’This volume is a valuable contribution to the growing literature on innovation systems and innovation policy. It gives the reader a strong grip on the latest thinking in the field on both sides of the Atlantic, while at the same time providing a solid grounding in the classics. I will certainly recommend these essays highly to my colleagues and assign them to my students.’
