Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper updates and improves our understanding of university-industry relations in Canada. It begins with the volume of literature produced on this topic in the late 1980s and strengthens some of the initial, and perhaps, intuitive conclusions of this literature with findings from recent studies and some surveys. Benefiting from recent scholarship, the paper places significant emphasis on regional approaches to technology transfer. It insists that a variety of organizations, not just universities and industry, have important roles to play in technology transfer and local economic development, and suggests that both different sources of funding and approaches are important and should be complementary.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a global survey of public policies and programs for building national and regional ecosystems of science and technology based entrepreneurial development, this book provides a unique analysis of the advances, over the last several decades and in light of the experiential knowledge gained in various parts of the world, in the understanding of innovation systems in the pursuit of developing these economies. Presenting nineteen case studies of diverse developed and emerging economy nations and their regions, more than thirty expert authors describe an array of policy and program mechanisms that have been implemented over the years. The in-depth analyses of the worldwide efforts featured in this volume provide the reader with several valuable lessons. There are clear indications of a trend toward better cohesion and coordination of national efforts to improve innovation but also a trend toward the broadening of regional agendas to address technology, talent, capital, innovation infrastructure and entrepreneurship culture issues - considered essential for knowledge based entrepreneurial growth. The book also offers a unique treatment of grassroots level programmatic aspects of these efforts, including some novel entrepreneurial mechanisms employed for policy implementation. The book's blend of theory and practice provides valuable insights to the reader, particularly government, academic and private sector policymakers and scholars researching or involved directly with efforts to build and support the development of science and technology based entrepreneurial regions.
Download or read book National Innovation Systems written by Richard R. Nelson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1993-06-03 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The slowdown of growth in Western industrialized nations in the last twenty years, along with the rise of Japan as a major economic and technological power (and enhanced technical sophistication of Taiwan, Korea, and other NICs) has led to what the authors believe to be a "techno-nationalism." This combines a strong belief that technological capabilities of a nation;s firms are a key source of their competitive process, with a belief that these capabilities are in a sense national, and can be built by national action. This book is about these national systems of technical innovation. The heart of the work contains studies of seventeen countries--from large market-oriented industrialized ones to several smaller high income ones, including a number of newly industrialized states as well. Clearly written, this work highlights institutions and mechanisms which support technical innovation, showing similarities, differences, and their sources across nations, making this work accessible to students as well as the scholars of innovation.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years Canada has experienced an increase in patenting activities. This paper has 5 objectives: to investigate whether the recent surge is a global phenomenon or something unique to Canada, and to examine its causes; to examine Canada's inventive performance vis-à-vis that of other G-7 countries; to demonstrate the trend in the flow of patent applications to and from Canada; to understand international patenting activities; to identify the most innovative and dynamic industries within the Canadian manufacturing sector. Also looks at the pro-patent and the fertile technology hypotheses.

Wayne Clendenning and published by Industrie Canada c1997.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to provide an update of recent developments and changes to international and national dispute settlement mechanisms, as well as an analysis of the implications for the dispute settlement mechanism established under the Canadian Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT). The analysis includes the Australian constitutional approach for ensuring free trade within a federal state similar to Canada. The AIT mechanism has borrowed heavily from a number of other mechanisms and its further evolution will undoubtedly reflect the changes and improvements implemented in them. This study analyses the changes and their implications for the AIT mechanism; it also offers recommendations for improvements to the AIT mechanism, based on the changes to and experience with other national and international mechanisms

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1 When in the late seventies the Commission started its preparatory work on a plan of action(l) for the creation of a real Community Innovation market, obviously the question came up, how patents or industrial property could specifically help in stimulating technological and industrial innovation and technology transfer in the Community. From an earlier contractor's study(2) about possible items of action in patent law for the improvement of the impact of patents and patenting upon innovation, it was clear that, in principle, there was room for improvement but shortage of information as to how and to what extent efficient improvements should and could be made. 2 In the early 1980s then, the need for clarifying the potential for improve ment in patent law and patent practice became more pressing, so that the Commission convened an informal meeting of experts on 3/4 November 1982 in Luxembourg, in order to discuss the issues relevant to the relation ship between patent protection and innovation and to identify suitable subject matter for action or study. 38 experts from nine Member States, coming from different areas of activity in industrial property or in innova tion attended the meeting, which was chaired by two of them.
Download or read book Infrastructure Politique Nationale Et Investissement tranger Direct written by Steven Globerman and published by Industrie Canada. This book was released on 2002 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely argued that a country's economic performance over time is determined to a great extent by its political, institutional, and legal environment. We refer to these public institutions and policies as the national political infrastructure (NPI) of a country. This report focusses on the linkage between measures of NPI and foreign direct investment (FDI) flows. Specifically, it tests the hypothesis that FDI will be attracted to regions characterized by more favourable NPIs. It also argues that countries with more favourable NPIs will create more domestic multinational enterprises, and they will therefore see more capital outflows, so that the net effect on capital flows may be uncertain. The study employs 2 sets of FDI data, both covering the period 1995-1997. The 1st set measures total FDI inflows and outflows to and from a sample of 144 developed and developing countries. The 2nd set uses United States Bureau of Economic Analysis data to measure the inflows of U.S. FDI to these same countries.
Download or read book Lien Entre L innovation Et la Productivit Dans Les Industries Manufacturi res written by Wulong Gu and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper argues that the lack of evidence for a strong link between innovation & productivity in Canada is due to incomplete measures of innovation. The authors first construct a comprehensive measure of innovation that models innovation as an unobservable latent variable that underlies four indicators: research & development propensity, measured as a percentage of output; patents per worker; technology adoption, measured as real investment in machinery & equipment; and skill intensity, measured as the employment share of workers with a university education. The authors then examine the relationship between innovation & productivity in 14 Canadian manufacturing industries over 1980-1997 using the new measure. The results also show that the length of time it takes for innovation to have a positive & significant impact on productivity differs across industries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1988, this book explores how new technologies, industrial innovation and the growth of high technology industry have affected regional employment and economic change in different European countries. It discusses the factors which make some areas better suited than others to the development of the new industries, emphasising how fuctional integration and dependence upon highly-qualified manpower tend to concentrate these industries in particular locations. Attempts to encourage innovation and the development of high technology industry in old industrial areas are discussed, with particular reference to the role of large firms, training programmes and government policies.
Download or read book The Development of Science and Technology in Nineteenth Century Britain written by Donald Cardwell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2003. Donald Cardwell's interest in the inter-relationships between science, technology, education and society are exemplified in the selection of his studies and essays brought together here. The first section deals with the rise of scientific education in Britain, comparing it with that on the Continent. The next studies explore the development of the scientific understanding of power, especially steam power, and its application in the new technologies of the Industrial Revolution. The final section looks at learned societies, and in particular at Manchester, making explicit a theme running through many of the articles - the reasons why science, society and education came together to make this city what he called 'the centre of the industrial revolution'.
Download or read book Lib ralisation des changes et migration de travailleurs qualifi s written by Steven Globerman and published by Industrie Canada. This book was released on 1999 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to identify and assess how closer economic integration between Canada and the United States as manifested in the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) may have affected bilateral migration flows between the two countries. The 2nd section provides a brief theoretical overview of the linkages between trade liberalisation and labour markets that, in turn, imply linkages with incentives to migrate. Section 3 discusses recent legislative changes affecting the incentives and abilities of Canadians to migrate to the United States, and briefly considers the associated welfare implications for Canada. Section 4 presents and evaluates data on bilateral migration patterns, especially temporary migration under the NAFTA. Section 5 briefly addresses the policy implications of temporary migration under the NAFTA.
