Surprisingly, some of the time, it is governments driving this change. <p/> Rainer Kattel, Wolfgang Drechsler and Erkki Karo explore how public bodies pursue innovation and look at how such polices are designed and implemented. Spanning Europe, the USA and Asia, the authors show how different institutions finance new technologies and share cutting-edge information. In order to successfully innovate, state organizations have to behave like start-ups and yet ensure stability at the same time. Exploring the complex, often contradictory, position of the innovating public body, this account offers new solutions as to how it can overcome financial and political resistance to change - for the good of us all.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Rainer Kattel </b>is deputy director at the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose, University College London, UK, <b>Wolfgang Drechsler </b>is professor of governance, and <b>Erkki Karo </b>is director and senior research fellow at the Ragnar Nurkse Department of Innovation and Governance at Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia.
