As the economies of western countries move from primarily
resource-based to knowledge-based, and trade liberalization limits
what governments can do through direct action, the landscape of
innovation is changing and policymakers must react accordingly.
This exciting new book examines the challenges that policy makers
face in responding to a new environment. The book addresses how
governments are now seeking to drive innovation through new forms
of R&D policies, through public procurement, skills
development, entrepreneurship and innovation culture to name but a
few of the approaches. Innovation Policy Challenges for the 21st
Century explores these and other contemporary issues in innovation,
reviewing the state of the art literature and consolidating current
thinking at the frontiers of innovation. The volume debates and
presents scattered and anonymous material in a coherent way, with a
particular focus is on 'hot topics' in the field of innovation
studies that have been previously under-researched. The book is
divided into four key themes: government as a key actor in the
innovation process, entrepreneurs as innovators, skills and
competences required to maintain and improve innovation performance
in Europe and finally, the wider context in which innovation policy
develops.
