This paper analyzes success factors from the view point of entrepreneur engineering accomplished by the Hi-Vision plasma display panel (PDP) R&D consortium (abbreviated as the PDP R&D Consortium. 1994-1999) that was established as a conglomerate like association targeting the creation of new technologies. We clarified through assessing outcomes that the optimal timing and the synergy effect between establishing hardware (PDP TVs) and software (Hi-vision programs) in cooperation with the acceleration of Hi-vision diffusion were key factors, which are typically effective in overcoming the death valley laid between a seeds innovation to a needs innovation (stasis between when innovation is introduced and when it delivers yields) . Non-linear concurrent and matrix management was also an effective innovative administrative style.
