Stimulating Innovation: Is Canada Pursuing the Right Policies?

Marcel Côté and Roger Miller ()

International Productivity Monitor, 2012, vol. 23, 3-16

Abstract: Based on a global survey of over 800 innovative firms, a new framework has been developed by the authors to understand innovation. Using the perspective of the innovators to explain the diversity of the strategies behind business innovation, they identified six broad patterns called games of innovation around which innovations are structured. The article points out that this framework raises significant issues about the effectiveness of current Canadian innovation policies. In light of the productivity challenges that Canada faces, which appear to be largely related to innovation, the framework also provides useful insights into future directions for public policies.
