Public/Private Partnerships : Innovation Strategies and Policy Alternatives Paperback / softback
by Albert N. Link
Paperback / softback
Description
Research and development (R and D) leads to innovation, and innovation leads to technological change.
Technological change, in turn, is the primary driver of economic growth.
Public/private partnerships -- cooperative relationships among industry, government, and/or universities -- leverage the efficiency of R and D and are thus a critical aspect of a nation’s innovation system. This text is intended for upper-level undergraduate and MBA courses such as Economics and Technology, Economics of Innovation, and Economics of Science and Technology, among others.
The first chapter introduces the concept of public/private research partnerships along with other concepts fundamental to an understanding of innovation and technology policy.
The framework chapters (2-5) set forth an argument for the public’s role – government’s role – in innovation in general and in public/private partnership in particular.
The remaining chapters (6-14) describe a number of public/private partnerships and, to the extent possible, evaluate their social impact.
