Evaluation of Japanese R＆D and Proposal of Technology Policy based on Technology Matrix

本研究的目的是：(1)基于科技数据库(INSPEC、COMPENDEX、JOIS作为研究论文数据库，PATOLIS、WPI作为PENT数据库)排列的技术关系矩阵，概括世界经济领域科技进步(特别是信息和电信技术进步)的基本趋势；(2)概括日本科技进步与美国相比的特点；(3)澄清日本研发设施的不足。前两者在一定程度上实现了这两点。特别是，人们认识到技术关系矩阵是非常有效的。INSPEC和COMPENDEX整理的技术关系矩阵表明，日本的技术进步是以电信网络(电话网络)为导向的硬件支持，而美国的技术进步是以计算机网络(互联网)为导向的软件支持。人们还认识到，在生物和生命科学领域进行类似的研究是不可避免的，这将是21世纪的必然。此外，还粗略地指出，日本研究和开发的特点与宏观系统(产业组织、公私联系等)和微观系统(企业组织、企业组织、就业实践等)通过对前两者的研究。

This research project was aimed at followings ;(1) to cralify the basic trends of science and technology progress (especially, that of informaton and telecommunication technology progress) in the sphere of world economy based on technology relation matrix arranged from science and technology databses (INSPEC, COMPENDEX, JOIS as research paper databases, and PATOLIS, WPI as petent databases),(2) to cralify the characteristics of Japanese science and technology progress in comparison with that of US,(3) to cralify the deficiencies of research and development facilities in Japan.The former two was achieved to a certain extents. Especially, it was recognized that technology relation matrix was much efficient. Technology relation matrix arranged from INSPEC and COMPENDEX showed that technology progress in Japan was characterized by telecommunication network (telephone network)-oriented supported by hardware, while that in US was computer network (internet)-oriented supported by software.It was also recognized that the similiar study in the sphere of biology and life science such as gene engineering, which will undeniably become much important in the 21 century, was inevitable as the future study.Furthermore, it was cralified that the chracteristics of Japanese research and development avobe mentioned was related deeply with macro systems (industry organization, public and private linkage and so on) and micro systems (firm organization, employment practices and so on) through studying the former two.
