      abstract = {Increasingly, researchers and policymakers alike recognize  that innovations are generated by complex and dynamic  national ecosystems that include government, industry,  universities and schools. Because these systems differ by  country and are strongly influenced by culture, effective  policy and research strategies require a systems approach,  in which policy consensus is built on a clear understanding  of how each nation’s innovation ecosystem functions.  This  book outlines a unique methodology for constructing visual  maps of national innovation ecosystems. The authors provide  completed maps for six countries (Israel, Poland, Germany,  France, Spain and Singapore), and two regions (Greater  Toronto and ZhiangJiang Technology Park in Shanghai), along  with detailed breakdowns of the policy implications  emerging from each. These in-depth examples and a clear  methodological approach offer a comprehensive guide for  constructing visual portrayals of innovation systems and  demonstrate why this is a vital exercise.  Scholars and  students of innovation and management will find this book  an invaluable resource, as will innovation policymakers  across the world.},
