Kuznetsov, YevgenyDahlman, Carl J.2012-05-252012-05-252008978-0-8213-6921-0https://hdl.handle.net/10986/6431This book is about how Mexico can transform itself into a knowledge based economy by tapping into a number of existing socioeconomic advantages: macroeconomic stability, emerging regional enterprise clusters that combine local talent with a dynamic private sector, geographical proximity to the world's knowledge economy powerhouse-the United States, as well as a rich cultural base that generates a wealth of ideas. Mexico's transition to a knowledge-based economy provides a broad assessment of the country's readiness to join the global knowledge economy, highlighting the importance of education and institutional reform, and of creating an environment that is conducive to innovation. This transformation, however, is not only about shaping the reform agenda from the top down. It also means trial-and-error experimentation to test what works and what doesn't in the Mexican context, and then taking successful bottom-up initiatives to scale. The book takes a dual approach in its analysis and recommendations. It tackles both the strategic long-term agenda, which entails many difficult changes and choices, while also proposing a diversity of pragmatic, short-and medium-term entry points to initiate and promote the transition within the current institutional structure.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EDUCATIONADSLADVERTISINGAGENTSAGRICULTUREANIMAL PRODUCTSAPPLIED R&DASYMMETRIC DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINEAUTOMOBILEBACKBONEBENCHMARKINGBIOTECHNOLOGYBROADBANDBUSINESS DEVELOPMENTBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESSESCALL CENTERSCAPABILITIESCAPABILITYCAPITAL INVESTMENTCAPITAL REQUIREMENTSCOLLABORATIONCOLLECTIVE ACTIONCOMMODITIESCOMMODITYCOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIESCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGESCOMPETITIVE ADVANTAGECOMPETITIVE ADVANTAGESCOMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENTCOMPETITIVE MARKETSCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPUTERSCONSUMERSCOPYRIGHTCUSTOMER BASEDEBTDEREGULATIONDEVELOPMENT STRATEGYDIGITAL MEDIADIGITAL SUBSCRIBERDOIE-MAILECONOMIC ACTIVITIESECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC INCENTIVESECONOMIC THEORYELECTRICITYENGINEERSENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENTENTRY POINTSEQUIPMENTEXPORTSEXTENSIONEXTENSION SERVICESFACTORS OF PRODUCTIONFEASIBILITY STUDIESFINANCIAL PERFORMANCEFINANCIAL SYSTEMFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN INVESTMENTFREE TRADEFUNCTIONALITYGDPGDP PER CAPITAGLOBAL COMPETITIVENESSGLOBAL ECONOMYGLOBAL KNOWLEDGEGLOBAL KNOWLEDGE ECONOMYGLOBAL MARKETGLOBALIZATIONGNPGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROSS NATIONAL PRODUCTGROWTH PROJECTIONSGROWTH RATEHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN RESOURCESICTINDUSTRIAL ECONOMIESINDUSTRIAL STRUCTUREINDUSTRIALIZATIONINFORMATION COMMUNICATIONINFORMATION COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIESINFORMATION INFRASTRUCTUREINFORMATION MANAGEMENTINFORMATION SERVICESINFORMATION SYSTEMSINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINNOVATIONINNOVATION PROGRAMSINSTRUCTIONINTEGRATIONINTELLECTUAL PROPERTYINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSINTERFACEINTERNATIONAL BUSINESSINTERNATIONAL COMPETITIONINTERNATIONAL COMPETITIVENESSINTERNATIONAL TRADEINTERNET ACCESSINTERNET SERVICESINVENTIONJOURNALSKNOWLEDGE ASSETSKNOWLEDGE BASEKNOWLEDGE ECONOMYKNOWLEDGE FOR DEVELOPMENTKNOWLEDGE GAPSKNOWLEDGE NETWORKSKNOWLEDGE REVOLUTIONKNOWLEDGE WORKERSLEARNINGLEGAL FRAMEWORKSLEGAL INFRASTRUCTURELEGAL SYSTEMLICENSELICENSE FEESLICENSESLICENSINGLITERACYLITERACY RATELOW INCOMEMACROECONOMIC STABILITYMANAGEMENT SYSTEMSMANUFACTURINGMANUFACTURING INDUSTRIESMANUFACTURING INDUSTRYMARKET SHAREMARKET SHARESMARKETINGMATERIALMEDIUM ENTERPRISEMERGERSNATIONAL INCOMENATIONAL INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURENATURAL RESOURCESNETWORK INFRASTRUCTURENETWORKSNEW TECHNOLOGIESNONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSONLINE TRANSACTIONSOUTSOURCINGPATENTSPCPILOT PROJECTSPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOLITICAL ECONOMYPRINTING PRESSPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE SECTORPROCUREMENTPRODUCT DIFFERENTIATIONPRODUCT MARKETSPRODUCTION FUNCTIONPRODUCTION INPUTSPRODUCTION PROCESSESPRODUCTIVITYPROJECT MANAGEMENTPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLISHINGPURCHASING POWERPURCHASING POWER PARITYQUERIESR&DREAL GDPREDUCTION OF COSTSREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRESEARCH CENTERSRESULTRESULTSRURAL TELEPHONYSCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIESSCIENTISTSSERVICE PROVIDERSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL SERVICESSOFTWARE INDUSTRIESSTANDARDIZATIONSTRATEGIC INFORMATION SYSTEMSSUPPLY CHAINSTECHNICAL KNOWLEDGETECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENTTECHNOLOGY PARKSTECHNOLOGY TRANSFERTECHNOLOGY TRANSFERSTELECOMMUNICATIONTELECOMMUNICATIONSTELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANIESTELECOMMUNICATIONS LAWTELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKSTELEPHONETELEPHONE SERVICESTELEPHONESTELEPHONYTEXTILESTOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITYTOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITY GROWTHTRADE BALANCETRAINING PROGRAMSTRANSACTIONUNEMPLOYMENTUNIVERSITIESUSERUSERSUSESVALUE ADDEDVALUE CHAINVALUE CHAINSWAGESWEALTHWEALTH CREATIONWEBWORLD TRADEWORLD TRADE ORGANIZATIONWTOWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-6921-0
