Comparative study of product innovation system concerning with environmental problem

本研究的目的是建立一个考虑环境问题的创新过程基本模型，并与芬兰模式进行比较。为了接近这一研究目标，首先建立了基于融合概念的基本产品创新过程模型。其次，对制造企业的环境问题进行了梳理，并考察了环境问题与产品开发过程的关系。第三，我们将本文提出的模型与日本和芬兰学者合作研究的芬兰模型进行了比较。最后将这一基本模型应用于国际产品开发体系，以揭示各国产品开发过程的特点。研究结果表明：(1)通过与芬兰研究者的合作研究，建立了产品创新的基本模型。(2)我们考察了日本的管理技术，以及相对于国外的竞争力。(3)我们披露了日本和芬兰公司需要解决的环境问题，从而考察了环境问题对产品设计和生产过程的影响。(4)探讨了制造业国家环境问题的管理技术。(5)通过对日本和芬兰企业的调查，比较了两国企业的经营状况和产品策略，探讨了两国企业的经营策略和经营原因。

The purpose of the study is to establish a basic model of innovation process concerning with environmental problem, and to compare the model with Finnish model.In order to approaching to this goal of study, firstly we establish a basic product innovation process model based on the fusion concept. Secondly we clarify the environmental problem in manufacturing company, and examine the relationship between the noticed environmental problem with product development process. Thirdly we compare the proposed model with the Finnish model by the collaborate research of Japanese and Finnish researchers. Finally this basic model is applied to the international product development system in order to disclose the characteristics of process in every country.As a result of this research we obtained the followings :(1) We establish a basic model of product innovation by collaborate research with Finnish researchers.(2) We investigate Japanese management technology, and the power of competitiveness against foreign countries.(3) We disclose the environmental problem to be solved by Japanese and Finnish companies, thus examine the effect of it to the product design and production process.(4) We discuss the management technologies to the environmental problem in manufacturing countries.(5) By several investigation to Japanese and Finnish companies we compare the situation and product strategy, then we discuss the cause and managerial policy of both countries.
