The specific topics covered include: the role of  TI in economic growth and development; the nature and definition of  TI; TI-components; the relationships between TI and markets; salient  features of TIP. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eTechnological Infrastructure Policy\u003c\/em\u003e reflects the distinction  made between basic and advanced TI. Basic TI involves the collective  absorption of foreign technology for subsequent diffusion to domestic  firms. Several chapters explicitly deal with this process with an  emphasis on the supply of advisory services to small and medium  enterprises. Advanced TI involves precompetitive, cooperation research  and development in cutting edge technologies undertaken by consortia  of firms. Several examples of advanced TIP are given. The novel  integration of various conceptual and practical aspects of TI and TIP  is the strong point of this book.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789048146499\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048146499\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8739-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 374\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358909395084,"sku":"9789048146499","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048146499.jpg?v=1755096685","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789048146499","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
