Abstract

Based upon an analysis of Japan\´s defeat in World War II, it is believed that Japan lacks effective management of technology (MOT), and that in order to strengthen itself in this area the country must "establish MOT policies," "research MOT theory and practical uses" and "fully educate concerned parties on MOT." It is especially important for Japan\´s industrial sectors to understand the basic policies of "open MOT." Towards this end, in this paper the authors introduce the latest activities in Japan, and discuss the importance of metaphysical knowledge as being near essence of MOT.
