A Study for Validity of Industry-University Research and Development Collaboration with Humanities and Social Science Research Groups, and Success Factor for Practical Use

Abstract

Since 2004 we had researched education-support system as industry-university research and development collaboration for about five years. Moreover we arranged a industry-university collaboration environment, and then incorporated a university-originated venture company. This paper will describe the actual application of a mobile system developed by a venture company incorporated by a university with industrial collaboration. In addition we analyze similar systems developed by university, industry, and industry-university collaboration, and discuss validity of industry-university research and development collaboration, and success factor for practical use. We explain the essence of industry-university collaboration program by the concept of "Ba".
