G.M. Peter Swann contends that innovation is one of the most important economic and business phenomena of our time and a topic of great practical and policy interest, with widespread implications for our economy and society. This book engages with the reader to explore some of the key economic issues concerning innovation. Bridging a gap in the literature, this timely textbook addresses critical questions such as: How should different aspects of innovation be described and classified? What are the incentives to innovate? How should firms organize themselves to promote innovation? What are the effects of innovation on the economy? Do governments have a role in supporting and guiding innovation? Introducing the student to a broad range of issues surrounding the economics of innovation, this text will prove invaluable to students on a variety of courses including economics, business and management, innovation, and science and technology studies. 000025702 650_0 $$aTechnological innovations$$xEconomic aspects. 000025702 650_0 $$aIntellectual property. 000025702 650_4 $$aInnovation 000025702 650_4 $$aIntellectual property 000025702 898__ $$a0003 000025702 905__ $$aHeBIS$$b<30/34> Universit?t Frankfurt, Bibliothek Recht und Wirtschaft 000025702 905__ $$aHeBIS$$b<17/45> Technische Universit?t Darmstadt, Volkswirtschaftliche Bibliothek 000025702 905__ $$aHeBIS$$b<26/331> Universit?t Gie?en, Fachbibliothek Wirtschaftswissenschaften / VWL I, Wettbewerbstheorie, Wettbewerbspolitik und Transportwirtschaft 000025702 905__ $$aHeBIS$$b<4/331> Universit?t Marburg, Bibliothek Wirtschaftswissenschaften (BW) 000025702 942__ $$cMON$$jF 191 SWA.E 000025702 952__ $$w2010-03-12$$p2010-0260$$r72.00$$u39755$$bMAIN$$10$$kF 191 SWA.E$$v2010-03-12$$zTagged$$71 000025702 980__ $$aBIB 000025702 999__ $$c28068$$d28068
