Non R&D intensive firms continue to be the economic backbone of several developed industrial countries. They form the core of National Innovation Systems and contribute significantly to growth and employment. However, due to their lack of R&D activity, they are easily overlooked in the general innovation debate. This book provides latest empirical findings on the current economic relevance and specific innovation strategies and management of non-R&D intensive firms in Germany. It discusses their future role in a knowledge driven economy as well as possible implications for innovation and technology policy. An outcome of several years of dedicated research conducted at the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research (ISI), this book will prove of immense value to researchers and policy makers dealing with innovation and knowledge strategy. 606 $aManagement 606 $aIndustrial management 606 $aLeadership 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aEntrepreneurship 606 $aInnovation/Technology Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/518000 606 $aBusiness Strategy/Leadership$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/515010 606 $aR & D/Technology Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W43000 606 $aEntrepreneurship$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/514000 615 0$aManagement. 615 0$aIndustrial management. 615 0$aLeadership. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aEntrepreneurship. 615 14$aInnovation/Technology Management. 615 24$aBusiness Strategy/Leadership. 615 24$aR & D/Technology Policy. 615 24$aEntrepreneurship. 676 $a330 676 $a338926 676 $a658.4092 676 $a658421 676 $a658514 702 $aSom$b Oliver$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKirner$b Eva$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298504503321 996 $aLow-tech Innovation$92519406 997 $aUNINA
