Abstract

ABSTRACT This essay provides a personal account on how my research endeavour drew upon Freeman’s seminal ideas regarding four aspects, namely, the broad sense of the national system of innovation (NSI) concept, the definition of innovation as an interactive learning process, the relevance of the science and education subsystems, and the importance of international flows of people, knowledge and technology. Altogether, these ideas supported my building of a conceptual framework to study barriers to university-industry linkages and international partnerships in the context of centres of excellence in Latin American countries (LAC). Freeman’s ideas meant a wake-call for understanding innovation in different contexts and an opportunity to build tailored conceptual frameworks that can be applied to LAC.

克里斯·弗里曼对创新和创新系统的理解给我们敲响了警钟:拉丁美洲面临的挑战

本文从四个方面阐述了我的研究工作是如何借鉴弗里曼的开创性思想的，即广义的国家创新系统(NSI)概念、将创新定义为一个互动学习过程、科学和教育子系统的相关性以及人员、知识和技术的国际流动的重要性。总之，这些想法支持我建立一个概念性框架，以研究拉丁美洲国家卓越中心背景下大学-产业联系和国际伙伴关系的障碍。Freeman的想法为理解不同背景下的创新敲响了警钟，并为构建可应用于LAC的量身定制的概念框架提供了机会。

期刊介绍： conomic development and growth depend as much on social innovations as on technological advances. However, the discourse has often been confined to technological innovations in the industrial sector, with insufficient attention being paid to institutional and organisational change and to the informal sector which in some countries in the South plays a significant role. Innovation and Development is an interdisciplinary journal that adopts a broad approach to the study of innovation, in all sectors of the economy and sections of society, furthering understanding of the multidimensional process of innovation and development. It provides a forum for the discussion of issues pertaining to innovation, development and their interaction, both in the developed and developing world, with the aim of encouraging sustainable and inclusive growth. The journal encourages articles that approach the problem broadly in line with innovation system perspective focusing on the evolutionary and institutional structure of innovation and development. This focus cuts across the disciplines of Economics, Sociology, Political Science, Science and Technology Policy, Geography and Development Practice. In a section entitled Innovation in Practice, the journal includes short reports on innovative experiments with proven development impact with a view to encouraging scholars to undertake systematic inquiries on such experiments. Brief abstracts of degree awarded PhD theses in the broad area of concern for the journal and brief notes which highlight innovative ways of using internet resources and new databases or software are also published.
