This review is from: Technology, Learning, and Innovation: Experiences of Newly Industrializing Economies (Paperback)
This book brings many fundamental analysis about learning and innovation processes, written by some of the most important authors, like Sanjaya Lall and David Teece . All articles bring important contributions about the relevance of technological innovation to economic growth, mainly in developing economies. Its main conclusion is that "assimilation" theories are superior to "accumulation" theories. Learning is a process firm specific and must be studied at this level.
