Governments are increasingly activating
themselves as facilitators and nurturers of innovation. Some countries have
been considered to have been more successful than others in this respect. One
such country is Finland.
Synocus and Johan Wallin have been
asked to participate in the 26th Annual International Conference of
the Strategic Management Society to have a presentation in a “Common Ground”
session on the topic of the governance perspectives of the Finnish Innovation
System.
The conference is to be held in Vienna, Austria,
at the end of October 2006. It will provide an opportunity to have highly
interactive, moderated conversations around a set of research papers related to
this topic.
For those who are interested to provide
insights into the preparation of the paper, please contact Mr. Ville Kuusela at
Synocus (ville.kuusela@synocus.com)
to learn more.
Especially when comparing different
innovation systems, the comparison between the Finnish way and the Chinese way
is something that would be highly interesting to reflect upon. Chinese experts in this area are therefore
invited to contact us to present their views on this interesting topic.
