An innovation management lab exploring the governance of technology shared among companies.

AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the governance of technology shared among companies.
Professor Masanori Yasumoto's lab studies how technology and its development can be controlled as companies disclose and share technology with one another.
In situations where technology is shared through standardization and patents, the lab examines networks of technology citation and sharing inside and outside firms, aiming to clarify how the governance of open technology comes about.
The listed research areas are product development, management of innovation organizations, international comparison of product development organizations, and management of inter-firm relationships.
