Abstract

This study examines “the effects on one's motivation to learn by communicating with others”. It incorporates
a variety of adults learners, including the elderly who go to language schools in their neighborhoods.
Communicating with others is one of the ideas to increase their motivation to learn.
Through conducting survey interviews with adult learners and organizing the constructive concept extracted
from the SCAT analysis, this study develops the hypothesis about “the effect on one's motivation to learn bycommunicating with others” by considering types of learners and their periods to learn.

HONDOConsidering Special Commodities- Using a Renewable EnergyFocused Input-Output Table -The objective of this study is to estimate the life cycle GHG emission and energy consumption of geothermal
power generation by using an input-output (IO) table. The estimation uses an extended IO table developed bydisaggregating sectors related to geothermal power generation technology, and a matrix created for adjusting
the differences between the actual prices of special commodities required for the technology and theimaginary price of averaged commodities produced in the IO sector. The life cycle GHG emission and energy
consumption for 50 MW flash geothermal power generation are estimated to be 21 g-CO2eq./kWh and 0.23
MJ/kWh, respectively.
This study aims at revealing various socio-economic benefits created by implementing small hydropower

survey with small hydropower operators reveals that their expectations for electricity sales revenue andemployment creation effects are different depending on whether the operators wereaccredited by feed-in-tariff scheme.Second, the employment creation potential for small hydropower
generation is estimated to be 1.8 person-year per GWh using data obtained from the operators and theJapanese 2005 input-output table.

In this research, Japanese logistics industry SAGAWA Holdings and YAMATO Holdings Company waspioneering the case of the Chinese market expansion in the global strategy, the Japanese logistics companies
are expanding their global management features in the local (Shanghai), Especially, in between of the headoffice in Japan and Shanghai branch office, focusing on the "TRANSFER INFORMATION" of the two-way
about how they absorbed the local information.
Companies possessing the most important knowledge of product development, affects a series of decisions
among the product development, which has been thought could contribute to product development
performance under the horizontal specialization. Compared to the automobile industry, in modern ICTindustry, it is characterized in that the most important knowledge of the product development is distributed in
the outside of the company. This study focused on that among the situation that knowledge is distributed, how
can companies to acquire the most important knowledge to improve the performance of product development.
With the trend of open innovation, loads of companies tend to provide their IPR to outside in order to get

This research aim atclarifying the reason of those phenomenon listed above and figure out why some companies succeed in thisoutbound strategy while some didn’t by comparing several companies in their IPR management, and workout the necessary condition of utilizing it.

A study on the diffusionof the 3-D information
technology in themanufacturing industry ofKitakyushu region

The 3D information technology group mainly on the new generation 3D-CAD that came up at the end of the1980s improves the performance of the product, and the spread advanced to the whole country, but thedifference between the rate of diffusion by the business category and the area is still great. Although
Kitakyushu region as a famous industrial area from old times, it picks up the low rate of utilization of the 3D
information technology. Kitakyushu region is taken up by this research, and aims to discover new perspectives
about the factor and the mechanism which influence the diffusion process of the new technology.
