Barriers to innovation: the case of Ghana and implications for developing countries
This paper analyses the barriers to innovation and innovativeness in the Ghana National System of Innovation (GNSI) in terms of the quadrilateral relationships between the following four actors: (a) government; (b) medium- and high-technology industries; (c) knowledge-based institutions; and (d) arbitrageurs (venture capital, finance capital and knowledge brokers). The paper contributes to research on systems of innovation in view of the wide recognition of the importance of National System of Innovation (NSI) for economic performance. The barriers to innovation in Ghana identified, through factor analysis, provide a framework to isolate systemic problems and enable policy makers to enhance effective policy delivery at the system level. This empowers the four actors to overcome the specific barriers to innovation and thus enabling the overall GNSI, through increased effectiveness and efficiency, to achieve higher levels of competitiveness. We find that barriers to innovation and innovativeness in Ghana factor significantly into the following: skills-Information and Communication Technology (ICT) capability/capacity; unsophisticated markets; deficient fiscal policy; and organisational risks.

FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN SUB‐SAHARAN AFRICA: CHANGING LOCATION‐SPECIFIC ADVANTAGES AS SIGNALS OF COMPETITIVENESS
In: The developing economies: the journal of the Institute of Developing Economies, Tokyo, Japan, Band 47, Heft 3, S. 244-278
ISSN: 1746-1049
This paper uses longitudinal factor analysis of location‐specific advantages that are relevant to the foreign direct investment decisions of multinational enterprises (MNEs) in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) to signal changes in location competitiveness. A total of 1,216 responses by MNEs to a survey in 15 SSA countries are analyzed. We find that, first, over a three‐year period (2002–5), MNEs perceive a positive change in the market‐servicing environment in SSA. Second, MNEs find negative changes in SSA regarding the availability of input factors and characteristics of market demand.
