Assignment 2
The purpose of this assignment is to become familiar with sources of indicators and data on innovation dynamics. Furthermore, the real challenge is to elaborate on these facts under time pressure.
A suggested list of countries includes: China, Korea, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, India, Taiwan, Singapore, South Africa, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Each student is free to choose a country, as long as it is not covered by someone else. Having a wide selection of countries will be useful for our collective learning.
