Overview

Strengthening the capability of Japanese industry to realize innovations is a necessary condition for enhancing the economic growth of Japan. This study focuses on assessing such capability from an international perspective. More specifically, we (1) conduct a comparative analysis of the R&D performance of the Japanese industry, (2) conduct an investigation of the impacts of policy reforms pursued by the JPOs, (3) develop a volume from both existing and ongoing research for publication (preliminarily titled “Investigating the Innovation Capability of Japanese Industry).
