Research paper : Formation of research strategy and synthetic research evaluation based on the strategy (N. Kobayashi et al.)−27−Synthesiology - English edition Vol.4 No.1 (2011) to the issues of research strategy formation, composition and execution of the research program, and the elemental and synthetic evaluations, described above, and they should be fine-tuned for the evaluation of the research units for the Third Term[22].5.2 Example of Nagasaki prefecture- Strategy formation and evaluation of the promotion of science and technology for local revitalization5.2.1 Strategic vision and logic modelThe public research institutes in the local government play a role in the important missions to promote the regional industry, and have unique issues as well as common issues shared with the R&D conducted by the government, universities, and companies. Here, an example of the research strategy formation and evaluation of the public R&D of the Nagasaki Prefectural Government, in which one of the authors (i.e. Nakamura) was involved, will be presented.The companies and product districts of Nagasaki suffer from various issues such as population decline and low income. As the recovery from the global economic crisis triggered by the Lehman Shock in 2008 is slow, it is necessary to utilize the unique local resources unseen elsewhere to win the fierce competition and to build a sustainable society. Therefore, it is mandatory that the research institutes quickly capture the social needs, and consider them in the selection of the R&D topics. To do so, it is necessary to build strategic visions, set the clear goals, and to write the scenario for achieving them. Here, the case of promotion of strategic R&D[23] applying the logic model[4] will be introduced. The main point to employ the logic model is to set the strategic R&D in order to produce the results that can be accepted by the customers. The strategic R&D scenario to create the outcome must be completed through the series of tasks mentioned above[24]. 5.2.2 Mission and strategy formation of the Science and Technology Promotion Bureau of Nagasaki Prefectural Government [25](1) The role of prefectural research institutesThe Science and Technology Promotion Bureau of Nagasaki Prefectural Government is an organization that governs the five research institutes: Institute for Environmental Research and Public Health, Industrial Technology Center, Ceramic Research Center, Institute of Fisheries, and the Agricultural and Forestry Technical Development Center[26]. The missions of the Promotion Bureau are 1) to nurture competitive and strong industry, and 2) to realize a safe and comfortable life through the application of science and technology, hence to build an energetic Nagasaki prefecture where people can live with dreams for the future. To do so, as the long-term outcome, the creation and aggregation of new industries in Nagasaki through the changes in the industrial structure are necessary. As elements, it is necessary to develop policies to create new businesses and new industries, strengthen the existing industries by utilizing the local resources, increase productivity of the prefectural industries, and expand employment. As the mid-term outcome, the current companies must take one step forward to advance into new fields, develop original products, establish the brand, and increase shares. As the short-term outcome, the companies must increase technological prowess, save energy and cost, and increase ability in marketing and design. The prefectural research institutes must collaborate with the universities and others to advance and increase precision of the core technologies, engage in R&D and technological supports for systemization, as well as provide technological development through interdisciplinary researches, marketing and design supports and others according to the needs of enterprises. The above items were organized through the logic model (Fig. 10) and this was shared with the related departments.
