Abstract
This practitioner’s guide, a companion volume to The Innovation Paradox picks up
where the previous report left off. It aims to help policy makers in developing countries
better formulate innovation policies. It does so by providing a rigorous typology of
innovation policy instruments, including evidence of impact—and more importantly,
the critical conditions in terms of institutional capabilities to successfully implement
these policy instruments in developing countries. The guide aims to help fill a knowledge
gap by presenting not only leading-edge empirical evidence about and practical
experience with innovation policy, but also systematically discussing the market and
system failures that hold back innovation in developing countries.
