This handbook looks to provide academics and students with a comprehensive and holistic understanding of the phenomenon of innovation. Innovation spans a number of fields within the social sciences and humanities: Management, Economics, Geography, Sociology, Politics, Psychology, and History. Consequently, the rapidly increasing body of literature on innovation is characterized by a multitude of perspectives based on, or cutting across, existing disciplines and specializations. Scholars of innovation can come from such diverse starting points that much of this literature can be missed, and so constructive dialogues missed. The editors of The Oxford Handbook of Innovation have carefully selected and designed twenty-one contributions from leading academic experts within their particular field, each focusing on a specific aspect of innovation. These have been organized into four main sections, the first of which looks at the creation of innovations, with particular focus on firms and networks. Section Two provides an account of the wider systematic setting influencing innovation and the role of institutions and organizations in this context. Section Three explores some of the diversity in the working of innovation over time and across different sectors of the economy, and Section Four focuses on the consequences of innovation with respect to economic growth, international competitiveness, and employment. An introductory overview, concluding remarks, and guide to further reading for each chapter, make this handbook a key introduction and vital reference work for researchers, academics, and advanced students of innovation.

Sustainability transitions: an emerging field of research and its prospects

The East Asian miracle: Economic growth and public policy: By the World Bank. (New York: Oxford University Press for the World Bank, 1993. 389 pp. $19.95, paper.)

Models that depict innovation as a smooth, well-behaved linear process badly misspecify the nature and direction of the causal factors at work. Innovation is complex, uncertain, somewhat disorderly, and subject to changes of many sorts. Innovation is also difficult to measure and demands close coordination of adequate technical knowledge and excellent market judgment in order to satisfy economic, technological, and other types of constraints—all simultaneously. The process of innovation must be viewed as a series of changes in a complete system not only of hardware, but also of market environment, production facilities and knowledge, and the social contexts of the innovation organization.

Emergence and development of the National Innovation Systems concept

The key principles of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government guidelines on procurement adhere to the general spirit of the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement. Moreover, the government has not been particularly keen to promote innovation, and it has only been during the last decade that explicit, but limited, innovation policies have come into existence. Nevertheless, some public organizations have found a need to use innovation to improve services and operational efficiency, and thus have launched projects that required innovation in both technology and management, and in which a strong hand in demand management was necessary for successful implementation. This chapter discusses the case of the Octopus Card project initiated in 1994 by the public Mass Transit Railway Corporation against a backdrop of procurement and innovation-policy history in Hong Kong. The chapter describes how successful public procurement of an innovative RFID smart-card system for transportation fees led to a widespread diffusion and diversification of business activity related to RFID cards. The conclusion is that public procurement to support innovation can be successful in Hong Kong, and the effects of the current lack of active policies to encourage demand for innovation represents lost opportunities to enhance the competitiveness of the economy.

Manufacturing dynamics and spillovers: The case of Guangdong Province and Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan (HKMT)

This paper assesses collaborative innovation activity undertaken by universities in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China. The theoretical background references the systems of innovation approach and the triple helix model of university-industry-government interaction. The paper reviews Hong Kong's tertiary education system and the role of science and technology development in Shenzhen and Mainland China. Focusing on knowledge transfer between university research facilities, research institutes, industry, and government, the paper profiles key collaborative innovation programmes and documents an emerging trend in innovation strategy that utilises innovation collaboration to spawn startup businesses in China. Although we find no definite pattern of university-industry-government collaboration, we identify a range of specific competitive advantages associated with each of Hong Kong's universities that drive their innovation-related collaboration with institutions and firms in other sectors.
