This book explores the models, methods and metrics of innovation analysis in the context of a single centre: the Global Oilseeds Complex centred in Saskatoon, Canada. It is a single, coherent volume that outlines the theory and practices related to innovation, offering a critical assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the different approaches, backed up with empirical evidence.Agricultural innovationsSaskatchewanSaskatoonCase studiesFood industry and tradeSaskatchewanSaskatoonCase studiesAgricultural industriesSaskatchewanSaskatoonCase studiesAgricultural innovationsFood industry and tradeAgricultural industries338.1097124/25630Phillips Peter W.
