Second, by exploring ways of making existing areas of theory testable, and ways of using theoretical insights to inform data collection and other empirical research.The journal welcomes contributions across a wide range of issues concerned with innovation, including: innovation in product markets, process innovation, patenting, diffusion, innovation and technology policy, international competitiveness, standardization and network externalities, innovation and growth, technology transfer, innovation and market structure, innovation and the environment, and across a broad range of economic activity not just in high technology' areas.
