Capability Building and Global Innovation Networks

Beschreibung

Despite evidence of the increasing importance of knowledge and innovation, there has been relatively little research to understand the distribution and coordination of innovation and knowledge-intensive economic activities on a global scale - and what this might mean for economic development. This book explores the emerging relationship between competence building and the structure of global innovation networks, thus providing a valuable new perspective from which to critically assess their development potential. It was originally published as a special issue of Innovation and Development.
