    To promote Science & Technology, it is indispensable to improve interests and understandings of S&T in the general public. In the analysis especially focused on Scientific Literacy of "Survey of Public Attitudes Toward and Understanding of Science and Technology in 2001", the following become clear. About the understanding of basic scientific concept, it is clarified that Japan has a distinctive tendency compared with the U.S. and European countries by the principal component analysis. "Civic Scientific Literacy (CSL)" composed of basic scientific constructs and the process of scientific inquiry is improved from 1991 survey and becomes on a level with the U.S. 1995 survey. The comparison "Attentive Public of S&T" with CSL shows that to improve CSL doesn't necessarily increase public attentiveness of S&T. From these results, we propose some quantitative measurement methods of Scientific Literacy.

    To make a standard, the protection of the patent rights and the convenience of the standard users must be balanced. In order to solve the problem of the standardization and the intellectual property, a patent policy is established in most International Standardization Organization. ISO IEC and ITU just began to harmonize of this patent policy. The member countries want to prevent the holdup problems so they demanded strongly for them to start this activity. However, is the patent policy effective in the prevention of the holdup problems? Is it possible to find all patents and prevent holdup problems when operating the patent policy strictly? In this paper, I reviewed about the effectiveness of the patent policy from such a viewpoint. As a result, I pointed out that the substantial value of the patent policy is a deterrent effect to someone who has possibility to occur the holdup.

    In today's ferociously competitive world, enterprises are being compelled to look again at their own self-contradictory strategies under which they carry out management of innovation in a way that simultaneously applies utilization and exploratory strategies. Put another way, enterprises need to create new business markets for the future while simultaneously carrying out exploration to promote and sustain existing markets effectively and efficiently. There are, however, few successful examples of leading companies effectively creating new business markets while at the same time fostering innovation. In this article, I lay out a strategic approach to innovation from the viewpoint of technology management, which I term "dualism," in which management of innovation is applied specifically to overcome the above-mentioned self-contradiction. I analyze several cases and suggest a new form of innovation management system for realizing "dualism." I also identify the key management points that will allow this management system to fulfill its potential.

    The history and the process in the development of pharmaceutical products with biotechnology in Genentech Inc. were investigated and a kind of innovation dynamics was found in it. Genentech developed a process technology for recombinant proteins around 1980. Genentech accomplished their successive product development with this recombinant technology. Moreover, the recombinant technology induced an unique process technology for antibody products around 1990. Genentech accomplished their next successive antibody product development with the antibody technology. A recombinant technology induced not only a dynamics to recombinant products but also to an antibody process technology. Such an unique and successive innovation was a reason why Genentech accomplished a series of recombinant products and recombinant antidoby products. These dynamics in Genentch seems different from that found in typewriter industry field reported by Utterback (1998).

    This paper is focused on a new type of university-industry research alliance in the US. These alliances, which we define as "open collaboration", operate under the principle that research results aren't patented, or that non-exclusive and royalty-free licenses are given if a patent is applied for. We conducted three case studies of open collaboration which are done with much funding from industry. The results of the case studies are explorations of the reasons why the open collaboration are formed and companies fund them. At the end of the paper, we present implications for university-industry relationships in Japan.
