ItemRussia’s National System of Innovation: Strengths and Weaknesses. Studying the Business Sector of Russia’s NSI(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008) Khvatova, Tatiana ; Global Network for Economics of Learning, Innovation, and Competence Building Systems ; Sankt-Peterburgskiĭ soi︠u︡z uchenykhThe objective of our research is to analyze the peculiarities of NSI functioning in Russia, its strengths and weaknesses, and also to work out recommendations on its improvement. In order to achieve this it is important to answer the following questions: 1) What are the peculiarities of Russia’s NSI, its problems and disproportions, that originate from the Soviet period and still have an effect on Russia’s NSI? 2) What are the main subjects of Russia’s NSI, and how they interact? 3) Which organizational and economic forms increase the effectiveness of innovation processes on the federal and regional levels? 4) How are the innovation processes regulated on the municipal level? 5) How can the State initiate innovation processes? 6) How can we summarize foreign experience of NSI shaping and developing and apply it for improving Russia’s NSI? Answering each question would require separate research. Therefore, in this article we will pay more attention to the business sector of Russia’s NSI as the key element and indicator of the whole NSI effectiveness. The other issues will be given a short overview.

ItemFinancial System, Corporate Diversification and Technological Catching-up: South-Korea; an imitator to innovator(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008) Javaid, Muhammad Nadeem ; Global Network for Economics of Learning, Innovation, and Competence Building Systems ; Université de Nice-Sophia AntipolisSchumpeter emphasized ( 1943) that those who are starting “new things”, or innovating need to be provided with “profits for above what are necessary in order to introduce the corresponding investment” He argued that entrepreneurial profits (or quasi-rents) may some time be provided by the difficulty of imitating the new technology (or organization), but sometimes would have to be secured through “restraints of trade” like cartel arrangements. The thrust of Schumpeter’s argument is then that entry barriers of one form or another are necessary to provide incentives for innovation because it means doing “new thins”. While, Chang H. J. (1993) is of this opinion that establishing an industry in a developing country may not involve doing anything “new” from a global point of view, but poses a similar incentive problem, because it still is a “new thing” for that nation. Therefore this study probes Korean industrial Strategy from a Distinct angle of financial system and financial sector policies as an imperative determinant of technological catching-up.

ItemAre KIBS more than intermediate inputs? An examination into their R&D diffuser role in Europe(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008) Rodriguez, Mercedes ; Global Network for Economics of Learning, Innovation, and Competence Building Systems ; Universidad de GranadaIt is widely accepted that knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) are key agents in knowledge diffusion. Thanks in part to information technologies, an increasing internationalisation process has been taking place in this type of services in recent years. Starting from these two facts, the objective of this paper is to evaluate and compare the R&D diffuser role of a group of KIBS, those called high-tech services, both within domestic economies and among countries. To do so an input-output model that estimates the domestic and the imported product-embodied R&D diffused by intermediate consumptions of high-tech services is applied in eleven European countries. The results obtained point out the existence of a potential “compensatory” role of imported high-tech services in some countries, a role that deserves further study.

ItemGoing against the grain: the dematurity of the European textile industry(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008) Noor, Fianti ; Peters, Stuart ; Stingelin, Natalie ; Smith, Paul ; Global Network for Economics of Learning, Innovation, and Competence Building Systems ; University of London. Queen Mary. School of Engineering and Materials Science ; Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule ZürichThe paper investigates the process of transition of the European textile industry away from being a mature industry towards a more knowledge-based one. The European industry has fallen into what Abernathy (1978, 1983) termed the 'maturity trap' due to a number of different factors; firm inertia, the fragmentation of markets, increasing competition and regional and national business cultures. However, the findings also suggest that a number of companies have successfully circumvented maturity-trap and indeed shifted their capabilities from mature businesses to ferment phase. There is now a concerted effort at the EU and national level to rescue the European industry from the maturity trap based on innovation and entrepreneurial management at the level of the firm.
