Edited by John Storey, Open University, UK

'This collection of articles will provide readers with a broad-based review of current thinking on the role innovation plays within the corporate world. Any of the sections can be used as a stand-alone resource. The authors are well respected and the journals that were consulted are mostly peer-reviewed and authoritative. This book would be a good addition to university economic and business library collections.'
