This study explores the research theme of “How to implement the management for facilitating the establishment of cross-sectoral collaborations for the purpose of promoting new competitive regional industries through business creation, and with what kind of regional system and competence of the management body to facilitate it?”. Here, the case is assumed wherein the public sector (e.g., local government) promotes industrial fields with high growth potential in the region through cross-sectoral collaboration among diverse entities for business creation. Therefore, the project is envisioned in which a regional structure (regional system) and support organization (management body) are established with the involvement of local industry and academia, and a management body implements management to facilitate cross-sectoral collaborations.
In exploring this research theme, the following research questions posed in Chapter 1 are considered.
R.Q.1: How to build and operate a regional system for facilitating the self-organization process of cross-sectoral collaborations to promote new competitive regional industries?
R.Q.2: How is the management to be implemented for facilitating the self-organization process toward cross-sectoral collaborations?
R.Q.3: How to build and rebuild a management body to display the organizational competence for facilitating the self-organization process toward cross-sectoral collaborations?
