Description
The recent global recession demonstrated that nations, regions and firms that produced (or improved) new technologies enjoyed economic growth; while those who didn't stagnated or declined. Thus, technological innovation is now seen as the way to produce jobs, profits and growth. This volume focuses on the most promising aspect of recent initiatives for technological innovation - their reliance on multi-group, multi-institutional and/or multi-sector collaboration, the ``New Partnership''. Part I of this volume looks at broad policy issues and provides an historical context for those who want a macro-level perspective. Part II describes specific programs for technological innovation, what they promise, and what they have already delivered. These chapters should be of particular interest to readers concerned with micro-level, operational or programmatic issues.
