Varieties of Innovation Systems
The Governance of Knowledge Transfer in Europe
AvMichael Ortiz
Häftad, Engelska, 2013
545 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This book investigates the governance structures and mechanisms of knowledge and technology transfer in the context of innovation and production systems in six regions of Europe. For that purpose, the author develops a new and innovative heuristic governance model of knowledge transfer systems. Against the assumption of far-reaching institutional coherence and homogeneity of national systems in existing scholarship, Michael Ortiz demonstrates that national innovation and production systems are regionally variegated. With analyses of strengths and weaknesses, barriers, shortcomings, and dilemmas of regional innovation and knowledge transfer systems, the book ultimately identifies best practice models and policy recommendations for the investigated regions.
Fitting In and Getting Happy
How Conformity to Societal Norms Affects Subjective Well-being
AvOlga Stavrova
Häftad, Engelska, 2014
475 kr
Tillfälligt slut
Do unemployment, religiosity, or morality play a role in people's perception of happiness and well-being? Using large-scale survey data from more than seventy countries, Olga Stavrova shows in Fitting In and Getting Happy that to a large extent happiness depends on a match between individuals' attributes and the sociocultural characteristics of the environment in which they live. The first systematic, theory-driven investigation of cross-cultural variability in the causes and correlates of happiness, this book also provides a comprehensive overview of prior theoretical and empirical literature on happiness and life satisfaction and suggests a number of avenues for further research in the fields of subjective well-being studies and cross-cultural comparative studies.
