Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper revisits the pioneers of innovation systems in the 1980s to evaluate their perception of international forces tensioning national boundaries of those systems. The development of multinational enterprises and consequent changes in their operation beyond national borders is discussed, looking at the formation of a network of international knowledge flows. Those changes are connected to the internationalization of science and consequent formation of another network of international knowledge flows. Both networks, one firm-led and the other university-led, are pushed by the revolutions in information and communication technologies. The combination, overlapping and intertwinement of those two networks of international knowledge flows constitute a new layer in innovation systems – an emergent global innovation system. This new layer rearranges the roles of regional, sectoral and national innovation systems.

全球创新系统:关于创新系统新层次和新层次的导论

本文回顾了20世纪80年代创新体系的先驱，以评估他们对国际力量紧张这些体系的国家边界的看法。讨论了跨国企业的发展及其在跨国经营方面随之发生的变化，着眼于国际知识流动网络的形成。这些变化与科学的国际化以及随之而来的另一个国际知识流动网络的形成有关。这两个网络，一个由公司主导，另一个由大学主导，都是由信息和通信技术革命推动的。这两种国际知识流动网络的结合、重叠和交织构成了创新系统的一个新层面——新兴的全球创新系统。这一新层次重新安排了区域、部门和国家创新系统的角色。

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.
