Abstract

In order to aim for a deeper understanding of the complex and multifaceted issues in Japan’s information service industry, we try to develop an integrated approach of data obtained from issue-oriented large-scale fact-finding surveys, statistical analyses based on dynamic modeling, and simulations. The integrated approach should be possible to develop evidence-based visualization of industry growth scenarios by integrating intellectual instruments that have hitherto evolved separately, such as social surveys, management theory, statistical analyses, and simulation models. Also, it can be developed to design plans for the management of technology as a national strategy, through visualization of a variety of scenarios, ranging from optimistic to pessimistic. And, it has potential to be expanded and generalized to illuminate any industrial sector in any country.
