Creativity Lab: Where some dreams come true
The Industrial Technology Research Institute "a non-profit R&D organization engaging in applied research and technical service... founded in 1973 by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) to attend to the technological needs of Taiwan's industrial development" (http://www.itri.org.tw/eng/index.jsp) has announced the creation of a new division, the Creativity Lab. The creativity lab was modeled after our own MIT Media Lab, created to bridge the gap between research and industry. Unsatisfied with the limited flexibility of an industrial-based economy, the Taiwanese in charge of the Creativity Lab want to expand into the world of i nnovation and intellectual property:
"Taiwanese enterprises have forged a name in manufacturing capability on the world stage. They are a bunch of fast adapters and excel at meeting clients' requirements. But innovation is a critical element if they want to bring their success to the next level," said the lab's general director Hsueh Wen-jean
Organizations that are interested in creating added value, especially those that are involved in the brandname business, should cultivate a corporate culture that encourages creativity and empowers staff to think out of the box, Hsueh said.
I wonder what China will come up with in response to this...
