Juan Carlos Mondragón Quintana: Innovation Systems from Below, Gebunden

Klappentext

Innovation systems research has long examined how markets and institutions shape innovation across different contexts. Yet this 'top-down' lens often overlooks the view from within: the firms and support organisations whose everyday strategies drive change. This book places these actors and their agency at the centre . Drawing on in-depth case studies of multinational enterprises and technology parks in Mexico and Brazil , it reveals how efforts to build capabilities, forge linkages, and adapt to constraints transform the wider system. Tracing the path from individual action to systemic change , it offers a fresh framework for understanding innovation in developing and middle-income contexts and beyond. Blending theory with grounded evidence, it provides clear insights for students, researchers, and practitioners in innovation management and policy.
