2G13 A Proposal of OutsourceAlliance Model for Innovation
Details
After more than 10 years of business slump in Japan and worldwide, many high-tech industries drastically cut R&D into 5-6% range in many cases, in order to hastily achieve the "black ink" business result. As a sort of emergency surgery, this contributed to the quick recovery of financial figures. However, this "major cut of R&D" resulted in causing increasing difficulty in realizing new innovations from inside R&D. Moreover, today, more and more technological innovation seeds are naturally born at many global arenas, especially at global ventures. So, these high-tech industries crucially need to get the most important and promising innovation seeds from alliances with global ventures, in order to enhance their competitiveness. On the other hand, after the outbreak of the bubble of high-tech network-oriented ventures during the last few years, high-tech global ventures have been striving hard to find strong companies that can manufacture the technologies developed by these venture companies. Although many such ventures have tried to access leading global corporate companies to achieve successful alliances, difference in culture and management structure blocks the smooth alliances between such ventures and corporate companies. Author started a new innovative scheme "GVIN = Global Ventures Industries Network" with the objective of providing "Ba" -opportunity and place- of direct interactions between the top of both global ventures and global corporate companies, in "credibility inclusive" way, so that new innovation seeds are directly exposed to and accepted by management and governance of corporate companies. In order to achieve alliances, direct interactions in "face-to-face meetings" of top persons between two parties, are crucial. Since GVIN has unique network through Japanese industrial consortium "FMT", these "face-to-face" meetings take place with high degree of confidence and credibility by the top persons. That is, "credibility inclusive" nature is integrated.
