Innovation in Japan: An Introduction

Keith Jackson and Philippe Debroux

Asia Pacific Business Review, 2008, vol. 14, issue 3, 285-291

Abstract: Because of the depth and scope of its innovation system, Japan is a reference country in terms of developments in the management of innovation. Japan remains an ambitious country, and, according to recent Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) statistics, maintains its position at the top of rankings for research and development (R&D) expenditure. By international comparisons, the Japanese ‘national innovation system’ (NIS) is distinctive, both in terms of its historical development, and of its likely future shape. This introductory discussion outlines some of the distinctive features of Japanese-style innovation, connecting with the contributions that make up this timely and wide-ranging collection.
