Innovation and economic behaviour - Need for a new approach?

The purpose of this paper is neither to give a new synthetic basis for the future development of the Oslo Manual, nor to provide a full review of all relevant issues. The purpose is limited to locating and raising some questions at the border of the Oslo Manual approach. Through this we hope to point to possible extensions of a properly revised Oslo Manual that allows it to continue to play an important role vis a vis innovation research and wider social use of innovation data
