In this paper, we suggest a new program framework for supporting emergence of "solution research project", which aims to realize social system transformation based on technologies. To solve complicated social problems, we define a process model called "Vision Oriented Collaboration (VOC)" which includes: (1) developing social vision and solution prototype (2) sourcing for partner corporations, citizens and governmental organizations (3) packaging of technology/marketing/policy elements. Finally, we introduce our practice "Smart Incubation Program (SIP)" which is an academic-industry collaboration platform designed based on VOC and note further development of the methodology and our program.

Various stakeholders are involved in ODA and total harmonization among them is indispensable to secure the successful completion and attain the intended goal of the project. The stakeholder management is particularly significant in the process of environmental and social consideration in ODA projects. This paper studies on the optimization of the stakeholder management considering a series of factors related to the stakeholder such as the range of inclusion, the variation/diversification of needs, and the method of consensus building based on the concept of 3S models (scheme, system, service) of P2M.

In IAP2M, the perspective about the concept of the management risk with the hierarchy is definitely defined in P2M Version 2.0. Its basic interpretation is to understand the risk not in a way of an obstacle for evasion and exclusion when an organization promotes its project activity, but in a way of on opportunity to learn toward the outside environment. In the main subject, the figure, that the recognition of the risk raises an expanse of an organization and a company toward the outside and gradually changes into the activity of contribution and responsibility to the society, must be seen. In the consideration, the survivable system and system methodology was investigated from the viewpoint of a scientific principle, and the PM activity which is played in the business world was investigated form of the decision-making human being thought. To treat the model which is lead from the investigation above as a compound organization type model, I would like to propose the possibility of the development for maintenance and expansion of the social infrastructure.

America and Europeans had led the economic recovery to Asian currency crisis in 1997. After 10 years, Asian emerging nations like China and Korea have played the roles of the repowering. Today, the government faces in policy initiative for creating giant programs to ignite numerous projects corporate may join in business. Japan may benefit the chance of contribution to smart city, hub airport, high-speed railways by public private partnership. However public developments had caused conflicts by citizen resistance in road and hydraulic dam construction in Japan. The framework of policy 〜Program〜Project linkage is the implication embracing imperative issues of breakthrough. This paper deals with the public program of big scale for preventing risks in overseas policy. For the purpose, consultative strategic programming is proposed in P2M theory framework and logical building by case research. The 3.11 Disasters in East Japan had left critical lessons for review to the social infrastructure policy and this framework. Unfortunately, time could not permit to touch the comments and feedback here in the paper.

In a corporate innovation program, the alignment of required technologies and available human resources is the key part of the corporate reengineering. Every corporate innovation has to revolutionize its business model. When the business model changes, the quality and the amount of the technology and the human resources needed in enterprise change. In this paper, the authors disclose the successful implication of the widely used "Pinch Technology" to the technology and human resource management based on the study of rationale for the generic task assignment problem. Additionally, the authors propose a strategic planning procedure for the said management.

Japanese companies have high-class technology, however they have not been successful in business fields. It is considered that the main reason for the fact is based on the lack of attentions to business model as well as Intellectual Property Management. Competitive Intellectual Property Management functions only when the "Three-Pillar Management Strategy" consisting of intellectual property strategy, business strategy, and R & D strategy works properly. However, in fact, it does not work as it was expected. The author considers that it drives from the lack of communications among the three parties in charge of the individual strategy. Thus, in order to promote the "Three-Pillar Management Strategy", we tried to make the strategy effective by applying P2M theory thereto.

A lot of development planning support has been carried out in many countries and fields under Official Development Assistance (ODA). Development plans are indispensable to advance development efficiently and effectively. This kind of cooperation has delivered development plans to developing countries and played essential roles to build up foundations for development in those countries with its human resource development in the process. However the mission for development plan would not be completed without implementing properly and leading development impact (outcome). Developing countries often face issues of finance and operation due to various constraints and lack of capacities. This paper studies on the essential aspects needed for management of whole process starting with planning up to the goal and the application of PPP scheme in developing countries based on the concept of 3S-model.

Nowadays, the global society encounters with natural resources exhaustion, global warming, environmental disruption and so on. Moreover, the country encounters with the huge natural calamities in addition to the relative decline of economic power, and a matter of urgent, necessity to reconstruct of the damaged local societies. On the other hand, the world of project management has been rarely discussed directly on the general framework for the social system project, comparing with the projects building plant or information system. Then, newly adding social project domain, covering enterprise, administration and inhabitants, to the domains of enterprise, administration and so on, the scheme model of social system is discussed based on a systems approach.

The conventional style of platform construction has been mainly intended to economic value creation. However, social value is deemed to be a primary requirement in its designing today. In our continuous researches, the logic model has been applied to unite community network between local persons and the persons out of the are at the scheme stage of P2M theory. As the next stage, in order to realize "the community-based sustainable society" with the corporation of city people and local people we set the concrete aims to main members of stakeholders with a balanced scorecard method and made the program common mission clear. This paper reports an examination result of setting of main requirements and goals in social platform construction.

From the viewpoint of reducing CO2 emissions, companies have been developing products aiming at more efficient energy use. They have also started tackling seriously with CO2 reduction due to the regulation of CO2 reduction. This paper proposes a scheme model for development of a personal air conditioning of partitioned building aiming to reduce energy consumption in office buildings. Concretely it proposes a collaborative platform of technological integration applying P2M theory as a common ground to tackle collaboratively with development of the personal air conditioning of partitioned building among different types of industries and studies on the validity of P2M theory by showing a mechanism to form a new framework which is created from interaction among stakeholders.

In this paper we focus on dynamic resource allocation for parallel tasks of multi projects. These types of resource allocation problems exist in many areas such as interior finishing of apartment houses or medical treatments for multi patients depending on a clinical path. The dynamic resource allocation has not been well formulated. We give a mathematical formulation and a simple and effective resource allocation algorithm for the dynamic resource allocation problem. The dynamic allocation algorithm helps to improve total program design of parallel task allocation problem of multi projects.
