economic and political systems. They use comparisons between
nations and regions to explore how firms, governments and other
organisations interact in different systems of innovation. Their
investigations focus on two main issues. The first is the
relationship between different institutional settings and the
innovation process. Students consider, for example, how different
public technology policies or financial systems influence
processes of innovation. The second focus is on the effects that
different patterns of innovation have on economic performance.
Students acquire and develop, for example, an essential
understanding of relations amongst high technology, product or
process innovation, employment .and economic prowth.
The course thus addresses crucial issues for engineers,
economists and mangers as well as public policy-makers. It is
offered to both Swedish and international students
This section addresses a broad social and economic context within
which firms act. It leads us into questions such as the
institutional framework of different countries and which types of
technologies and products create new jobs and economic growth in
general.
(2) Systems of Innovation and Networks
This section uses the different perspectives already discussed in
order to ask why and how regional vs. national vs. international
contacts between firms and groups of firms and their
institutional context can be important. This importance can vary
in relation to institutional contexts. For example, this approach
would allow us to compare "East Gothia region" (Östergötland)
with Silicon Valley and Kista. This is relevant both for asking
how firms can or should act in different areas as well as for
understanding the different faces of capitalism.
teachers are also active in the department of Technology and
Social Change. Visiting scholars and practitioners in business or
public organisations may also give guest lectures. The course
will be given in English.
course members are expected to participate actively in seminar
discussions.

Those who have passed an examination may not retake it in order
to improve their grades.
