Bringing together contributions from Chinese authors working in Chinese government agencies, research institutions, and universities together with European researchers, Petti (engineering for
innovation, U. of Salento, Italy) presents nine case studies analyzing the Chinese system of technological entrepreneurship (i.e., ＂the transformation of technological research, development,
and related investments into value＂). The studies address the roles of government, research, and educational institutions; the roles of enterprises and individuals; how the various actors
interact; the factors that influence technological innovation and entrepreneurship activities; and comparative differences and similarities with western systems of technological
entrepreneurship. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
