A Case of Ecosystem Construction Generated by Faculty Members in the University

Abstract

We present a case of a sustainable ecosystem integrated with education, research and social contribution　on a business-academia collaboration. This paper introduces detailed construction process of the ecosystem. Furthermore, based on this case, we examined necessary requirements to realize the ecosystem from a viewpoint of social network. As a result, with consideration of features of organizations as well as individual ability as the key factor, it was proved that mutual assistance, as a business opportunity, with mutual exchange of resources along with knowledge and information should be required to construct a sustainable social network.
