Innovation and digitalisation are playing an increasingly important role in virtually all sectors and in the daily lives of citizens around the world. As such, policy makers are placing the “innovation imperative” at the centre of their policy agendas. The design, development and implementation of policies, however, is fraught with difficulty – and even more so when international co-ordination is required. Innovation has often been regarded as ‘too fuzzy’ a concept to be measured and accounted for. The OECD Frascati Manual opened the way for measuring one key dimension of science, technology and innovation so that, nowadays, investment in research and development – R&D – is systematically encouraged and monitored around the world. However, policymaking today is still largely focused on what is easier to measure. There is, therefore, an urgent need to capture how ideas are developed and how they can become the tools that transform organisations, local markets, countries, the global economy and the very fabric of society.258 páginasapplication/pdfspaAll rights reserved UNESCOOslo Manual 2018: Guidelines for collecting, reporting and using data on innovationThe Measurement of Scientific, Technological and Innovation ActivitiesDocumento de trabajoPolítica de innovaciónAplicacion de los resultados de i+dPolítica de innovacióninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessIndicadores científicosIndicadores de Innovación
