The committee is reviewing selected state and regional efforts to capitalize on federal and state investments in areas of critical national needs. Building the Arkansas Innovation Economy: Summary of a Symposium includes both efforts to strengthen existing industries as well as specific new technology focus areas such as nanotechnology, stem cells, and energy in order to better understand program goals, challenges, and accomplishments. As a part of this review, the committee is convening a series of public workshops and symposia involving responsible local, state, and federal officials and other stakeholders. These meetings and symposia will enable an exchange of views, information, experience, and analysis to identify best practice in the range of programs and incentives adopted. Drawing from discussions at these symposia, fact-finding meetings, and commissioned analyses of existing state and regional programs and technology focus areas, the committee will subsequently produce a final report with findings and recommendations focused on lessons, issues, and opportunities for complementary U.S. policies created by these state and regional initiatives. Since 1991, the National Research Council, under the auspices of the Board on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy, has undertaken a program of activities to improve policymakers' understandings of the interconnections of science, technology, and economic policy and their importance for the American economy and its international competitive position. The Board's activities have corresponded with increased policy recognition of the importance of knowledge and technology to economic growth. One important element of STEP's analysis concerns the growth and impact of foreign technology programs.1 U.S. competitors have launched substantial programs to support new technologies, small firm development, and consortia among large and small firms to strengthen national and regional positions in strategic sectors. Some governments overseas have chosen to provide public support to innovation to overcome the market imperfections apparent in their national innovation systems. They believe that the rising costs and risks associated with new potentially high-payoff technologies, and the growing global dispersal of technical expertise, underscore the need for national R&D programs to support new and existing high-technology firms within their borders."--Publisher's description. 000720826 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000720826 650_0 $$aInformation technology$$xEconomic aspects$$zUnited States$$vCongresses. 000720826 650_0 $$aTechnological innovations$$xEconomic aspects$$zUnited States$$vCongresses. 000720826 650_0 $$aTechnology and state$$zUnited States$$vCongresses. 000720826 650_0 $$aKnowledge management$$zUnited States$$vCongresses. 000720826 650_0 $$aInformation society$$zUnited States$$xManagement$$vCongresses. 000720826 650_0 $$aCompetition$$zUnited States$$vCongresses. 000720826 7001_ $$aWessner, Charles W.,$$econtributor. 000720826 7102_ $$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$$bCommittee on Competing in the 21st Century: Best Practice in State and Regional Innovation Initiatives,$$eissuing body. 000720826 7102_ $$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$$bBoard on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy,$$eissuing body. 000720826 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBuilding the Arkansas Innovation Economy Symposium$$tBuilding the Arkansas innovation economy : summary of a symposium.$$dWashington, District of Columbia : National Academies Press, [2012]$$z9780309266437$$w(OCoLC)ocn822262409 000720826 852__ $$bebk 000720826 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/usiricelib/Doc?id=10863700$$zOnline Access 000720826 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:720826$$pGLOBAL_SET 000720826 980__ $$aEBOOK 000720826 980__ $$aBIB 000720826 982__ $$aEbook 000720826 983__ $$aOnline
