About this book

This book is the first attempt to systematically introduce the aspect of time into economic and environmental innovation policy. The authors demonstrate how `windows of opportunity' for technological innovations emerge and also explain how they can be identified and effectively exploited.

Media reviews

'Timeliness is a particularly relevant issue in the field of innovation and diffusion research. This book originates from the observation that innovations are time critical and asks the question: when and how do windows of opportunity for new environmental technologies emerge and why do they disappear again? By analysing these windows of opportunity and possible time strategies for innovation policies, this book represents a highly topical contribution to a front line issue in environmental and innovation research. The theoretical framework is applied to well-investigated and highly informative case studies to produce an interesting, insightful and coherent volume.' - Joseph Huber, Martin-Luther-University, Halle, Germany
