Managing the Diffusion of Innovations: Understanding the Processes of R&D Collaboration in East Asia and drawing lessons for Australia. A series of collaborative R&D ventures have emerged in East Asia, within quite distinctive institutional frameworks. Unlike the case of many of the collaborative arrangements in the US, Europe or Japan, where mutual risk reduction is frequently the driving influence, in the case of Taiwan, Korea and Singapore it is technological learning, upgrading and catch-up industry creation that is the object of the collaborative exercises. The study is concerned with the evolving organizational architecture of these R&D alliances and seeks to draw comparisons between them and established collaborative arrangements in the USA, Japan and Europe, and draw lessons for Australia.
