Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Innovation is increasingly recognized as a vitally important social and economic phenomenon worthy of serious research study. Firms are concerned about their innovation ability, particularly relative to their competitors. Politicians care about innovation, too, because of its presumed social and economic impact. However, to recognize that innovation is desirable is not sufficient. What is required is systematic and reliable knowledge about how best to influence innovation and to exploit its effects to the full.
Gaining such knowledge is the aim of the field of innovation studies, which is now at least half a century old. Hence, it is an opportune time to ask what has been achieved and what we still need to know more about. This is what this book sets out to explore. Written by a number of central contributors to the field, it critically examines the current state of the art and identifies issues that merit greater attention. The focus is mainly on how society can derive the greatest benefit from innovation and what needs to done to achieve this. However, to learn more about how society can benefit more from innovation, one also needs to understand innovation processes in firms and how these interact with broader social, institutional and political factors. Such issues are therefore also central to the discussion here.
Innovation studies: Evolution & Future Challenges collects the current ideas of several key authors such as Jan Fagerberg, B-A Lundvall and Ben Martin in the field of Innovation studies. The book is organized in two main sections that summarise the state-of-art of a domain that is almost half-century-old. Firstly, this collective book systematizes the evolution and development of the study of innovation, facilitating its differentiation to other related and adjacent domains like Science and Technology Studies and Entrepreneurship studies. Secondly, it presents the main challenges for Innovation studies in years ahead encompassing new debates, concepts and analyses. Innovation studies is relevant for all those focusing in the understanding of the innovation phenomena. It is particularly relevant for those that are entering in the field and need a roadmap for exploration.
