“…In addition to the information that they can provide on the relationship between sticky information and the functional locus of innovation, such studies can contribute to our understanding of the patterns of cooperation among users and producers during the development process studied by authors such as Rothwell and Gardiner (1985) and Shaw (1985). These authors have pointed out that, especially in the instance of complex and specialized equipment (such as the SEJ inventory management systems we have studied), there is a need for direct cooperation between user and producer during the process of innovation.…”

Scholars have long discussed the locus of innovation and its determinants. There is empirical evidence that innovations can be developed by those holding any of a number of "functional" relationships to them such as manufacturer, user, or materials supplier. Past studies have considered two factors important in predicting the functional locus of innovation. One is "expected profit of a player involved in the innovation" and the other is "stickiness of innovation-related information."Although some studies have shown empirically the link between an innovator's expected profits and the locus of innovation, no research has yet been conducted to test the hypothesized relationship between stickiness of innovation-related information and locus of innovation. In the study reported upon here, I explore relationships between these two variables via a study of 24 innovations for the Japanese convenience-store industry. My study shows empirically that stickiness of innovation-related information does have the hypothesized relationship to the functional locus of innovation. I discuss implications of these findings, and some directions for future research.

The Anthem Studies in Innovation and Development aims to publish cutting-edge scholarship that pushes the boundaries of our understanding of how innovation impacts human and economic development. The aim is to promote a better understanding of innovation, evaluate ongoing approaches to analyse innovation capacity, and to generate a set of instructive readings that elaborate upon the role of innovation capabilities in enabling development, reducing inequality and eliminating poverty. The series is interested in exploring the role of technology and innovation in sustainable development (at the global or sectoral level), links between trade and innovation (including investment and intellectual property rights), the role of the state and new issues in the interface of innovation and industrial policy. The series is particularly interested in analytical approaches to institutional and evolutionary economics, new frameworks and constructs on capabilities building and economic history reviews of innovation and technological change.
