Innovation Dynamics as Co-evolutionary Processes:A Longitudinal Study of the Computer Services Sector in the Region of Attica, Greece

Abstract

We elaborate on the notion of innovation systems, and examine the case of the Computer Services Sector in the Region of Attica, Greece. Based on the coevolutionary framework of Lewin et al., (1999), we question the co-evolutionary dynamics between the sector and the region and examine the conditions under which innovation performance emerges. Study the function and development of a SIS (Computer Services Sector) in a RIS (Region of Attica), and this within a NIS (Greece).
