- W2309474771 abstract "IntroductionThis paper takes a criti cal look at Ghana's Science Technology and Innovation (STI) Policy and argues that the conception of innovation therein is partial. Innovation basically is a new approach to resolving existing challenges or forestalling potential challenges. However, Ghana's STI policy framework largely conceptualizes innovation as an offshoot of science and technology. Although this is not necessarily wrong, it is essentially parochial as it cuts out innovations that are not based on science and technology (ST for example, in the public sector and in the domestic economy. This is because the resolution of a number of challenges in the Ghanaian public sector and the domestic economy may actually depend on the generation of new processes and other solutions that are not necessarily science-based.Even in circumstances where ST Stage 2 or the efficiency-driven stage followed by the Transition from Stage 2 to Stage 3 (Schwab, 2014: 9-11).The harsh reality of the state of innovation in Ghana is brought home more when the country is compared in the 2015 Bloomberg Innovation Index to South Korea which topped the index's ranking on Research and Development. In the comparison, it is pointed out how Ghana at the time of its independence had a GDP which was similar to that of South Korea yet lags behind South Korea by far today (Bloomberg Innovation Index, 2015). Ghana's Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Policy cites South Korea in the same context as the Bloomberg report does and seeks to take inspiration from the Asian country (Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation [MESTI], 2010:8).Conceptualising InnovationInnovation has been conceived in many different ways and as such, has remained theoretically ambiguous (Adams, Bessant and Phelps, 2006).
