Douglas Fraser asks why Scotland is not keeping up as an inventive nation.

Douglas Fraser talks to Robert Crawford, former head of Scottish Enterprise, and Stephen Boyd of the STUC about how Scotland can keep up as an inventive nation.

On this week's programme Douglas asks why Scotland as an inventive nation, doesn't keep up these days. He hears from the former head of Scottish Enterprise, Robert Crawford, who calls for some radical action to help the economy grow and from Stephen Boyd from the STUC who agrees Scotland must take a more international approach.
Also on the programme, as the legal profession grapples with some of the biggest changes for decades, Douglas examines how companies are adapting.
And ahead of an announcement about which rail firm has won control of the west coast line, Douglas finds out which Scottish firm is likely to be the victor.
