This paper was prepared as a background document for the forthcoming World Industrial
Development report for UNIDO in 2001. While the link between technological knowledge
and economic development is difficult to unravel, nonetheless, technological disparities
play
an immensely important role in explaining the diversity of development experience.
Here we
explore recent advances in the study of innovation processes, viewed through two
different
lenses, neoclassical and evolutionary theories of the firms. The paper concludes
with a
discussion of the implications for innovation policy in developing economies. We
conclude
that a central task of policy is to create a rich ecology of organisational and institutional
support for the absorption of knowledge and the generation of innovative capabilities.
