Science Technology And Innovation

This chapter offers an overview about the role of science, technology and industrial policies in the MENA region. It analyses the theoretical foundations of these policies and their changes. In addition, an analysis about the determinants of the state of science, technology and innovation in the MENA countries become interesting and important to be explored. Thus, this chapter is an occasion to explore the role of the national system of innovation in these countries in facilitating the knowledge, skills and innovation process, and to offer some ideas regarding the weaknesses, limitations and constraints of these countries in these areas. The two main ideas of this chapter are: the development of innovation infrastructure and the role of institutions in pursuing these policies. Thus, undertaking a comparative analysis of the MENA countries in the areas of science, technology and innovation is the goal of this chapter.

Science Technology And Innovation

Rapid progress of science and technology after the WWII and their consecutive integration into economic and social processes went side by side with the growing understanding of the need for sophisticated state regulation of the resources allocated for augmentation of knowledge and evaluation of societal impacts of scientific experiments. Since then, statistics turned out to be one of the instruments that allowed developing standardized measurement of science and technology in terms of R&D inputs and outputs in relation with the innovation processes and economic growth. Through a system of economic indicators statistics provided essential data for decision making. Using the example of international conventions, formulated around STI measurement, the article shows how the role of statistics changes from simple registration of facts to active participation in public discussions on STI issues and integration in international strategic documents.

Abstract: Science, technology and Innovation (STI) plays different roles in developed and developing countries. In developed countries, STI is considered a driving force for innovation, and play a key role in maintaining high economic growth. Meanwhile, the underdeveloped economic and social structure, as well as the largely dependent on foreign technologies of developing countries has led to the insignificant role of STI. However, as STI has brought greater benefits for developing countries in supporting socio-economic development and industrialization, the awareness of STI’s important role has been increased recently. The problem now lies in how developing countries build effective STI policies and strategies. To tackle this problem, more attention and resource have been being located to STI policies making and implementing. Keywords: Policy, Science, Technology and Innovation, Developing countries.
