>Top 2. International competitiveness by ICT

  • Positive correlation of economic growth and ICT:
    • 1987 Robert Solow's Paradox: "You can see the computer age everywhere, but in the productivity statistics."; defined as discrepancy of IT investment and productivity.;
    • But this paradox became a thing of the past.
    • ICT is one of factors of TFP (Total Factor Productivity), which effect in total output not caused by traditional input of labor and capital; usually value adding factors such as technological development including ICT investment, process know-how, and other intangible fixed assets.
    • But the level of Japanese ICT investment has been lower than US & European countries particularly since 2000; probably due to uncertainty of increasing corporate profitability by ICT investment.
  • Intangible Fixed Assets: (by Corrado, 2005)
    1. Computerised information: Software (package SW and internally developed SW)
    2. Innovative property: R&D, technical know-how, design, copyright and patents, etc.
    3. Economic competencies: Corporate unique human capital, expenses for branding & CM
  • ICT Utilization by Industries:
  • IT util by industry
    • Top five industries of intensive users of ICT: 1) Information & Telecom, 2) Manufacturer, 3) Finance & Insurance, 4) Services, 5) Commerce.
    • Utilization of SNS is relatively lower; less than 20% in top three industries.
    • Sensor technology (RFID, IC tag, etc.) and M2M are mostly used in manufacture industry.
    • Mobile technology (GPS, etc) is mostly used in transportation industry.
  • ICT utilization as well as organizational reform and HRD matter:
    • KPI for corporate management improvement:
General Corporate Managemt 1) Accurate and rapid decision-making by top management
2) Reform of organizational structure
3) Corporate Plan and its execution
Customer Relation 4) Development of new market
5) Improvement of customer satisfaction of existing market
6) Creation of new business model reflecting customer requirements
Staff Relation 7) Improvement of work efficiency per head
8) Improvement of motivation & satisfaction of employees
9) Utilization of internal information & activation of exchange
Business Profitability 10) Increase of sales in the new market
11) Increase of sale in the existing market
12) Improvement of ROI
Efficiency 13) Compression of inventory
14) Reduction of staff
15) Improvement of business process
Value Add 16) Ability of products marketing
17) Collaboration with partners
18) Collaboration with other industries
    • Survey results: (n=4016) 17% of companies replied that their increase of sales due to ICT investment, typically in manufacturing industry.
    • ICT investment caused to increase about 0.5% raise of GDP.
  • Multiplier Effect:
    • Prof. Iizuka and Prof. Shinozaki have calculated how real GDP will increase by the investment of ¥1T annually from 2014 through 2016; in which GDP will increase considering the multiplier effect; 1) by general investment, and 2) by ICT investment:
    •   2014 2015 2016
      by ICT investment 1.119 1.819 2.311
      by General investment 0.950 1.181 1.198
    • By ICT investment, real GDP of ¥1T in 2013 will increase ¥1.12T in 2014, ¥1.81T in 2015, and ¥2.31T in 2016 respectively.
    • Thus ICT investment will be a driving force of GDP, or becoming a pillar of economic growth.
    • Japanese government proclaimed that Japan would be the most advanced ICT-centric country in the world as follows:
      1. need to break economic deadlock situation
      2. establish driving forces of economic growth engine
      3. pursue to realize sustainable economic growth
      4. take the most of the opportunity of Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020.
      5. promote National ICT promotion by the integrated efforts of all ministries.
    • The T0-Be image of Japanese society as the most advance ICT-centric country:
      1. Create new industries and new services using ICT technology.
        • Public open data and utilization of big data
        • Open innovation in such as agriculture and other industries using ICT
        • Regional development, including all remote islands
        • Break-through in the visual contents industry using next-generation AV technologies.
        • Message of Japanese culture at Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020
      2. Aim to be the most safest and robust society against natural disaster.
        • establish long-life and healthy society
        • natural disaster resilient society
        • effective and safe energy management
        • safe and ecological transportation system
        • diversified and world life balanced employment
      3. Realized to access one-stop public service anywhere in Japan.
        • effective and accessible e-Government services
        • improve of central and local government ICT systems
        • ICT governance of public ICT systems
    • Cf: London Olympic 2012:
      • called World largest Digital Olympic with three themes (S3);
        1. Social Media: use of Twitter; 125 times of that of Beijing Olympic 2008
        2. Security: Technical Operation Center (TOC) and separated Surveillance System
        3. Sustainability/Scalability: Energy saving measures, IP telephone, WiFi hot spot (1800), Access load balancing

  • Technical advancement in telecom:
    • Investment in core network vs. access network is about 40: 60, which shows IP related machines share is growing.; PSTN (Public Switched...)/ISDN decrease while VoIP increases.
    • Mobile telephone: 2G is still major worldwide, while in Japan shift to LTE/3.9G is rapid. LTE/4G is growing CGAR 50%. Thus the generation shift from 2G to 3G, and then to LTE/4G is quire rapidly occuring.
    • LTE (Long Term Evolution) is the technology enhanced 3G; usually called super-3G or 3.9G which wil be a bridge to 4G or partly include 4G function with download more than 100Mbps and upload more than 50Mbps, which are nearly same speed as broadband fiber service. But terminals and base stations need to be replaced for LTE/4G specification.
    • In Japan, NTT DoCoMo and Softbank adopted W-CDMA, while au adopted CDMA2000, both are developping HSPA/HSDPA and 1xEV-DO respectively for 3.G services. But both groups are expected to adopt same LTE in the next 4G.
    • In 2013, the share of smartphone exceeds feature phone terminals in world production.
    • In 2009, note PC exceeds Desktop PC. And in 2013 Tablet exceeds 40$ in world production.
