Abstract	"Human capital is at the heart of innovation. It is people who transform their creativity, knowledge and skills into innovations. We generally conclude that if education and training systems supply our societies and economies with well trained people, new ideas will bloom and innovation will thrive. This is true, but only if there is an appropriate environment, in particular companies and organisations that take advantage of the talent and innovative capacity of the people they employ. Designing organisations and management practices that are conducive to innovation is part of the challenge. Why are learning and social interactions within companies important to innovation? To what extent do work organisations differ across countries? How can governments help foster innovative workplaces? These are some of the questions addressed in this book, which explores one of the policy principles of the OECD Innovation Strategy in depth: fostering innovative workplaces. The crucial importance of putting human resources to good use has long been acknowledged, but it has so far not played a key role in policy making. One possible reason lies in the lack of supporting data, as organisational learning and knowledge management are difficult to measure. Perhaps more importantly, the organisation of work largely falls out of the scope of policy making. This volume helps us to look at this issue differently. It offers some empirical data to underpin the importance of innovative workplaces, and points to some policy interventions and policy variables that can inspire policy making in this area. This book is also about lifelong learning. Innovation sometimes leads to rapid obsolescence of skills and thus calls for regular workforce retraining. This is one traditional reason to support lifelong learning. The book emphasises another reason: those countries which are leaders in innovation are also those where companies offer more opportunities of learning and training to their employees."
