Mananging Innovation in the New Economy (MINE)

The MINE project (http://www.minesurvey.polymtl.ca/mine_program.htm) is headquartered at Ecole Polytechnique, Quebec. From their web page: "Managing Innovation in the New Economy (MINE) is a collaborative research program dedicated to identifying and analyzing the competencies and practices linked with higher performance for each game of innovation. By linking world-class academia with experienced practitioners, the MINE program will deliver not only a truly innovative framework for value creation through innovation, but also grounded operational business processes and tools to help increase the innovation capacity of participating firms." I have been involved in the creation of case studies, formalation of the public communication program, and supervision of surveys of innovative firms in the biotechnology sector in Canada.
