This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canadian Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy presents new critical analysis about related developments in the field such as significantly changed concepts of peer review, merit review, the emergence of big data in the digital age, and the rise of an economy and society dominated by the internet and information. The authors scrutinize the different ways in which federal and provincial policies have impacted both levels of government, including how such policies impact on Canada’s natural resources. They also study key government departments and agencies involved with science, technology, and innovation to show how these organizations function increasingly in networks and partnerships, as Canada seeks to keep up and lead in a highly competitive global system. The book also looks at numerous realms of technology across Canada in universities, business, and government and various efforts to analyze biotechnology, genomics, and the Internet, as well as earlier technologies such as nuclear reactors, and satellite technology. The authors assess whether a science-and-technology-centred innovation economy and society has been established in Canada – one that achieves a balance between commercial and social objectives, including the delivery of public goods and supporting values related to redistribution, fairness, and community and citizen empowerment. Probing the nature of science advice across prime ministerial eras, including recent concerns over the Harper government’s claimed muzzling of scientists in an age of attack politics, Canadian Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy provides essential information for academics and practitioners in business and government in this crucial and complex field.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the findings of surveys of innovation in Canadian industry, analysed using a variety of economentric techniques and descriptive statistics. The results are placed in the context of the Innovation Strategy of the federal government of Canada and the conclusion identifies information gaps, unmet policy needs, and suggestions for future work. Promoting innovation is a preoccupation of most industrialized countries and Canada, with its Innovation Strategy, released in February 2002, is no exception. In the context of such a startegy, understanding the activity of innovation, and the links bewteen actors in the innovation system, contribute to the policy debate. Large firms are more likely to produce a world-first innovation, to have R & D units, to enter into collaborations, especially local ones, and to appropriate intellectual property from government laboratories. This contrasts with smaller firms that are more likely to produce innovations that are new to the firm, rather than world-first, and to draw upon more informal sources of information, such as trade journals or conferences, as they lack the absorptive capacity needed to capture intellectual property. These findings have implications for commercialization policy and for technical assistance programmes. As well as providing findings on innovation, and the system in which it takes place, the book is an introduction to how large surveys are designed, carried out, and analysed as part of the policy process. All of the material needed to follow the process is either in the book or freely available on the Statistics Canada web site. The analysis, leading to the findings, uses a variety of econometric methods, as well as descriptive statistics. A chapter reviews the methods used and comments on the balance between econometric techniques and descriptive methods. It allows the reader to benefit more from the presentation of the analytical methods in the rest of the book, and to develop a critical appreciation of technique and of infererences gained. Empirical findings are linked to policy throughout and the book ends with proposals for statistical measurement, analysis, and policy. While the book is focussed on Canada, the findings and recommendations apply to any industrial economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal Innovation Strategy includes an increase in government investment in research & development (R&D). This report presents a review of decision-making processes & selection criteria used by granting agencies to ensure that federal R&D funds are being managed in the best possible way. Chapter 1 reviews the budgets, missions, & grant selection processes at the three granting agencies (Natural Sciences & Engineering Research Council, Social Sciences & Humanities Research Council, and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research) and in the Canada Research Chairs Program. In chapter 2, the Committee addresses the concerns of small & regional institutions with respect to the allocation of federal R&D funds. These concerns include the weak research capacity of small universities, how this capacity can be improved, and whether there are inherent biases against researchers from small institutions. Funding priorities for Canada and their relationship to agency programs & selection criteria are discussed in chapter 3. Chapter 4 addresses the important contributions that highly qualified personnel & college researchers make to R&D in Canada's knowledge-based economy. Chapter 5 contains Committee recommendations for improvements in peer review practices, the types of feedback & appeal mechanisms provided to applicants, and the measurement & communication of the outputs, outcomes, & impacts of federally funded R&D.
