Assignment:
For this assignment, you must refer to and apply the theories and academic
literature discussed in the module (e.g. the national systems of innovation (NSI) literature). For a higher mark you can also use relevant academic articles not discussed in lectures or included in the Resource List.
Make sure that you identify the specific NSI approach you want to use in your
analysis, that you explain the theory and that you justify your choice of theory.
You should also evaluate the theories you are using (e.g. what are the strengths and weaknesses of theNSI approach you have chosen to apply? Why is the NSI approach you have chosen to apply relevant to the country you have chosen to analyse? A specific NSI approach maybe good at explaining the development of one of the technologies you are using but not another, etc).
Providing Recommendation in the Assignment
When providing suggestion for change of the institutions you have chosen, you can
discuss whether the country of your choice should support or constrain/limit (for example if you think there are more societal benefits to limiting the development of a technology) the development of the disruptive technologies you are discussing. Make sure you explain and justify your decisions.
Use up to date empirical evidence in the Assignment
For any analysis included in the assignment, use up-to-date empirical evidence (e.g., statistics, company examples, country examples, newspaper articles, media reports, industry reports, etc.).
