The intangible capitalist economy, that is intellectual capitalism,
continues evolving, driven by technological innovations and various
forms of entrepreneurship. The creation of intellectual capital and
intellectual properties lies at its heart. This eagerly anticipated
book analyzes the many complex links between R&D, patents,
innovations, entrepreneurship, growth and value creation in this
process. Based on an extensive array of national empirical and
policy studies, Ove Granstrand explores a comprehensive range of
innovation and intellectual property (IP) issues that pertain not
only to Europe but to the entire world. These issues include the
role of patents and licensing in the governance of technology and
innovation, and the many uses and abuses of patents. The text also
details new IP phenomena in an increasingly patent-intensive world
with patent-rich multinationals and patent-savvy new entrants from
Asia. In a world facing challenges that call for innovative
responses, this book contains a set of valuable policy
recommendations for strengthening innovativeness for economic
growth and ultimately for social value creation. This timely book
will be a valuable resource for economics, law and management
scholars wishing to gain a thorough understanding of the topic.
Practitioners and policy-makers will also greatly benefit from
reading this volume, following up on the author's widely acclaimed
book published in 1999 The Economics and Management of Intellectual
Property: Towards Intellectual Capitalism.

This unique book - informed by ten years' research - focuses on
intellectual property and charts the global transition towards
intellectual capitalism with technology-based corporations as prime
movers. The book gives a comprehensive overview of the history and
fundamentals of intellectual property as well as a textbook
introduction to the field. The book sheds new light on the
economics and management of intellectual property in large
corporations in Europe, Japan and the US. Special emphasis is given
to strategies for the acquisition and commercialization of new
technologies, patent strategies and strategies for secrecy and
trademark, technology intelligence and corporate management of
intellectual property. It includes an in-depth study of leading
large corporations in Japan - including Canon, Hitachi, Toshiba and
Sony. In conclusion, it explores the possible evolution of
intellectual property management towards a distributed intellectual
capital management in the context of a wider transition to
intellectual capitalism, fueled by new technologies in general and
new infocom technologies in particular. The book will have
particular appeal to practitioners such as managers, economists,
engineers and lawyers as well as students and scholars of
industrial organization, economics of innovation and technical
change, and management of technology.

Recently, attempts have been made to understand the patterns of
corporate technological diversification and their implications in
economic and managerial dimensions. This book consolidates these
attempts and breaks new ground by examining the patterns of
technological diversification, and their relationship with
internationalisation, economic performance, and inter-company
alliances. Following an introduction and a survey of product and
technological diversification, the book begins with a statistical
analysis of technological diversification, and its links with
internationalisation and alliances. It continues with a range of
industry and company case studies, and an assessment of historical
evidence. The book provides a systematic analysis of data, case
studies, and other relevant material to understand this phenomenon.
Contributors bring to bear significant experience with large data
sets at the firm level on technological divesification and other
strategic dimensions on which it has an impact. This book will be
essential reading for students and researchers in the fields of
economics, International Business, Business Strategy and Technology
Management.
Recently, attempts have been made to understand the patterns of corporate technological diversification and their implications on economic and managerial dimensions. This book consolidates these attempts and breaks new ground, providing a systematic analysis of data and case-studies in its analysis of the phenomenon of technological diversification. Subjects discussed include product diversification, economic performance, internationalization, managerial and organisational issues, and strategic alliances. The international range of contributors and case-studies will appeal particularly to those interested in the EU research and policy.
Intellectual property has rapidly become one of the most important,
as well as most controversial, subjects in recent years amongst
productive thinkers of many kinds all over the world. Scientific
work and technological progress now depend largely on questions of
who owns what, as do the success and profits of countless authors,
artists, inventors, researchers and industrialists. Economic, legal
and ethical issues play a central role in the increasingly complex
balance between unilateral gains and universal benefits from the
"knowledge society." Economics, Law and Intellectual Property
explores the field in both depth and breadth through the latest
views of leading experts in Europe and the United States. It
provides a fundamental understanding of the problems and potential
solutions, not only in doing practical business with ideas and
innovations, but also on the level of institutions that influence
such business. Addressing a range of readers from individual
scholars to company managers and policy makers, it gives a unique
perspective on current developments.

Hardbound. The economics of technology has recently become
established as a fast growing subject field. It commands a rapidly
increasing interest, also among a new generation of scholars and
students, catering to the old need to bridge the gap between
economics and technology in practice. This volume attempts to give
an historic and current overview of economics of technology as a
field, and to contribute to its development by bringing together
original contributions from internationally highly recognized and
representative specialists in economics and technology studies,
thereby reflecting the state-of-the-art. The volume also gives
extensive summaries of developments in the field and outlines
directions for further research and teaching.
