1997, as the result of the reorganization of the Institute of Business Research, whose main pursuit had
been the theoretical and empirical analysis of business, society and management.
It is indispensable for a populous country with poor natural resources like Japan to generate innovation.
The importance of innovation has considerably increased since 1990s when growth by catching up with
Western competitors was no longer possible. We have, however, insufficient understanding on how
innovation is generated, which involves the long and social process for turning technological invention
into industrial development.
Innovation is a complex social phenomenon in which economic, political, organizational, historicaland legislative factors are correlated with each other. In order to clarify this process, there needed to
be places for interdisciplinary, systematic research where people from various fields of social science
could work together utilizing the knowledge of natural science. This is how the IIR was established as
an interdisciplinary research institute concentrating on the innovation process.

Missions
The first mission of the IIR is to study the innovation generation process systematically andempirically, understanding innovation as something to bring about economic value, and to contributeto the improvement of theoretical and practical knowledge. The role of the IIR also encompasses theclarification of social and economic impacts of innovation.
The second mission is to build a bridge between theory and practice on innovation. Since innovation
is “living phenomenon,” one needs to be deeply involved in the front line of practice and understandspecific problems happening there. In order to achieve the ultimate objective of facilitating innovation,
there should be certain mechanisms for applying theoretical knowledge to the front line of innovation.
In this sense, the IIR has to play an important role in linking theory and practice.
The third mission is to be an open research center which serves as a place for knowledge fusions
between researchers from different countries. As the importance of innovation is and will be growing
in East Asian countries, promoting interactions with researchers from these countries is very importantfor Japan in contributing to the development of this region. Thus, the IIR’s missions also include theaccumulation of qualitative and quantitative information on Japanese innovation.

Research Areas
In order to pursue its mission of studying the innovation process systematically and empirically, theactivities of IIR have covered the following areas of research since its establishment.
“Research on Technological Innovation” and “Research on Management Innovation” are the areas inwhich factors facilitating innovation such as technology, organizations and management methods arebeing studied. “Research on Entrepreneurs” analyzes the personal characteristics of entrepreneurs as
innovation initiators in order to go deep into the realities of innovation. “Research on Social Networks”
explores how networks of private firms, universities, individuals, and other entities and parties affectinnovation.
“Business History Research” and “Technology History Research” look at the above areas of empiricalresearch from a broader perspective, understand their historical contexts, and trace the development
processes of innovation over time. “Research on Institutions for Innovation” focuses on clarifying theinfluences of accounting and legal and institutional systems (such as those about intellectual property
rights) on innovation.
i“Research on Knowledge Management” synthesizes and attempts to understand all these empiricalareas of research from a broader, theoretical perspective. Finally, “International Comparative Research”
involves comparison, demonstration and analysis on an international scale.
We believe that our research at the IIR offers an important opportunity to foster creativity andinnovation in Japan in order to bring about transformation and development in business organizations
and the economy. We wish to create a world-class, international research institute where people from allover the world can conduct research together.

training researchers to work in the management of innovation at private organizations or in thedesign of science and technology policy within public institutions. Students will study
management and economic theories while developing skills for applying social science researchmethods. Based on this learning they will develop original academic research papers on topics
related to innovation management or policy. By integrating education and research, the programaims to develop professionals capable of strengthening systems and knowledge supporting
innovation in Japan and around the world.
This program is supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science andTechnology (MEXT) “Science for RE-designing Science, Technology and Innovation Policy”
Human Resource Development program (Cultivating Academic field hubs).

2. Students
IMPP students consist of doctoral students at Hitotsubashi University, doctoral students at otheruniversities, and students holding a Master’s degree (or equivalent) currently working in private
industry or the public sector. Classes are held primarily on Wednesday evenings and Saturdays.
To complete the program students must take Innovation Research Seminar I & II, threemandatory courses and two elective courses. In addition, two academic papers must be
