implementation of a new or significantly
improved product (good or service), or
process, a new marketing method, or a new
organisational method in business
practices, workplace organisation or external
relations.

 Innovation means technologies or practices that
are new to a given society. They are not
necessarily new in absolute terms. These
technologies or practices are being diffused in
that economy or society. This point is important:
what is not disseminated and used is not an
innovation. Dissemination is very significant and
requires particular attention in low- and
medium-income countries.
 Innovation is distinct from research and in fact
need not result from it. Innovations come from
the entrepreneurs who make them happen and
ultimately depend on a society’s receptiveness.

 .. the network of institutions in the public and private sectors whose
activities and interactions initiate, import, modify and diffuse new
technologies.[1]
 .. the elements and relationships which interact in the
production, diffusion and use of new, and economically
useful, knowledge ... and are either located within or rooted inside the
borders of a nation state.[2]
 ... a set of institutions whose interactions determine the innovative
performance ... of national firms.[3]
 .. the national institutions, their incentive structures and their
competencies, that determine the rate and direction of technological
learning (or the volume and composition of change generating activities)
in a country.[4]
 .. that set of distinct institutions which jointly and individually contribute
to the development and diffusion of new technologies and which
provides the framework within which governments form and implement
policies to influence the innovation process. As such it is a system of
interconnected institutions to create, store and transfer the
knowledge, skills and artefacts which define new technologies.[5]

OECD Innovation Strategy is built around five
priorities for government action:
 empowering people to innovate;
 unleashing innovation in firms;
 creating and applying knowledge;
 applying innovation to address global and
social challenges; and
 improving the governance and measurement
of policies for innovation.
 Policy needs to address:
◦ Knowledge supply
◦ Interactions between different players
◦ Ability of firms to learn
◦ Institutional design
◦ Management of demand side
◦ Technology acquisition, imitation and adaptation

1. Government efforts in the 1960s and 1970s were largely
inspired by a linear model of innovation and the idea that
science and research needed to be pushed toward
technological and industrial applications; many policy
initiatives therefore aimed at supporting enterprises in
their R&D efforts or at improving university industry
collaboration.
2. a second generation in which innovation policy became
more complex and aimed at facilitating interactions
between the various actors and institutions involved in
innovation processes: universities, research
laboratories, banks for venture capital, and government
agencies in charge of various sectors.
3. A third generation of innovation policy has appeared. It is
inspired by a “whole-of government” approach, in which
all departments are potentially concerned.
