It finds the report comprehensive in its gathering and assessment of available research, innovative, in its own right, in its analysis of innovation as an outcome of business strategy formation, and impressively well ordered and written. Both lay readers and professional students of innovation and labour productivity will find the report to be of great value. I N 2007, T H E G O V E R N M E N T O F C A N A D A

Cet article passe en revue le rapport du Groupe d’experts du Conseil des académies canadiennes sur l’innovation en affaires. Il juge le rapport complet dans sa collecte et son évaluation des recherches disponibles, innovant en lui-même dans son analyse de l’innovation comme résultat de la formation de stratégies d’affaires, et remarquablement bien structuré et rédigé. Tant les lecteurs non spécialistes que les étudiants professionnels en innovation et en productivité du travail trouveront dans ce rapport une grande valeur de référence.
