The purpose of our research was to study the behavior of the firms in Japan, specifically thr process of their decision making. Our major interest lies in the following areas among others : how the spending on Research and Development is related to the profit, why some firms extend the variety of goods and services they produce.We held seminars approximately once a month. Through our seminars, we worked on the following topics.1. We surveyed the major works in this field in the U.S.and in Japan. We discussed the implications of previous research ; we focused on empirical studies.2. We examined statistical data on firms and establishments that are available today in Japan.3. The recent Business Structure and Activity Survey gives most detailed data on various aspects of larger firms. Thus we examined the structure of this survey : how it is designed, which items are related to the economic concepts we need in order to study the behavior of the firms, and so on.4. We developed a database on firms, as well as some basic tools of analyzing these data. This database will give us a solid basis for further studies.

我们的研究目的是研究日本企业的行为，特别是他们的决策过程。我们的主要兴趣在于以下领域：研究和发展的支出与利润的关系，为什么一些公司扩大了他们生产的商品和服务的种类。我们大约每个月举行一次研讨会。通过我们的研讨会，我们就以下主题进行了工作。我们考察了美国和日本在这方面的主要工作。我们讨论了之前研究的意义；我们着重于实证研究。我们检查了目前日本公司和机构的统计数据。最近的商业结构和活动调查提供了大公司各个方面的最详细数据。因此，我们研究了这项调查的结构：它是如何设计的，哪些项目与我们研究企业行为所需的经济概念有关，等等。我们开发了一个企业数据库，以及一些分析这些数据的基本工具。这个数据库将为我们进一步的研究提供坚实的基础。
