• The workplace, as well as the laboratory, is a vital innovator (Spotlight)
  Apr 2009 | Stephen Mills, Chairman, Australian Business Foundation

  Amid the pre-Budget clamour for increased funding for university research, it is worth pointing out that – from a productivity point of view – Australia does not necessarily need more research.  This is because productivity cannot and does not emerge fully-fledged from the laboratory.

  No amount of R&D spending will, alone, create it - that's the message from Stephen Mills, Chairman of the Australian Business Foundation.
