Foreword: Smart Specialization: a smart new policy paradigm for challenging times / Manuel Trajtenberg -- The origin -- From smart specialisation to smart specialisation policy -- Designing a smart specialisation strategy -- Goal variations according to regional development -- Towards practical implementation |
| Summary |
This is the first book on a new policy approach that has been widely adopted in Europe and beyond. It analyses the concept of smart specialisation and discuss the need for smart specialisation strategies, explains why the approach is new and different from more standard policy processes and explores what are the conditions for successful implementation. Smart Specialisation: Opportunities and Challenges for Regional Innovation Policy describes the origin of the concept, explains when a smart specialisation policy is necessary, provides a detailed analysis of the design principles of the policy and discuss the pertinence of this approach according to regional development levels. Finally the book discuss the practical implementation phase of the process - based on the first feedback acquired from certain regions engaged in the preparation of their smart specialisation strategy. The book is original in that it provides the first full analysis of smart specialisation strategies both at theoretical and practical levels. It has been written at the critical period of the implementation of smart specialisation strategies in every region in Europe. The fact that the EU has adopted smart specialisation as a mandatory principle for every region and member states will make this book well received by and very useful for: i) policy makers in regional and national administrations in Europe, ii) policy makers in other parts of the world who are in charge of regional policy and have heard about the concept, iii) consultants, analysts and experts who are active on the "markets for smart specialisation diagnosis and expertise", iv) scholars, researchers and graduate students working in the field of regional studies, technology policy and geography of innovation |

"This book provides the first full analysis of smart specialisation strategies both at theoretical and practical levels. As a new policy approach smart specialisation has already been widely adopted in Europe and beyond. Smart Specialisation: Opportunities and Challenges for Regional Innovation Policy analyses the concept of smart specialisation, discusses the need for smart specialisation strategies, explains how the approach varies from standard policy processes and explores the necessary conditions for successful implementation. This book has been written at a critical period of the implementation of smart specialisation strategies across Europe. As the EU has adopted smart specialisation as a mandatory principle for every region and member state this book will be useful to policy makers in regional and national administrations in Europe, policy makers in other parts of the world, consultants, analysts and experts active on the "markets for smart specialisation diagnosis and expertise" as well as scholars, researchers and graduate students working in the field of regional studies, technology policy and geography of innovation"-- Provided by publisher |
