Abstract
The presentation of innovation policy in
this volume offers a detailed conceptual framework for
understanding and learning about technology innovation
policies and programs and their implementation in different
countries. Inspired by the experience of both developed and
developing countries, the book focuses on the latter's
needs and issues. The publication's main audience is
the policy-making community. It includes not only those who
are directly involved with technology, industry, science,
and education but also those in charge of finance and
economics, and indeed the top government leadership, which
plays a crucial role in successful innovation policies. This
overview follows the organization of the volume, which is
divided into parts and chapters. Before a summary of the
individual chapters, however, the main messages that emerge
from the volume as a whole are briefly presented. The
approach to innovation policy proposed in this volume
revolves around the basic questions: why? What? How?
