Description
Expert case studies
This book is about national systems of technological innovation. The heart of the book consists of studies of 17 countries, including the large market-oriented industrialized countries, several smaller high-income countries, and a number of newly industrialized states. The studies have been carefully designed, developed and written to illuminate the institutions and mechanisms supporting technological innovation in the various countries, the similarities and differences across countries, and how these came to be.
Contributors: Francois Chesnais, Carl Dahlman, Charles Edquist, Claudio Frischtak, Akira Goto, Robert Gregory, Chi-Ming Hou, Jorge Katz, Otto Keck, Linsu Kim, Pengt-Ake Lundvall, Franco Malerba, Donald McFetridge, David Mowery, Nathan Rosenberg, Gee San, Morris Teubal, William Walker

Reviews / Votes
`admirable study of national innovation systems ... the book is unusually coherent in its scope and analysis. It provides a wealth of information not just about technology policies, but about the institutional and cultural factors which influence each country's industrial performance ... This book is an important contribution towards more balanced discussion of high-tech issues and more rational government policies'Financial Times `This book edited by Richard R. Nelson, is the culmination of a multi-author, multi-national project on national innovation systems and, as such is a superb achievement ... this book will become a classic study for anyone concerned with the world's scientific system. Japan is merely one of the countries under study.'
Anglo Japanese Journal The quality of the project depended on a shared understanding of the concept which nontheless did not bind the contributors in a predetermined straightjacket. It was a fine balancing act, and in my view largely successful, with Richard Nelson as editor proving particularly adept on the tightrope. * The Economic Journal *
