How to Make an Entrepreneurial State: Why Innovation Needs Bureaucracy by Rainer Kattel, Wolfgang Drechsler and Erkki Karo offers an analytical approach to creating successfull "innovation bureaucracies" with a wealth of examplary policies, practices and institutions observed throughout the post-Second World War era. The book defines a quality of "agile stability" for the public sectors to create in order to solve next generation problems. As its title speaks, its main argument is: "innovation needs bureaucracy." Therefore, the authors give a detailed account on how public institutions create, do (perform), fund, intermediate, and rule (administer/coordinate). It is a reference source for students, scientists, practitioners, and anyone, who care for innovating successfully and developing prosperous societies while facing tomorrow's challenges.
