“…For instance, inter-firm networks at home (being deeply embedded in Japanese institutional structures) have been found to affect the ability of Japanese-owned companies to utilize international research networks and tap into international centres of excellence for a diversity of technologies. These firms need to successfully combine, rather than distinguish between and separate, their domestic and overseas inter-firm R&D networks, and to learn to better coordinate a wider system of transnationally interconnected yet independently creative R&D networks (Cantwell and Zhang, 2006;Zhang and Cantwell, 2011;Iguchi, 2012;Giroud et al, 2014).…”

Professor Abo presents in this journal a historical overview on the international transfer of the Japanese management and production system. Our commentary argues that the model would benefit from integrating recent theoretical developments on MNEs and from refining the cultural analyses in individual sub-regional contexts. We also present some future research questions raised from the JMNESG's work, and conclude that although a Japanese way of conducting business internationally exists, more research is needed on how the Japanese management system evolves in the context of a more global and interconnected world where subsidiaries are developing as knowledge creators.

“…While some studies have investigated internal organization for innovation, other researchers concentrate on inter-organizational forms of collaboration in the development and commercialization of new products and services [3]. Thus, external collaboration is a critical means to augment the internal value creation activities of an organization and reinforce its competitive advantages because the locus of innovation lies not inside the firm but in the spaces between the firm and its external partners [4,5]. In addition, the inter-firm collaboration can achieve sustainable growth by building various eco-networks [6].…”

Abstract:Recently, innovative changes in information technology (IT) trends, such as cloud computing and deep learning, have led IT companies to focus on collaboration for sustainable growth. This paper investigates collaboration strategies and success factors for IT service companies via a survey-based empirical study of Korean leading IT firms. Four types of collaboration were identified by considering the types of customer relationship and the target market: offshore, joint venture, collaboration with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and partnership with major local firms. Then, based on a Plan-Do-See management activity process, this paper considers success factors in the planning process and collaboration process, and analyzes an impact of these factors on collaboration performance such as financial performance, process innovation, improving competitiveness, and technology acquisition. As a result, the success factors differ according to the types of performance measures as well as the collaboration types. In particular, the characteristics of partners positively influence competitiveness in captive and global markets, while they improve process innovation in open and domestic markets. This study attempts to provide insight for companies in the IT service industry about how collaboration activities could enhance performance, depending on the alliance types.

“…The last model is characterized by a great number of R&D relations in a business group, which should flourish from organizational learning and increase the efficiency of operations worldwide. It can be the optimal pattern for configuring global R&D activates but not for all business groups -as we should consider the economic situation of a country (Kaszowska-Mojsa, 2020) and regional context when analyzing R&D coope ration in a business group (Giroud, Ha, and Yamin, 2014).…”

Purpose: The study aims to identify the main directions of intragroup cooperation, along with crucial areas of cooperation in business groups, and develops theoretical models of cooperation in a business group. Methodology: The qualitative approach is applied in the study that is based on the cross-case analysis of four business groups operating in Poland. Findings: Results indicate that business groups cooperate mainly vertically (cooperation between the core company and affiliates) in operations. Horizontal (among affiliates) and vertical cooperation in other areas – marketing, R&D, finance, and human resources – are not so intense. The study enables us to propose a theoretical framework of cooperation models in business groups based on two dimensions – the direction of cooperation and the number of cooperation areas. It leads to the identification of four models: two-sided loose cooperation, two-sided tight cooperation, multi-sided loose cooperation, and multi-sided tight cooperation. Implications: Identification of main directions of cooperation in business groups, along with areas of cooperation have implications for both researchers and managers. Findings of the study and the theoretical framework of cooperation models in business groups can be used as a basis for the further theoretical exploration of the organization and functioning of business groups in the economy and a strategic decision guideline for managers. Originality: The literature focuses mainly on the interorganizational cooperation between dispersedly owned standalone entities. Studies on intraorganizational cooperation in business groups are limited. The study aims to provide a better understanding of cooperation between entities in business groups.
