The international competitiveness as well as growth of Japanese MNCs have remarkably declined for the last few decades. Hence, it is now inevitable for Japanese MNCs to quest for the development of new business for new growth in an era of globalization. In order to develop new business, it is also essential for Japanese MNCs to address management innovation in global perspective.In this paper, we explain the present state of Japanese MNCs in terms of international competitiveness and discuss the necessity of development of new business or innovation for their new growth. In addition, we examine features of innovation in Japanese MNCs and propose a way of new innovation, namely "collaborative innovation". In conclusion, to implement such innovation, Japanese MNCs have to make much effort to not only effect the organizational transformation, but also develop or utilize global personnel like "boundary spanners" who will play a vital role for their new growth in an era of global knowledge economy.
