Concluding note: The election to end all coups?. 330 $aThe September 2014 elections in Fiji was one of the most anticipated in the history of the country, coming after eight years of military rule and under a radically new constitution that introduced a system of proportional representative (PR) and without any reserved communal seats. The election was won overwhelmingly by FijiFirst, a party formed by 2006 coup leader Frank Bainimarama. He subsequently embarked on a process of shifting the political configuration of Fijian politics from inter-ethnic to trans-ethnic mobilisation. The shift has not been easy in terms of changing people's perceptions and may face some challenges in the longer term, despite Bainimarama's clear victory in the polls. Ethnic consciousness has the capacity to become re-articulated in different forms and to seek new opportunities for expression. This book explores these and other issues surrounding the 2014 Fiji elections in a collection of articles written from varied political, intellectual and ideological positions. 410 0$aPacific series. 606 $aElections$zFiji 606 $aElection law$zFiji 607 $aFiji$xEthnic relations$xPolitical aspects 607 $aFiji$xPolitics and government 610 $aconstitutional reform 610 $apolitics 610 $anational election 610 $afiji 610 $aFijians 610 $aFijiFirst 610 $aFrank Bainimarama 610 $aIndo-Fijians 610 $aPacific Islands Forum 610 $aSocial Democratic Liberal Party 615 0$aElections 615 0$aElection law 676 $a324.99611 700 $aRatuva$b Steven$4auth$0802390 702 $aRatuva$b Steven 702 $aLawson$b Stephanie 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bAuAdUSA 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910133792903321 996 $aThe people have spoken$93383967 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04432nam 22007335 450 001 9910298504503321 005 20200920024542.0 010 $a3-319-09973-6 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-09973-6 035 $a(CKB)3710000000269516 035 $a(EBL)1965251 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001372215 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11802159 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001372215 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11302386 035 $a(PQKB)10909385 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-09973-6 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1965251 035 $a(PPN)182094103 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000269516 100 $a20141028d2015 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aLow-tech Innovation $eCompetitiveness of the German Manufacturing Sector /$fedited by Oliver Som, Eva Kirner 205 $a1st ed. 2015. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2015. 215 $a1 online resource (230 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a3-319-09972-8 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters. 327 $aIntroduction -- Innovation in Low-Tech Industries: Current Conditions and Future Prospects -- Economic Relevance and the Future Potential of Non-R&D-Intensive Industries -- Patent Activities in Non-R&D-Intensive Technology Areas -- The Development of Qualification and Employment Structures in Non-R&D-Intensive Industry Sectors - The Case of Germany -- The Market Environment and Competitive Factors of Non-R&D-Performing and Non-R&D-Intensive Firms -- Innovation Strategies and Patterns of Non-R&D-Performing and Non-R&D-Intensive Firms -- Non-R&D-Intensive Firms' Innovation Sourcing -- The Absorptive Capacity of Non-R&D-Intensive Firms -- Managing Innovation in Non-R&D-Intensive Firms -- Policy Implications and Future Challenges -- The Economic Relevance, Competitiveness, and Innovation Ability of Non-R&D-Performing and Non-R&D-Intensive Firms: Summary of the Empirical Evidence and Further Outlook. 330 $aThis book highlights the economic relevance of the so-called low-tech industries and firms. Non R&D intensive firms continue to be the economic backbone of several developed industrial countries. They form the core of National Innovation Systems and contribute significantly to growth and employment. However, due to their lack of R&D activity, they are easily overlooked in the general innovation debate. This book provides latest empirical findings on the current economic relevance and specific innovation strategies and management of non-R&D intensive firms in Germany. It discusses their future role in a knowledge driven economy as well as possible implications for innovation and technology policy. An outcome of several years of dedicated research conducted at the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research (ISI), this book will prove of immense value to researchers and policy makers dealing with innovation and knowledge strategy. 606 $aManagement 606 $aIndustrial management 606 $aLeadership 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aEntrepreneurship 606 $aInnovation/Technology Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/518000 606 $aBusiness Strategy/Leadership$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/515010 606 $aR & D/Technology Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W43000 606 $aEntrepreneurship$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/514000 615 0$aManagement. 615 0$aIndustrial management. 615 0$aLeadership. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aEntrepreneurship. 615 14$aInnovation/Technology Management. 615 24$aBusiness Strategy/Leadership. 615 24$aR & D/Technology Policy. 615 24$aEntrepreneurship. 676 $a330 676 $a338926 676 $a658.4092 676 $a658421 676 $a658514 702 $aSom$b Oliver$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKirner$b Eva$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298504503321 996 $aLow-tech Innovation$92519406 997 $aUNINA
