Title: EAMSA 2009 Paper Paper Title National Systems of Innovation in Selected Emerging Market Economies: An Examination of Actors, Interactions and Constraints
Abstract: This paper examines seven selected Emerging Market Economies (EMEs), (Peru, Chile, Ukraine, Malaysia, Thailand, Morocco and Egypt), with the overall objective of gaining an understanding into the functioning of their National Systems of Innovation (NSI). The mode of study encompasses an empirical approach utilising quantitative statistical analysis of Likert scale measurements of responses to a quantitative survey of the three principal actors in the triple helix model of NSI. Results of analysis indicate firstly, that in general NSI systems are weak and intra linkages are not particularly robust. Secondly, policy instruments to address multiple constraints are limited in fiscal and standards terms. Thirdly, regarding intra-NSI linkages factor analysis suggests that while government, higher education and business enterprise are somewhat similar, linkages for research institutes are dissimilar. One key implication is that EMEs would need to increase the scope and scale of their policy instruments in order to address the multiple constraints to innovation that they face.
