A New Approach for Analysing National Innovation Systems in Emerging and Developing Countries

Abstract

<jats:p> This paper presents a tool for the indicator-based analysis of national innovation systems (ANIS). ANIS identifies the economic strengths and weaknesses of a country-wide, regional or local system and includes a comprehensive examination and evaluation of the status of existing innovation systems. The use of a particular form of expert interviews at macro, meso and micro levels provides a detailed image of a national, regional or local economy. This analytical approach is intended mainly for emerging and developing countries, for which standard innovation benchmarking and monitoring approaches may not be appropriate. The ANIS approach provides a quick and comprehensive picture of the main scope of interventions for improving individual determinants of an innovation system. As a result, targeted policy measures can be formulated to address these determinants. Policy makers can thus benefit from clear advice when striving to overcome weaknesses in their innovation systems and in identifying those determinants that should receive special attention. An analysis of the local innovation system of Manaus in Brazil is presented here as an example. </jats:p>

“…Segundo Seidel et al (2013) com base na abordagem Analysis of National Innovation Systems (ANIS), existem 30 determinantes, agrupados em 3 níveis que influenciam os sistemas nacionais e locais de inovação. Os determinantes podem ser agrupados de acordo com uma hierarquia de três níveis.…”

Measurement of National Innovations Systems Performance Trends in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Multidimensional Study

“…The ANIS approach is grounded on the hypothesis that 30 determinants of NIS (see Figure 2.2) generally sway an innovation system. It affords an indicator-based valuation of these determinants, known to reveal the innovation system (Seidel et al, 2013). Seidel et al (2013) argued that the developing world's policymakers are searching for explanations of their innovation systems and flawless proposals for augmenting enactments, rather than seeking systematic prototypes of the innovation systems' functionality or for refined, statistically based performance indicators.…”

“…Policymakers focus more on the realistic valuation of the economic environment per reference to innovation to improve their innovation systems' performance. Seidel et al (2013) emphasized that 30 determinants fundamentally influence NIS, and each determinant reflects a trait of the innovation system. The determinants have a three-level hierarchy as follows:…”
