IRS990PF/SummaryOfDirectChrtblActyGrp/Description1Txt	0	Research on Innovation is a non-profit organization created to conduct, sponsor and promote research on technological innovation and to disseminate the results of this research to a broad audience, both in academia and in industry. Our focus is on innovation, not just invention. Innovation includes not only science and R&D (research and development), but also the adoption and implementation of new technologies, the development of new skills and learning-by-doing. As such, innovation may depend on complex organizational, institutional and cultural factors. Consequently, our research interests are inter-disciplinary involving economics, business management, history and sociology.
