Innovation in the Asia Pacific (eBook, PDF)

From Manufacturing to the Knowledge Economy

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book promotes the creation of advanced knowledge-based economies driven by innovation networks and the continuous development of human capital and capability. It provides valuable insights into the growing emergence of knowledge-based industries of the Asia Pacific, and highlights research on: modes of creativity and innovation; intellectual property; the components of national innovation systems such as firms, education and training; knowledge and technical infrastructure; and public policy.

The Asia Pacific region is currently in the process of transforming from being the manufacturing centre of the global economy to a centre of innovation for the knowledge economy, with the successful IPO of Alibaba in 2014 being a prime example of this shift. From a neo-Schumpeterian perspective, the region is increasingly engaged in shortening and intensifying cycles of innovation. The historic agreement at the Beijing APEC meeting between China and the US to radically reduce carbonemissions indicates that one imperative of this innovation is to contribute to sustainability. The fact that the US Government is moving away from this historic commitment, while the Chinese Government is endorsing the commitment, indicates an emerging opportunity for Asia to lead the world technologically in a vital industrial sector of the future.

Rezensionen

"This volume describes and analyzes the dense and dynamic patterns of research and development (R&D), innovation, and production in the Asia Pacific region, which is on the cusp of becoming the dominant region for the development of many of the world's leading-edge technologies and designs. ... The authors are to be congratulated for collecting these varied and interesting papers that can inform decision makers in governments and firms across the large number of countries aspiring to develop into knowledge-based developed economies."
