Notes

  1. 1.

    Although a national innovation system is difficult to precisely define, earlier works on the Japanese and US national innovation systems (Nelson 1993) have defined them as the network of public and private institutions within an economy that fund and perform R&D, translate the results of R&D into commercial innovations and affect the diffusion of new technologies. More concretely, a national innovation system includes the public agencies that support and/or perform R&D; universities that may perform research and play an important role in the training of scientists and engineers; the firms within an economy that invest in R&D and in the application of new technologies; any public programmes intended to support technology adoption; and the array of laws and regulations that define intellectual property rights.
