Bush Or Kerry For An American Innovation Century?

The Next President Must Ensure US Firms' Success In Global Innovation Networks

by Navi Radjou

with Bobby Cameron, Liz Herbert

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

America is confronting a major economic threat as US firms face a crushing tidal wave of innovation demand. US companies' survival hinges on their ability to meet this global demand by harnessing the invention and innovative services available through a new market structure Forrester calls Innovation Networks. But both President George W. Bush and Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry offer shortsighted policies that undermine — not strengthen — US firms' ability to compete in global Innovation Networks. To drive US firms' success in Innovation Networks, the next president of the US — be it Bush or Kerry — must implement the 10-point agenda outlined in this document.
