This article explores a single RIS in Trentino in Italy. The case shows that the roles of three actors (i.e., the provincial government, academia/research centers, and firms) are vital in creating the RIS, and that the provincial-level government policy is important in supporting the innovation activities of regional research institutions and firms aimed at developing their international connections. The public-private research collaboration and international connections of these actors are the key determinants of the development of an advanced RIS, but have largely been ignored in the extant RIS literature. This article extends the existing RIS and Triple Helix research to an international dimension, highlighting the complementary role of international connections within the RIS, thus reflecting a shift toward Quadruple Helix.","PeriodicalId":186347,"journal":{"name":"IRPN: Innovation Systems (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129033502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Defining product upgrading as a movement towards more sophisticated products, we use Haussmann’s product sophistication index to calculate a sales-weighted average sophistication level of Indian manufacturing firms in the period 2000/01-2014/15. The first section of the paper empirically investigates whether GVC firms produce more sophisticated goods than non-GVC firms. In the next section, we take the sub-sample of GVC firms to analyse the impact of depth of GVC integration on firm-level sophistication. Lastly, the study draws on Gereffi’s (2005)) governance framework and quantifies different types of governance structures to analyse how power asymmetries can impact the sophistication levels of developing country supplier firms. The study finds that the on average, Indian firms participating in GVCs produce more sophisticated goods than non-GVC firms, and increasing GVC integration significantly and positively impacts firm level sophistication. These results lend empirical support to the learning by importing and exporting hypothesis. However, our results also show that firms that link into Captive global value chains produce significantly less sophisticated goods than firms linking into Relational chains.","PeriodicalId":186347,"journal":{"name":"IRPN: Innovation Systems (Topic)","volume":"184 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123521488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Zhai","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.3047895","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.3047895","url":null,"abstract":"The withdrawal of the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) in early 2017 led the remaining 11 countries in that trade and investment agreement to explore alternative ways to sustain economic integration in the Asia-Pacific region. This Working Paper shows that, without the United States, these 11 countries can achieve significant gains from high-quality, TPP-like agreements among themselves and from what might have to be a less rigorous but wider agreement in a separate, 16-member Asian trade negotiation, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). Either of these multilateral options would yield benefits greater than those that would flow from bilateral agreements between individual countries and the United States alone, and gains from such accords could grow over time. For example, expanding the TPP without the United States to five other Asia- Pacific economies, all of which have expressed interest in the TPP in the past, would yield global income gains that rival those expected from the original TPP that included the United States, and the gains are even larger for some members. The United States, meanwhile, would suffer losses from such arrangements in two ways: first, because it would forego the benefits that would otherwise accrue from the relatively large TPP agreement, and second, because the new Asia-Pacific agreements would reduce US exports to the region as countries shift their trade to competitors of the United States. In the longer run, a new Asia-Pacific agreement or agreements would keep trade liberalization on the global agenda and likely attract further interest from large partners, including Europe. Eventually, the United States might observe that it is losing out and change its mind about joining these larger trade blocs.","PeriodicalId":186347,"journal":{"name":"IRPN: Innovation Systems (Topic)","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116646823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A partir da presente pesquisa, pretende-se verificar a validade da seguinte hipótese: a regulamentação atual brasileira é insuficiente para qualificar juridicamente as relações da economia compartilhada. Essa dificuldade de qualificação intensifica a atual ausência de respostas legais para uma série de problemas, como a definição de obrigações e responsabilidades dos peers e das plataformas digitais.

The purpose of the study is the investigation of citizen satisfaction level of municipal services through the use of municipal awareness. The Material and methods were carried out using secondary data and were meticulously and critically analysed to come up with reliable results. The study shows the relevance of the public awareness, citizen satisfaction and municipal council performance in Malaysia. It is evidence in the research that citizen consent is important before municipal services should be provided in the local community. The research study highlighted many discrepancies in many kinds of literature related to the existing research study, evidence-based analysis were carried out to buttress importance and significance of the related study to the research work. The literature was reviewed to ascertain the current happening in the area of municipal council service delivery. The study shows that many municipal councils in Malaysia provide adequate and satisfactory services to their citizens’. The results of the study also revealed that municipal awareness plays an important role on citizen satisfactions of municipal service delivery. It is also evident that adequate provision of services has direct bearing with municipal councils. The study concludes that municipal service delivery can be enhanced through citizen awareness campaign, to sensitise the local community on various aspects of service delivery including maintenance of the facilities provided. The study also concludes that local Authorities lack of awareness section affects their performance in service delivery process. The study recommends that municipal councils need to consults the citizen for their needs and wants; awareness campaign needs to be regularly carried out to maintain cordial relationship between local Authorities and their citizen; it is also recommended that municipal services should be delivered the needed services by the local inhabitants’ after duly consultation.","PeriodicalId":186347,"journal":{"name":"IRPN: Innovation Systems (Topic)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132977285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, evidences from emerging markets have shown that industrial entry barriers are widely persist, and sometimes insurmountable for latecomers as they are often restrained by limited resources basis especially technological resource foundations. This study proposes market-based innovation paradigm and trajectories as a complementary approach to the technological dimension of trajectory theories. Illustrative cases of Chinese firms’ industrial entry and development show how latecomers can exploit a market trajectory perspective to continuously create value for the evolutionary consumer preferences, and gain competitiveness. Besides managerial implications for latecomer firms’ innovation and catching-up, this study also contributes to and bridges theories and literature such as trajectory, disruptive innovation, innovation ecosystem and reverse innovation.","PeriodicalId":186347,"journal":{"name":"IRPN: Innovation Systems (Topic)","volume":"192 3-4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120981126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This systematic view has become a popular research theme all around the world at present. Freeman (1987) and Nelson (1993) are important contributors to the perspective of National Innovation System (NIS). The concept is mainly focused on the inter-relationship and inter-dependencies among the major actors of NIS. The S&T Research Institutions, the Universities and the Firms representing industries are considered as the main three contributors of NIS. The inter-relationships and interactions among those actors are crucial for triggering innovation towards the socio-economic development of a country as a whole. This study aims to identify the role of Universities of Sri Lanka in NIS, to determine the existence of networking relationships with other main actors of NIS, to identify problems encountered by the University sector in terms of their presence or absence in NIS and to suggest required policy implications needed for strengthening the university sector as an effective player in NIS of Sri Lanka. The survey methodology was employed in the study and the entire population was to collect the data from the university sector mainly representing deans of the faculties and heads of the departments. Data was collected through a self-designed questionnaire after testing its reliability and ensuring validity. Supplementary to the survey and in-depth interviews were conducted with seven vice-chancellors to collect qualitative data and justify findings of the survey. 104 survey questionnaires were successfully collected from the whole population. Social Network Analysis (SNA) was employed to determine the strength of the networking relationship among the Universities, the S&T Research Institutions, and the Firms representing industries. Further, collected data were presented through descriptive and summary statistics. Qualitative data collected through interviews were analyzed through content analysis to draw a conclusion. The study revealed that there is a positive trend in the higher education sector towards performing an effective role in the future though there are minimum innovative activities and performance recorded at present.
