Overview of the Book

Methods and Contributions

Out of the three methods of looking into innovation (i.e., R&D expenditure, patents, and innovation survey), it adopts the innovation survey method. An innovation survey that traces innovation over almost a decade is a novel contribution of the book. Additionally, using quantitative and qualitative methods in the study makes it more dynamic and robust.

Scope of the Survey
