Origins of Japanese industrial research: prewar government policy and in- house research at Mitsubishi Nagasaki Shipyard
Article Abstract:
A well-defined policy of prioritizing industrial research was already in place in Japan before World War II. Since the onset of the 20th century, large engineering firms such as Mitsubishi Nagasaki Shipyard maintained research departments which focused on adapting and enhancing imported technology. These findings underscore the importance of research in amassing technological capabilities for the adoption and improvement of foreigntechnology. The benefits of long-range technological learning in increasing competitiveness in the world economy is also emphasized.
