Seo and Changseok Oh and Seung Jun Yoo}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {This study attempts to examine the disparities in S&T innovation capacity from 14 developing countries to discuss how to support specific features in national innovation systems. It includes East-Asian, Middle-Asian, Central American and African countries. Here, we particularly focus on five dimensions- resources, activities, network, environment and performance- with 37 indicators. They were derived as structuring components of the relevant diagnostic model, which encompasses the whole process of S&T innovation from the input of resources to the output of economically valuable results. For many developing nations, economic industries remain weaker than actual S&T capabilities, and relevant regulatory authorities may not exist. This paper will be helpful to provide basic evidence and to set directions for better national S&T Innovation capacities and toward national competitiveness. }, journal = {International Journal of Economics and Management Engineering}, volume = {10}, number = {10}, year = {2016}, pages = {3428 - 3438}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10005606}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/118}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 118, 2016}, }
