Abstract

Innovation underpins the process of economic growth because it is intrinsically linked to changes in the systems of production and consumption. Indeed, the strong growth of national economies and social welfare systems does not occur simply by scaling up existing organizational activities and structures. Instead, it involves innovation-based endogenous and creative economic evolution processes that result in fundamental changes in the way organizations are structured, how they work, how they are governed and how relationships between different organizations are arranged.
