What is Innovation Decision Science?
Innovation decision science is the study of decision-making as it relates to the connection between innovative activities and governance at different levels. It involves creating new knowledge about: (1) how technologies are invented, incorporated into commercial designs, and adopted and used by consumers and organizations; and (2) how new innovations interact with existing governance structures.
