    Dual Hybrid Management of Technology: Co-evolution with Growing Economies
    (Chitkara University Publications, 2011-04) Kayano Fukuda; Weilin Zhao; Chihiro Watanabe
    Given the increasing significance of the co-evolution between advanced and growing economies for problem-solving innovation that aims at solving global critical issues, this paper attempts an empirical analysis to identify the optimal co-evolutionary trajectory, which could benefit both advanced and growing economies. While Japan has succeeded to develop the hybrid management of technology fusing indigenous strength and learning ability, it has revealed some limitations during the global simultaneous economic stagnation. The analysis suggests that the dual hybrid management of technology coevolving also with growing economies is decisive to the problem-solving innovation of the nation. This benefits nations in growing economies as well. This paper provides new insights into the problem-solving innovation, and also inducing strategy of growing economies for global sustainability.

    Vibrant Eco-system Creation for Sustainability: A Lesson from Singapore’s Water Industry
    (Chitkara University Publications, 2011-04) Michele Y.C. Chew; Chihiro Watanabe; Yuji Tou
    Through a stepwise national strategy of importing technology, building indigenous capabilities through learning and assimilating imported technology to exporting the indigenous capabilities, Singapore has successfully caught up with the nations that are advanced in the technologies related to water treatment. From the macro-numerical phenomenon observed, this paper aims to provide both qualitative and quantitative evidences of this co-evolutionary dynamism between innovation and institutional systems. Realising the issue as a comprehensive technology chain and its substitution for traditional resources, sophisticated combination of government stimulation and industry participation leading to a Global Hydrohub has induced world leading-edge innovation involvement. Such a vibrant eco-system aiming at overcoming the constraints for sustainable growth can be applied not only to water management but also to energy and climate change issues. Policy makers in emerging economies can adapt the successful practices and note the pitfalls in establishing the vibrant eco-system that is essential for sustainable environmental solutions for their economies.
