Synopsis

(There has been a growing realization that technology and the management decisions of global business enterprises affect the economies of localties and regions as well as nations. This book brings together existing knowledge about economic develop¬ment especially at the scale of regions within nations, for if is research at this level that is most valuable for addressing the realities of economic development in the I990's.
Technology is seen as the central ingredient in economic development. It is the process of learning by individuals, and as their cumulative skills increase, by industry, commerce and ultimately nations. It allows for competition between entrepre¬neurs, for one region to prosper over another and it is the primary influence on commercial management decisions. The economic well-being of people, and communities at all levels, reflects the decisions and policies of organizations in response to technolo¬gical change.
Professor Malecki intends this book to be used as a resource for further study into the dynamics of economic development at local, regional and national scale. He draws information from business studies, economics, development and management studies, geography and science and technology policy to explain the complex process of economic change. Throughout he refers to policies on technology, industry and development and draws examples from advanced economies, newly industrializing and underdeveloped countries.
Economists, geographers, planners, policy-makers and scholars who are concerned about economic growth and development will find this an important and informative resource)
