Dans le cadre de la stratégie de Lisbonne, comment définir l'innovation et mesurer les résultats des politiques d'innovation ? En réponse à ces questions posées par Christine Lagarde, ministre de l'Économie, de l'Industrie et de l'Emploi, Pascal Morand et Delphine Manceau défendent une vision holistique de l'innovation et suggèrent des initiatives publiques visant à stimuler et à faire évoluer la vision de l'innovation dans notre pays.

In the current context of intensified competition, accelerated globalization and economic downturn, many companies are opening their innovation processes by integrating a large pool of partners - individuals, companies, research labs and public structures - in order to innovate more and faster. 'Open Innovation' is now a real buzzword that many companies and academics constantly refer to. To study the reality behind this trend, Accenture and the Institute for Innovation and Competitiveness i7, created by ESCP Europe, have investigated the current practices of companies that have been leveraging Open Innovation for several years to boost their overall innovation performance. They analyzed what Open Innovation changes in the way these companies build and handle external partnerships, organize and stimulate innovation internally. They then studied the perceived impact on innovation performance.

There's something big happening right now. I'm not referring to any of the popular technology memes per se-big data, social, cloud, mobile, augmented reality, context, post-PC devices, consumerization, 3-D printing, etc. I'm referring to something behind, and beyond, all of these technologies: the digitization of decision making. This increasing trend is creating a "second economy" underneath and alongside the physical economy we know so well, and on a revolutionary scale.

SFI External Professor W. Brian Arthur argues in the Santa Fe New Mexican, in a reprint of an essay recently published in McKinsey Quarterly, that a deep, slow, and silent transformation of our economy is taking place today as a second digital economy supplants the physical one we know. Every 60 years or so, he writes, a technological innovation comes along that slowly alters the economy. In the late 19th century it was the railroads linking east and west, goods and labor, and eventually fueling the industrial revolution.  Information technology is that technology today -- vast, interconnected, and extraordinarily productive. "Processes in the physical economy are being entered into the digital economy, where they are 'speaking to' other processes in the digital economy, in a constant conversation among multiple servers and multiple semi-intelligent nodes that are updating things, querying things, checking things off, readjusting things, and eventually connecting back with processes and human in the physical economy." Previously, humans were responsible for these processes. "Physical jobs are disappearing into the second economy, and I believe this effect is dwarfing the much more publicized effect of jobs disappearing to places like India and China," Arthur writes.

Attention all innovators, entrepreneurs, hackers, thinkers and people of open mind: the time has come to reinvent your city. Reinvent it not in the image of the city we are all familiar with, but as something altogether new: something intelligent, efficient and open, something livable and sustainable, something that not only works, but works better than we've ever imagined.

 the conventional view, the current turbulence portends deep, enduring structural shifts that will set the business agenda for the foreseeable future. We fully expect macroeconomic shocks over the coming decade, with discontinuities that will shape the options companies have to adapt and grow.

Les activités de l'Institut Technologies de l'information et Sociétés (ITIS) répondent à quatre grandes priorités : Valorisation et diffusion des connaissances Diffuseur de connaissances, l'ITIS met en valeur les travaux de recherche menés sur le campus de l'Université Laval, auprès de clientèles ciblées autant que du grand public. Convergence et accessibilité Agent de liaison et carrefour de convergence, l'ITIS favorise les interactions entre les chercheurs de l'Université Laval, l'industrie des TI et la communauté. Il encourage et développe la mise en commun des expertises internes et externes dans la mise en place et le développement de projets innovants en technologies de l'information. Développement des occasions d'affaires Levier stratégique, l'ITIS cherche à créer des occasions d'affaires et des partenariats dans les domaines de la formation et de la recherche en TI. Il utilise donc ses ressources à des fins de conseil, de vigie, d'accompagnement et de développement. Relève et formation Ressource de référence, l'ITIS organise des activités visant à attirer de nouveaux étudiants ou professionnels dans les domaines liés aux technologies de l'information et participe à la création de programmes de formation rattachés à la sphère des TI.

LE CERCLE. (par Olivier Coste) - En 2000, le monde occidental règne en maître sur l'industrie des équipements de télécoms. L'Europe a même pris de l'avance sur les Etats-Unis. Aujourd'hui, il ne reste que quatre des huit principaux industriels occidentaux de l'époque. En revanche, deux nouveaux acteurs chinois sont devenus des champions mondiaux.
