碩士 === 淡江大學 === 亞洲研究所碩士在職專班 === 98 === In the last ten years, Japanese government has promoted innovative cluster plan aggressively. In order to enhance national competitiveness as a goal, Japanese government also revitalizes local economy through Industry-University collaboration and regional policies. Though METI and MEXT have executed industry cluster policy as boost economy program since 2000, the cluster supporting policy still needed to be strengthened. As the case study of LED Valley Tokushima Japan, this paper analyzed the competitive advantage through the Diamond Model of Michael Porter, and examined successful key factors of LED Valley through the method summarized by Maeda Noboru. From the case study, we confirmed that LED Valley Tokushima Japan already has a complete framework for Industry-University collaboration. And the activities of R&D research, human resource development and business incubation in this cluster are based on the model of Industry-University collaboration. The driving force of the innovation in the cluster is from the dynamism of Industry-University collaboration. We concluded that the integration of high-density incubation policies and innovative system can promote cluster development. Also we found that Industry-University collaboration mechanism is necessary element for the innovation of cluster. However, international cooperative research and IPO business are the subjects that needed to be enhanced in this cluster. Japanese successful experience in innovative cluster policy of Industry-University collaboration is worth as reference to the regional Industry-University collaboration in Taiwan. Eventually hopes to take advantage of this paper will provide further related research of regional base cluster or transnational comparative study as reference. It also looks forward to contribute to related research of continuous innovation in Taiwanese cluster.
