Reviews

'John's essays capture the essence of the new innovation-led economy. He skillfully incorporates a breadth of perspectives and disciplines (sociology, political science, economics, geography, organizational behavior) describing the central role knowledge, interdependence and institutions play in the innovation process. Throughout his essays that touch on innovation policy recommendations, Canada is a central focus, but he successfully incorporates the problems and opportunities associated with other small economies in both developing and developed countries. His focus on cities as a main driver of innovation is gaining increasing importance in the academic literature of today.' - Clifford Wymbs, Baruch College, CUNY, US

'... an interesting and scholarly volume that draws upon a range of disciplines to give an authoritative account of the innovative process. It represents a valuable information source for teachers and students of regional studies, economic policy and business economics.' -- Economic Outlook and Business Review 'Overall, Innovation Strategies in Interdependent States provides an all-encompassing examination of what has become a critical issue for policy makers, firms, educational institutions, and labor... this book is a welcome addition to geographical studies of the innovation process.' -- Ronald V.
