Abstract
The report written in four parts, by Keith Pavitt, with the assistance of Salomon Wald, attempts to identify the factors influencing the process of technological innovation by analysing the results of empirical research on the subject undertaken over the past ten years in the member countries of the OECD. The report's analysis is concentrated on technological innovation rather than on diffusion, for want of empirical information on the later.
