Systems of Innovation: Growth, Competitiveness and Employment

Edited by Charles Edquist, Professor, CIRCLE, Lund University, Sweden and Maureen McKelvey, Professor, School of Business, Economics and Law, University of Gothenburg, Sweden

'. . . these two big volumes achieve to demonstrate that there is a strong interest in using a system approach in order to study the mechanisms of innovation, of building capabilities and of economic growth.'
