Revue de presse :

'A great book to understand and foster innovation at all levels: a truly innovative piece of work.' --- Enrico Giovannini, Minister of Labour and Social Policies, Italy

'This book brings together original contributions from world leading experts on innovation indicators and is unique in several respects. First, the focus is upon innovation in terms of commercialized products and processes and not on secondary indicators of research or patenting. Second, it combines academic perspectives with user perspectives from industry and international organizations. Third, it strikes a good balance between old and new indicators, opening up new dimensions of innovation for measuring. It is a book worth reading for scholars studying innovation, for policy makers and, not least, for innovation managers in the private sector.' --- Bengt-Ake Lundvall, Aalborg University, Denmark and Sciences-Po, Paris, France

'This book is a remarkable guide to why innovation matters, why good innovation statistics and indicators are essential guides for effective innovation strategies and policy interventions, and where innovation statistics have to go next.' --- David Crane, Research Money
