Preface
Innovation is essential to maintain market competitiveness and sustainable growth, as well as to drive socioeconomic development. Accordingly, at all times, larger companies have been committed to research and development (R&D) investment, securing outstanding R&D personnel, and building an effective R&D management system. However, there is no universally desirable R&D strategy that a firm should pursue. For example, the nature of the qualities required for R&D talent appropriate to drive innovation will change over time and will vary across industries. The importance of cooperative relationships with other companies in R&D also changes, and the purpose of cooperation also varies. A critical reason is that technology continues to evolve and the technological structure required by firms and industries changes. As the set of technologies at the core of the technological system changes, not only the size of the R&D project required and the composition of researchers will change, but so too the combination of proprietary development and technical cooperation with other institutions. In other words, the paradigm of innovation in a systemic sense continues to evol
