Innovation and Growth in Knowledge Economies

September 23 The tenth edition of OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) " Science, Technology and Industry Scoreboard 2011" Report has been recently published . The key subjects of this edition are Innovation and Growth in Knowledge Economies.
Knowledge Economy as emerging subject for the current economic background is always more one of the conditions to spread wellness and knowledge among society. The "optimal use" of Knowledge from companies make human resource the leading actor in the creation of wealth.
The OECD "Science, Technology and Industry Scoreboard 2011" builds on 50 years of indicator development at OECD to look at major trends in knowledge and innovation in the global economy. Over 180 indicators illustrate and analyze trends in science, technology, innovation and industrial performance in OECD and major non-OECD countries (notably Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, Indonesia, the People's Republic of China and South Africa). New players in the field of International competition are eroding the leadership of more established economies. Studying patent quality in different sectors has also allowed the OECD to assess which countries are doing best in innovation. The report takes into account traditional, new and experimental indicators such as quantitative estimates of R&D tax incentives and indicators of public funding "modes" (institutional versus project funding) that could represent a step towards new insights into areas of policy interest.
