This critical addition to the growing literature on innovation
contains extensive analyses of the institutional and spatial
aspects of innovation. Written by leading scholars in the fields of
economic geography, innovation studies, planning, and technology
policy, the fourteen chapters cover conceptual and measurement
issues in innovation and relevant technology policies. The
contributors examine how different institutional factors facilitate
or hamper the flows of information and knowledge within and across
firms, regions, and nations. In particular, they provide insights
into the roles of important institutions such as gender and culture
which are often neglected in the innovation literature, and
demonstrate the key role which geography plays in the innovation
process. Institutions and policy measures which support
entrepreneurship and cluster development are also discussed. The
result is a comparative picture of the institutional factors
underlying innovation systems across the globe.
