Research

I believe that continuous innovation is the lifeline of an R&D-oriented company. In particular, I would like to gain new insights into the success factors of open innovation, which is a co-creative activity between firms, from a knowledge-based viewpoint. We are therefore examining the characteristics of the flow of innovation seeds, technologies, etc., using network analysis and other methods.

Message to those considering higher education

I believe that by being exposed to research in fields different from your own, you will learn other ideas and make use of them in various ways. I think that Kodama Lab offers an environment where you can conduct research in multiple fields and discuss with a diverse group of people.

Reasons for choosing Kodama Lab

I want to deepen my understanding of innovation creation through research from a technology management perspective. I chose Kodama Lab because they are engaged in interdisciplinary research on open innovation in the healthcare field, which fits my research interests.
