Today, economic growth is widely understood to be conditioned by
productivity increases which are, in turn, profoundly affected by
innovation. This volume explores these key relationships between
innovation and growth, bringing together experts from both fields
to compile a unique Handbook. The Handbook considers innovation
from fresh perspectives, encompassing topics such as services
innovation, inward investment and innovation, creative industry
innovation and green innovation. It is divided into seven sections,
dealing with regional innovation and growth theory, dynamics,
evolution, agglomeration, innovation 'worlds', innovation system
institutions, and innovation governance and policy. This definitive
compendium on regional innovation and growth will undoubtedly
appeal to teachers, students, researchers and practitioners of
innovation and growth dynamics worldwide. Contributors: M. Abreu,

Development specialists often overlook the feet that the towns of a
rural region play as essential a role in the region's economy as
does agriculture, and they design and implement broad strategies
without due recognition of the unique and dynamic character of each
individual region. Proper analysis requires consideration of the
changing nature of rural regions and the principal agents of
change. The contributors to this volume argue that development
strategists should focus on processes rather than on products by
taking the nonfarm aspects, as well as the farm aspects, of rural
development into account and by recognizing that land, labor,
water, and technology do not alone lead to balanced regional and
agricultural development. The analytical approaches presented in
this book incorporate wide-ranging variables from the urban space
of rural regions-markets, towns, service industries, and
organizations-that have major impacts on the rural regional
economy. These methodologies aim at improving rural regional
development processes.
This unique book focuses on regional creativity, analysing the
different factors that can affect creativity and innovation process
within regions in the knowledge economy. Approaching creativity
from technological, organizational and regional viewpoints, it
attempts to break down the influence of oppositional approaches and
take account of multi-level interactions in economy and policy. The
variety of papers presented looks at: how regions can be creative
and competitive how research and development is outsourced and the
scientific knowledge and technology transferred what types of
technology based cultural activities can operate the relevant
financing and development of knowledge entrepreneurship. Whilst
many of these aspects are driven by market forces Creative Regions
demonstrates that the regional and national public sectors have a
significant role to play and is essential reading on how to
generate a competitive advantage for regions in the knowledge
economy in the global market.
