ItemInnovation systems and inequality: The experience of Brazil(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-09) Couto Soares, Maria Clara ; Cassiolato, José EduardoThe main objective of this paper is at analyzing how innovation process can contribute to improve equality in highly unequal societies, taking the example of Brazil. Using as analytical framework the Innovation System approach and the Latin American Structuralism perspective, it proposes that besides current broad recognition of science technology relevance for promoting economic development and competitiveness, it becomes imperative to advance in such debate in order to include their role for fighting inequality and promoting social inclusion.

ItemLearning, cooperation and innovation within local innovation and production systems: Evidences for the economy of Santa Catarina state of Brazil(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-09) Stallivieri, Fabio ; Cassiolato, José Eduardo ; Campos, Renato Ramos ; Britto, Jorge Nogueira de PaivaThe analysis developed aims at identifying patterns regarding the innovative dynamics of enterprises which comprise Local Innovation and Production Systems (LIPS) in the State of Santa Catarina (South of Brazil), with basis on a set of 298 interviews made with enterprises from five LIPS involving the following activities: electrical and metal-mechanical industry, in the region of Joinville; furniture and wood, in the regions West and Itaguaçu Valley; plastics industry in the southern region of the state (around Criciuma City); fishing in the estuary of Itajai River. From an evolutionary theoretical perspective, methodological procedures were adopted for building indicators that allow for identifying clusters of enterprises that share common patterns of learning, cooperation and innovation in the scope of the LIPS surveyed. The patterns of innovative effort, external learning-cooperation and innovative performance are discussed with basis on the results of cluster analysis techniques applied to groups of enterprises in the sample, which share similar characteristics regarding chosen factors. Subsequently, a model for categorizing new enterprises according to identified patterns is suggested. The analysis enabled us to identify three clusters with similar patterns regarding the characteristics of innovative performance, innovative efforts and external learning based on cooperative actions. The suggested model for classification obtained a percentage of accuracy of 96.31%. It is suggested that the innovative dynamics of each LIPS would be strongly influenced by the relative participation of the enterprises in each of these clusters.

ItemSystems of innovation for development in the knowledge era: an introduction(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004) Lastres, Helena M. M. ; Cassiolato, José Eduardo ; Maciel, Maria LuciaAt the turn of the millennium, as radical transformations affect the ways we produce, reproduce and organize our very existence, the challenges to social and economic development seem, at times, overwhelming. What is the nature of these transformations? What are the interests and forces orienting them? What are the impacts of these transformations on the productive and innovative capacities of developing countries? How can they best face these challenges? What are the policy implications? The aim of this book is to address these questions. In what has come to be known as the ‘Knowledge Era’, the economy is relying on knowledge-based activities much more than ever before. There are at least three, interrelated, main arguments for this: (i) the proportion of labour that handles tangible goods has become smaller than the proportion engaged in the production, distribution and processing of knowledge; (ii) the share of codified knowledge and information in the value of many products and services is significantly increasing; (iii) knowledge-intensive activities are rapidly growing. Obviously, information and knowledge have always been important in human history. But today’s knowledge is more and more codified and the resulting information is more and more incorporated into goods and services. The development and diffusion of a new techno-economic paradigm, centred on information and communications technologies (ICT), have accelerated and deepened both the codification of knowledge and the spread of information. The extent, the velocity and the intensity of these changes have provoked, on one hand, an unbridled and uncritical enthusiasm with the multiple possibilities apparently available to all and, on the other, considerable perplexity as to how this transition actually affects social, economic and political processes and the best ways to deal with it. As we shall see, the nature of the transformations – and, therefore, of the challenges – is not always what it seems or is said to be. The first task, then, is to explore the reality behind the myths and to understand the real processes beyond the appearances and the rhetoric.
