This special issue of the STI Review focuses on fostering high-tech spinoffs.

This report evaluates the performance of the knowledge-based sector in Mexico and provides policy recommendations for improving the financing, creation and expansion of innovative knowledge-based start-ups.

Following the successful of previous conference, 3rd International Conference on Administrative Science, Policy, and Governance Studies (ICAS-PGS) in strategic alliance with 4th International Conference of Business Administration and Policy (ICBAP) 2019 will be held on October 30-31, 2019 in Universitas Indonesia, Depok, West Java, Indonesia. This year’s conference theme is “Strengthening Strategic Administrative Reform Policy to Promote Competitiveness and Innovation in Industrial Revolution 4.0: The Opportunities and Challenges.” This conference is hosted by Faculty of Administrative Science Universitas Indonesia (FIA UI). The conference covers debates over problematic situation, theoretical frameworks, as well as prescribed policies the way that governments, businesses, and civil societies essentially need to outline strategies to realize reform commitment and achieve change efficacy for purposes of harnessing innovation while considering the opportunities and challenges as well as maintaining sustainability, engaging in a more dynamic predicament such as regulatory frameworks that affect relations of multiple governance actors in today’s dynamic towards Industrial Revolution 4.0. The main objective of this conference is to discuss and debate the recent trends in administrative science on a range of issues such as public, business, and fiscal and the interconnectedness of all in Industrial Revolution 4.0. This conference is aimed to bring researchers, academicians, scientists, policymakers, professional managers, students, and other related stakeholders; together to participate and present their latest research findings, developments, and practical solutions related to the various aspects of administrative challenges in public and private sector. The general theme of 3rd ICAS-PGS and 4th ICBAP 2019 is “Strengthening Strategic Administrative Reform Policy to Promote Competitiveness and Innovation in Industrial Revolution 4.0: The Opportunities and Challenges.” The conferences consist of three streams representing differences of focus and scopes of research interests within the discipline of public, business, and fiscal administration and policy. We convey our gratitude to our esteemed Committee, Speakers and Participants, for giving their best to the success of the conference

This book analyses the process of regionalisation and plots its future development. Regionalisation is a common feature of the changing territorial organisation of European states today. Regionalisation alone, however, cannot produce any of the benefits attributed to it without looking into the conditions in which it occurs. Bringing together theory and empirical applications, coverage examines a host of these conditions.

This work is a new, valuable reference and tool for scholars, students, practitioners and policymakers interested in knowledge, innovation, regional growth and competitiveness. Pier Paolo Patrucco, Italian Journal of Regional Science This book is remarkable for several reasons. It provides highly relevant empirical analysis into a fundamental but under-researched area, namely medium technology industries. It proposes a new theoretical approach which builds on cognitive economics to explain how innovation in these industries is generated by interactive learning. It develops important policy implications based on the concept of governance. In doing so, the authors of this book are able to successfully blend together micro to macro levels of analysis as well as regional and industrial economics with public policy. The book should be carefully read by economists and social scientists, policy makers and businessmen interested in innovation at the regional level. Luigi Orsenigo, University of Brescia and Bocconi University, Italy This book explores the distinct nature of innovation in medium technology industrial sectors which are the key to European international competitiveness and examines the recent changes of networks within regional clusters. The authors present best-practice management and regional strategies, and develop an original and coherent theoretical framework for the analysis of innovation processes called Territorial Knowledge Management . They concentrate on the territorial dimension and the cognitive economics approach, and go beyond the traditional focus on R&D in high-tech sectors. The pivotal role of intermediate institutions in the governance of modern co-ordinated market economies is also highlighted. Working towards defining new guidelines for creating networks of competence centers and removing barriers to the enlargement of knowledge and innovation networks in Europe, this book will prove an enlightening read for those with an interest in postgraduate level management and innovation studies. Management and policy-making practitioners at both the regional and European level will also find much to interest them.
