Summary Innovation, or the introduction of all kinds of novelties into the economy, became a real subject of study in the second half of the 20th century and, from the 1970s onwards, it became part of university curricula in economics, management, sociology, engineering, etc. Innovation is the intersection of three key themes: growth, technical change, and changes in the behavior and performance of firms and public organizations. This book presents the latest work in the economics and management of innovation and combines theoretical analysis with the description of various salient realities drawn from business, science, technology and institutions. It presents a broad vision of innovation based on the study of innovation actors (entrepreneurs, firms, the State, financial institutions, research laboratories, etc.), on the analysis of innovation mesosystems (networks, sectors, territories), and on the foundations of public policies for innovation. The authors deal in a didactic way, with a historical and prospective view, with the problems linked to the stakes (risks and opportunities) of the mutation of the current modes of production, consumption and organization of the economic and social activity.
