Research Abstract |
We have done such research activities in fiscal year 1999 : (1) In France and Germany, we conducted questionnaire surveys of researchers. Our targets were 300 questionnaires to be collected in each country. But actually we collected less than 100 in France and 120 in Germany. (2) We have so far collected these numbers of questionnaires in the countries as follows ; 2200 in Japan, 760 in UK, 410 in India, 1200 in Korea, 510 in Taiwan. Based on these data, including French and German, we were engaged in international comparative analyses, comparisons of Researchers and Development engineers, and comparative analyses of industrial research labs and public sectors' research labs, since our survey data included public as well as industrial research labs in Indian and Taiwanese samples. (3) Through such multi-angled comparative analyses, we can now understand Japanese systems of R&D more clearly and can point out environmental conditions in which R&D scientists and engineers can achieve creative research performances more effectively. We are now also able to deliniate the Japanese National Systems of Innovation and to recognize opportunities and obstacles in the Systems to enhance creative research achievements. Because the surveys of R&D researchers in Asian countries are very scarce, our findings about the Asian R&D traits-similarlities and differences-can provide new insights into the National Systems of Innovation at large. (4) As our research results this year 13 articles appear in the special issue of Keio Studies on Organizational Behavior and Human Performance No.30. In our 3 years' study on R&D researchers and engineers, we have published over 30 papers in professional journals and in academic meetings and we expect more paper publications and presentations in domestic and international scenes.
