In the past few years, public technology procurement has been a  relatively neglected topic in the theoretical and research literature  on the economics of innovation. Similarly, preoccupation with  `supply-side' measures has led policy-makers to avoid making very  extensive use of this important `demand-side' instrument. These trends  have been especially pronounced in the European Union. There, as this  book will argue, existing legislation governing public procurement  presents obstacles to the use of public technology procurement as a  means of stimulating and supporting technological innovation.  Recently, however, there has been a gradual re-awakening of practical  interest in such measures among policy-makers in the EU and elsewhere.  For these and other related measures, this volume aims to contribute  to a serious reconsideration of public technology procurement from the  complementary standpoints of innovation theory and innovation policy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461370840\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461370840\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-4611-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 323\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358909657228,"sku":"9781461370840","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461370840.jpg?v=1755096702","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461370840","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
