Abstract

There has been significant research attention and focus on industrial science and technology policies in developed economies that have been at the forefront of implementing various policy initiatives designed to stimulate firm level R&D, enhance university industry collaborations, and support entrepreneurs and start-ups. However, there has not been the same consistent research attention on science and technology policy in less developed countries where there are distinct economic, social, cultural and institutional differences. The purpose of this work is to consider some of the contextual issues for science and technology policy development in less developed countries and to propose some future avenues for research.
