This research project aimed at identifying relevant models and management principles for revitalizing Japanese industries that have been experiencing severe stagnation recently. The study began by examining those unique paradigms that drove the phenomenal development of Japanese economy after the devastation of the Second World War. We also examined how those paradigms lost their validity and vigor with the turn of 1990s. Major findings include recommendations for invigorating entrepreneurship via new types of incentive contract and renewing organizational governance in accordance with recent trends of social changes. Some focus was placed on the challenge and vigor that are driven by the incentives of equity capital. In particular, the framework of Real Option was identified as a most promising basis for driving innovation with the challenge to future risk in proper perspectives.Under the auspices of the Grant-in-Aid, a series of "Study Meeting Opened for Public : Financial Engineering and Management" was held monthly. The active participants in the study meetings came alive with the significance of Real Option and founded the Japan Association for Real Options and Strategy at the west Waseda campus of Waseda University on July 28, 2006.Research results are organized and published in two separate books, as follows.1.
