Chapter Overview

Description

Innovation in Real Places (2021) argues that the prevailing Silicon Valley model of growth creation has failed most cities and regions.

  • Anyone interested in learning more about innovation and sources
  • People interested in economic development and entrepreneurship
  • Citizens and policy makers wishing to advance policies promoting growth and prosperity in their region
