Göran Roos is a Swedish academic, technologist, author and businessman. He is a specialist in the field of intellectual capital and an expert in innovation management and strategy. He was appointed Thinker in Residence by the Government of South Australia in 2011, and as of 2015 remains based in South Australia where he serves as a member of the state's Economic Development Board.[1] Roos was named one of the 13 most influential thinkers for the 21st century by the Spanish business journal Direccion y Progreso.[2]

Career

Roos is the founder of Intellectual Capital Services Ltd., a technology and business futures think-tank. He has co-authored many of the company's research publications.[3] In 2013 he founded the private company Innovation Performance Australia Pty. Ltd.[4] Roos also sits on the Board of Seeley International.[5]

His research work in South Australia as Thinker in Residence resulted in the Manufacturing into the Future report, which laid the foundation for South Australia’s subsequent industrial development strategy, Manufacturing Works.[6] One of Roos' public presentations, entitled The future of manufacturing in Australia: Innovation and productivity featured in the CEDA's Top Ten Speeches of 2013.[7] As of 2015, Roos remains based in South Australia, where he holds positions of influence on a number of Government boards, advisory groups and councils at State and Federal levels. His memberships include:[1]

Roos has held a number of academic positions internationally. His academic positions as of October 2014 include:[6]

He is a former Honorary Professor at Warwick Business School and visiting Professor of Intangible Asset Management and Performance Measurement at the Centre for Business Performance at Cranfield University in the United Kingdom. He is also a former visiting Professor of Innovation Management and Business Model Innovation at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland,[9] where he was also a member of the board and chairman of the board (VTT International). He has also been a Senior Advisor to Aalto Executive Education Academy, a part-time visiting Intellectual Capital Adjunct at Melbourne Business School, Mt. Eliza Centre for Executive Education and Part-time Industrial Professor of Strategy and Internationalisation at BI Norwegian Business School in Oslo.[6][dead link]

He is also a former member of the Australian Prime Minister's Manufacturing Leaders Group.[8]

In his combined academic and professional life, Roos has advised government bodies in Australia, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom on matters of "strategy, research and development, national and regional innovation systems issues, knowledge management and intellectual capital." He has also consulted with the private sector.[9]

Roos is a published author of over 100 books, articles and case studies.[1][9]

Politics

Roos has made a number of contributions to debate in Australia regarding its Future Submarine project. For example, he has asked whether Australia's sovereign capability could be compromised if its next fleet of submarines is built off-shore[10] and has questioned whether a foreign manufacturer would be willing to hand over its intellectual property if it were awarded the contract.[11] Roos has also published articles on the economic cost of an off-shore build, questioning the Federal Government's apparent eagerness to purchase submarines from another country, rather than committing to building them in South Australia.[5] He wrote four articles on the topic for The Conversation between October 2014 and February 2015.[12]

In 2013, Roos supported students of the South Australian Defence Industry Leadership Program (SADILP) in the preparation of a paper entitled "A Nuclear Future for South Australia."[13]

In 2014, Roos' expenditure of public funds during his work as a State Government contractor attracted some controversy.[14] The Opposition claimed that Roos had spent almost $40,000 during the period October through November 2013.[15] The State Government rejected the controversy, calling it "petty payback from the Liberal Party" following Roos' involvement in the submarine debate.[16]
