Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research has gotten the three primary following results. First, it has been specifically showed that the “semi-open innovation” in case of the consideration of subsidiaries and trade relations would be feasible. Actually, it is able to be a part of concepts of the whole system which includes buyer-supplier relationship such as an automotive industry as we have usually observed. In addition, it is also understood that the product concept creation and market opportunity is effective when R&D process is in the Fuzzy Front-End in the early stages of the semi-open innovation. Finally, we had a successful results of the formation of the theoretically basics in terms of the relationships amongst society, economics and technology.
