National Systems of Innovation in Comparison: Structure and Performance Indicators for Knowledge Societies

by U. Schmoch (Editor), Christian Rammer (Editor), Harald Legler (Editor)

The concept of National Systems of Innovation was introduced as a method to describe the various elements which contribute to innovation performance and their interaction. In this book, the innovation structures of a broad set of countries are compared. It provides more than a pure compilation of quantitative indicators for international benchmarking, supporting an appropriate interpretation of the referring results and suggesting relevant conclusions for innovation policy.
