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.

Short description:
This collection provides detailed analyses of topics that are crucial for understanding innovation.
MoreLong description:
Innovation has become a major field of study in economics, management, sociology, science and technology, and history. Case studies, empirical models, appreciative analyses and formal theories abound. However, after several decades of study on innovation, and so many different types of contribution, there are still many phenomena we know very little about. The debate on innovation still has much to deliver; important questions remain unanswered and many problems require solution. Bringing together many leading figures in the field, this collection aims to address these concerns by offering detailed analyses of topics that are crucial for understanding innovation. In addition, it offers discussions of topics that researchers are just beginning to explore and of topics that continue to defy our efforts to understand and systematise. This important and wide-ranging collection will be essential reading for academic researchers and graduate students who wish to gain a broad overview of frontier-research in innovation.
'Research on the economics of innovation has enjoyed a remarkable resurgence in recent years. In this volume, leading scholars in the field focus on gaps in our understanding of innovation, rather than summarizing what is known. Its emphasis on gaps in knowledge, combined with the broad perspectives that deal with industrial dynamics, technology policy, firm strategy, and institutional issues, make this volume indispensable to scholars and students alike.' David Mowery, William A. and Betty H. Hasler Professor of New Enterprise Development, University of California at Berkeley
