The lab uses ecosystems as a metaphor to analyze and redesign how industries work.
AboutAbout the lab
Changing real-world society through ecosystem analysis, redesign, and implementation.
The Tsujimoto Lab focuses on ecosystem strategy.
Ecosystem strategy uses the view of natural ecosystems as a metaphor to understand social and economic systems from a broad, historical perspective.
Built on ecosystem theory and platform theory, the lab's research uses methods such as integrative reviews, social statistical analysis, and qualitative data analysis.
The lab does not stop at analysis. It aims to change real-world society by redesigning and implementing ecosystems.

*Illustrative imageSynergies on Platforms
In some markets, many products gather on a single foundation, such as smart home devices or add-on content for games. The lab analyzes how synergies among products and the knowledge of their creators affect sales and user satisfaction.
*Illustrative imageCoexistence of Large Companies and Startups
Nurturing a new industry requires large companies and startups to make use of each other. The lab studies how such partnerships are formed in emerging countries such as Vietnam and the characteristics of entrepreneurs, and also works on building systems that foster university-based startups.
*Illustrative imageThe Rise and Fall of Semiconductor and Solar Cell Companies
Some Japanese semiconductor and solar cell companies lost their standing after reaching the top. Using the image sensor business and a leading solar cell manufacturer as examples, the lab analyzes how companies sustain their strength and how they compete to capture profit.
