Routledge Innovation Systems and Capabilities in Developing Regions

In a global economy driven by knowledge, understanding innovation systems is essential for policy development. Most existing theories on innovation reflect the perspectives of developed nations, often leaving a knowledge gap regarding the specific needs and contexts of less developed countries. This gap can have significant implications for economic growth and regional development. Innovation Systems and Capabilities in Developing Regions addresses this deficit by contributing new research to the field. Published by Routledge, this book provides a necessary expansion of current knowledge by focusing on the unique dynamics of developing regions. It moves beyond Western-centric views to examine how innovation functions in different economic environments. Through a combination of theoretical frameworks and empirical case studies, this text offers a deeper look into how capabilities are built and maintained. It is an important resource for those studying international business, economics, and regional development who seek a more comprehensive understanding of global innovation trends.
