Auszug

Das japanische Innovationssystem gilt gegenwärtig als nicht sonderlich geeignet, um in neuen Industrien Fuß zu fassen: In sämtlichen, als Zukunftsindustrien geltenden Schlüsselsektoren wie der Biotechnologie oder der Softwareindustrie ist Japan kaum bis gar nicht auf dem Weltmarkt präsent. Noch wenige Jahre zuvor, bis ungefähr Ende der 80er Jahre, galt umgekehrt das japanische Innovationssystem als nachahmenswert; unter dem Begriff des „Japanese model“ wurden zahlreiche Elemente im Ausland übernommen. Offenbar behindern gegenwärtig diejenigen Institutionen, die den Erfolg des japanischen Systems bedingt hatten, nun dessen Adaptionsfähigkeit und die Ausrichtung auf neue Schlüsselindustrien. In der japanischen Politik hat dies zu enormen Reformbemühungen und teilweise drastischen Änderungen der wirtschafts- und innovationspolitischen Rahmenbedingungen geführt. Dieser Beitrag skizziert im Folgenden die identifizierten Schwächen und Reformmaßnahmen, und widmet sich dann besonders der Frage, inwieweit das japanische Modell in der Tat Unternehmertum und Innovation behindert.
