Abstract
Some European countries have benefited from programs involving the creation of alliances of techno-socio-economic networks. In developing countries, their competitiveness based on industrial clusters are non-existent because of their poor regional enabling conditions required for assembling complex organisational interactions. To help alleviate this situation, a 'wealth creation based on innovation and enabling technologies' model (WIT) was developed. Within this framework, the economic growth is articulated by a systemic enabling environment, capable of supporting network economies, industrial ecosystems and regional innovation systems, with a purpose: to transform regions with scarce resources, hostile conditions and poor associativity into poles of regional attractiveness and competitive clusters of companies capable of producing high economic value strongly inter-related with the social and environmental capital in their communities. A more recently version of the WIT model, was developed, which adds sustainable wealth creation, called SWIT, which articulates all the stakeholders of the biosphere system of capitals.
期刊介绍:
The IJTG provides a refereed and authoritative source of analysis on the interactions between technological innovation and globalisation. It serves as an international forum for exchange of ideas and views on the global implications of technology for economic growth, sustainable development and international security. IJTG aims to promote communication among policy makers, experts and professionals in government, industry, academia and civil society. IJTG is co-sponsored by the Science, Technology and Globalisation Project at Harvard University"s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and the Science, Technology and Innovation Program, housed in Harvard University"s Center for International Development.
