can Latin America Compete?, 2008, pp 121-141 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Continuous innovation of new products, processes, and services creates competitiveness, profits, and employment, and encourages socioeconomic development. While this is well known to managers, regulators, and researchers in developed countries, such is not the case in most of Latin America, as reflected by investment levels, policies, and practices. Interest in innovation, the knowledge of how to manage it, and support for it are all generally low to nonexistent.
