Innovation Systems and Industrial Performance Germany in International Perspective

Karin Wagner and Geoff Mason

Industry and Innovation, 1999, vol. 6, issue 1, 1-4

Abstract: How do national-institutional structures affect the ability of enterprises to respond to increased competitive pressures in product markets and a speeding-up of product life-cycles? The papers in this special issue explore the workings of national, regional and sectoral innovation systems of which German enterprises, universities and other organizations form part. They suggest that while some high-tech market niches are well suited to German strengths in incremental innovation, the German institutional setting tends not to favour high-risk innovation strategies in newly emerging technologies
