A new look at the US pattern of federal R and D spending: preliminary lessons for newly industrializing economies
Article Abstract:
Recent studies suggest that US industrial policy has moved from 'mission oriented' towards 'diffusion oriented' which results in more market-oriented and economically motivated change. However, fornewly industrializing economies (NIEs), the mission-oriented industrial technology policy paradigm is still a useful focal point of governmental actions. In the absence of a mission-oriented policy, research and development becomes self-serving and alien. This may hamper the development of indigenous domestic technologies in NIEs.
