Lo sviluppo industriale e l'innovazione sono le forze essenziali che determinano la crescita, lo sviluppo e il cambiamento strutturale. In particolare, l'innovazione svolge un ruolo essenziale nei paesi in via di sviluppo e il suo ruolo promette di essere sempre più importante. Questo corso fornirà agli studenti gli strumenti e i metodi analitici per pensare sistematicamente sullo sviluppo industriale e l'innovazione nei paesi in via di sviluppo e fornire loro una comprensione pratica di questi fenomeni.
La prima parte del corso pone le basi teoriche dello sviluppo industriale, compresi gli approcci tradizionali, nonché nuovi e non ortodossi, con un focus sulla teoria dell'impresa e dell'innovazione nei paesi emergenti.
La seconda parte del corso esplora in dettaglio gli strumenti ed i meccanismi frequentemente utilizzati nelle politiche per lo sviluppo industriale e l'innovazione, e analizza gli approcci seguiti da alcuni governi e organizzazioni internazionali utilizzando esempi empirici concreti di politiche e progetti realizzati.
