About this book

This book gathers a diverse range of novel research on modeling innovation policies for sustainable economic development, based on a selection of papers from a conference on modeling innovation systems and technologies (MIST). It aims at encouraging interdisciplinary and comparative approaches, bringing together researchers and professionals interested in sustainable economic, technological development and open innovation, as well as their dissemination and practical application.

The respective contributions explore a variety of topics and cases, including regional innovation policy, the effects of open innovation on firms, innovation and sustainability in tourism, and the use of information and communication technologies. All chapters share a strong focus on new research and innovation methodologies, in keeping with the Experimentation and Application Research (EAR) and Open Innovation 2.0 principles.

Reviews

“The book is useful for graduate and undergraduate students and academic researchers as it contains detailed information about the concept of innovation and its applications in different disciplines to generate research ideas. This book can likewise facilitate government officials and executives of different organizations in applying innovative concepts and practices to different industries. The book is comprehensible as each part has a distinct theme and each chapter analyzes the topic in a straightforward manner.” (Sunny Sun and Rob Law, Information Technology & Tourism, Vol. 20, 2018)​
