基本説明
A comparative analysis of a dozen highly industrialized countries' innovation policies in the 1990s.
Full Description
During the 1990s, research and technological development policies moved from a "problem-solving" approach towards a wider one focusing on the systemic nature of the innovation process. This change can be featured as the transition from a technology policy towards an innovation policy. This book provides a comparative analysis of 11 highly industrialized countries' innovation policies in the 1990s, and addresses the nature, dynamics, causes and effects of this transition. By combining the analytical skills of sociologists, economists and political scientists the book sets up a novel framework for studying the evolution of this particular policy area by examining institutional change from a broader perspective.
