Abstract: Abstract The study of innovation is just beginning to pass from the ‘wisdom-writing’ stage to the collection of quantitative data. Many problems remain to be overcome before such data become accepted as being truly descriptive of reality. For example, attempts to measure the efficiency of research and development in terms of the patents produced per qualified worker have obvious limitations. Without such attempts, however, ‘research into research’ is not likely to progress.
