Canadian Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy presents new critical analysis about related developments in the field such as significantly changed concepts of peer review, merit review, the emergence of big data in the digital age, and the rise of an economy and society dominated by the internet and information. The authors scrutinize the different ways in which federal and provincial policies have impacted both levels of government, including how such policies impact on Canada’s natural resources. They also study key government departments and agencies involved with science, technology, and innovation to show how these organizations function increasingly in networks and partnerships, as Canada seeks to keep up and lead in a highly competitive global system. The book also looks at numerous realms of technology across Canada in universities, business, and government and various efforts to analyze biotechnology, genomics, and the Internet, as well as earlier technologies such as nuclear reactors, and satellite technology. The authors assess whether a science-and-technology-centred innovation economy and society has been established in Canada – one that achieves a balance between commercial and social objectives, including the delivery of public goods and supporting values related to redistribution, fairness, and community and citizen empowerment. Probing the nature of science advice across prime ministerial eras, including recent concerns over the Harper government’s claimed muzzling of scientists in an age of attack politics, Canadian Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy provides essential information for academics and practitioners in business and government in this crucial and complex field.

Small and Medium Enterprises (SME's) are commonly considered the economic and innovation engine of the Canadian economy. A staggering 99.9 per cent of Canadian companies are classified as SMEs, making up 89.9 per cent of all jobs within the Canadian private sector. When SMEs innovate and adopt new technologies, it can have a profound impact on the global competitiveness of Canadian industry. But how can we promote and encourage such a diverse group of organizations to adopt new technology and take Canada to the next level? Join the Conference Board's own Paul Preston as he explores why technology adoption matters for all firms, and particularly SMEs, when competing globally. Drawing reference to the findings of the 2014 Conference Board of Canada study titled: "Adopting Digital Technologies: The Path for SMEs" and the Conference Board's "Report Card on Innovation", Paul will discuss the role of innovation and productivity in our economy, provide insight into the innovation performance of Canada relative to peer countries, and focus in on the extent of ICT adoption in this country and how it impacts organizational effectiveness and overall Canadian competitiveness.

Competitiveness is presently a popular notion in the business community, but its specific meaning for policy analysis is unclear. This document argues that competitiveness is about the growth in output per employed person; that it is about continuously raising the real incomes of Canadians; and that it is about continued structural reform of the Canadian economy. It also argues that both the private sector and governments must put competitiveness on its agenda, and examines this need in the context of intergovernmental fiscal relations, the provision of health care and education, and mechanisms for reducing the excess burden of government social regulation.
