In this paper, the direction of the Japanese industries after financial crisis is considered. However, it is not easy to draw the future image of Japanese industries. It is because it seems that many industries of Japan are mainly busy with control of production under this serious depression, and probably are not necessarily given to the stage of having concreteness and telling new direction.
Then, it is examined to the first how it was of Japanese business until now. I think it is necessary to follow the locus of development of industry and to clarify a reaching point for the view of a future image.
The second is asked about what kind of thing the locus of development of industrial research was. Industrial research is done uniting aim with the subject which the occasional industry holds. Therefore it could arrange the argument for viewing future, when industrial research pursues how industry is grasped.
This paper will focus on the steel industry of Japan, especially it after the 70s. Although Japanese steel industry has faced many difficulties, it conquers them and is still maintaining strong global competitiveness. Therefore, a certain suggestion may be obtained by surveying the steel industry.
