Abstract

The presentation reflects on components of innovation systems and innovation system frameworks, including a bias towards the manufacturing sector. Coexistence of a formal sector with a large and growing informal sector is characteristic of innovation in South Africa. Design, engineering and associated management capabilities can play a direct and critical role in adapting and modifying specifications for integration into processes and products. This can be considered a link between new knowledge, and production of goods and services.
