Innovation Offshoring: Asia's Emerging Role in Global Innovation Networks

Most analysts agree that critical ingredients for economic growth, competitiveness and welfare in the United States have been policies that encourage strong investment in research and development (RD2. Support corporate innovation by (1) providing tax incentives to spur early-stage investments in innovative start-ups and (2) reforming the U.S. patent system so it is more accessible to smaller inventors and innovators; 3. Upgrade the U.S. talent pool of knowledge workers by (1) providing incentives to study science and engineering, (2) encouraging the development of management, interpretive, cross-cultural and other “soft” capabilities, and (3) encouraging immigration of highly skilled workers; 4. Improve access to and collection of innovation-related data to inform the national policy debate.
