As global economic competition becomes increasingly innovation-driven, policymakers in both government and business are actively searching for ways to increase innovation at all levels of society including individuals, firms, industries, nations, and regions. Past research on innovation policy tended to take a piece-meal investigative approach with focus on a single or narrow-set of explanatory variables, resulting in limiting or ineffective policy recommendations. This PDW seeks to develop a programmatic, cross-national research agenda to investigate the respective roles of a nation's institutions, infrastructures, and organizations in affecting innovative performance at multiple levels of analysis and examine policy implications for government, business, firm, and other stakeholder groups. The session will be highly interactive with panelists and participants working together in small roundtable groups to develop a preliminary research agenda that combines individual members' research interests with the aim of forming a global research network for follow-up collaboration.
We hope to see many of you at the PDW!
