My Dads latest book was reviewed in Research Money Magazine :) Fred Gault, who until 2008 headed the Science, Innovation and Electronic Information Division at Statistics Canada, has long been recognized as one of the world’s foremost experts on innovation measurement, playing a key role at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in leading its evolving understanding of innovation. He is currently a professorial fellow at UNU-MERIT in the Netherlands, where much ground-breaking work on innovation measurement is being done for the European Union’s Eurostat. “People want jobs, ideally good jobs, and some support when things go wrong. The fundamental policy question is how to deliver jobs and sufficient growth to provide the public services expected,” Gault says. “Some would argue that innovation is part of the answer, if not the only answer, but innovation is a complex phenomenon and the implementation of an innovation policy is not straightforward. More needs to be known about innovation and how it connects to the economy and society.” #innovation #stats #statistics
