As part of the Poznan Strategic Programme on Technology Transfer, which the Global Environmental Facility funded a regional project, implemented by the IDB. One of the components of this project was executed by Mexicos National Climate Change and Ecology Institute. It carried out two very relevant studies, one on recommendations to integrate climate change technologies into the national innovation systems, and the other on planning tools for climate change. The topics addressed on this document are i) The role of Environmentally Sound Technologies & National Innovation Systems (NIS) in the fight against Climate Change. ii) Greening NIS in LAC: Challenges and Opportunities. iii) Recommendations for the integration of ESTs into NIS.

Selective case studies of the post–World War II economy have given rise to claims that national innovation systems, or dirigiste linkages between the state, universities, and industry, are required for technological change and economic growth. The long-run patterns of innovation in the leading nations of Britain, France, and the United States suggest otherwise. Administered systems, where key economic decisions were made by elites, the state, and other privileged groups, typically were associated with monopsonies and the misallocation of resources and talent. By contrast, the American experience highlights the central role of markets in ideas and decentralized incentives for innovation, in concert with flexible open-access adjacent institutions, in promoting useful knowledge and sustained technological progress.

The article is devoted to the study of the nature, features and significance of intellectual property in modern economic systems. The role of intellectual property in stimulating the development of the national economy and changing its specialization in the post-industrial era is analyzed. Authors underlined the fact that Ukraine faces the problem of changing economic specialization in the context of post-industrial transformations in order to ensure an advantageous position in the global competitive environment. The analysis shows that EU countries and the US are trying to export finished products with a high share of value added, while most of Ukraine's export basket is made up of raw materials, which gives our country a losing position in the global economic environment. The role of commercialization of intellectual property and investments in intellectual capital in the structural transformation of the economic system and the formation of the post-industrial system of production is substantiated. The impact of knowledge, information, innovations and intellectual property on the economic growth and competitiveness of the country in modern globalized consumer markets has been investigated. South Korea's experience in the commercialization of intellectual property and the formation of an effective model of specialization is considered. Results of research demonstrated that distinguishing tools as a component of intangible assets of enterprises turned into important factor of its competitiveness in the context of post-industrial transformations. China's experience in supporting the commercialization of intellectual property by creating industrial parks that accumulate foreign direct investment is studied. Analysis of statistics has proved key role of intellectual property in the modern system of public reproduction, and allows to identify a clear link between the volume and dynamics of investment in intellectual capital and profitability of innovative enterprises. The necessity to implement the state policy aimed at changing the economic specialization of Ukraine in the direction of forming a favorable institutional environment for the implementation of innovative and technological potential has been substantiated.

This paper investigates the role of intellectual property in the modern post-industrial economy and its intensive commercialization of the country's competitive advantages in the global economic environment. The main purpose of the research is to prove the hypothesis about the crucial role of intellectual property development in ensuring expanded public reproduction and facilitating the global competitiveness of national economies through innovative modernization of production. To gain the research aim, the authors used a combination of theoretical synthesis and comprehensive statistical analysis. The study follows a deductive approach and theoretical background analysis followed by quantitative research of statistical data. It allowed arriving essential conclusions concerning the role of intellectual property in strengthening the global competitiveness of the national economy and practical policy implications regarding stimulating intellectual property commercialization within the national economy. Paper investigates transmission mechanisms that represent the impact of intensive commercialization of intellectual property on public reproduction and competitiveness of the national economy. Commercialization of intellectual property, defined as a range of activities envisaged for rapid implementation of intellectual activity, resulted in economic turnover to obtain strategic competitive advantages and generate economic profit supported by the transformation of intellectual property into intellectual capital used for the manufacturing of innovative, highly marginal products. Comprehensive statistical data analysis was conducted using quantitative methods (cluster analysis and principal components analysis). The findings proved the key role of intellectual property in the modern system of public reproduction. They demonstrated the multiplicative impact of intellectual property development on a country's competitive global economic environment. Obtained research results provided the basis for policy implications concerning the development of commercialization of intellectual property and stimulation of expanded reproduction of intellectual capital in Ukraine as a precondition of innovative modernization of national industries and acquiring strategic competitive advantages in a globalized market.


Intellectual capital is the creation of more wealth by dint of knowledge and knowledge-based processes. The cycle of intellectual capital begins at inner faculties of a human being, in the application of skills, knowledge, experimentation, and research. Thus, it begins at the knowledge level in a person and ends at the creation of capital. This capital is known as intellectual capital. This chapter mainly explains the role of the elements in intellectual capital for open innovative initiatives in business enterprises. Five case illustrations are discussed in open innovation management with the elements of intellectual capital.
