A Strategic Approach of Building National Technology Strength - Finland as Case Study

Cheng, Wen-Pi 27 June 2001 (has links)
Finland has made considerable advances in generating a coordinated national innovation system and building its national technology strengths. According to Castells (2000), Finland has established itself as the first true information society, with one website per person, internet access in 100 % of school, a computer literacy campaign for adults, the largest diffusion of computer power and mobile telephone in the world, and a globally competitive information technology industry, spearheaded by Nokia. The purpose of this thesis is to study and define the high frequency of consultation, deliberation and effective linkage creation between Finnish Government, education system, research institutes and industry. The process begins with the recognition that in the knowledge-based economy, knowledge can be fostered to produce economic benefits and national wealth. The result of the thesis found that not only basic components like government, education system, research institutes, and industry, but also outside components, like international cooperation, human resource and culture, play very important roles while investigating the factors which help to facilitate and enforce Finland to develop its information society and national technology strength.
