Biography
Storz, Cornelia
'Storz assembles seven chapters discussing entrepreneurship and innovation in Japan. Scholars from Germany, Japan, Korea, and the US argue that there has been a lack of innovation by Japanese companies and that they face challenges for creating institutional change. They consider policy changes and entrepreneurial behaviour as key to positive growth in innovation in Japan, specifically science and technology policy, technology transfer centers, cognitive models and economic policy, biotechnology innovation, and supplier systems.' - Reference & Research Book News
