Innovation

There is a significant 2004 report on the subject,
“Sustaining the Nation’s Innovation Ecosystems,”
prepared by the
President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST).
(This is cited in chapter 6 of Clyde Prestowitz’s Three Billion New Capitalists.)

Here are several URLs that archive versions of it.
