'It is recommended to managers, economists, engineers and lawyers
and for the students and academics researching in the area.'
*The Computer Law and Security Report*
'. . . Professor Granstrand has achieved a lot in this volume. . .
it contains a wealth of very useful material to feed graduate
students, particularly those involved in industrial economics MBA
courses and other postgraduate economics and management study, as
well as offering a detailed look at the realities of IP management
for professional managers and policymakers.'
*Christine Greenhalgh, The Economic Journal*
'As well as all the other fine things in this book, Professor
Granstrand has given us a working vocabulary for the debate on
these larger issues which is now getting under way, and I have no
doubt that it will have wide influence, which it richly
deserves.'
*W. Kingston, Journal of Economics/Zeitschrift fur
Nationalokonomie*
'Throughout the book, [Granstrand] instructively compares and
contrasts the management of intellectual property in the US, Japan
and Europe. The first section, on the philosophy, history and
economics of intellectual property, is very detailed and displays
an excellent grasp of the many strands of literature on this
subject. . . . Granstrand does an excellent job of organizing an
immense quantity of material on intellectual property.'
*M. Perelman, Choice*
'Professor Ove Granstrand furnishes us with useful suggestions for
effective intellectual property (IP) management using the detailed
analysis of data and facts on the Japanese industries which have
successfully developed since World War II. He repeatedly visited
Japan and conducted many interviews with corporate IP experts and
top management. This book is really informative for not only those
interested in IP but also R&D leaders and those in top business
management.'
*Akira Mifune, TheraTech Japan Inc., Japan*
'Ove Granstrand's book takes the reader into uncharted waters: the
waters of an Intellectual Capitalism that promises to restructure
the organization of economic life in the 21st century. In the
course of his examination he shines the spotlight on recent
developments in Japanese corporate capitalism that will prove to be
highly illuminating to western readers.'
*Nathan Rosenberg, Stanford University, US*
'This insightful book analyzes developments in Japan, Sweden, and
the United States to illuminate the increasing emphasis placed on
intellectual property in corporate strategies.'
*F.M. Scherer, Harvard University and Princeton University, US*
