While innovation is vigorous in Japan as judged by the large numbers of patents awarded to Japanese inventors, Japanese are concerned about hosting less breakthrough innovation that one would expect from Japan’s large investment in research and development. That’s reflected in the relatively modest number of Nobel Prizes awarded to Japanese scientists. Most U.S Nobel Prize winners are either first-generation immigrants or else their offspring. But immigrants and their offspring are as rare among Japanese scientists as they are among the Japanese population in general. That relationship between immigration and Nobel Prizes is not surprising when one reflects that the willingness to taking risks and to try something drastically new in a prerequisite both for emigrating and for innovating at the highest level. - page 312
