      title = {Mapping National Innovation Ecosystems : Foundations for  Policy Consensus.},
      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.},
