Processes of learning and innovative capability accumulation are key issues that help explain the success or failure of technological and economic progress of countries throughout history. IJTLID is a multi-disciplinary and international journal devoted to the study of the nature of technological innovation processes, at the level of firms, industries/clusters, and countries, the various influences on such processes as well as their implications for industrial growth, techno-economic and social development in the context of contemporary late-industrialising countries.
Innovation is studied from a comprehensive perspective to encompass imitation, assimilation, experimentation, continuous improvement and research-based activities on the basis of their technical, organisational/managerial and institutional dimensions. This broad approach to the study of innovation will help uncover the dynamics and intricacies of the processes of accumulation and sustainability of innovative capabilities in developing countries. The themes will be explored within a broad spectrum of economic activities including sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture and a wide range of service activities, from health care systems to banking and their varied intersections.
 Objectives
The main objective of IJTLID is to bridge the communication gap between government policymakers, corporate executives, development agencies and investors on the one hand, and scholars/academics and research institutions concerned with the impact of technological progress on industrial, economic, and social development in latecomer economies. By providing explanations as to reasons for past and current successful or otherwise experiences of learning, innovation and development as well as offering policy analysis and recommendations for corporate and government entities, IJTLID seeks to contribute towards influencing the direction of change in the innovation and economic development processes in late-industrialising countries. The ultimate goal is that IJTLID serves as a vehicle for policy discussions and recommendations that can significantly impact future corporate and government actions oriented to technological innovation in developing nations. Readership
IJTLID targets two groups as its main readership community. The first is the academic community, i.e. scholars and students of research and academic institutions as well as those members of society in general with an interest in issues of technology, innovation and development in the context of late-industrialising economies. IJTLID also targets those involved with the resource allocation in this field including corporate executives, senior management of development agencies, government decision makers, politicians, and investors from developing, transition, as well as industrialised economies. Contents
IJTLID will publish analytical articles based on original research, both empirically and theoretically oriented, research notes, book reviews and commentaries. Comparative and dynamic analyses will especially be welcome. Special editions devoted to specific themes covered by the journal will also be published occasionally. Subject Coverage
Topics suitable for IJTLID cover a wide range of issues related to technological learning, innovation and development in the context of late industrialisation, including but not limited to:
- Technological learning processes and innovation at the level of firms within and across industrial sectors and countries:
- Patterns and rate of technological capability accumulation and their implications for techno-economic performance
- Nature of learning processes underlying firms’ capability accumulation paths
- The role of leadership, corporate behaviour, and intra-firm institutions in influencing firms’ technological learning
- Learning and innovation capability building in firms and industries that have caught up with the innovation frontier and/or have overtaken early innovators to achieve leading positions at the world innovation frontier
- Firm-level development of capabilities that are non-technological (e.g. marketing, finance) and their interactions with technological capabilities
- Technological learning and innovation at the level of sector/cluster innovation systems and implications for innovative and techno-economic performance and technological catch up:
- Emergence and trajectories of sector/cluster innovation systems
- Nature of learning and knowledge flows within components of sector/cluster innovation systems and their implications for innovative performance
- Knowledge-centred interactions between firms and sector/cluster innovation system supporting organisations (e.g. universities, research institutes, laboratories and technical schools)
- Role of institutional, political and organisational factors in influencing the trajectories of sector/cluster innovation systems and their underpinning learning processes
- Technological learning and innovation strategies within MNE-subsidiaries operating in developing countries
- Technological learning and innovation strategies within local, regional and global value chains
- National and regional innovation systems: nature, trajectories and role of institutions and industrial governance in influencing their emergence, evolution, and their implications for technological catch up and economic progress
- Changes in industrial policy regimes (macro-economic, sectoral) and their interactions with changes in technological learning and innovation strategies at the level of firms and sector/clusters
- Process of globalisation of innovation within the context of developing countries:
- Multiple global knowledge flows and implications for technological catch-up
- The role of FDI and MNEs in developing local technology-creating capabilities (e.g. spill-overs and local innovative SMEs suppliers)
- The world-wide mobility of 'brains' and its implications for innovative capability building in developing countries
- Processes of learning and innovation capability building in MNEs from emerging economies
- New technologies and emerging technological trajectories:
- 'Windows of opportunity' to establish a new technological frontier by developing countries
- The nature of learning related to emerging technological trajectories at the level of firms and sector/cluster innovation systems
- Institutional frameworks supporting learning and innovation strategies to develop new/alternative technologies
- Indicators of technology and innovation in developing countries
- Intellectual property rights and innovation in developing countries
- Institutional frameworks and innovation systems to support learning and innovation in alternative energy sources, health care, diseases control, mass public transportation, pollution and environment protection in developing countries
- Development of innovation capabilities and learning in non-business organisations
