Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the Global Economy: Knowledge, Technology and Internationalization

摘要

In a stimulating and original book Karlsson, Grasjo and Wixe explore some of the key drivers and elements of innovation and entrepreneurship by providing a mixture of perspectives for explaining the complex and diverse interplay between innovation, entrepreneurship, and internationalization. Although these relationships have been subject of considerable scholarship, by exploring simultaneously the meso and micro economic drivers on innovation and entrepreneurship in the global economy, the objective of this edited book is to contribute with substantial theoretical and empirical perspectives into several research topics including the economics of innovation and entrepreneurship, regional and international economics, and economic geography as facilitators of growth and development in the global economy. The editors have compiled this book by incorporating a selection of 13 papers across a breadth of topics that presented at the 16th Uddevalla Symposium, which has held in Kansas City in June 2013. The book is divided into three clearly delineated parts: innovation, entrepreneurship and internationalization.
