授業の概要と目的（何を学ぶか）Outline and objectives
Innovation plays an important role in economic growth. This course seeks to provide the foundational concepts and understanding of central aspects of Innovation. We will address questions such as: What is innovation? Are patents the best option and are there other ways of providing incentives to innovate? How do we measure Innovation? What are the linkages between Government, Businesses and Universities in facilitating R&D? Why and how do firms innovate, and what are some of the challenges they face? Students will explore these and other questions to understand this complex process of innovation.The latter part of the course will deal with the study of Japan’s corporate network-the keiretsu- and some case studies on innovation in this globalized world.
