Descrizione

This book is based on the “InnoSystems – Systems for innovation, competitiveness and knowledge transfer” project, which was funded by the European Union, through the Regione Campania, and for which research was carried out between 2012 and 2015. This project was led by the University of Naples Parthenope and saw the participation of a large research unit at the University Federico II of Naples coordinated by Riccardo Mercurio. The book collects the contributions of research conducted in different sectors and areas, carrying out an experimental study whose topics are related to the project objectives. One of the basic principles of InnoSystems research was the real appreciation of the interdependence of technological innovations. The project InnoSystems aimed at understanding the competitiveness of the “Regione Campania” (Italy) socio-economic system through the analysis of the potential and the exploitation of innovation, expressed by the regional context. Thus, all the actors involved in the project have contributed to the creation of an “interdisciplinary Observatory for Innovation”, a web site that promotes the distribution of results and encourage all participants to continue beyond the terms of the project. This observatory allows brainstorming among actors in order to share and discuss the results of the research.
