Innovation systems, innovation modes and processes of commercialization

Abstract

The papers presented in this volume are the main results of a strategic institute program organised during 2006-2007 at NIFU STEP on “Innovation processes in an evolutionary perspective”. The objective of the program has been to conduct theoretical studies of innovation processes based on an innovation system approach, partly by addressing rather broad issues relating to our more basic understanding of innovation systems, partly by addressing more specific systems and processes of innovation.
