There is growing recognition that innovation encompasses a wide range of activities in addition to R&D, such as organizational changes, training, testing, marketing and design. It is solved following tasks: shown the importance of innovation in postindustrial society; defined the role of knowledge and innovation in postindustrial society; analyzed postindustrial society in the context of innovation development; summarized policy principles of innovation in postindustrial society.
