Finding the Balance in Innovation and Commercialization
by Dr. Alan Cornford and edited by Dr. Richard Lipsey, 2005
This paper, authored by Dr. Alan Cornford and edited by Dr. Richard Lipsey discusses the importance to Canada’s innovative capacity and, in turn, international competitiveness, of establishing the optimal balance of investments among public research and development (R&D), private R&D, highly qualified personnel and risk capital. The paper observes that these key drivers of innovative capacity interact with each other, making the balance among them at least as important as the investment levels in each.
