Book Description
Innovation and Institutions is an extensive elaboration on the make up of systems of innovation. It examines why some countries are more innovative than others, why national styles of innovation differ, and goes on to explore why some countries make radical innovations but fail to successfully market them, while others making incremental innovations have more commercial success. The book draws on a variety of different literatures and perspectives to illustrate the organizational and institutional dimensions of national innovation systems. Literatures discussed include the economics of innovation, organizational sociology, administrative science, institutional economics, organizational learning network analysis, business systems, economic governance and regulation. This truly interdisciplinary book will be invaluable to academics and researchers focusing on innovation in a wide range of fields. It will also strongly appeal to practitioners and policymakers concerned with innovation.
