Research reportSocial Experiment on Developing ICT Systems for Collaboration among High Schools,Universities, and Regions.In-house publicationCo-authoredTAKASE,Takenori;AKAEDA,Naoki;ISHIDA,Haruhiko;OKA, Eriko;HAYASHI, Naoko;YOSANO, ArinoriBulletin of the Faculty of Sociology Kansai UniversityVolume 54, Number 2.2023/3/31～This paper outlines our design of an ICT System for Collaboration among High Schools, Universities, and Regions, which started in 2013. We describe our social experiment conducted in an anonymous nonurban region.We have had face-to-face meetings, constructed multi-point communication system and distance education and recognized some technical limits of ICT. But after COVID-19， social conditions changed and ICT progressed marvelously. Now we expect new possibilities, and list ９ requirements for development. Our results up to date are improvement of high school students’ communication skills, identity establishment, university students’ problem finding, and collaboration among high schools, universities, and regions.

PapersCompetition and Locality in Japanese Software Industry: on Applicability of Density-dependence HypothesisUnrefereedAcademic JournalSingle-AuthorTakenori TAKASE;population ecology;density-dependence model;software industry;life-table analysis;locality;Organizational ScienceVolume 43 No. 4: 27--372010/6/20～In most cases, an organizational population is defined by their type of industry or outputs. However, competitions among organizations are affected by their locations, because organizations take resources nearby easily and have more opportunities to interact with closer counterparts. This paper examines the effects of local density on a competition in an organizational population. The result of analysis on 14,522 Japanese software companies with life-tables demonstrated the followings: (1) In Tokyo and Osaka prefectures, both of which are densest areas, software companies have higher death rate than those in other areas. (2) No significant difference exists between the death rate in sparse areas (i.e., prefectures with less than 100 software companies) and in dense areas (i.e., prefectures with more than or equal to 100 software companies). (3) Although Tokyo seems to be the most competitive area, the death rate of companies is lower in the central wards than in the rest of the city. These results suggest that the effect of competition on death rate depends on the size or scope of the organizational population. If the size or scope of a population is not moderate, that is to say, either smaller of larger than an appropriate size, the effect of a competition on organizational death rate will not be obvious.

We did Life-table analyses of 313 factory organizations in Kanagawa prefecture.New organizations more often 'die'or change its main products than older ones. Organizations with much original capital are more viable than originally poor ones.The industry that an organization originally belonged has some effects on its probability of going out of the industry.Originally big organizations increase their capital more often than smaller organizations.Kansai University Grant-in-Aid for the Faculty Joint Research Program 198704-098803

PapersOrganizational Change and Environmental Change : Toward an Application of Population Ecological Perspective to a Model of Social ChangeAcademic JournalSingle-AuthorTAKASE Takenori;Japanese Sociological Reviewvol37 No1 pp.64-781986/6/30～In order to realize the relationship between organizational change and social change,organizational analysis model must have two specific properties.Firstly,the model must be able to explain the fact that there exist many types of organizations.Secondly,it must be able to deal with the interaction between oganizational change and environmental change.The population ecology model,which has been developed by M.T.Hannan,H.E.Aldrich,et al.,fulills the first requisite,but not the second.We build a model,that can fulfill both requisites simultaneously.It is possible because we can regard out-put innovations of organizations as a component of an environmental change.According to our model if there is a large possibility of out-put innovations and if information flow in the society is rapid and enormous,'specialist'organization will prevail in stable environment,and 'generalist' organization will prevail in unstable environment.Furthermore,it is concluded that the growth of bureaucratic organizations under unstable environments encourages an environmental change hostile to themselves.It contradicts M.Weber's and M.Crozier's theory of bureaucratic growth.
