Opis

This book addresses the resurgence of the American economy and the forces driving its growth. Building on his earlier work and engaging the ideas of Michael Porter, Best argues that America has developed a new model of technology management and regional innovation based on the principle of systems integration.

Recenzje

Best's analysis is insightful, contemporary, and rightfully stresses that technology, institutions, and geography all matter in interrelated ways for innovation and the creation of competitive advantage ... The case-study comparisons are interesting and effective, closely related to the conceptual discussion.
