With solid data collected from China, India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Korea, the empirical chapters in this book eloquently address this question from their own viewpoints and evidences. . . .it is always challenging to organize a diverse set of papers into a logically coherent volume. Yet the editors handle this task effectively through the careful organization of chapters. . .The book’s coherence and organization are further assured by the contributors who are all experienced researchers from different disciplines and world regions.’</i>

Innovation spaces are analyzed within Asian countries and firms, from Asia to the world, and from the world to Asian countries.
Students and researchers pursuing innovation, international business and entrepreneurship will find this to be a useful read. This book will also be of interest to innovation managers and public policy practitioners looking for a thorough guide on the topic.
