| |  | |  | The Theory And Practice Of Innovation Policy
An International Research Handbook
Edited by Ruud E. Smits, Utrecht University, The Netherlands, Stefan Kuhlmann, University of Twente, The Netherlands and Philip Shapira, University of Manchester, UK and Georgia Institute of Technology, US
‘This Handbook is a most helpful guide both for scholars and for experts in charge of innovation policy. It takes a systemic approach, recognising the importance of learning processes including policy learning. It documents the close interaction between analytical work on innovation and the formulation and implementation of innovation policy. The list of authors includes leading experts from Europe and the US, and the topics span from research policy and intellectual property rights to military innovation and technology assessment. The introduction and the final chapter bring together the contributions in a common framework and raise pertinent questions about the role of national innovation policy strategies in relation to globalisation and the current financial crisis.’

|  | | | | | |  | Genetic Resources And Traditional Knowledge
Case Studies and Conflicting Interests
Edited by Tania Bubela, Associate Professor, School of Public Health, University of Alberta and E. Richard Gold, James McGill Professor, Faculty of Law, McGill University, Canada
This fascinating study describes efforts to define and protect traditional knowledge and the associated issues of access to genetic resources, from the negotiation of the Convention on Biological Diversity to The Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the Nagoya Protocol. Drawing on the expertise of local specialists from around the globe, the chapters judiciously mix theory and empirical evidence to provide a deep and convincing understanding of traditional knowledge, innovation, access to genetic resources, and benefit sharing.

| | | | | | |  | Economic Development As A Learning Process
Variation Across Sectoral Systems
Edited by Franco Malerba, Professor of Applied Economics and Director, KITeS Bocconi University, Italy and Richard R. Nelson, Columbia University, US
Until recently, economists studying economic development have tended to consider it a universal process, or focussed their attention on common aspects. This book originates from the growing recognition of significant sectoral differences in economic development and examines the catching-up process in five different economic sectors: pharmaceuticals, telecommunications equipment, semiconductors, software, and agro-food industries. Each of these sector studies explore the learning and catch-up processes in various developing countries, in order to identify both the common features, and those which differ significantly across sectors and nations. The authors pay particular attention to China, India, Brazil, Korea and Taiwan.

| | | | | | |  | Innovation And Institutional Embeddedness Of Multinational Companies
Edited by Martin Heidenreich, Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, Germany
‘This wonderful volume brings together contributions mainly from the innovation literature, whose findings are in a sense quite familiar, but which in this collection are juxtaposed in such a way as to highlight their common institutional underpinnings. This is very much due to the efforts of the editor, whose insightful introduction and editorial vision brings out several interesting and emerging themes from this collection of papers. I think this volume breaks new ground in highlighting the embeddedness of MNE subsidiaries in multiple contexts, and it will be of considerable interest to scholars engaged with institutional analysis. However, I also believe that researchers interested in regional embeddedness, the geography of innovation, and knowledge management will find new angles to their work in this collected volume.’
