STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF INDUSTRY-ACADEMIA-GOVERNMENT COLLABORATION IN OKINAWA : IN SEARCH OF INNOVATIVE TLO

本研究的目的是开发下一代的产业-学术-政府合作系统的模式在冲绳县和战略管理有效的技术许可组织（TLO），造福社会。我们通过与美国和中国大陆的其他现有TLO进行比较，研究了在冲绳开展TLO的可能性和机会。因此，确认了以下五个成功的关键因素。首先，在设立TLO之前，需要更审慎地讨论其盈利能力和人力资源管理。第二，确保专利律师和顾问等知识产权专家的就业，同时实施人力资源开发计划是当务之急。第三，由于当地人对TLO的功能不感兴趣的倾向很高，因此需要开展各种活动，以启发冲绳大学的教授和教职员工。第四，在国立大学制度化后，重新考虑传统知识产权组织和新建立的知识产权部门之间的协同进化至关重要。最后，包括品牌和传统文化、音乐、艺术等内容在内的知识产权综合管理战略对冲绳具有重要意义。

The purpose of this research is to develop a next generation model of Industry-Academia-Government collaboration system in Okinawa Prefecture and its strategic management for effective Technology Licensing Organization(TLO) to benefit society. We examined the possibility and opportunities of TLO in Okinawa in comparison with other existing TLOs in main land, United States, and China. As a result, five key factors for success were recognized as follows. First, more deliberate discussion on its profitability and human resources management would be required before establishing TLO. Second, to assure the employment of intellectual property specialists such as patent attorney and advisor, and concurrent human resource development programs are urgent matters. Third, a variety of activities to enlighten professors and faculty members at the universities in Okinawa should be needed because local people have a high tendency to be not interested in the function of TLO. Forth, reconsideration on the coevolution between traditional TLOs and newly established intellectual property sectors after institutionalization of national universities would be critical. Finally, comprehensive and integrated strategy of intellectual property management including brand and contents such as traditional culture, music, and arts would be valuable for Okinawa.
