THE ORGANIZATION OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMPARATIVE STUDY

1996年，也就是最后一年，我们对每一门课程都有了清晰的想法。首席研究员稻本博士对我们的课题进行了总结。在这一年里，我们经常在京都会面，进行我们在美国、荷兰和德国的研究。并列出了我们的访问地点、人员和收集的研究材料。特别是在这一年，浅美博士和大田博士访问了美国，支持我们两年前在美国的研究周点。Asami博士主要探讨了康奈尔大学和伊利诺伊大学公共组织和农民团体管理信息支持系统的情况。另一位是Oda博士，他主要调查了美国园艺管理信息支持系统的情况，为我们的主题走访了加利福尼亚州和佛罗里达州的树木种植者，这三年来，我们从理论上对决策、会计信息、信息系统和产业组织进行了研究。我们正在为我们的课题收集和分析日本国内外这一领域的其他研究、信息和案例研究。我们可以在这三年内清除我们的研究对象。总的来说，在这个高度信息化的时代，农场管理者有必要高效地收集、分析和利用信息。除了与会计、技术和营销有关的定量信息外，经理们还需要与业务有关的定性信息。他们既需要企业的内部信息系统，也需要区域内的外部信息系统。在我们的研究期间，我们在美国、荷兰和德国获得了许多关于这一领域的知识。我们可以对包括日本在内的这四个国家进行比较，了解农业生产和发展的高水平信息系统的事实。

We got our ideas in sharp for each subjects in 1996, final year. And Dr.Inamoto, chief researcher, sum up for our subjects totally.In this year, we often were meeting in Kyoto for our research in USA,the Netherlands and Germany.

We are collecting and analyzing other researches information and case studies in this field in and out of Japan for our subjects. We could clear our subjects for this three years. Generally in this highly information-oriented age, it is necessary for farm managers to gather, analyze, and utilize information efficiently. Apart from quantitative information related to accounting, technique, and marketing, managers require qualitative information concerning the business. They require both an internal information system on their businesses and an external information system within their regions.We got many knowledge for this field in USA,the Netherlands and Germany for the term of our research. We could compare the these four countries including Japan, and understand the facts of the high level information system for agricurtulal grows and development.
