• Career Management of Human Resources that Facilitate Cross-Sectoral Inter- Organizational Collaboration: A Comparative Study of Cases in Japan and Germany on Efforts to Promote the Agricultural Food I
  Kumiko Nishio, Yuki Kawabata
  Kindai Management Review, 12, 30, 45, 2024, refereed, Joint Work, This study investigates the agricultural food industry and how to make it more competitive by upgrading its industrial structure. To solve this, we investigated the skills and the career management of human resources whose role is to facilitate cross-sectoral inter-organizational collaboration and create high value-added businesses. Following the presentation of a conceptual model created based on a review of previous studies, this study aims to construct a theory based on the results of a comparative analysis of three cases in Japan and Germany. The results of this analysis indicate that human resources for facilitating cross-sectoral inter-organizational collaboration have several skills that are classified as human, technical, and conceptual skills. Two cases in Japan put great emphasis on career development through on-the-job training (OJT) and work experience, whereas in Germany, suitable personnel are recruited from the external labor market and are further developed by learning technical and human skills through an off-the-job-training (Off-JT) system. An analysis of the effect of networks with related businesses on human resource development showed that Germany has an evaluation system that does not exist in either case in Japan, and that this system is linked to the continuous career management of human resources. The initial conceptual model was corrected based on the analysis of results.

  Yuki Kawabata
  Proceedings of International Conference on Business, Economics and Information Technology 2020 Sydney, 1, 37, 2020, refereed, Single Work, Promotion of new and competitive industries through cross-sectoral inter-organizational collaborations are tackled in many regions in the world.

Here the key is to consider how to manage self-organization process of diversified actors which is featured by complexity. Based on the approach of planned change, this study focuses on the initial conditions, field, and emerging interaction toward the collaborations as key elements for the management through intervention. Then, in the case study, experiences of medical technology industry of the three states in Germany (North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria, and Baden-Wuerttemberg) are examined by focusing on the facilitators who work on the management. Lastly, the result of the study is comparatively analyzed and the implications for the management are considered.
