Synopsis

This Handbook comprehensively examines indicators and statistical measurement related to innovation (as defined in the OECD/Eurostat Oslo Manual). It deals with the development and the use of innovation indicators to support decision-making and is written by authors who are practitioners, who know what works and what does not, in order to improve the development of indicators to satisfy future policy needs.

This unique volume presents:

• the historical and geographical context for innovation indicators and measurement
• practical examples of how measurement is actually undertaken
• new areas of innovation indicators and measurement, including consumer innovation, public sector innovation and social innovation.

This informative Handbook will appeal to policy makers in government departments, statistical offices and research institutes and international organizations such as the EU, OECD and the UN, as well as university departments of economics, sociology, law, science and technology, and public policy.
