When the article was first published online, two sentences on p.1 were printed incorrectly.
In the first column, second paragraph, the first sentence read as follows:
The RIS3 approach is rooted in a vision of innovation that is in many respects both local and societal in nature, involving public and civil society actors as well as private-sector actors (Dolowitz & Marsh, 1996, pp. 353f.).
It has now been amended to read:
The RIS3 approach is rooted in a vision of innovation that is in many respects ‘both local and societal in nature, involving public and civil society actors as well as private sector actors’ (McCann & Ortega-Argilés, 2016, p. 17).
In the second column, first paragraph, the second sentence read as follows:
‘Policy makers are inheritors before being choosers’ (Morgan, 2016): in fact, while in many cases RIS3 introduced innovation as policy objective that had been previously absent from the regional practice, in other less advanced regions and usually in the most important ones, innovation policy had already been the object of policies and strategic thinking.
This has now been amended to read:
Policy makers are inheritors before being choosers (Dolowitz & Marsh, 1996, p. 353 f.): in fact, while in many cases RIS3 introduced innovation as policy objective that had been previously absent from the regional practice, in other less advanced regions and usually in the most important ones, innovation policy had already been the object of policies and strategic thinking.
The reference for Morgan (2016) has been removed from the reference list.
These errors have been corrected in both the print and online versions.
