Given the increasing role of research and development (R&D) in competitive markets in the digital economy while confronting the dilemma between R&D expansion and a productivity decline, transformation of the R&D model has become a crucial subject for global digital leaders.
The authors of this paper postulate that neo open innovation harnessing the vigor of external innovation resources which then developed into a new concept of R&D that self-transforms during an R&D process initiated by Amazon by coupling with users.
The authors further develop these postulates by proposing the embedding of a growth characteristic identical to biological coupling.
An empirical analysis focusing on the forefront endeavors of global bioeconomy firms and also by Amazon was conducted.
A notable endeavor toward a circular economy initiated by its global leader UPM- Kymmene Corporation (UPM) demonstrated the significance of a coupling effect with downstream digital commerce leader Amazon. This effect can be attributed to harnessing the function of the growth characteristic identical to biological coupling through co-evolution of the dual coupling of bioeconomy and digitalization and of upstream and downstream operations.
This co-evolutionary coupling is expected to provide a novel concept of R&D that grows its function in a self-propagating way during the R&D process.
An insightful suggestion supporting to a novel concept of R&D in the digital economy is thus proposed.

Transformative direction of R&D : lessons from Amazon's endeavor
Watanabe, Chihiro; Tou, Yuji (Elsevier, 2019)Amazon jumped up to the world's top Research and Development (R&D) firm in 2017. Such a rapid and notable increase in R&D investment has raised the question of a new R&D definition in the digital economy, which Amazon ... -
The transformation of R&D into neo open innovation : a new concept in R&D endeavor triggered by Amazon
Tou, Yuji; Watanabe, Chihiro; Moriya, Kuniko; Naveed, Nasir; Vurpillat, Victor; Neittaanmäki, Pekka (Elsevier Ltd., 2019)Amazon was the world's top Research and Development (R&D) firm in 2017. Its R&D investment was double that of 2015, five times that of 2012, and ten times that of 2011. Such a rapid and notable increase in R&D investment ... -
