Governance of Innovation Systems: Synthesis Report

Stimulating innovation is a key task for achieving sustainable economic growth. However, recent developments have demonstrated that prevailing practices and institutions of innovation governance have come under pressure. This publication examines the sources of these pressures, and provides lessons on how governments adapt their governance practices to achieve better coherence and co-ordination of policies to promote innovation. The changes under way point to the emergence of a "third generation" of innovation policy: a broadly based, strategic policy area, crossing traditional ministerial boundaries.Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Staff is the author of 'Governance of Innovation Systems: Synthesis Report', published 2005 under ISBN 9789264011021 and ISBN 9264011021.
