Long abstract

OECD Science, Technology and Industry Outlook 2002

The OECD Science, Technology and Industry Outlook 2002 provides a broad, integrated assessment of these important issues. In addition to reviewing overall trends in science, technology and industry, the report identifies significant changes in science, technology and industry policies in the OECD countries. Special chapters examine changing business strategies for R&D, competition and co-operation in the innovation process, changes in the governance of national science systems, strategic use of intellectual property rights in public research institutions, industrial globalisation and the international mobility of scientists and engineers. A special chapter examines scientific and technological policy challenges in China, a country that was granted observer status to the OECD Committee for Scientific and Technological Policy in 2002. A statistical annex provides up-to-date performance indicators related to science, technology and industry.
