UM: China

Reuters published a guest column by Tom Lyon, director of the University of Michigan Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise, and Peter Adriaens, a UM professor of entrepreneurship. They explore how the U.S. compares with China in terms of innovation and entrepreneurship, specifically in the context of clean energy research. Noting that President Obama has pushed for the U.S. to outpace China, the writers argue that the call to competition shouldn’t get in the way of collaborative efforts between the two countries.
