Area of Science:

  • Science and Technology Policy
  • Research and Development Management

Context:

  • Paternalistic governments and bureaucratic administrations often lead to suboptimal science policy.
  • Mediocre policy decisions hinder the production of significant scientific research.
  • International competitiveness in science is crucial for national advancement.

Purpose:

  • To advocate for policy changes that intensify individual competitiveness in science.
  • To identify common features that foster competitiveness in leading scientific nations.
  • To redefine the role of government in promoting science and technology.

Summary:

  • Individual competitiveness is key to improving science and technology policy.
  • Nations excelling in science, such as Japan, USA, and Canada, share traits like administrative continuity, high academic standards, and educated workforces.
  • Governments should focus on fiscal policy for education and scientific activity, and implement rules that boost individual competitiveness.

Impact:

  • Increased individual competitiveness can lead to significant research breakthroughs.
  • Elevating academic performance expectations and re-evaluating institutional functions are necessary adjustments.
  • This approach necessitates potentially unpopular political decisions for long-term scientific advancement.
