Milking partners or symbiotic know-how enhancement? International versus national alliances in Japan's biotech industry

Abstract: It is frequently contended that as for research and development (R&D), the scientific basis of innovation, Japan has been a freerider with respect to the international community. It is generally accepted, both within and outside the country, that, be that as it may, Japan as an important "frontier economy" can no longer rest on this position (e.g., cf. Ueda, 1996, p. 22).This paper is about one possible way out of this unsatisfactory situation, i.e. (research) alliances among companies, in order to complement … Show more

“…A systematic investigation is required to determine whether the same antecedents apply to EMNEs. Much is known about how AMNEs internationalize their R&D activities through various entry modes: strategic alliances (Gassel and Pascha, 2000), international joint ventures (Richards and De Carolis, 2003), international subsidiaries (Allred and Swan, 2004), greenfield FDI (Liu and Zou, 2008), mergers and acquisitions (Haasis et al , 2018), offshoring (Nieto and Rodriguez, 2011) and outsourcing (Martínez-Noya and García-Canal, 2011). However, the preferred entry modes for firms from emerging economies and the circumstances under which EMNEs prefer one entry mode over others remain unknown.…”

“…Managers that create and combine resources contribute to a firms' competitive advantage and strategic direction (Andersson, ; Alvarez & Busentitz, 2001). Resources can be classified in different ways (Chetty & Wilson, ; Gassel & Pascha, ; Tolstoy & Agndal, ; Wei & Clegg, ), this study employs the same classification Tolstoy and Agndal () developed: market, human, reputational, financial, physical, and technical resources. Their classifications were derived from other studies in the biotech industry (e.g., Ahn & Meeks, ; Gassel & Pascha, ; Powell, Koput, & Smith‐Doerr, ).…”
