Reviews / Votes
'This volume offers novel perspectives to expand our understanding of the the innovation process. The chapters argue that innovation needs to help solve a wider range of economic, environmental and social challenges. To do so, requires a more wholistic and systemic concept of innovation and a better understanding of how innovation is shaped by a complex of institutional forces in society.' -- David A. Wolfe, University of Toronto, Canada 'Innovations in Innovation Policy showcases an impressive breadth of academic expertise, featuring insights from over 30 scholars in innovation studies. This collection spans crucial themes from co-creation and the circular economy to responsible innovation and metascience. It's an essential resource for academics, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to understand and shape innovation ecosystems.' -- Elvira Uyarra, University of Manchester, UKMore details
