“…Vernengo rightly points at the two different coexisting traditions in dependency theory, while he underscores that both groups would agree that at the core of the dependency relationship between centre and periphery lies the inability of the periphery to develop an autonomous and dynamic process of technological innovation (2006, p. 552 Lundvall et al (2009). See also Metcalfe and Ramlogan (2008). 15.…”

“…2009, p. 1). In practice, this commitment is often taken up with the idea of 'closing the gap' between poor and rich countries by expanding poorer countries' gross domestic products (GDPs) and, generally, the 'catching-up' approach favoured by the so-called Washington Consensus, which Lundvall et al aim at overcoming (Metcalfe and Ramlogan 2008). It is true that NISs helped to move beyond the neoliberal ideas of the Washington Consensus that strive towards increasing international competitiveness, a diminished role of the state, lowered wages and currency devaluations (Lundvall 2005, p. 6).…”

“…A number of scholars (e.g. Lastres and Cassiolato 2002;Metcalfe and Ramlogan 2008), when they look at the recent restructuration of Latin American economies to exploit resource-based comparative advantage (pulp and paper, soybean, steel) and at their actual organization on a low-skill, non-engineering model controlled by foreign enterprises, stress that NISs in Latin America remain rather weak and unarticulated, with rare local innovation capacities. Like Arocena and Sutz (2003) they advocate the '[creation of] a Southern framework of thought that could benefit from incorporating some of the premises of the Latin American underdevelopment theory' (Lastres and Cassiolato 2002, p. 5).…”

“…The great strength of the innovation systems approach is the focus on the role of non-market institutions and processes in fostering innovation (Metcalfe & Ramlogan, 2006). Increases in service complexity and required knowledge have led to innovations that are multifaceted, requiring suitable communications channels to share and exchange information and knowledge.…”

This paper reports on local innovation in the Indonesian mobile cellular market. From the local perspective, innovation opportunity appears when it suits characteristics of the country and behaviors of its people. The realization of such an opportunity has been enabled by development of a mobile-herbal (m-herbal) service application. The service has been designed according to the following framework: scanning the market demand, defining specific applications, defining the actors, exploring tacit knowledge of the actors, and developing engineering functions for support of implantation innovation and concurrent innovative development. We used the results of a previous market survey emphasizing a need for healthrelated services in the Indonesian market. Herbal remedies were chosen collectively as the focal point of health-related service development since it is well-known that indigenous methods of treatment using Indonesian natural ingredients are employed commonly. The service has been developed to run on an Android-based smartphone, which connects to the database called Indonesian HerbalDB. It consists of two main features: queries (searches) regarding herbal remedies and a self-evaluation. Users of the service may search the names of traditional Indonesian plants, their local names, and the kinds of diseases that can be treated by using them. Through self-evaluations, users are encouraged to describe their personal perceptions of certain herbal remedies and recommend them to other users. Finally, our proposed framework signifies the importance of communications channels among actors in the mobile cellular network and the necessity of facilitating mutual interaction between multiple actors involved in the development of m-herbal services.

“…Its proponents have claimed that the differences in economic and technological performance of individual states are given by the combination of institutions present and their interactions. Innovation performance depends on the institutional differences in the introduction, development, and diffusion of new technologies, products, and processes (Metcalfe & Ramlogan, 2008). In recent years, the innovation systems concept has become the primary approach in research into innovations (Kaufmann, 2007).…”

Concepts of national and regional innovation systems can serve as an analytical framework forming the empirical base for innovation policy creation. It is possible to distinguish various types of these systems. One of these typologies is based on the assessment of innovation deficiencies. There are three types of regions: metropolitan, peripheral, and old industrial. Metropolitan regions can be characterized by a high level of research, innovation, and patent activity. The aims of this paper are to find relevant indicators that can be used as the basis for defining metropolitan regional innovation systems and using them for the identification of Czech metropolitan regions. The results of the point method combined with the cluster analysis showed that the capital city, Prague, as well as the South Moravian, Pardubice, Central Bohemian, Pilsen, and Liberec Regions can be defined as metropolitan regions.
