This book arises from a large-scale project with the acronym AEGIS (Advancing Knowledge-Intensive Entrepreneurship and Innovation for Economic Growth and Social Well-being in Europe, 2009-12).
Filling a gap, the focus here is on low-tech industries--which occupy a substantial portion of the economy in both developed and developing countries yet have received much less attention than
high- and medium-tech industries. Ten contributions address characteristics, patterns, and impact of knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship (KIE); strategies and development prospects--Portugal
and Russia as case studies; and policy issues, including an article titled ＂Trapped by the high-tech myth: the need and chances for a new policy rationale.＂ Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc.,
