| Research Abstract |
In light of IT's noteworthy self-propagating function, this investigation attempted to analyze a possible virtuous cycle expected to be realized by domesticating IT's function and fusing it with the strength of manufacturing technology. Noteworthy findings obtained include the following:
(i) The limit of Japan's competitiveness based on its explicit function in transforming crises into a springboard for new innovation has been revealed in an information society.
(ii) Indigenous competitiveness can be reactivated by integrating production and diffusion enabled by hybrid management of technology fusing the effect of IT learning and the indigenous strength of manufacturing technology.
(iii) However, global economic stagnation has demonstrated the significance of the integration also of consumption.
(iv) The trigger for such integration can be expected by means of supra-functionality beyond economic value encompassing social and cultural values.
