Creating Wealth from Knowledge

Edited by John Bessant and Tim Venables

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This book illustrates that, although innovation has always mattered in economic development, simply increasing expenditure in creating knowledge may not be the answer: we need to look at the whole system through which such knowledge translates to value creation.
