Innovation-oriented regional policy

Ewers, H.-J. / Wettmann, R.W.

Ewers H.-J. and Wettmann R. W. (1980) Innovation-oriented regional policy, Reg. Studies 14, 161–179. In a changed macroeconomic situation, it is felt that regional policy is not directed towards the main bottleneck factor constraining growth in the problem regions. Regional innovation potential is shown to be the decisive bottleneck. Existing theories of the spatial diffusion of innovations are reviewed and a theoretical framework, based on an open-system approach to organizations, is considered to deal with spatial influences on innovation processes. A new approach to regional policy by means of innovation-promoting and technology policy instruments is proposed.
