This paper explores the roles of technological innovations in the growth of Japan’s
motor vehicle industry, mainly from technology spillover perspective from the early
2000s to today. An empirical analysis focusing on business performances, R&D
investments, and patent applications taking a noteworthy unique case in Japan was
attempted. Empirical analyses on the productivity of patent to technology stock, use
of exogenous technologies for their own technological innovation on its Automotive
Business Unit elucidated that innovation capabilities, incorporation of exogenous
technologies, and profit generation makes a virtuous cycle of continuous technological
innovation. Furthermore, we found that the range of technology spillovers
is not only expanding along with the development of information communication
technology, but also superposing itself intricately between organizational (industry–
firm–business unit) layers.
