“…Scholars have also documented the role of NSI in encouraging emerging economy firms to enter global production networks and shift their focus from 'catch up' to driving new innovations (Kim 1997;Dodgson 2000;Lundvall et al 2006;Mathews 2002). In particular, Lundvall (1992) suggests that the relationships between firms operating within NSI are the primary driver for innovation.…”

This paper links the industrial policy and national systems of innovation literature to the investigation of learning capabilities of suppliers in the context of the automotive parts industry of Pakistan. Drawing data from 50 Pakistani auto parts suppliers, the findings suggest that industrial policy has been helpful in creating a local parts supply base and facilitating the entry of Japanese assemblers in the market. However, the implementation of the policy has been weak, and it is an arduous journey for the local suppliers to develop ambidextrous (exploratory and exploitative) learning capabilities. The findings also indicate that where local training and support from R&D institutions are weak, networking alone with foreign multinationals is not sufficient on its own to develop exploratory learning capabilities of local suppliers. This paper shows the importance of creating national-provincial institutions offering learning and skills development aimed towards innovation.

“…Organizations such as the OECD, the EU and the UN intensified their efforts to provide relevant statistics with which performance along these lines could be assessed. But the adoption of the innovation system approach to developing countries is a relatively recent phenomenon (Viotti 2002, Muchie et al 2003, Lundvall et al 2006) and arguably still in its infancy.…”

Is innovation important for development? And if so, how?One popular perception of innovation, that one meets in media every day, is that has to do with developing brand new, advanced solutions for sophisticated, well-off customers, through exploitation of the most recent advances in knowledge. Such innovation is normally seen as carried out by highly educated labour in R&D intensive companies, being large or small, with strong ties to leading centers of excellence in the scientific world. Hence innovation in this sense is a typical "first world" activity. There is, however, another way to look at innovation that goes significantly beyond the high-tech picture just described. In this broader perspective, innovation -the attempt to try out new or improved products, processes or ways to do things -is an aspect of most if not all economic activities. It includes not only technologically new products and processes but also improvements in areas such as logistics, distribution and marketing. The term may also be used for changes that are new to the local context, even if the contribution to the global knowledge frontier is negligible. In this broader sense, it is argued, innovation may be as relevant in the developing part of the world as elsewhere. The paper surveys the existing literature on the subject with a strong emphasis on recent evidence on the macro and -in particular -micro level.

“…There are several papers on national innovation systems (Nelson 1993) and reports on China's innovation system and innovation policy (Liu and White 2000;Lundvall et al 2006;Motohashi et al 2007;OECD 2008). For example, OECD has just published a review of Chinese innovation policy; it suggests that China needs more bottom-up decision making, giving private sectors a more important role and ensuring greater co-ordination among agencies to promote innovation (OECD 2008).…”

Indigenous innovation is the main strategy for China during 2006 -20 period. China may hope that indigenous innovation policy will spur on industrial upgrading. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the indigenous innovation policy. The paper begins with the background of the strategy, follows the detailed content of the national strategy, then analyzes how the strategy is implemented. We find that the package of indigenous innovation policy is constructive and efficient for a catch-up economy with clear industry targets but not good for innovation. If China want to be an innovative country, it needs to give market competition more space to incubate and eventually yield increment or disruptive innovation, even radical innovation. Chinese enterprises cannot close themselves off to the global technology system. Only open innovation can give Chinese enterprises the possibility to win in the next wave of innovation in the world and make China an innovative country.
