Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The differences between the R&D and non-R&D research and development processes that generate innovation in SMEs were examined. 1. In R&D, the ratio of R&D expenses to sales is 6% or more, and innovation that achieves the development of new markets with new technologies is realized through open innovation with affiliated companies. 2. In non-R&D, requests are thought to come from regular requests from business partners or from the process of exchanging information with business partners, and innovation is created by finding opportunities for innovation in everyday work. 3. In non-R&D innovation, many innovation patterns were identified that seek to deepen market penetration through the improvement and refinement of existing products and services.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では、過去の調査をベースとするパネル調査を実施し、横断的調査データに含まれる企業間バイアスの影響を最小化することを可能にし、より精緻化された検証結果を得ることことができた。その結果、日本の中小企業はコロナ禍でもオープンイノベーションを維持し、パンデミックにおいてもイノベーションシステムは堅牢であったことが検証された。中小企業のイノベーション創出を支えるnon-R&D型とR&D型のイノベーションプロセスでは、non-R&D型では自社が保有する技術力の強化、取引先からの情報活用への支援が必要であり、R&D型では自社に不足する専門人材を派遣もしくは育成する支援する新たな政策の方向性が示された。
