在整个20世纪80年代，日本在全球竞争中发挥了重要作用，主要是通过塑造全球技术轨迹，改变全球主要产业，促进工业生产过程的基本创新，在此过程中创造了足够的财富，推动日本成为世界第二大经济体。然而，在20世纪90年代初经济泡沫破裂后，美国硅谷等其他地方走到了技术、产业和生产转型的前沿，创造了巨额财富。虽然从20世纪90年代开始，日本在全球竞争中的角色似乎变得无关紧要，但仔细分析表明，日本实际上正在悄然、渐进、但意义重大地转型。在“融合”模式下，日本经济转型的特点是战略和组织的新形式、传统形式和混合形式并存。本文考察了“新”和新兴“混合”领域的核心领域——创业生态系统和精选大公司在公司边界之外利用新形式创新的努力。日本的创业生态系统，虽然与硅谷相比仍然很小，但在过去的20年里，通过监管转变、企业转型和技术突破，日本的创业生态系统发生了巨大的变化，带来了巨大的新机遇。小松（Komatsu）、本田（Honda）、丰田（Toyota）和雅马哈（Yamaha）等一些大公司正在进行日本近代史上前所未见的创新努力，将硅谷和其他初创企业生态系统纳入其核心业务领域。
Through the 1980s, Japan was significant in global competition largely by shaping global technological trajectories, transforming major global industries, and contributing to fundamental innovations in industrial production processes, creating enough wealth along the way to propel Japan to the world’s second largest economy. After the economic bubble burst in the early 1990s, however, other places such as Silicon Valley in the United States, moved to the forefront of transforming technology, industries, and production, creating vast wealth along the way. While Japan’s role in global competition seemingly became largely irrelevant from the 1990s onward, careful analyses reveal that Japan was in fact transforming quietly and gradually, but significantly. In a pattern of “syncretism,” Japan’s economic transformation was characterized by the coexistence of new, traditional, and hybrid forms of strategy and organization. This paper examines core areas of the “new” and emerging “hybrid” areas — the startup ecosystem and the efforts of select large firms to harness new forms of innovation from outside their corporate borders. Japan’s startup ecosystem, though still small compared to Silicon Valley, as is everywhere else, has dramatically transformed over the past twenty years through a combination of regulatory shifts, corporate transformations, and technological breakthroughs that have opened up vast new opportunities. Some large corporations such as Komatsu, Honda, Toyota, and Yamaha are undertaking innovative efforts of sorts unseen in Japan’s recent history to harness Silicon Valley and other startup ecosystems into their core business areas.
