Innovation in Japan (Japan Business &, Economics)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this age of high technology, Japan`s success in continuous improvement and innovation in key industries, ranging from steel and automobiles to electronics, has been spectacular, and the unique institutional arrangements that have supported this success have attracted wide attention. Yet, with only a few exceptions, the discussion of Japan`s innovation system has tended to be anecdotal. This book investigates Japan`s current innovation system through empirical, mostly quantitative, research. The authors, the leading Japanese scholars on these subjects, reveal the rich and complex nature of the japanese innovation system, and describe in detail its strengths and weaknesses. [detailed...]

Innovation in Life Cycle Engineering and Sustainable Development

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The focus of this book is the consideration of environmental issues in engineering process and product design. It presents a selection of 30 papers ensuing from the 12th CIRP International seminar on Life Cycle Engineering, held at the university of Grenoble, France, in April 2005. Sustainable development is more and more at the core of government and industry policy. Industrial production and consumption culture are facing dramatic changes due to pollution and waste problems, exhaustion of available non-renewable resources and rapid growth in world population. So, the environmental focus has shifted from production processes to the product’s entire life cycle. The potential of technology to create synergies between environmental protection and economic growth has been recognized. Life cycle engineering aims at providing engineering tools targeted towards cleaner product-oriented activities for improving the environment while contributing to competitiveness and growth….

Innovation in the Pharmaceutical Industry: The Process of Drug Discovery and Development

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionInnovation in the Pharmaceutical Industry traces the discovery and development of drugs in Japan and the UK both historically and sociologically. It includes sixteen case studies of major pharmaceutical developments in the twentieth century, encompassing, among others, beta-blockers, beta-stimulants, inhaled steroids and histamine H2-antagonists. The book illustrates that the four stages of drug development - namely compound, application, organizational authorization and market - are interactively shaped by heterogeneous actors and institutions. The book also identifies three different types of pharmaceutical development - paradigmatic innovation, application innovation and modification-based innovation, all with distinguishable features in the drug development process. Finally, several historical, structural and cultural factors influencing the shaping of medicines are revealed by the comparison between British and Japanese drug innovation. Addressing a number… [detailed...]

Innovation, Creativity, and Discovery in Modern Organizations:

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Bundy shows how the evolution of knowledge can take us to unimaginably higher levels of human achievement, and offers a new model for the understanding and implementation of creativity and discovery. He provides guidelines that will vitalize technical thinking, and useful insights into the creative process that will benefit all who are concerned with growth and innovation, and shows how `unconventionality when reduced to rationalism offers a pathway to successful innovation.` With the global economy expanding so rapidly and with the deplorable rise in the use of technology to create man-made disasters, Bundy shows how essential it is for leaders in industry, government, and politics to understand how innovation occurs, and how to generate and control creativity for the benefit of all of us. Written for laymen as well as specialists in fields other than science, Bundy`s book is a fascinating, needed look into how things come to be what they are and how to bring about new things that… [detailed...]

Innovation, Evolution And Economic Change: New Ideas in the Tradition of Galbraith

2006 y.

Description: John Kenneth Galbraith is an eminent economist and proponent of change. The contributors to the book further his analysis on the evolution of capitalism, taking into account changes to the general economic climate since the publication of J.K.

In the final part, the authors address and explore the consequences of the domination of influential groups over major social and political decisions, on the blurred boundaries between the public and the private sectors and its consequences in the fields of the technological… [detailed...]

Innovation, Growth and Social Cohesion: The Danish Model (New Horizons in the Economics of Innovation)

Publisher: —
Description: Written by the scholar who, together with Chris Freeman, first introduced the concept of the innovation system, this book brings the literature an important step forward. Based upon extraordinarily rich empirical material, it shows how and why competencebuilding and innovation are crucial for economic growth and competitiveness in the current era. It also provides a case study of a small, very successful European economy combining wealth creation with social cohesion. The author?s comparative analysis of innovation systems demonstrates that the ?new economy? can thrive and grow not only in the US-type of economy but also in European economies which exhibit a high degree of social cohesion. He warns against the polarization that may result from a development path where the success of individuals, organizations and national economies reflects their capability to adopt new competencies and skills. He argues that if this kind of learning economy is left unattended, it… [detailed...]

Description: This book is the result of a comparative investigation that contrasts micro-systems of innovation in several regions of China and Australia ? two vastly different countries in terms of traditions, industry structures, political systems and economic organization. Six regional studies comprehensively document the experiences of firms engaged in product or process innovation. The book also examines the institutions that support research and development and the impact of government policies on innovation in each of the regions studied. The case-studies present original and informative insights into the different ways in which local, national and transnational interests interact and influence regional development. These findings support the view thatlocal innovation systems are emerging with quite different structural characteristics. The authors conclude that local, national and transnational dimensions are continually redefining and aligning themselves in novel and interesting… [detailed...]
