As I have managed many IT businesses, I have always believed that new value reflecting the needs of users at each era, apart from the QCD that has traditionally been used, is necessary for future “mono-zukuri (manufacturing or creation),” including IT services and content development. "DAAE," standing for Design, Agility, Assembly and Economic Quality will be the new indicator for business theory and “mono-zukuri,” we believe. As an endowed chair, based on “DAAE” concept, I am passionate to systematize the ideal way of doing business and “mono-zukuri” in this modern era through surveys and research. Also, I aim that it will be used as the wisdom for managers to lead to the resolution of social issues and will support the creation of superior services and developing and invigorating various industries.
