Book excerpt: The private sector is playing an increasingly important role in the funding of scientific research. As public sector research declines in the countries of the north and the south, research and development carried out by the private sector becomes more important for innovations that have economic potential. In some cases networks between local firms and multinationals can support learning which leads to economic growth. What are the policies which support such partnerships and what are the institutional arrangements that foster research? Seven case studies from Argentina, China, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Tanzania, Peru, the Philippines and Vietnam examine how policies have been developed and implemented to encourage innovation.

Download or read book Informal Sector Innovations written by Mammo Muchie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well documented that the space of informal economic activity is rising across the globe. This rise has been particularly significant in the least developed and developing countries, especially after the onset of neo-liberal policies and withdrawal of welfare state. There has also been a shift in academic thinking on informal sector, with attempts being made to understand the contribution of informal sector in generating employment and economic growth rather than focusing solely on exploitative labour conditions in these economic activities. Indeed, with the retreat of welfare state and the introduction of contract labour in the formal sector, many issues related to occupational hazards and improper labour conditions do not remain unique to the informal sectors of the economy, particularly in less developed countries. This volume addresses a specific concern: the issue of knowledge generation and innovative activities, which lies at the core of sustained competitive advantage of these activities. The chapters in this book were originally published in the African Journal of Science Technology Innovation and Development.

Download or read book Extending the Protection of Geographical Indications written by Michael Blakeney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The TRIPS Agreement (for trade-related intellectual property rights) provides for the general protection of geographical indications (GIs) of product origin, including for example the special protection of wines and spirits and for the creation of a multilateral register for wines. The African Group of countries has been in the forefront of countries agitating in the World Trade Organization TRIPS Council for the extension of this special protection and of the multilateral register to industries which are of interest to developing countries, primarily agriculture. The so-called "extension question" is the central feature of the Doha Development Agenda at both the WTO and World Intellectual Property Organization. This book provides some empirical evidence and applied legal and economic reasoning to this debate. It provides both a general review of the key issues and a series of case studies from six Anglophone and four Francophone countries in Africa. These focus on major agricultural commodities such as coffee, cotton, cocoa and tea, as well as more specific and local products such as Argan oil and Oku white honey.

Download or read book Collaborative Intellectual Property Strategies for High Technology Manufacturing Small and Medium Enterprises Operating from New Zealand written by John Boikov and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High Technology Manufacturing is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the New Zealand economy and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) represent a majority employer within that sector. Therefore the growth of this sector is an economic and policy priority for the New Zealand Government. This study focuses on a specific and important aspect of New Zealand HTM SME operations, the process of knowledge management in strategic alliances. Knowledge-based assets form the basis of competitive advantage for HTM SMEs but the near zerocost nature of knowledge transferability leads to the ability of partners to acquire knowledge without having paid for it. This concept is known as the Paradox of Openness and can be managed with Intellectual Property Protection Mechanisms (IPPMs), such as patents and trade secrets. The management of the Paradox of Openness has not been investigated in the unique context of New Zealand's HTM SME strategic alliances, despite the uniqueness of this context. This gap in existing literature was addressed with a qualitative multiple case study approach suited to the novelty of context. 12 semi-structured interviews with 5 industry experts and 7 SME senior managers were conducted over the period of 3 months with associated secondary data for triangulation. Analysis of SME data through a modified form of grounded theory coding resulted in the emergence of two distinct models of IP management differentiated on market size and product complexity. Participant HTM SMEs largely confirmed existing theory while also adding the exploratory insight that the larger their target market and the more development their product required, the more likely they were to seek out a large established overseas firm to form a strategic alliance with. This would result in the loss of the lion's share of knowledge-based appropriability overseas with the large firm providing both development and commercialisation knowledge and capabilities. By adopting a knowledge-based perspective, this exploratory study has identified that the loss of New Zealandoriginated knowledge-based appropriability could contribute to New Zealand's Productivity Paradox. Therefore these findings have potential policy implications as existing literature focuses on supporting research rather than growing development and commercialisation knowledge and capabilities.

Download or read book Challenges of European External Energy Governance with Emerging Powers written by Michèle Knodt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a multipolar world with growing demand for energy, not least by Emerging Powers such as Brazil, India, China or South Africa (BICS), questions of EU external energy governance would at first hand appear to be a high-priority. Yet, reality tells a different story: the EU’s geographical focus remains on adjacent countries in the European neighbourhood and on issues related to energy security. Despite being Strategic Partners and engaging in energy dialogues, it seems that the EU is lacking strategic vision and is not perceived as a major actor in energy cooperation with the BICS. Thus, political momentum for energy cooperation and joint governance of scarce resources is vanishing. Resulting from three years of international, interdisciplinary research cooperation among academics and practitioners in Europe and the BICS countries within a project funded by the Volkswagen Foundation, this volume addresses one of the greatest global challenges. Specific focus lies on the bilateral energy dialogues and Strategic Partnerships between the EU and Emerging Powers regarding bilateral, inter- and transnational energy cooperation. Furthermore, the analysis provides policy recommendations in order to tap the full potential of energy cooperation between the EU and Brazil, India, China and South Africa.
