Abstract
Japanese companies have long recognized the need to establish the clear link between individual activities and organizational management. Their concerns center on organizational management relative to Research and Development. This issue holds the key to future growth in any enterprise. In this research, we attempt to create a model, in which agents assuming the R & D researchers are advancing together toward the same objective. To accomplish this aim, we attempt to express R & D activities on two dimensional planes by computer. This approach is important, because it will enable us to measure quantitative values of different activities, advancements and reciprocal relationships in R & D. We then use this model to set up a computerized simulation, and examine the output for R & D activities. From the simulation, we should be able to analyze the following questions. First, what types of relationships ought to transpire between organization and individual in these R & D research activities? Second, what human interactions should develop with each other among those who are involved in the same research agendas? Third, to what extent should researchers depend on management or technology strategy in the enterprise? Finally, what is the role and function of leaders in the organization? This study will help us to find out a number of ways by which to stimulate both research and organizational activities in private companies. Likewise, the study may hopefully be able to shed some light on the complex theory of organizational management.
