A great book to understand and foster innovation at all levels: a
truly innovative piece of work.' - Enrico Giovannini, Minister of
Labour and Social Policies, Italy'This book brings together
original contributions from world leading experts on innovation
indicators and is unique in several respects. First, the focus is
upon innovation in terms of commercialized products and processes
and not on secondary indicators of research or patenting. Second,
it combines academic perspectives with user perspectives from
industry and international organizations. Third, it strikes a good
balance between old and new indicators, opening up new dimensions
of innovation for measuring. It is a book worth reading for
scholars studying innovation, for policy makers and, not least, for
innovation managers in the private sector.' - Bengt-Ake Lundvall,
Aalborg University, Denmark and Sciences-Po, Paris, France This
Handbook comprehensively examines indicators and statistical
measurement related to innovation (as defined in the OECD/Eurostat
Oslo Manual). It deals with the development and the use of
innovation indicators to support decision-making and is written by
authors who are practitioners, who know what works and what does
not, in order to improve the development of indicators to satisfy
future policy needs. This unique volume presents: - the historical
and geographical context for innovation indicators and measurement
- practical examples of how measurement is actually undertaken -
new areas of innovation indicators and measurement, including
consumer innovation, public sector innovation and social
innovation. This informative Handbook will appeal to policy makers
in government departments, statistical offices and research
institutes and international organizations such as the EU, OECD and
the UN, as well as university departments of economics, sociology,
law, science and technology, and public policy. Contributors: E.
