OECD – an unique inter-governmental organisation c u -tr a c k

with limited membership but global reach

• 30 members, including all leading market economies from Europe,


America and Asia, but …
• No longer a rich-men’s club
Successive enlargement rounds have increased the weight of
catching-up economies among membership (e.g. Turkey, Mexico,
Korea), including current accession process (e.g. Chile, Russia)
“Enhanced engagement strategy” with Brazil, China, India, Indonesia
and South Africa
Strategic partnerships with major regions (MENA, ASEAN)
Formal relationships with 70 non-member countries
Increased co-operation with other international organisations (e.g.
World Bank, UNESCO, UNCTAD, Inter-American Development Bank)

for policy dialogue and analysis


• It helps governments to design and implement efficient policies, by
providing:
A platform for the identification and learning of best policy practices
Fact based analysis and international benchmarking indicators
Country-specific evaluation of public policies
Support for better policies through peer reviews, recommendations,
guidelines and other soft regulations

• It has a multidisciplinary approach across wide ranging policy domains


(macro-economy, S&T, education, environment, tax, investment,
development aid, energy, regional development, etc.)

• It serves governments but engages all other main stakeholders,


business, civil society, and NGOs
BIAC, in which CNI is member, is the main interface with business

• Our growth path before the crisis was not sustainable,


economically, environmentally, socially and therefore politically:

Stronger productivity growth is needed to enhance efficiency and


secure good prospects for long term socio-economic development
worldwide

Pressing need to address global problems, e.g. climate change, food


security, health, energy

Resist the trend towards increasing inequalities in the social


distribution of the costs/benefits of economic development

• The OECD Innovation Strategy: a collective policy response

Ministerial Mandate from May 2007: Boosting innovation must be a


key objective of government policies to promote sustainable growth;
But how best to do it?

• A slowdown of
productivity
growth occurred
in most OECD
countries several
years ago

• It has been more


pronounced in
countries which
had the highest
productivity
growth prior to
2004

• This was due in part to a marked slowdown of capital deepening and


the diffusion of ICT equipment

• The possible maturation of technological trajectories which had been


very dynamic so far should be a concern

The innovation agenda of high- and middle-income


countries is converging

• An ever growing number of highly developed countries adopt more


articulated and ambitious innovation strategies

• Economic development policy in countries as diverse as China, Chile,


Korea or South Africa reflects a change in the understanding of the
role of and interplay between the creation and diffusion of technology

• The idea that countries need to “exhaust” their potential for catching up
before entering “own” innovation and R&D activities is unhelpful

• This creates frictions of convergence: IPRs, competition for talents,


“forced technology transfer”, standards, etc.

The scope for international learning of best policy practices increases, as does
the need for enhanced international cooperation in dealing with frictions and in
producing the international public goods that are necessary to respond to
global challenges

low-skills in high-income countries is a risk

• Increasing returns on investment in knowledge may lead to


geographical concentration of innovative activities

• Youngest populations are often located in areas with lower


education and training capacities. Demand of low skills falls while
global supply increases

• Growth strategy of rich countries / individuals contrasts with survival


strategy of poor countries / individuals

• This creates conflicts of divergence within and among countries:


immigration pressures, social unrest, insecurity, environmental
damages (e.g. deforestation), counterfeiting and piracy, etc.

Issues such as « innovation and development », « social impacts of


innovation », or « socially-inclusive innovation policy » should receive more
attention

• The cover for “beggar thy neighbour”, • An effort to consolidate existing or
outdated industrial policies, inspired build new comparative advantages in
by “techno-nationalism” an open environment

• An indiscriminate rush towards any • An effort to channel creativity towards

Experience demonstrates that private investment in innovation is pro-cyclical

The impact is likely to be biased against firms which are more dependent on
external financing (e.g. SMES and start-ups) and against product innovation, as
opposed to cost-cutting improvements
Risk of negative feedbacks on public research (“mutual de-leveraging”)
Reduced propensity to invest in ICTs and human capital and lower incentives to

Incentives and funding Demand and user orientation


• Firms’ innovation time-span shortens and • Competition increases as demand slows
risk-averseness increases • Downturn creates new needs, e.g. as firms
• Longer-term and higher-risk R&D projects modify business models, supply networks
delayed or stopped and outsource, etc.
• Firms’ capabilities to co-fund research in • Customer-focused and user-driven
universities and institutes diminishes innovation gains even more importance
• Private venture market for growth funding • Speed and cost-effectiveness emphasised
“frozen” in firms’ innovation activities
Public support critical in maintaining Fast and agile innovation models
innovation activity needed

Broad-based innovation Spring-board for new growth


• Innovation = Knowledge-based competitive • Firms’ long-term R&D must be maintained
advantage also in downturn
• Using and combining both technological and • Firms’ co-operation with PROs must be
non-tech know-how as source of innovation supported
• Service, business models, work-life • Developing and renewing innovative
innovation, “every-day innovations” clusters should remain a priority
• Training for putting innovations in use Maintaining longer-term R&D is crucial
Continuous innovation supports “cost- to support “creative destruction and
chase” and increases productivity renewal” and build stronger basis for
future growth
