Chapter Chapter 2 in The Creation of Local Innovation Systems in Emerging Countries, 2015, pp 7-36 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Rather than being a spontaneous phenomenon, the creation of local innovation systems (LISs) in emerging nations typically involves a process driven by an individual actor. The actions of some lead organisation bring about the involvement of other ones, with mechanisms of linkage between them. Empirical evidence shows different types of lead actors, including cases of LIS formation driven by governments, by firms, and by universities or research centres.
