However, it is not easy for university secretariat to establish research administration organization. This is because most of university secretariat are based on bureaucratic system. The system frequently standardizes a work process; therefore, it disturbs innovation. Moreover, even if university research administration organization which is not based on bureaucratic system is newly established, it often has difficulty in cooperating with the other organizations. This paper is a theoretical research with the object of organizational theory to clarify in what kind of organizational style research administration perform effectively. This study revealed that adhocracy is an effective style for research administration.
