The catch-phrase Bric has provided economics journalists and pundits with a lot of fun over recent years – the newspaper headline wordplay alone will have kept many of them amused for hours.
But the role of law in supporting innovation and entrepreneurship in emerging and evolving economies such as Brazil, Russia, India and China, is a serious matter, so don’t expect many strained metaphors in this book.
The publication contains different perspectives and ideas – compiled by editor and contributor Megan Carpenter – aimed at translating entrepreneurial strategies into real policies.
The collection also addresses questions of practical efficacy, including measures of how successful or unsuccessful legal efforts to incentivise entrepreneurship may be, through intellectual property law and other disciplines, and the issue of what defines success in the first place.
For a variety of reasons, primary and secondary sector industries are no longer as viable as they once were. With the transition of economies from resource-based environments to something that is based more on ‘new’ resources, such as information and content, innovation and entrepreneurship are as in-demand as they ever were.
With an aim to assist those who are targeting economies in transition, this book aims to appeal to students and scholars of innovation, law, and entrepreneurship.
