Changing Strategies for Business R&D and their Implications for Science and Technology Policy. Proceedings of the tip Workshop

The Vienna tip-workshop on February 25th, 2002 gathered researchers and evaluation practitioners from several countries in the context of the current OECD project on "Changing Strategies for Business R&D and their Implications for Science and Technology Policy". The Proceedings volume of the Workshop presents and compares recent approaches and the outcomes of recent studies with a view to encourage mutual learning and to pave the ground for a common framework for future activities (surveys, case studies, econometric studies) in the field. The contributions addressed the topic from two different angles: on the one hand, they reviewed recent studies attempting to identify leverage effects of public support to private R&D, on the other hand they looked into the determinants of the patterns of private R&D.
