This research project aims at evaluating the competitiveness of Japan's technology-intensive industries and identifying their challenges for the future. Researchers from the Institute of Innovation Research at Hitotsubashi University and MIT Sloan School of Management have joined the project. The project started in FY2003, and every year we held domestic and international workshops, where we presented individual studies that focused on particular fields or issues, and synthesized these studies to draw an overall picture.In summary, we have found through individual studies and syntheses that among the two leading industries in Japan, the auto industry has maintained its competitiveness under its stable business system environment, while the electronics (or information and communication technology) industry has been losing its competitiveness. The reasons for the decline of the Japanese electronics industry's competitiveness include managerial inability to deal with growing complexity of technologies and markets, increasing concentration of value-added into small devices, and organizational dysfunction due to excessive diversity and globalization.We are now in the process of editing a book to summarize our findings and argument to general audience, which is expected to be published in FY2006.

本研究项目旨在评估日本技术密集型产业的竞争力，并确定其未来的挑战。来自一桥大学创新研究所和麻省理工学院斯隆管理学院的研究人员加入了该项目。本研究从2003年度开始，每年都举办国内外研讨会，针对特定领域或课题进行个别研究，并进行综合，形成整体。通过个别研究和综合，我们发现，在日本的两大主导产业中，汽车产业在稳定的企业制度环境下保持了竞争力，而电子（或信息和通信技术）行业正在失去竞争力。日本电子产业竞争力下降的原因在于，管理者无法应对技术和市场的日益复杂化，附加值越来越集中在小型设备上，以及过度多样化和全球化导致的组织功能失调。我们正在编辑一本书，将我们的调查结果和论点总结给普通读者，预计将于2006财年发布。
