Knowledge, Innovation and Economic Growth

Reviews / Votes

'I recommend the book . . . the book succeeds in clarifying some important aspects of the very fuzzy concept of learning regions.' -- Roberta Capello, Papers in Regional Science 'The book will serve as a valuable source for all readers interested in the relation between knowledge generation, learning and regions. It is very accessible even for readers who are not familiar with the current literature. In contrast to many edited collections, the structure of the book is coherent and goes beyond a mere gathering of individual papers. Indeed, the individual contributions sum up - with the valuable help of the excellent introduction and conclusion - to a 'whole' picture . . . the book provides a very readable account of the growing literature on knowledge, learning and regions. It also offers valuable material on policy concepts, examples of policy strategies as well as empirical material.' -- Helmut Gassler, Journal of Technology Transfer '. . . I would like to recommend the book to scholars and policymakers who are interested in learning, economic development and regional innovation policies in a broad sense.' -- Robert Hassink, Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie 'These are the papers from an international seminar held in March 1998, giving an interesting mix of theoretical, empirical and practical contributions.' -- Aslib Book Guide
