The organizing committee of International Conference on Innovation and Management is pleased to welcome you to the 4th meeting held at ANA Hotel Ube on December 5th and 6th 2007. On behalf of the organizers, I express my delight in sharing the time with the delegates from all around the world and hope you will have good stay here.
The underlying objective of ICIM is to provide continuously a field bridging between and then fusing scientific knowledge and managerial knowledge. Profession today seems to be highly specialized and diversified as the research goes on. Sometimes researcher doesn’t know or even can’t understand the recent progress in the neighboring field for devoting most of her time to make advance in her own profession. Contrary, running business or commercializing innovation is comprehensive and synthetic work so that corporate directors and managers should have to integrate wide variety of knowledge. We believe it is of immense significance to have an opportunity to share the knowledge from all the professional disciplines for understanding business as a whole.
At last but not the least, I would like to extend my sincere acknowledgement to the contributors. Their papers comprise the underpinning of the conference. It will be more than someone can dream of all the participants getting some insights for their future pursuits from the cutting edge papers included in the proceedings and the discussions at the conference.
