State Policies and Techno-Industrial Innovation

State Policies and Techno-Industrial Innovation

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

Behind the rhetoric of "intervention" and "deregulation" which has accompanied state attempts to stimulate technological innovation in the last decade lies a story of failed ambitions, confusion, and incoherence. State Policies and Techno-Industrial Innovation provides a comparative analysis of techno-industrial innovation in Europe, Japan, and the United States. The book provides case studies on topics ranging from the semi-conductor to the biotechnology industries. The contributors present a comprehensive and detailed survey of national strategies for the internal and world markets and set them in their political context, where "the costs may be high and the pay-offs uncertain."
