The character of the economies in low- and middle-income countries is traditional, production-oriented, prosperity being planned through extensive measures to increase agricultural production, housing construction, and the establishment of traditional factories. In the current context of economic globalization, it is necessary for these countries to focus on the real sources of prosperity and capital in the new era, which are not represented by material goods, but by human thinking, knowledge and innovation. This is a fundamental change in the economic model, in which the emphasis is on the development of intangible resources, inventions and know-how, and on their transformation into sources of innovation. The phrase “knowledge-based society” emphasizes this new orientation. The objective of this paper is to present the development of an innovative module “Innovation Management in Low- and Middle-Income Countries” which is composed of 8 lectures that describe specific aspects of innovation management in these economies. General objective of the module is to develop a supplementary training material in order to aid the delivery of innovation and entrepreneurship training and education, consisting in trainers’ methodological toolkits accompanying the open educational resources. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
