Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] There is no doubt that innovation is fundamental for economic growth and development. The crucial question therefore becomes how to efficiently organize resources and activities so as to support a virtuous process of innovation; how to direct investment in research and development (R&D) and related human capital in order to create wealth and greater well-being. The purpose of this chapter is therefore to illustrate what are the economic foundations that characterize the innovation processes and the figure of the innovative entrepreneur and to study the relative economic-social and policy implications.
