项目摘要

I.Background and Objectives1.Japan ranks far below the level of the USA with respect to the development and utilization of information technology (IT) in the information society that emerged in the 1990s.2.This can be attributed to a vicious cycle between Japan's non-elastic institutions, insufficient utilization of the potential benefits of IT, and economic stagnation.3.The source of such a vicious cycle can be derived from the fundamental differences of the characterizing process of technology between manufacturing technology (MT) and IT during their diffusion processes. This investigation attempted to elucidate this mechanism.II.New Findings1.MT has been developed largely by the supply side and its functionality is established during the stage of its supply to the market. In contrast, IT is strongly driven by the demand side and its functionality is created through diffusion in a self-propagating way. This contrast can be clearly observed in the dramatic advancement of Japan's mobil … More e phone industry in the late 1990s.2.In fact, induced by strong market learning aiming at higher functionality and accomplishing a full utilization of the benefit of network externalities, Japan's mobile phone industry has demonstrated co-evolutional development with institutional systems through the creation of functionality and the changing of characteristics in a self-propagating way during its diffusion process.3.This can also be attributed to co-evolution between operators and vendors amidst severe competition in their new variety of functionalities, leading to construction of Japan's unique dual co-evolutional dynamism.4.Mobile phone driven innovation triggered reactivation of Japan's economy through its catalytic role in restructuring industry production, diffusion, consumption and innovation systems by disseminating core technologies and renovating the conventional production style.5.However, as a consequence of Japan's unique supply structure in a closed system, Japan's mobile phone industry failed to conform to the demand for functionality variety in the global market.6.In addition, innovation resulted in differentiating the domestication of the characterization process of technology between firms sticking to Not Invented Here syndrome and those that succeeded in fusing indigenous strength and learning effects by means of the hybrid management of technology. Consequently, the innovation trajectory of firms was bi-polarized, resulting in heterogeneous Japanese firms that were previously homogenous. Less

I.Background和Absocives 1. Japan在1990年出现的信息社会中信息技术的发展和利用方面的排名远低于美国的水平。2。这可以归因于日本的非弹性机构的浪漫循环，在日本的非弹性机构之间的浪漫循环，对IT，经济阶段的不足的利用不足。在制造技术（MT）和IT之间的差异过程之间。这项投资试图阐明这种机制。相比之下，它是由需求方面强烈驱动的，其功能是通过以自传播方式扩散而创建的。这种对比可以清楚地观察到日本动员的戏剧性进步……在1990年代末，更多的电话行业。归因于运营商和供应商之间在其新功能的激烈竞争中之间的共同进化，从而构建了日本独特的双重共同进化动力学。4。摩托车驱动的创新创新通过其在催化其催化作用中，在催化其在行业生产，消费，消费和创新系统方面的催化作用。日本在封闭系统中的独特供应结构，日本的手机行业未能符合全球市场功能多样性的需求。6。此外，创新导致了技术的特征化过程之间的驯化，而在此综合综合症中不发明的公司和那些成功地融合了与技术管理的综合效果的公司之间，这些公司坚持不懈。因此，公司的创新轨迹是双极的，导致以前是同质的异质日本公司。较少的
