Edited by Blandine Laperche, Lab.RII -ULCO, Clersé CNRS University Lille Nord de France, France, Dimitri Uzunidis, Lab.RII -ULCO, Clersé CNRS University Lille Nord de France, France and the late G.N. von Tunzelmann, formerly Professor in the Economics of Science and Technology, SPRU – Science and Technology Policy Research, University of Sussex, UK

The genesis and diffusion of innovation depends upon the density of the cognitive and market relationships among individuals, organisations and institutions at both the micro- and macro-economic level. By addressing the nature of these relationships, which include cooperation, competition and power, this book presents an important and progressive enquiry into the economic and social origins of innovation.

‘. . . A high quality book that will be of use and interest to students of technology policy.’
