L'industria, 2013, issue 1, 93-122

Abstract: The aim of this paper is caused by the observation that a lot of available knowledge andinnovation isn't applied in production and in the final products, therefore it doesn't movein economic growth. In this way, the sensitive policies to research and innovation also, evenif they keep on a decisive factor in the scientific and cultural progress, lose effectiveness intransferring their benefits into the economy and the socioeconomic welfare. So a verification'sproblem ofthe basic conditions, so that the process of knowledge - innovation - growth is more effective and able to satisfy expectations of a fully - developed community, becomes necessary.One factor which is conclusive for the purpose is entrepreneurship, in a position to intervenewith incisiveness in the same process and to act as a point of junction between scientificand productive world. Clearly it's an innovative (not repetitive) entrepreneurship, as alreadyprefigured by Schumpeter at the beginning of the twentieth-century, but that's slow in takingoff still today, in spite of the many best practice that however continue to remain isolated casesof greatness. Then the main phases of the above - mentioned process are tested, in which anentrepreneurial behavior, as outlined in the text, could really bring a decisive effectiveness inthe economic impact of middle-long-term. Finally, the work closes with the proposal of somegeneral line of policy, able to increase the system's conditions to a change of the imitative entrepreneurialmentality, still diffused today.
