Abstract

Innovation, a function of knowledge and its diffusion, is an important driver of competitiveness of firms and nations. This is the reason why many countries continue to place a growing emphasis on policies that spur it. Better understanding of the innovation process and its economic and development impact is crucial for all the actors involved in its realisation.
