@incprodmon Thanks Roy. Excellent. Totally agree. That’s why my book is about. I’m planning to get it out soon. Are you still able to write a foreword. I’ll send the near complete version a bit later on. John

We think a lot about "innovation ecosystems," but often just see buzzwords.
A new Handbook offers a 'four-domain framework' to build them properly. It is a practical guide for integrating Placemaking, Economics, Business, & Governance into policy: https://t.co/SVvQGDYwIr

The 2025 Nobel Prize for Innovation marks a 'paradigm capture' by neoclassical economics. But what does this mean for the field of Innovation Studies, and which pioneers (like Christopher Freeman) were overlooked?: https://t.co/DJI2Eit8ql #NobelPrize #ParadigmCapture #Innovation

Innovation is political. Australian policy machinery lacks the tools to govern technological change strategically. It's time to recover political economy thinking. New article from @ActonInstitute by Rajesh Gopalakrishnan Nair & John H Howard: https://t.co/kmz4IGtaEV #Innovation

[Dr John H Howard @drjohnhoward]

My Handbook of Innovation Ecosystems is out! This comprehensive resource explores how these systems work and flourish, with emphasis on their relationship to industrial strategy. Aimed at business strategists, innovation practitioners and policymakers. : https://t.co/1F0moyFLi4

Economists must take seriously the transformative implications of AI for the economy:
-economic growth
-science and innovation
-inequality
-concentration of power
-geo-economics
-information and knowledge flows
-catastrophic risk
-new measures of well-being and
-transition dynamics.

This paper, with @professor_ajay and @akorinek, proposes a research agenda.

Australia tracks productivity & R&D, yet lacks data on business investment in skills. Innovation won’t come from subsidies alone—employers must fund training in AI, Quantum, and workforce development: https://t.co/nOGcCdccfP #Innovation #AI #Quantum #Productivity #DigitalSkills

[Dr John H Howard @drjohnhoward]

Universities aren’t businesses ... but it’s complicated. They compete for students, run companies, invest in property, yet serve a public mission. This article calls for clearer reporting of public benefit and commercial activities https://t.co/6zqCFaC3TF #UniversityFinance

[Dr John H Howard @drjohnhoward]

Australian universities face impossible choice: maintain academic excellence or meet corporate financial targets. When cross-subsidies between disciplines are seen as "inefficiencies," we lose intellectual diversity: https://t.co/vxm39d8X3u #CorporateValues #UniversityReform

[Dr John H Howard @drjohnhoward]

Australia’s search for an industrial policy has been long and contested. Centralised models drawn from unitary states do not fit the realities of a vast federation with diverse regional economies. The way forward is mission-oriented and place-based: https://t.co/fhhG9EBich
