Extension of Biological Manufacturing Systems considering Network Externalities

本研究项目针对复杂网络社会下的产品/服务开发方法，将网络外部性的概念引入项目负责人开发的生物制造系统。通过从生产车间的过程层面到社会系统的产品扩散层面的分析，阐明了存在网络外部性的生产环境的基本性质。最后，本计画提出探讨产品发展策略的新方法论，建构包含技术发展决策的基本模式。

This research project addresses a methodology of products/services development under complex-networked societies, introducing the idea of network externalities into biological manufacturing systems that have been developed by the project leader. By analysis from a process level in manufacturing floor to a product diffusion level in social systems, the basic properties are clarified in production environment where network externalities are present. Finally, this project proposes the new methodology to discuss product development strategy, constructing a fundamental model that includes technology development decisions.
