摘要：
Does investment in R&D and the hiring of college educated employees result in a higher rate of inventions? The relationship between the input of R&D and inventive output is studied in two samples of Japanese factories, 34 in 1982 and 36 in 1970. These results are compared with findings in a parallel American study. The correlations between R&D and inventivity are similar in Japan and America in the 1980's, despite some differences in the management of innovation in the two nations. Moreover, the most Westernized subsample of Japanese firms in the 1970's had correlations between R&D and invention similar to those observed in the American study. Thus we tentatively conclude that some degree of convergence may be taking place in R&D management strategies in the two nations. © 1990 IEEE
