About the Author Kathryn C.
By bringing together aggregate data at the global and national level with original fieldwork and drawing on rich cases, Ibata-Arens telegraphs implications for Innovation policy and Entrepreneurship strategy in Asia--and beyond.
In contrast to countries that engage in classic technonationalism--like Japan\'s developmental state approach--networked technonationalists are global minded to outside markets, while remaining nationalistic within the domestic economy.
What emerges is an argument that countries pursuing networked technonationalism (NTN) effectively upgrade their capacity for Innovation and encourage entrepreneurial activity in targeted industries.
Taking China, India, Japan, and Singapore in turn, she compares each country\'s underlying competitive advantages.
What accounts for the rapid and sustained economic growth of biomedicals in Asia? To answer this question, Kathryn Ibata-Arens integrates global and national data with original fieldwork to present a conceptual framework that considers how national governments have managed key factors, like innovative capacity, government policy, and firm-level strategies.
While it has been an economic development target of many national governments, Asia is currently on track to reach the epicenter of this growth.
