Book excerpt: The balance between local and foreign sources of technology is closely entwined. Likewise, foreign channels are an essential feature of fast catch-up growth. The firms would have to develop strong marketing capabilities and invest heavily in creating brand images acceptable to worldwide consumers. Similarly, they would have to create a strong research culture within their companies and considerably increase their investments in basic and applied research to generate significant new innovations. The Caribbean cases reveal the careful and strategic selection of firms that explain that the privileges granted were not wasted or abused. Indeed the privileges were cannot be the sole reason for a company locating in a particular jurisdiction, but instead need to form part of a raft of reasons which must include the ability of the host country to assimilate the technology provided. Their choices also at times reflected strategic rather than economic priorities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Limited innovation in Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries impairs the region's potential to grow and improve its living standards. Ever since the seminal research of Solow (1957), economists have known that technological change, and not only factor accumulation, is critical to growth. Yet, productivity growth in the region is lagging. The region does not invest sufficiently in innovation nor does it always use scarce resources efficiently. With the exception of Brazil, the majority of countries in LAC invest less in research and development (R&D) than other countries with similar income levels. Moreover, less than 50 percent of R&D investments are financed by private industry, which contrasts with the experience of dynamic global innovators such as China, Korea, and the United States. Public funding of research in LAC has emphasized the generation of conceptual knowledge but has been less efficient at energizing technological innovation such as the production of patents. Collaboration between industry and universities is limited, hindering the transformation of new knowledge into innovation. Universities and industry face different incentives and cultures discouraging productive research collaboration. This brief includes the following heading: developing technology transfer offices to leverage research for public benefit; strategic R&D alliances between industry and research centers; and strategic technology extension mechanisms for low technology firms.
