Abstract
One way to get a better understanding of innovation processes in a specific country might be to carry out a systematic comparison with other countries. In this way the international diversity of modes and methods of innovation might be used to enhance the comprehension of national innovation possibilities. The concept of ‘national systems of innovation’ might be useful as a tool in such comparative studies.
