{"product_id":"elusive-innovation-nebojsa-stojic-9783032148995","title":"Elusive Innovation: Promises, Failures and Policies for Emerging Innovation Systems","description":"Why do some countries build innovation systems that foster learning, experimentation, and technological progress, while others struggle to move beyond dependency and stagnation? This book examines this central question through a multidisciplinary lens, combining insights from innovation systems theory, institutional economics, development studies, and global political economy. It offers a comprehensive framework for understanding the systemic roots of innovation failure in emerging and transition economies. It shows how fragmented institutions, weak absorptive capacities, and short-term policy horizons create persistent barriers to learning and capability building and how these obstacles can be overcome through coordinated governance, strategic coherence, and adaptive policymaking. Drawing on real-world examples and comparative evidence, this book is appropriate for researchers, graduate students, and policymakers concerned with innovation, industrial policy, and economic transformation in developing and emerging economies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nebojsa Stojčic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3032148995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783032148995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Nebojsa Stoj\u0026#269;ic","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48997247222015,"sku":"9783032148995","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/elusive-innovation-nebojsa-stojic-9783032148995","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
