Abstract
From the late 1970’s to the 1980’s, Japanese products with high quality and high reliability took up a high share in U. S. market. At that time, U. S. faced the crisis of “twin deficits,” enormous trade deficit and fiscal deficit. During the above period, Dr. Juran presented a paper in 1978, NBC broadcasted “If Japan can, why can’t we?” by television in 1980, and Hewlett-Packard Co.（HP） introduced Japanese TQC into the company overall, etc. Thereafter, Mr. Young, a president of HP, was appointed to be a chairperson of President’s Commission on Industrial Competitiveness under the Regan administration. In 1985, he wrote “Young Report” and insisted that industrial international competitiveness mainly on the manufacturing should be strengthened as a pressing issue. “Made in America-Regaining the Productive Edge” by MIT professors, “A SCANS Report for America 2000” by US Department of Labor, “Innovate America（Palmisano Report）” in 2004 by Council on Competitiveness（COC）, and the reinforcement of STEM program under the Obama administration lead to the innovation of U. S. that is using Big Data, IoT, and AI of today. As shown in the above, innovation of industry and education cannot be achieved without any cooperation between industry, government, and academia. Now it’s time to learn how to cooperate altogether, which is the urgent issue for Japan.
