The book originates from a sense of the tremendous need for quantitative indicators for assessing trends and perfonnance in the post-socialist economies. S\u0026amp;T systems in the region have passed through the first phase of rapid deterioration, or as it is called by some analysts 'implosion'. After ten years of transfonnation we are witnessing a process of increasing differentiation of these countries in tenns of general patterns of growth and structural change, as well as specific lines of restructuring in their S\u0026amp;T systems. The question of sources of growth - or indeed of stagnation - is an increasingly urgent one, from both the policy and academic perspectives. In that context there is a pressing need for in-depth assessment of restructuring patterns in science, technology and industry in the region, as a basis for understanding how restructuring in S\u0026amp;T is linked to industrial restructuring, and to general economic and social transfonnation. As the contributions to this volume show, there is now a critical mass of quantitative data across the post-socialist countries which deserves to be studied more thoroughly in a comparative manner. The changes of the last ten years have produced varying patterns of adjustment which are now clearly visible in S\u0026amp;T and structural indicators.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45284213129367,"sku":"9789401059138","price":21084.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789401059138.webp?v=1769280518","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/innovation-and-structural-change-in-post-socialist-countries-a-quantitative-approach-9789401059138","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
