Innovation system revisited

Since the foundation of the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research in 1972, Fraunhofer ISI has adopted a systemic research perspective based on the heuristic concept of innovation systems. To mark ISI's 40th anniversary, this book offers an overview of current innovation system analyses in the field of conceptual and methodological issues from the national, technological, industrial, and regional perspective, and with regard to the public governance of innovation.
