In macro-, meso- and micro-economic systems, the concept of innovation involves a variety of resources and functions. It includes all formal and informal institutions, networks and actors that influence innovation and act as innovation boosters within companies, at the territorial level, at the level of innovation networks or in national economies.
“Collective innovation” is understood from the perspective of building innovation capacities and learning processes through intra- and inter-network relations. Innovation collectives (researchers, engineers, entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial or financial partners, research labs, start-ups, public administration, financial means, innovation networks, consumers and citizens’ associations) strive for the acquisition, development, diffusion and productive use of scientific and technological knowledge.
This book deals with innovation in a globalized context in terms of the entrepreneur, enterprise, territorial and sectoral systems and national systems of innovation in which collective innovation processes are formed.
