The role of Innovation and Technology Transfer in the Ethiopian cut-flower export sector

theme Theme 1: Micro-based evidence research on innovation and technological change 
time frame 2008-2009 
researcher(s) Mulu Gebreeyesus
description In less than 7 years, Ethiopia has become the second largest cut-flower exporter in Africa, behind the much more established flower sector in Kenya. This project aims at analysing the triggering factor for the rapid growth of the flower sector in Ethiopia and how this success translates to the country’s overall industrial strategy and institutional environment. It also seeks to understand the effect of the growing governance of global value chain and tranasaction cost on the sustainability of non-traditional export commodity from developing countries.
