Synopsis

Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world’s leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.

This illuminating book explores how societies reshape themselves through innovation, reviewing methods for foreseeing, guiding and evaluating these changes. It demonstrates how a community can use shared goals and priorities to promote and pursue outcome-oriented public values innovation.

John Nelson and Barry Bozeman examine the impacts of innovation on public values such as economic prosperity and equity, national security, public health and safety, and environmental wellbeing. They discuss the positive and negative features of these impacts, including job creation and destruction, economic restructuring, shifting circumstances for conventional warfare and cyberattacks, and pollution output or remediation. The Advanced Introduction to Innovation and Public Values synthesizes existing social and policy scholarship into practical guidance, advocating for innovation that advances prosperity, health, and liberty for all citizens.

Key Features:

• Articulates the novel concept of ‘public values innovation’ to assess the impact of innovation systems on public priorities
• Outlines frameworks by which governments, corporations and civil society shape the aims, content and outcomes of innovation
• Investigates the role of existing innovation systems, which run primarily through markets and private corporations, in shaping innovation outcomes―sometimes to public detriment

Students and scholars of organisational innovation, the economics of innovation, public policy and administration, engineering, and the sciences will greatly benefit from this insightful book. It is also an essential resource for policymakers and practitioners in public, private, and nonprofit innovation policy and management.
