Description
A ground-breaking account of how public bodies can successfully pursue innovation and technological advancement. Rainer Kattel, Wolfgang Drechsler and Erkki Karo explore the complex relationship between government institutions and innovation, highlighting the need for 'agile stability' in order to drive change. The authors examine how different countries and institutions approach innovation, from financing new technologies to sharing cutting-edge information. They argue that governments must strike a balance between long-term policy and dynamic capabilities, particularly in times of crisis such as the Covid-19 pandemic. This book offers a vital insight into the often contradictory positions of innovating public bodies, and how they can overcome financial and political resistance to change for the benefit of all.
