D-1 Research on Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration From the Viewpoint of Launching Innovations (3) : R&D Information Systems for Sharing Problem Information Tools

Abstract

In my previous reports, I mentioned that the source of the power behind industry-academia-government collaboration when launching innovations is the effective matching of needs and seeds. The first step toward matching these up effectively is the sharing of information regarding problems in collaboration between sectors. In relation, the described request sheet (otoiawase sheet) is a tool that can facility this type of information-sharing. This report describes the two-year project for the construction of an R&D information system by a private company. Subsequently, the project gave birth to the basic request sheet concept for the sharing of information regarding problems involving collaboration, following the P2M concept of the IAP2M.
