摘要/Abstract

摘要： 日本企业在创新国际化上表现出与欧美企业不同的特色,本文对日本国际化大公司的专利进行分析从而观察其是否遵循异质互补的国际共识。研究选取五个日本国际化大公司和两个美国参照公司的专利作为讨论重点,并配合对全部电学领域专利的分析,考察日本企业的创新特征。本文的分析得出虽然日本企业在创新国际化上有明显的创新向心化倾向,但对资源寻求和能力互补战略的运用并不落后于美国的国际化大公司。本文的研究对于中国企业的启示是不应只看到日本企业在创新国际化中落后的一面,更应注重从其变化的趋势中思考企业创新战略。

关键词: 创新, 专利, 异质性, 互补性

Abstract: Japanese firms have been showing different characteristics in the innovation globalization. The patents of Japanese firms are analyzed to show whether or not they are performing the international wisdom of heterogeneous complementarity in the innovation. Patents from the database of OECD triadic patent families of five Japanese firms and two benchmark American firms in addition to all patent families within area H (Electrics) are analyzed. The results show that although Japanese firms have stronger centralization tendency comparing with their America rivals in innovation, in term of application of resources seeking and capability complementary strategies, Japanese firms stand the same position with their American counterparts. The meaning is that Chinese firms should be paid much attention not only to the backword status of Japanese firms in the innovation globalization, but also to their enterprise innovative strategy in the changing trends.

Key words: innovation, patent, heterogeneity, complementarity
