International business connections, domestic inter-firm networks and corporate technology development paths of Japanese firms.
Zhang, Yanli.

International business connections, domestic inter-firm networks and corporate technology development paths of Japanese firms. - 173 p.

Adviser: John A. Cantwell.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Rutgers The State University of New Jersey - Newark, 2007.

My dissertation explores three interrelated questions in the context of large Japanese firms: first, what is the role of international business connections in corporate technology development; second, what is the role of domestic inter-firm networks; and third, how do international connections and domestic inter-firm networks interact in the process of shaping corporate technology development? Furthermore, I study how this three-way relationship between international connections, domestic inter-firm networks, and corporate technology development has changed historically, from the interwar years (1920s-late 1930s) to the present.

520 $a My dissertation explores three interrelated questions in the context of large Japanese firms: first, what is the role of international business connections in corporate technology development; second, what is the role of domestic inter-firm networks; and third, how do international connections and domestic inter-firm networks interact in the process of shaping corporate technology development? Furthermore, I study how this three-way relationship between international connections, domestic inter-firm networks, and corporate technology development has changed historically, from the interwar years (1920s-late 1930s) to the present.
520 $a The dissertation shows that international business connections have played an important role in the catch up experience of Japanese firms, and domestic inter-firm networks during the stages of catch up, used to interact favorably with international connections and facilitate the technology transfer from foreign firms. However, the dissertation also shows that after Japanese firms had caught up with firms, the role of its domestic inter-firm networks gradually shifted to become more constraining in establishing open international connections and global learning.
520 $a Furthermore, the findings in this dissertation suggest that we need to consider the underlying nature and mechanisms of a network for its impact on firms' knowledge access and innovation abilities. More specifically, it is shown that belonging to a horizontal or vertical network tends to have subtly different influences on firms' innovation and global learning. In essence, this dissertation highlights the importance of considering the specificities of the time, context, and nature of the phenomenon in examining the roles of international connections and domestic institutions on firms' paths of technology development.
520 $a The main data source is the US patent data, which offers the primary evidence for the evolution of technological profiles and the global learning of Japanese firms. In addition, two other sources of data---historical accounts and technology licensing data---are used to supplement the primary data source and provide a historical perspective on the technology transfer through inward foreign direct investment during the interwar period and technology licensing during the postwar period.
