Innovation and the Patenting of Knowledge in Japanese Corporations

Chapter 9 in Innovation and Change in Japanese Management, 2010, pp 177-198 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Innovation is a complex process, with many interacting factors shaping the outcomes within companies and nations. There are many theories of the determinants of innovation and causal factors, at different levels of analysis (e.g., Castellacci et al., 2005); but many of these theories are incomplete and incommensurable. The outcomes of innovative firms may be modified when they are considered in the national contexts of culture, markets, and innovation systems of Japan (Burgelman and Chesbrough, 2001; Westney, 2000).
