Transnational Corporations and Local Innovation

---

This series is the result of a collaborative effort of several people and institutions. The contributions presented here consolidate the findings of the project ‘Comparative Study of the National Innovation Systems of BRICS’ sponsored by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC). The project is rooted in a larger research effort on BRICS National Innovation Systems being developed in the sphere of the Global Research Network for Learning, Innovation and Competence Building Systems — Globelics. The Globelics initiative on BRICS brings together universities and other research institutions from Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. It seeks to
strengthen an original and less dependent thought, more appropriate to understanding development processes in less developed countries. First and foremost, we would like to thank Professor Bengt-Åke Lundvall, the coordinator of Globelics, who supported and promoted the BRICS project from the outset in 2003 and organised the First
International Workshop of the BRICS Project in Aalborg, Denmark, in 2006. Without his leadership and enthusiasm the project could not have taken off.
We owe special thanks to project researchers and coordinators for their engagement in project activities and accessibility which helped overcome diffi culties that naturally emerge from the geographical and cultural diversity of BRICS. We are also very grateful to the ones who provided the necessary administrative and secretarial support allowing the good performance of the project, especially Luiza Martins, Fabiane da Costa Morais, Tatiane da Costa Morais, and Eliane Alves who helped in editing activities and whose support was crucial for formatting book manuscripts and organizing tables and figures. Max dos Santos provided the technical IT support for the research network
