In a remarkable way the course of New Zealand's technological development over the next 80 years was spelled out in the first volume of the NZ Journal of Science & Technology published in 1918. The era ended with the advent of the Think Big projects. The authors of the articles were drawn from a new breed of technologists with formal training in science and engineering and a belief in systematic research and development. Three of them, all engineers, are noteworthy as trailblazers who established technologists as central figures in New Zealand's economic development.

In the past decade, there has been a rapid rise and recognition of technology clusters, innovation hubs, and technology precincts. Clusters are not a new phenomenon, and they are considered to promote specialised activities within local regions to allow networks of associated firms to develop their productivity and innovation for global competition. This thesis examined Level Two, a deep technology cluster in Auckland, New Zealand. The purpose of this study was to determine how Level Two, has impacted the New Zealand economy. Specifically, the research develops the history of Level Two including past and present firms that are part of the cluster. The key questions that direct this study are: How has the Level Two cluster impacted the New Zealand economy? How has the Level Two cluster impacted firms that are or were part of the cluster? The study followed a qualitative case study methodology and utilised semi-structured interviews as the primary data collection source. There was a secondary data gathering phase in order to provide supporting evidence and to gather basic information regarding the cluster and associated firms to build the case. Sixteen interviews were conducted and evidence supporting the high-level themes of variation, effectiveness and measures of success for a cluster are presented in the primary findings. The findings were discussed in relation to the literature and case description. The research found that the Level Two cluster has significantly impacted the New Zealand economy by providing a space that was needed by deep technology start-ups and companies in the growthstage. The firms associated with the Level Two cluster have led to just under NZ$1 billion in economic growth for the New Zealand economy. Level Two has had a significant impact on tenant firms leading to increased pace of development and providing access to networks among other benefits.

In a brilliant intellectual adventure that ranges from David Ricardo and Adam Smith to economic geography and the science of complex networks, Shaun Hendy and Paul Callaghan explore how New Zealanders can learn to live off knowledge rather than nature. The key to increasing New Zealand's prosperity, they argue, is innovation in high-tech niches. To catch up with the countries that lure young Kiwis away, New Zealand needs to start innovating like a city of four million people; it needs to start taking science seriously; it needs to start seeing its people as people of learning, not just of the land. Get off the Grass provides a readable introduction to a wide variety of ideas including economic geography, network theory, and complexity theory; offers unique insights into the New Zealand economy and its long-term prospects; adds to current debates worldwide about innovation, science, economic growth, and networks.

Information technology accounts for over one-third of recent U.S. GDP growth and nearly two-thirds of corporate capital investment. ''The New Economy'' appears omnipresent, but little is actually known about its workings. This seminal volume brings together the research and critical thinking of many of the world's top macro and micro economists to provide a unique, multifaceted perspective. Through the use of detailed, up-to-date country and industry studies, this book provides the most authoritative and detailed analysis ever assembled into the causes of technological innovation and its relationship to economic performance. The country studies cover the United States, Japan, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the Nordic states. Nine industry studies examine the Internet, computers and semiconductors, banking, securities trading, venture capital, energy, agricultural biotechnology, pharmaceutical biotechnology, and automobiles. Commissioned and brought together for the research project by the world-renowned Council on Foreign Relations, the authors have produced one of the most important compendia in applied economics to be published in recent times. The contributors are Charles Calomiris, Ian Domowitz, Robert Evenson, Charles Fine, Robert Gordon, Richard Langlois, Josh Lerner, Markku Malkamäki, Patrick Messerlin, Joel Mokyr, David Mowery, Richard R. Nelson, Stephen Nickell, Gary Pisano, Adam Posen, Daniel Raff, Horst Siebert, Timothy Simcoe, Benn Steil, Michael Stolpe, John Van Reenen, David Victor, and Matti Virén.

Scholars of International Political Economy find themselves increasingly preoccupied with the ways governments can engage with the private sector to drive economic growth. This is particularly the case in a world of new challenges to governing economies such as globalization. In recent decades another concern has arisen; how to halt or reverse the process of climate change. Green Growth presents an approach that aims to tackle these two concerns simultaneously. Green Growth occurs where a country shifts its production to green technologies to meet environmental concerns while helping to sustain economic growth. This thesis poses two core questions: Why has New Zealand failed to grow a successful green technology industry and why has New Zealand's consideration of 'green growth' strategies so lacked a focus on techno-industrial development? By examining the worldviews of policymakers and industrial actors and the underpinnings of government-business relations, I argue that the New Zealand Government's lack of any serious attempt to pursue technology-based climate change mitigating initiatives is primarily due to a lack of governed interdependence in green growth sectors. Specifically, I argue that successive governments have displayed an inconsistent ideological position; veering from an activist state to a market-led approach to strengthening the country's techno-industrial base and developing green technologies. Consequently, the coordination of high-technology initiatives in green growth involving domestic companies has been institutionally weak. Overall, the New Zealand government's approach to 'green growth without technological innovation' can be understood as a continuation of the ideological inconsistency and institutional incapacity of successive governments since the 1970s. In order to further illuminate the New Zealand case, New Zealand's approach to the consideration of green growth is contrasted with that of Korea, a country that was an early mover in this area. Unlike New Zealand, Korea is shown to pursue green growth through governed interdependence between government and business, an approach which thus far appears to be achieving success. In posing this argument, this thesis aims to contribute to two important debates. Firstly, the treatment of New Zealand as a Liberal Market Economy in existing literature and the relationship between institutions and technology-based climate change mitigation strategies. Together, these findings will help to inform further debates about the role of governments and business in bringing about economic growth in a world where 'green' considerations are becoming increasingly important.

Innovation, generally based on curiosity and intuition, is defined as a discovery, invention and an R&D process that brings solutions to a social, environmental and technological problem and also that creates value and meets communal needs in product, process, market, organizational and socialfields. All over the world, investments are based on capital accumulation; the idea of having more output with less input is based on production info; and technologies, production volume, the rise of motivation are based on labor force and therefore, they are all accepted as indicators of economic growth. Capital accumulation, technological developments and increase in labor force constitute the main dynamics of growth of the global world economy. Technological progress doesn’t only provide high output and productivity but it also creates economic growth. Since growth in economic sense corresponds to the rise in tools and products that are used to meet human needs, innovations create new employment and business lines at this point. On the other hand; innovations, in social sense, fight against poverty, inequality and also exclusion being related to them. Innovations offer technological, effective, productive and sustainable solutions to these problems in social sense. While developed countries that are more advanced in technology and economic growth, constitute only one fifth of the world population, they use four of five of the world resources and therefore, the gap between developing countries and them is increasing everyday. This situation is seen as an obstacle in front of the aim of a sustainable world. Since the direction of technological innovation is determined by social and economic needs, innovation types such as radical (disruptive), incremental, contrary, operational and marketing innovations create an effect of leverage with its niche role in sustainable development. Many problems, which are untouched in economic, social and technological senses and also which are seen desperate to solve, can only be solved through paradigm-shifting and disruptive (radical) innovations that should be applied in a way that will break the existing taboos. Disruptive innovations create new business lines by bringing radical solutions for the problems that seem unsolvable and stepwise (incremental, staggered) innovations strenghten the sub-innovations in these new businesslines. At this point; opening the way for innovations, attaching importance to creative ideas to increase efficiency, evaluating the contribution of innovation and also managing the processes well are quite important in innovation management. The authors in this book consider innovations in different fields by evaluating the effects of innovations on labor market, society and economy in order to manage the process well and contribute to it
