Conclusion. 330 $a"The most popularised concept in the economics of innovation literature has been the national system of innovation (NSI). It was in the late 1980's that the concept that Frederik List coined as the 'National Political Economy of Production' took off again with different thinkers writing about the peculiarities and distinctions of the Japanese, American, British, German, East Asian Tigers and other varieties of system construction. Freeman defines National System of Innovation as 'the network of institutions in the public and private sectors whose activities and interactions initiate, import, modify and diff use new technologies.' Richard Nelson defines it as 'a set of institutions whose interactions determine the innovative performance of national firms. Lundvall defines the system of innovation as the 'elements and relationships which interact in the production, diffusion and use of new and economically useful knowledge and are either located within or rooted inside the borders of a nation state.' The normative assumption is that those nations that succeeded in building economic strength relied on the science, engineering, technology and innovation capability that made them to achieve an innovation advantage to put them ahead in the world, acquiring national or regional economic leadership as the case may be depending on what level of analyses is selected to look at particular failure, success or progress they made"--Page 4 of cover. 410 0$aUPCC book collections on Project Muse. 606 $aEconomic development$zAfrica 606 $aDeveloping countries 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEconomic development 615 0$aDeveloping countries. 676 $a338.064 701 $aBaskaran$b Angathevar$0861348 701 $aMuchie$b Mammo$0861349 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462879603321 996 $aCreating systems of innovation in Africa$92138473 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01058nam0 22002651i 450 001 UON00398321 005 20231205104645.195 100 $a20111011d1845 |0itac50 ba 101 $ager$aBAT 102 $aDE 105 $a|||| 1|||| 200 1 $aˆDie ‰Sprache der alten Preußen$eAn ihren Ueberresten erläutert$fvon G.
