TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the role of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in economic development and present a case study of IPR protection in Asia and Latin America, covering diverse forms of IPR, diverse actors in innovation, and diverse cases from Asia.
Abstract: Protection of intellectual property rights (IPRs) serves a dual role in economic development. While it promotes innovation by providing legal protection of inventions, it may retard catch-up and learning by restricting the diffusion of innovations. Does stronger IPR protection in a developing country encourage technology development in or technology transfer to that country? This book aims to address the issue, covering diverse forms of IPRs, diverse actors in innovation, and diverse cases from Asia and Latin America.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the innovation processes in the theory of management sciences and find the main direction of their development using critical and comparative analyses, and they diagnose a large number (9) of innovation models that had been created since the beginning of innovation theory.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to describe the innovation processes in the theory of management sciences and to find the main direction of their development. Methods of critical and comparative analyses were used. The research diagnosed a large number (9) of innovation models that had been created since the beginning of innovation theory. The theory started with simple models and later developed the most complicated ideas. The models can be divided into two main groups: linear and nonlinear ones. The conjugated innovation concept showed that the innovation process could be more complicated than a simple cause-and-effect relationship. The new concept started discussions on a new open innovation model. The ideas of user-driven innovation (UDI) and diffusion of innovations were the consequences of this proposal. A description and classification of the innovation models is a novelty in the theory of the management sciences. Another result is the idea of combining some innovation process models. The expected results will have an effect on the development of economic sciences, especially the management sciences. The present research shows that innovation processes are more and more complicated. One can see the increasing role of clients (customers) and wider cooperation in the modern models of innovation processes.

TL;DR: The Diffusion of Innovations Model is applied in a case study to identify the issues and propose a solution for future initiatives in the development of e-Payments in Oman.
Abstract: In 2006 the Government of Oman has embarked on a strategy called ‘Digital Oman’ which, aims to make government services available electronically throughout the country, and to facilitate e-Commerce in all of its forms. Part of the e-Government initiative was to develop an e-Payments gateway to facilitate the online payments for users of different departments and services. The Information Technology Authority (ITA) of the Sultanate of Oman has taken up the strategic initiative to drive the development of e-Payments in Oman. The ePayment gateway is one of a kind in the region, and it was implemented in partnership with MasterCard’s “MiGS” platform. The project has been live for over 8 years, yet neither the number of customers nor the value of transactions is close the initial projections. The project is about to reach a dead end and get replaced with another solution. In this paper we apply the Diffusion of Innovations Model [12] in a case study to identify the issues and propose a solution for future initiatives.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore a newly emerging source of data on the occurrence and spread of innovations drawn from descriptions of goods and services in the US trademark register and find that fast growing new tokens are frequently new to English and their use in language coevolves with the frequency of linked patents and trademarks.
Abstract: This paper explores a newly emerging source of data on the occurrence and spread of innovations drawn from descriptions of goods and services in the US trademark register. Using these data we describe patterns of regional innovation in the United States and study the effect of distance on the early diffusion of innovations. To identify innovations and their locations we tokenize trademark descriptions and identify novel, fast spreading tokens (words). While trademarks appear to capture many innovations missed in patents, among tokens that co-occur in patent documents the diffusion dynamics for patents and trademarks are similar. We also find that fast growing new tokens are frequently new to English, and their use in language co-evolves with the frequency of linked patents and trademarks. Finally, we show that regional incidence of new tokens parallels patterns of inventive activity reflected in patent data. We exploit occurrence of new trademark tokens to re-examine how spatial distance affects the diffusion of innovations in the U.S. economy. Aggregating innovations at the year and census tract level we estimate Poisson models of diffusion intensity between locations, revealing persistent, strong and negative effects of distance on the intensity of diffusion between locations within the US.

TL;DR: The authors analyzed the interviews of five people involved in the development of Modeling Instruction and found that despite the potentially positive impacts of research-based instructional reforms in physics, few high school physics teachers in the US enact them.
Abstract: Despite research documenting the potentially positive impacts of research-based instructional reforms in physics, few high school physics teachers in the US enact them. One of the more successfully disseminated reforms is Modeling Instruction. To discern aspects of this reform that afforded or constrained its dissemination, we analyzed the interviews of five people involved in the development of Modeling Instruction. Our findings are framed within theoretical perspectives from the communities of practice, diffusion of innovations, and leadership.
