最近,美国科学、技术与经济政策委员会( Board on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy, STEP )出版了一本新书,题为《 Rising to the Challenge: U.S. Innovation Policy for the Global Economy 》。该书汇集了 STEP 的一个研究项目——“比较国家创新政策: 21 世纪的最佳实践”的成果,认为美国应当更新其“国家创新支柱”投资战略,更多了解其它国家为扶持本国经济所采取的措施,更加努力地获取创新投资成果,也就是为高技术事业发展和提供高质量职位创造有利环境。该书具体目录如下,可在线阅读,网址: http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=13386 Front Matter Overview Chapter 1 The Innovation Challenge Chapter 2 Sustaining Leadership in Innovation Chapter 3 Findings Chapter 4 Recommendations Chapter 5 The New Global Competitive Environment Chapter 6 National Support for Emerging Industries Chapter 7 Clusters and Regional Initiatives Appendix A List of Workshops and Symposia for the Study ofComparative National Innovation Policies: Best Practice for the 21st Century Appendix B Bibliography
