FEDERAL INDUSTRIAL INNOVATION POLICY: A REVIEW OF CONGRESSIONAL AND TASK FORCE ACTIVITY

The issue of technological innovation, and the appropriate role of government policy, have been the subjects of many task forces and special committees. A retrospective analysis was carried out to identify changing perspectives of the causes of declining innovation, areas of consensus, proposed remedies, and subsequent response. The study examined Congressional and Task Force activity on innovation. This review identified five major studies: National Commission on Technology, Automation, and Economic Progress (1964); the Panel on Invention and Innovation (1967); Commission on International Trade and Investment Policy (1971); and Domestic Policy Review of Industrial Innovation (1979).
