Industrial innovation is essential for national and corporate
competitiveness. Understanding the nature, determinants and
consequences of innovation is a key task of managers, public
policymakers and all students of industry and business. This major
new reference book brings together specially commissioned
contributions by many leading world experts on a wide range of
issues concerning innovation. The first section provides an
introduction to the significance and process of industrial
innovation, and to the contexts or 'systems' within which it
occurs. A series of sectoral and industrial studies is followed by
assessments of the key issues affecting innovation. Another section
examines one of the main constraints on successful innovation: the
strategic management of technology in both products and processes.
As well as the benefits of innovation, the problems and challenges
of the processes, management and outcomes of innovation are raised
throughout the book. Select bibliographies chosen by international
experts are included to ensure that this comprehensive reference
tool is an indispensable guide for students, scholars, innovators
and policymakers.

The encouragement of the birth and growth of high technology small
firms is a major goal of both national and regional government
planning agencies. However, while there is broad agreement on the
increasing value of this type of small firm to future industrial
expansion beyond the year 2000, there is little hard evidence on
which to base measures to encourage the rate of new firm formation
and subsequent growth. This book aids policy prescription by
providing a detailed study of regional variations in the management
of innovation in high technology small firms. The empirical
research considers all the major management factors that are inputs
to the innovation process through a time-series study of innovation
in British and American high technology small firms. In conclusion,
results of this study form the basis of a radical new policy
approach to the promotion of growth in high technology small firms.
