Emerging Patterns of Innovation

This book analyzes the reasons that Japanese companies are so successful at technological innovation, and shows that this success is based on seven breakthroughs relative to Western practices, among which figure:
  • innovate on low-end products;
  • start with 'low-tech' markets and migrate toward 'high-tech' markets;
  • invest more in R&D than in production equipment;
  • combine different technologies.
