Since the early 2000s, state-led and innovation-focused strategies have characterized the approach to development pursued in countries around the world, such as China, India, and South Korea. Brazil, the largest and most industrialized economy in Latin America, demonstrates both the opportunities and challenges of this approach. Over the course of nearly 20 years, the Brazilian government enacted various policies and programs designed to strengthen the country’s capacity to innovate. It increased spending on science and technology, encouraged greater collaboration between industry and universities, and fostered the creation of new institutions whose primary aim was to facilitate greater private research and development (R&D) spending. In this book, the editors unite a diverse array of empirical contributions around a few key themes, including public policies, institutions and innovation ecosystems, and firms and industries, that collectively make the case for a new, forward-looking innovation agenda aimed at addressing persistent challenges and exploiting emerging opportunities in Brazil. Its conclusions offer valuable lessons for other developing and emerging economies seeking to accelerate innovation and growth in the modern age. With its interdisciplinary and wide-ranging contribution to the study of innovation, as well as attention to broader policy implications, this book will appeal to scholars and professionals alike.

Como nasceu a Internet no Brasil? Quem foram seus pioneiros? Como interagiram com os pais da Internet nos Estados Unidos e na Europa? Que estratégias guiaram o desenvolvimento da Internet no Brasil? Como ela se desenvolveu em termos de cobertura, uso, velocidade, preço e qualidade do serviço? O que precisa ser feito para melhor realizar o seu potencial de aceleradora do desenvolvimento econômico, social e político? Qual é o modelo brasileiro de governança da Internet e como está evoluindo? Estas são as principais questões abordadas neste livro. O autor tem sido um observador e participante no desenvolvimento e uso da Internet na África, Ásia, Rússia e Estados Unidos, mas, sobretudo, no Brasil. Ele interagiu com muitos pioneiros da Internet em todo o mundo, que o inspiraram e o educaram sobre ela. Este livro, completado logo depois da reunião do Global Multistakeholder Meeting on the Future of Internet Governance (NETmundial), realizada em São Paulo, visa proporcionar um pano de fundo que possa ser útil para os participantes deste importante encontro e para os entusiastas da Internet no Brasil e ao redor do mundo.

The concept of concurrent engineering (CE) was first developed in the 1980s. Now often referred to as transdiciplinary engineering, it is based on the idea that different phases of a product life cycle should be conducted concurrently and initiated as early as possible within the Product Creation Process (PCP). The main goal of CE is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the PCP and reduce errors in later phases, as well as incorporating considerations – including environmental implications – for the full lifecycle of the product. It has become a substantive methodology in many industries, and has also been adopted in the development of new services and service support. This book presents the proceedings of the 25th ISPE Inc. International Conference on Transdisciplinary Engineering, held in Modena, Italy, in July 2018. This international conference attracts researchers, industry experts, students, and government representatives interested in recent transdisciplinary engineering research, advancements and applications. The book contains 120 peer-reviewed papers, selected from 259 submissions from all continents of the world, ranging from the theoretical and conceptual to papers addressing industrial best practice, and is divided into 11 sections reflecting the themes addressed in the conference program and addressing topics as diverse as industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing; human-centered design; modeling, simulation and virtual design; and knowledge and data management among others. With an overview of the latest research results, product creation processes and related methodologies, this book will be of interest to researchers, design practitioners and educators alike.
