Abstract
The purposes of this chapter is to delve more deeply into the processes and determinants of technological, organisational, and social innovation and to discuss the instruments and policies to stimulate the kinds of innovation necessary for the transformation of industrial societies into sustainable ones. Again, here we emphasise the attainment of ‘triple sustainability’ – improvements in competitiveness/long-term dynamic efficiency, social cohesion, and environment (including both resource productivity and environmental pollution) – which are the cornerstones of the real wealth of people.
