Abstract

This paper describes a consultative process used to identify priority research and development areas for action in Government policy formulation. It examines key issues in improving research commercialization in Australia. Policy-makers and industrialists in countries which face similar structural circumstances to those found in Australia should benefit from similar applications of the process. Policy formulators who require an accurate picture of the relative importance of different innovation-related policy issues should also benefit from the consultation methodology.

Keywords
