Abstract
This book is about innovation, what it is and how it is measured, the use of indicators in policy and the policy learning that results. Framework conditions such as market regulation and the cost of doing business are examined. The book considers innovation strategies for a global economy, their development, implementation, measurement and management. Innovation systems are global, complex, dynamic and non-linear in response to policy intervention. Thus the focus turns to a science of innovation policy, essential to an understanding of non- linear innovation systems sufficient to support policy learning and effective intervention.
