	April 23, 2007 Memo To The Next French President: Integrate France In Global Innovation Networks For Growth by Navi Radjou with Michelle de Lussanet, Alyssa L. Baer, Emily Van Metre

This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

The next French President, who will be elected on May 6, must recognize that France can't compete globally on innovation merely by investing in more R&D. It must also internalize what Forrester calls global Innovation Networks, where countries as well as firms engage other nations and rival firms from around the world in a co-opetitive (cooperative and competitive) game that combines transformation, brokering, financing, and invention. France seems ill-equipped to win this new global innovation game given its insular, R&D-biased innovation system. That's why we urge the incoming French president to implement an eight-point Innovation Network agenda that will strengthen French firms' global competitiveness and successfully integrate France into the networked global economy.
