This chapter shows how much China caught up in the global innovation race, using international indices of innovation performance, and data on R&D expenditures, higher education, scientific outputs, and patents. Frameworks such as ‘windows of opportunity’ are used to explore how China catches up in innovation and is changing policies from importing innovation to developing ‘indigenous innovation’. The bottlenecks confronting China’s catch-up and leadership are examined using the case of semiconductors, Huawei, and 5G, and the chapter poses the question whether the country can overcome such bottlenecks in core technologies. To do so, it is argued that greater investment is needed in basic research, especially by enterprises.

As with all new ideas, the concept of Open Innovation requires extensive empirical investiga-tion, testing and development. This paper analyzes Procter and Gamble’s ‘Connect and Develop ’ strategy as a case study of the major organizational and technological changes associated with open innovation. It argues that although some of the organizational changes accompanying open innovation are beginning to be described in the literature, more analysis is warranted into the ways technological changes have facilitated open innovation strategies, particularly related to new product development. Information and communications technol-ogies enable the exchange of distributed sources of information in the open innovation process. The case study shows that furthermore a suite of new technologies for data mining, simulation, prototyping and visual representation, what we call ‘innovation technology’, help to support open innovation in Procter and Gamble. The paper concludes with a suggested rese...

Creativity and innovation are both issues of considerable interest to the management field as they are the primary means by which organisations survive and thrive in changing and uncertain circumstances. Study of the management of creativity and innovation, however, has evolved as two separate fields: scholars consider creativity or innovation and rarely the relationships between them. As creativity is commonly seen as the origination of ideas and insights and innovation as their application to commercial advantage in new products, ...

Abstract Collaboration is a feature of many high-technology industries, and there are reasons to expect firms to benefit from partnerships, particularly in costly, complex and rapidly changing technologies. The author looks at why not all R&D partnership projects reduce management costs and prevent having to share future income streams from the R&D

The industrial system in Japan has created the economic success story of the 20th century. While there are major adjustments taking place in Japan, its industrial system will remain a source of strength and will continue to underpin an adaptable and innovative economy. The three Oxford University Press books reviewed here analyse the characteristic features of the Japanese industrial system and the sources of its continuing vitality. I

Abstract Companies increasingly collaborate in their technological activities. Collaboration enables firms to learn about uncertain and turbulent technological change, and enhances their ability to deal with novelty. A number of studies reveal the importance for successful collaboration of high levels of inter-personal trust between scientists, engineers, and managers in the different partners. However, these individual relationships are vulnerable to labor turnover and inter-personal difficulties. Using two examples of highly successful ...

Abstract Technological collaboration between firms is argued to be increasing and to be an important element of corporate and technological development. Such collaboration is actively promoted by governments. It is a central element of the 'techno-globalism'analysis of future international economic and technology development. There are many reasons for the promotion of collaboration, but its outcomes are mixed. Collaboration may reflect industrial and technological weakness; it has a limited technology focus, rarely appropriate to world ...

Abstract Significant new university initiatives are usually analysed from the perspectives of government policy, university strategy or the entrepreneurship of particular individuals, but rarely from the view of their interdependencies. This paper reports on the creation of four Smart State Institutes at the University of Queensland in Australia and the concatenation of circumstances, decisions and actions that led to their formation. In the course of just over a decade, these Institutes, addressing biotechnology, nanotechnology, neuroscience and ...

Collaboration between firms, once believed unambiguously to be characteristic of anti-competitive cartels and monopolistic behaviour, is now, in the fields of research and technology, positively associated with industrial dynamism and innovation. Firms actively collaborate in their technological activities–through joint ventures, strategic alliances, joint R&D contracts, and various innovation networks–despite the possibility of the loss of proprietary assets, and the probability of shared returns from these investments. ...
