The study utilizes methodological triangulation inclusive of textual, document, and value chain analysis. The Japanese government has progressively appreciated the intrinsic value of the media content from both a commercial and cultural context and the loss of value in unregulated segments of the regional market. In 2003, they established an Intellectual Property Strategy Group to support and promote the Japanese media content business. There has been a continuum of policy development since then to protect and amplify the financial value of Japanese media products. All of the developments in media industry are fuelled not only by government regulations, the imagination of talented artists and writers, and the growing regionalization and internationalization of the industry but also the ＂bottom line＂ emerging from the value chain. The recognition of the need for sustaining profit growth to continue the viability of original and remade content in Japan is paramount for Japan.展开更多

While many companies retain their executive leadership as chief knowledge officers （CKOs） and vice presidents of knowledge management, the trend toward appointing CKOs that developed in the late 1990＇s has been reversed at many companies and a new trend is to assign the strategic functions of knowledge management to the chief information officer （CIO）. This new strategic approach has many ramifications that determine if the firm will be able to meet not only short-term objectives but firm mission strategic outcomes as well. This paper researches over 100 knowledge management executives respondents in a broad cross-section of medium and large US industries and organizations to question why the shift is occurring and what the strategic basis is for this shift？ The results of this study clearly show that there are pros and cons to make this strategic shift and that many firms are doing so with little actual factual knowledge of the strategic effects on performance or intellectual capital formation. This paper and empirical ftrm performance and patent research is designed to give that top manager （CEO） the appropriate information to make rational decisions based on facts when considering eliminating or consolidation of CKO into the CIO function. Decisions on CLO and CKO positions should be based on the fu＇m related performance in both measurable intellectual property and financial results. The results are presented and summarized and the statistical methodology of regression and correlation are used in this paper.展开更多
