Routledge Innovation Systems in Developing Regions - Routledge

Innovation Systems and Capabilities in Developing Regions by Routledge addresses the critical knowledge gap in how innovation functions across less developed economies. This comprehensive volume combines theoretical frameworks with empirical case studies to explore innovation policy, systems, and capabilities in the Global South, moving beyond the developed-country perspectives that have traditionally dominated innovation literature. The book examines how knowledge creation and technological advancement operate in contexts with distinct economic, institutional, and social structures, offering policymakers, researchers, and development professionals practical insights into building effective innovation ecosystems. Essential reading for understanding economic development through the lens of innovation strategy and regional capability building.
