This handbook looks to provide academics and students with a
comprehensive and holistic understanding of the phenomenon of
innovation.
Innovation spans a number of fields within the social sciences and
humanities: Management, Economics, Geography, Sociology, Politics,
Psychology, and History. Consequently, the rapidly increasing body
of literature on innovation is characterized by a multitude of
perspectives based on, or cutting across, existing disciplines and
specializations. Scholars of innovation can come from such diverse
starting points that much of this literature can be missed, and so
constructive dialogues missed.
The editors of The Oxford Handbook of Innovation have carefully
selected and designed twenty-one contributions from leading
academic experts within their particular field, each focusing on a
specific aspect of innovation. These have been organized into four
main sections, the first of which looks at the creation of
innovations, with particular focus on firms and networks. Section
Two provides an account of the wider systematic setting influencing
innovation and the role of institutions and organizations in this
context. Section Three explores some of the diversity in the
working of innovation over time and across different sectors of the
economy, and Section Four focuses on the consequences of innovation
with respect to economic growth, international competitiveness, and
employment.
An introductory overview, concluding remarks, and guide to further
reading for each chapter, make this handbook a key introduction and
vital reference work for researchers, academics, and advanced
students of innovation.
