A
collection of articles arising out of the Education
for Innovation conference held in 2007 by ICA Institute
and Emory University.
In Education for Innovation: Implications for India,
China and America, distinguished thought leaders explore
cutting-edge questions such as: Can inventiveness and
ingenuity be taught and nurtured in schools and colleges?
What are the most effective educational strategies
to promote these abilities? How are vibrant economies
driven by innovation? What is the relationship between
education for innovation and national competitiveness
or economic development?
Focusing on the
Worlds' three most populous countries and largest economies,
this book provides a forum for international experts to address
a range of critically important issues related to higher education
and its role in creating innovative societies. A wide diversity
of educators, policymakers and corporate representatives who
are dependent on innovation as the well-spring of their success
will benefit from the perspectives provided by this volume.
The contributors' critical analyses will be of value to higher
education faculty and administrators; government officials interested
in innovation, education policy, and national economic and workforce
development; CEOs and other officials from the online education
community and high tech corporate industries. Recent focus in
all three countries on higher education as a resource for national
economic advancement makes the book especially timely.
