Abstract

In May 2007, OECD Ministers mandated the preparation of an OECD Innovation Strategy. The Strategy has two broad aims: first, addressing countries’ needs for a more comprehensive, coherent and timely understanding of how to promote, measure and assess innovation and its underlying dynamics of change; and, second, shedding light on appropriate multi-sector and whole-of-government approaches to innovation as a driver of sustainable growth, productivity and development and as a tool to address global challenges. Work on the Strategy is to take place over 2008-09, with a synthesis report to be delivered to the Ministerial Council Meeting in 2010. This paper forms part of the first phase of work on the Innovation Strategy. It draws on OECD work from the last ten years to provide a broad-brush overview of “what we know” about good policy practices for innovation. It also highlights recent changes in innovation processes and patterns, describes the increasing levels of internationalisation, and draws together early thinking on the contribution of innovation to solving global challenges related to the environment. En mai 2007, les ministres de l’OCDE ont prescrit l’élaboration d’une Stratégie de l’OCDE pour l’innovation, axée sur deux objectifs majeurs : 1) répondre aux besoins des pays qui souhaitent avoir une vision plus précise, plus cohérente et plus actuelle de la façon dont ils pourraient promouvoir, mesurer et évaluer l’innovation et la dynamique du changement qui la sous-tend, et 2) mettre en lumière des approches multisectorielles, englobant tous les niveaux d’administration, capables de faire de l’innovation un vecteur de croissance, de productivité et de développement durables et de contribuer à la résolution des problèmes mondiaux. Les travaux relatifs à la Stratégie se dérouleront sur la période 2008-2009 et un rapport de synthèse sera publié lors de la Réunion du Conseil au niveau des Ministres en 2010. Le présent rapport s’inscrit dans le cadre de la première phase de travail sur la Stratégie pour l’innovation. Il s’appuie sur les travaux menés par l’OCDE au cours des dix dernières années afin de faire un rapide tour d’horizon des connaissances existantes sur les pratiques exemplaires en matière de politiques de soutien à l’innovation. Il met également en évidence l’évolution récente des processus et des modèles d’innovation, explique l’internationalisation croissante de l’innovation et réunit les premières théories sur le rôle de l’innovation dans la résolution des défis liés à l’environnement au niveau mondial.
