THE EVALUATION OF GOVERNMENT POLICIES FOR INNOVATION

Michael Gibbons

Review of Policy Research, 1984, vol. 3, issue 3‐4, 476-482

Abstract: This article is based on two premises: current innovation polices are based on very limited understanding of how Innovation occurs and the contribution to understanding that available policy research might make is severely limited by its fragmentation. The author cites Nelson's three models of the policy process as an example of the different paradigms that have guided innovation research. But, he argues, new developments suggest that the rigid boundaries are breaking down. Three examples are offered in support, each nominally based in one of the three paradigms but representing a loosening of its strictures.
