THE ORGANIZATION OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMPARATIVE STUDY

1996年，也就是最后一年，我们对每个科目都有了明确的想法。首席研究员稻本博士为我们的研究对象做了全面的总结。这一年，我们经常在京都开会，去美国、荷兰和德国做研究。我们列出了我们的访问地点，人物和收集我们的研究材料的清单。特别是在今年，麻美博士和小田博士访问了美国，支持我们两年前在美国的研究周点。asami博士主要对康奈尔大学和伊利诺斯大学公共组织和农民团体管理信息支持系统的现状进行了调查。另一方面，小田博士主要调查了美国园艺业管理信息支持系统的现状。为了拍摄我们的主题，他拜访了加利福尼亚和佛罗里达的树木种植者。在这三年里，我们主要在决策、会计信息、信息系统、产业组织等方面进行理论研究。我们正在为我们的研究对象收集和分析日本国内外该领域的其他研究、信息和案例研究。我们可以在这三年里清除我们的研究对象。一般来说，在这个高度信息化的时代，农场管理者有必要有效地收集、分析和利用信息。除了与会计、技术和市场营销相关的定量信息外，管理者还需要有关业务的定性信息。他们既需要关于其业务的内部信息系统，也需要其区域内的外部信息系统。在我们的研究期间，我们在美国、荷兰和德国获得了很多这方面的知识。我们可以比较包括日本在内的四个国家，了解农业生长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.
