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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2006-01-04\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780387297743\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/0-387-29775-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 156\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50092062900364,"sku":"9780387297743","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780387297743.jpg?v=1779511101","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780387297743","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
