Abstract: While land, labour and capital have been the drivers of industrial economies, it is posited that knowledge creation and mobilisation are the drivers of 21st century industrial economies. Developing countries that are in the process of transitioning to developed countries are struggling through the transition period. A variety of theories and a range of speculations have been offered as to why some countries are more innovative than others, however little of this literature examines the theoretical applicability of innovation theory based on industrial countries to developing countries. This article reviews Mexico's national system of innovation by contrasting the 2001-2006 science and technology development policy with the linear model of innovation.
