Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The reality of today is, to a certain extent, the result of innovation processes, and the challenges facing all countries around the world, especially the developing ones, require innovation efforts. In an interconnected world, in the future of which a whole series of challenges, crises (economic, energy, environmental, food, etc.) and, implicitly, risks are to be expected, sustainable growth and development will depend on innovation processes. These make it possible to design revolutionary technologies and create the necessary framework for adaptation to change. Rethinking and updating development strategies is central to the concerns of economic policy makers and entrepreneurs, as evidenced by multi-directional approaches and combined effort, because the result of strategic innovations adds value to the economy of companies, countries, regions and, at the same time, globally. By optimizing the economic and social structure, strategic innovation supports the comparative and competitive advantages of developing countries that they need to correct systemic imbalances and ensure their sustainable growth and development.
Increasing the importance of markets in developing countries, connecting them to the global market, and improving their ability to adapt to rapid change all require investment efforts to ensure their optimal ability to compete with competitive entities in developed countries.
The approach to this category of countries should cover as wide a range of scientific fields as possible, some of which should be given priority, and should also cover as wide a time horizon as possible. Therefore, we invite you to participate in the study of strategic innovations in developing countries, by identifying trends, issues and future directions. We appreciate well-documented theoretical and empirical approaches, well anchored in the economic and social reality of developing markets. Multidisciplinary studies are also welcome.
