Fostering interaction between industry and academic and government laboratories is widely seen as an important means of facilitating growth and innovation in the technology-based industries. This book investigates the research links and knowledge flows between industrial and public sector research in three new and promising fields of advanced technology — biotechnology, engineering ceramics, and parallel computing. Differences between these fields suggest that policies to promote public-private research links should be more effectively targeted. Similarities highlight the general importance to innovation of frontier research in universities, and the need to encourage informal interaction between industrial and public sector researchers.Less

This chapter argues that informal interaction should not be overlooked, because it is a way in which people collectively develop fundamental tools of political understanding. Political scientists have given the act of understanding politics, also referred to as the act of interpreting or making sense of politics, far less attention than the act of evaluating or making political choices. In analyzing processes of interpretation, the dependent variable is no longer preferences but perspectives. Preferences are attitudes about particular issues. Perspectives are the lenses through which people view issues. Some aspects of a person's perspective or outlook on life are not necessarily tied to their social context. Yet, how people look at the world is grounded in where they place themselves in relation to others. Social identities are not just one component of worldviews. Instead, we see the world through ideas of where we place ourselves in relation to others.Less

Incorporation of the informal sector within the formal sector—agriculture linkage models have been undertaken to prepare the ground for the succeeding analyses on the informal sector and in particular, its locus in the broader economy. This is done following the stylized facts about the Indian economy and also tracing the changing paradigm of development shifting its focus from the formal sector centric trickle-down trajectory to inclusive growth promoting the informal sector. Thus, the fundamental issue of this book is placed. It is proposed by using a basic model of formal sector—agriculture—informal sector interactions the following. Contrary to the conventional wisdom that proposes and tries to promote formal-informal symbiosis and also to the radical critiques viewing the informality mainly as an isolated entity—an object of governance or primarily a space for political rule of capital, there is rather a fundamental resource conflict between these two sectors.Less
