| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to know the whole image of design activity of Japanese firms. This research cleared it by questionnaire survey. We investigated how firms balance design function and technology in R&D process. Result shows 90% of firms that they answered there is trade-off relationship between technologies and design, give a priority to technology over design. But other 10% firms publish much innovative products. This result shows that design may have a role of catalyst that promotes innovation.
