Emerging Powers: India, Brazil and South Africa (IBSA) and the Future of South-South Cooperation Author: Paulo Sotero, Carey Carpenter, Francisco Figueiredo de Souza; Francis A. Kornegay; Ummu Salma Bava; and Alcides Costa Vaz Due to the current trends of political and economic restructuring, South-South cooperation is expected to play an increasingly important role in the post-recession world.

Conference Reports and Books Published or co-published by the Brazil Institute Innovation in Brazil: Public Policies and Business Strategies Author: Ricardo Sennes , Managing Partner at Prospectiva Consulting Three key concepts have emerged from a series of five seminars, jointly hosted by the Brazil Institute and Prospectiva Consultoria of São Paulo, on the promotion of innovation in Brazil. First, innovation must be broadly defined, extending beyond applied research activities. Secondly, it is imperative that public policies and private strategies complement and interact with each other in order to create an environment conducive to generating innovative ideas. Finally, because innovation takes place against the backdrop of increasingly internationalized markets and competitive differentials, it no longer makes sense to think of innovation as an exclusively domestic venture. In this publication, Ricardo Sennes, keeping these three themes in mind, describes and analyzes the public policies and business strategies that promote innovation in Brazil.

Antes de tudo, a inovação deve ser definida amplamente, estendendo além das atividades de pesquisa aplicada. Segundo, é imperativo que políticas públicas e estratégias privadas sejam complementárias e interajam em maneiras conducentes para à geração de novas idéias. Finalmente, por realizar-se no contexto de mercados cada vez mais internacionais e competitivos, hoje em dia não é lógico pensar na inovação como um empreendimento exclusivamente doméstico. Nesta publicação, Ricardo Sennes, considerando estes temas, descreve e analisa as políticas públicas e as estratégias privadas que promovem a inovação no Brasil. Download File (pdf)
