Yesterdays Sunday Business Post carried a piece by Charles Larkin and Jacco Thijssen on Innovation that is worth reading
here
The recently formed Swan Group mentioned in the piece is described below:
"The Swan Group is an interdisciplinary research group formed in late 2007. Our research interests are in the areas of economic theory, education, legal systems, political economy and innovation policy. In January 2008 our group was granted funding support by the FBD Trust to investigate the Irish Government's policies in the areas of education and innovation. Our topic is "Education Policy and Economic Growth - Perspectives for Development & Reform". The group will be publishing a series of working papers on this website and will be delivering a final report in January 2009.

On our name...
The research group choose this name due to the popular appeal of what has been termed "Black Swan Theory". This is the theory of highly uncertain, unlikely events that have a significant impact on financial markets. The research team has a deep interest in the question of uncertainty versus risk in the area of innovation policy. Innovation policy in Ireland has had far-reaching educational and fiscal policy implications that are important to economic performance and the future development of Ireland.The Swan Group is an interdisciplinary research group formed in late 2007.
