Dr. Hal Raveche: Innovation Economics, Hal Raveche
November, 2011
As President of Innovation Strategies International, LLC, Dr. Hal Raveche helps government agencies, businesses, and universities develop and encourage entrepreneurship via innovation. According to Dr. Raveche, the current global marketplace responds to innovation economics, which is quickly superseding the more traditional idea of independent economies based on knowledge, industry, and labor.
The study of economics identifies economies based on their key factors for wealth building. For instance, knowledge economies create wealth around information, while industrial economies focus on natural resources and labor. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, as the marketplace rapidly globalized and Internet use grew, the knowledge economy quickly replaced previous models as the driving force in wealth generation.
In the latter part of the first decade of the 21st century, however, the knowledge economy shifted, becoming only one piece of the economics of innovation. With innovation economics, knowledge plays an essential role but is no more important than technology, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Each of these factors ties into public policy, which needs to change with market forces in such a way that it fosters ongoing economic growth.
In order to develop innovation economics, certain conditions must be present, including:
1. Entrepreneurs who are willing to take risks on new businesses
2. Private and government institutions that invest in technological innovation
3. Transfer of knowledge gained in research to companies for practical application
4. An appropriately trained, skilled workforce
5. Policies that support ongoing innovation and adoption of new information technologies
Innovation economics will continue to evolve now and in the future as individual economies become increasingly globalized. In order to support ongoing growth, public policy must shift in such a way that it makes room for a new way of doing business. To lear more see www.innostrategies.com.
