  • Management of science, serendipity, and research performance: Evidence from a survey of scientists in Japan and the U.S.

    Kota Murayama, Makoto Nirei, Hiroshi Shimizu

    Research Policy   44 ( 4 ) 862 - 873  2015  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    In science, research teams are increasing in size, which suggests that science is becoming more organisational. This paper aims to empirically investigate the effects of the division of labour in management and science on serendipity, which has been considered one of the great factors in science. Specifically, in examining the survey of scientists conducted in Japan and the U.S., this paper treats the following questions: Does pursuing serendipity really bring about better scientific outcomes? How does the division of labour in science influence serendipity and publication productivity? The empirical results suggest that serendipity actually brings about better research quality on average. It also finds that if the managerial role is played by a leading scientist in the team, this is positively associated with the quality of the paper through allowing researchers to pursue serendipitous findings. In contrast, if the managerial role and leading research role are played by different members, this has a positive association with the number of papers published, as the project size becomes larger. These results indicate there is a trade-off between serendipity and publication productivity in science via who plays the leading role in research and management. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

    RESEARCH POLICY   42 ( 10 ) 1780 - 1792  2013.12  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    It is well known that not all innovations are patented, but the exact volume of innovative activities undertaken outside the coverage of patent protection and, relatedly, the actual propensity to patent an innovation in different contexts remain, to a major degree, a matter of speculation. This paper presents an exploratory study comparing systematically patented and unpatented innovations over the period 1977-2004 across industrial sectors. The main data source is the 'R&D 100 Awards' competition organized by the journal Research and Development. Since 1963, the magazine has been awarding this prize to the 100 most technologically significant new products available for sale or licensing in the year preceding the judgments. We match the products winners of the R&D 100 awards competition with USPTO patents and we examine the variation of patent propensity across different contexts (industries, geographical areas and organizations). Finally we compare our findings with previous assessments of patent propensity based on several sources of data. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • Schumpeterian patterns of innovation and the sources of breakthrough inventions: evidence from a data-set of R&D awards

    Roberto Fontana, Alessandro Nuvolari, Hiroshi Shimizu, Andrea Vezzulli

    JOURNAL OF EVOLUTIONARY ECONOMICS   22 ( 4 ) 785 - 810  2012.09  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    This paper examines the relationship between Schumpeterian patterns of innovation and the generation of breakthrough inventions. Our data source for breakthrough inventions is the "R&D 100 awards" competition organized each year by the magazine Research & Development. Since 1963, this magazine has been awarding this prize to 100 most technologically significant new products available for sale or licensing in the year preceding the judgment. We use USPTO patent data to measure the relevant dimensions of the technological regime prevailing in each sector and, on this basis, we provide a characterization of each sector in terms of the Schumpeter Mark I/Schumpeter Mark II archetypes. Our main finding is that breakthrough inventions are more likely to emerge in 'turbulent' Schumpeter Mark I type of contexts.

  • Team familiarity, task familiarity, and quality competition: Evidence from Japanese sake brewing

    Sen Zhang, Hang Yuan, Mengru Zhao, Donghoon Kim, Keisuke Hori, Yusuke Hoshino, Hiroshi Shimizu

    Journal of Wine Economics     1 - 19  2025.01

    　View Summary

    Abstract

    Using longitudinal data on teams and quality competition results, this study examines the impact of team and task familiarity on brewing excellence in the Japanese sake industry from 1956 to 2018. Sake production involves teamwork at every stage, but while some teams work together long term, others experience high turnover. The study highlights two factors: team familiarity, the collective experience of working together, and task familiarity, the individual experience of the task. High familiarity can strengthen team bonds and improve teamwork, but it can also limit the inflow of new knowledge and thus hinder innovation. This study uses data from national quality competitions and brewer lists, and considers the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 as an external shock to address endogeneity and estimate the causal relationship between familiarity and competition outcomes. The empirical results show that increases in both team and task familiarity are negatively associated with quality superiority.

  • ORCHESTRATING INNOVATION: DIVERSITY OF TEAM CHARACTERISTICS IN THE SYMPHONY OF NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

    HANG YUAN, SEN ZHANG, MENGRU ZHAO, KEISUKE HORI, YUSUKE HOSHINO, HIROSHI SHIMIZU

    International Journal of Innovation Management    2024.07

    　View Summary

    This study investigates the strategic orchestration of New Product Development (NPD) teams, focusing on how age diversity influences their innovation capabilities within the competitive landscape of firms. As firms encounter an evolving demographic landscape, the role of team composition, particularly age diversity, becomes critical in tuning innovation and market alignment. This paper synthesises the disparate findings from the innovation management literature on the impact of age diversity, employing dual theoretical perspectives: information/decision-making and similarity/categorisation. The former suggests that age diversity brings diverse knowledge that boosts innovation, while the latter indicates it might hinder social cohesion and team performance. Addressing the gaps in existing research, this study explores tenure diversity and team familiarity as moderators in the age diversity–performance relationship. It hypothesises that tenure diversity can enhance knowledge exchange and innovation but may complicate social interactions, whereas high team familiarity might restrict new idea generation by homogenising knowledge. Empirical analysis conducted on a dataset of 21,370 observations from Japanese sake breweries reveals that tenure diversity and team familiarity are critical in moderating the effects of age diversity on NPD outcomes. These findings enrich the NPD literature by highlighting the importance of demographic diversity and provide new insights into managing age-related dynamics in team settings. The study underscores the need for managerial strategies that leverage demographic diversity to enhance NPD effectiveness.

    　View Summary

    Japan experienced a transformational phase of technological development during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. We argue that an important, but so far neglected, factor was a developing market for innovation and a patent-attorney system that was conducive to rapid technical change. We support our hypothesis using patent data and we also present a detailed case study on Tomogorō Ono, a key developer of salt-production technology who used attorneys in connection with his patenting work at a time when Japan was still in the process of formally institutionalizing its patent-attorney system. In accordance with Lamoreaux and Sokoloff's 1999 influential study of trade in invention in the United States, our quantitative and qualitative evidence highlights how inventors and intermediaries in Japan interacted to create a market for new ideas. © 2013 The President and Fellows of Harvard College.

    United States organisations took a clear lead in semiconductor laser research until the mid-1970s. After the 1980s, many important breakthroughs were developed by Japanese organisations. Exploring the journal Applied Physics Letters, this study examines how semiconductor laser technology developed in these two countries and how this change in the country-level industrial leadership in the scientific research occurred. Examining the relationship among industrial organisations, research networks, and scientific breakthroughs, it discusses how these coevolved and how breakthroughs were channelled in different directions. R&D targets were channelled into small markets in the US, but were concentrated into the same markets in Japan.

    　View Summary

    With the advancement of technology and increase in its complexity, the use of external information and resources provides companies with an important competitive advantage. In addition, the university-industry relationship has received attention with increases in the importance of science. Exploring papers on laser diodes published in Applied Physics Letters and patents from 1960 to 2000, this study analyses the roles of corporate scientists with doctoral degrees in laser diode technology. The study focuses on the different roles played by two types of doctoral scientists: university-based and industry-based. It explores both direct and indirect contributions of doctoral corporate scientists to R&amp
    D by examining their papers and patents. The results indicate that both types achieved a higher average number of papers and patents than non-doctoral scientists. Exploring the co-authors of doctoral scientists to determine the indirect effect of doctoral scientists on corporate R&amp
    D, this study observes that the co-authors of industry-based doctoral corporate scientists published more papers or filed more patents. This study confirms that industry-based doctoral corporate scientists play an important role in promoting corporate R&amp
    D by linking corporate R&amp

Scrutinising the level of vertical integration, entrepreneurial start-ups, scientists' mobility and research networks, it shows that RD efforts were scattered over different technological domains, giving US firms the chance to obtain technological advantages in customised and small markets. RD efforts were concentrated in the same targeted markets in Japan, giving Japanese companies the opportunity to capture the markets offering the highest sales volumes.

    　View Summary

    By exploring the U.S. and Japanese engineers' networking and research outcome in semiconductor laser technology, this study aims to investigate how the central location in research networks among engineers influenced their research outcome. More concretely, exploring co-authored papers on semiconductor laser technology published in Applied Physics Letters, this study examines how structural location could be advantageous for U.S. and Japanese engineers and how they used networks in their research. It presents that degree centrality, which is measured by the number of direct ties, is positively associated with the number of citations that an engineer obtained for both U.S. and Japanese engineers. It also observes that betweenness, which locates the geodesic paths between all pairs of engineers and counts how frequently each engineer falls in each pathway, does not show significant influence on research outcome for both U.S. and Japanese engineers. Even though this paper presents that being centrally located with direct ties plays an important role in U.S. and Japanese research networks, it shows different network formation between U.S and Japanese engineers. It presents that U.S. engineers developed their networks beyond their organizational boundary, while Japanese engineers heavily relied on in-house networks.

    　View Summary

    The main object of this article is to analyze the strategy of Chisso Corporation when Minamata Disease became a social issue and to explain the paradox of the strategy. I scrutinize the decision-making process of Chisso, which was one of the leading firms in Japanese chemical industry and which caused Minamata disease, one of the worst pollution incidents in Japan. This article focuses on why Chisso increased production despite the knowledge that this would intensify the suffering as well as increase the number of victims.<BR>On the basis of this analysis, it can be concluded that increasing production, which only served to spread the suffering, was the means Chisso used to avoid the further expansion of Minamata disease. The backdrop of this paradox was a complex situation in which the policies of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry's (MITI) and the local government, the strategies of rival firms, and technological change were intertwined.

    2020年度は当初の計画通り、南部杜氏協会の名簿の入力作業を行った。データベース作成は、研究組織のメンバーが行うには膨大すぎるため、相見積もりの上、業者に委託した。委託の結果、当初の予定より早く、2021年2月には全期間のデータ入力を完了させることができた。
    また、本研究の関連分野で投稿を進めていた論文がいくつか掲載された。特に強調すべきは、査読付き英文学会誌に掲載された” Apprenticeship and product quality: empirical analysis on the sake brewing industry” であった。この論文は、現行の研究プロジェクトの前段にあたるものである。日本酒産業では従来、農閑期に杜氏（酒造現場の責任者）を酒蔵が雇うことで日本酒を生産している。その杜氏を季節雇用のままとするか、正社員として雇用するかによって、鑑評会で受賞するか、すなわち高い品質の製品を生み出せるかどうかを検討した。分析の結果について、統計的な有意差が出ることが明らかにされた。
    さらに、関連分野であるイノベーションに関する論文を2本発表した。うち1本は、カンファレンスペーパーではあるが、査読ありの英文論文であった。最後の1本は大学研究紀要である。2020年度のすべての論文業績は、オープンアクセスとなっている。
    ただし、順調ではなかった点もある。それは、COVID-19によって、各種学会が開催されなかったり、オンライン開催となってしまったことである。特に、申請者らが重視しているイノベーション分野の著名学会であるInternational Schumpeter Societyが延期となったのは、仕方ないとはいえ、研究の進捗に若干の影響を与えた。
    以上のように、COVID-19の影響はありつつも、2020年度は予定通りに進捗したといえる。

    　View Summary

    This research project has scrutinized corporate entrepreneurship by examining firm age, new entrants, and ROA volatility. We show that US firms lose efficiency, as measured by total asset turnover as they age, whereas Japanese firms’ability to generate profit from sales declines. By examining the technological distance, we calculate resource allocation rigidity of the firms. The results show at all ages, Japanese firms are more rigid than their US counterparts, although the slope is steeper in the case of US firms. These observations suggest that Japanese firms’operating profit margins decline as they age because they are less likely to change how they allocate resources and tend to stay in their existing business sectors, even if they are underperforming.

    　View Summary

    This research project aimed exploring the relationship among spin-outs, labor mobility, and innovations in general purpose technology. It showed that the cumulative features of technological development gradually disappeared due to the surge in entrepreneurial spin-outs in the industry in the U.S. Subsequent technological development plays an important role when a technology is still in a nascent stage. Thus, R&D competition in cumulative technological development contributes to technological development until the technology fully matures. According to the technological trajectory perspective, entrepreneurial spin-outs can hinder technological development when the technology is at a nascent stage, because the cumulative effects of incremental innovations on the technological trajectory could disappear if the R&D personnel are thinned out to target different sub-markets.

    By exploring the patterns of technological development in the laser diode, fiber, and industrial machinery industries in the U.S. and Japan and theoretically examining market conditions and institutions that promote entrepreneurial spin-outs from a parental company, this research project aims to reveal how the existence and absence of entrepreneurial spin-out influence the ways in which technological trajectories emerge.
    The case studies show that vibrant entrepreneurial spin-out could hinder technological development, since the cumulative effects of incremental innovations on the technological trajectories could vanish if many firms spin out to target untapped sub-markets.

    This project explored the relationship between research networks and innovations in the U. S. and Japan in the field of laser diodes based on patent and bibliographic analysis and interviews. It observed that the research networks highly developed in the U. S. and many of the technological innovations were developed through the networks. The networks were very sporadic and not developed in Japan. R & D targets were channeled into small and niche markets in the U. S. through the well-developed research networks, but were concentrated into the same markets in Japan. The concentrated R & D targets promoted the development of basic technologies.

    　View Summary

    蒸気機関や人工知能などのジェネラル・パーパス・テクノロジー（GPTs）は、広範な分野で利用され、経済の生産性向上に大きく貢献すると考えられる。本研究プロジェクトは、GPTsの生成と波及、その影響を分析するものである。具体的には、特許や論文の書誌情報を用いて技術の汎用性の程度を数量的に測定し、①汎用性の高い技術（知識）はどのように生まれるのか、②どのように広がるのか、③マクロ経済や雇用、企業の競争力にどのような影響を与えるのかについて実証的に検証することを目的とする。これまでのGPTs研究は、有名な事例の質的なケーススタディが中心であり、GPTsを蒸気機関やレーザーのように大まかに捉え、当該技術の中でも汎用性の高い技術とそうでない技術（専用技術）があることを無視してきた。その結果、それぞれの事例の知見は蓄積されたものの、GPTsの精確な把握や、その生成・波及・影響に関する体系的な知識の蓄積には至っていない。したがって、本研究プロジェクトの特徴は、技術の汎用性の高さを数量的に測定する点にある。より具体的には、特許データを用いて技術の汎用性を把握し、GPTsの実証的な測定をグローバルなレベルで行う。ただし、そのためには、特許をパテント・ファミリーレベルで集約したデータベースが必要となる。2025年度、本研究では、アメリカの特許庁のデータ（Patents Viewから取得）および日本の特許庁のデータ（IIPパテントデータベースから取得）を用いて予備的調査を実施した。これらの特許データはファミリーレベルに集約されていないため、グローバルなレベルでのGPTsの測定にそのまま利用することはできないが、それぞれの国における傾向を把握することは可能であった。この予備的調査をもとに、科研の基盤Sを申請し、採択に至った。
