Based on the framework of four fields in knowledge creation, three government financialinstitutions have been investigated.At the Development Assistance Fund of Viet Nam, only exercising field has been developed.Knowledge utilization is limited to the realm of explicit knowledge.At the Development and Infrastructure Bank of Malaysia, merely systemizing field andexercising field have been developed. Knowledge utilization is also limited to the realm of explicitknowledge.At the Development Bank of Japan, originating field and dialoguing field, as well assystemizing field and exercising field, have been developed. Both explicit knowledge and implicitknowledge are utilized for knowledge creation.There are two types of collective learning loop. Shallow loop ends only within explicitknowledge. Deep loop circulates into implicit knowledge, too. Utilization of implicit knowledge makessuch difference.Collective learning, based on the utilization of organizational knowledge, helps forecastchanges in circumstances, thereby enabling agile actions toward self-transformation.

Japan’s industrial clusters are sometimes projected in inconvenient sites apart from existingagglomeration. MEXT’s Knowledge-intensive Clusters are dispersed to eighteen local regions,excluding the capital region which retains many of the country’s scientists and research facilities. In thecapital region, several state-of-the-art research centers are not networked well, making face-to-facecommunication difficult. Mobilization of knowledge-worker stocks is not always easy in such artificiallocations. They need to be equipped with quality of life and proximity to facilitate knowledge workers’sustainable interaction.Many of the current cluster projects target at life science, which tend to be more risky than ITand other industries. The United States mitigate such risks through venture business utilization andample fund provision by NIH and venture capital firms. Japan’s clusters need to effectively mobilizestartup companies and government budgets that are currently dispersed among related ministries.For region’s endogenous development, universities should provide necessary human capital andknowledge. Market needs must be closely monitored, and startups should be further mobilized.Supporting institutions should network the related parties and integrate the individual efforts. Japan’smatured and high-standard market would sophisticate life-oriented products and services. Life scienceand other technologies are to improve our quality of life.

Industrial clusters in the US, Europe and Asia are equipped with provisions for “quality of life” (QOL), while those in Japan are often artificially located in isolated areas and lack QOL.Knowledge workers appreciate urban convenience, life amenities, open culture, natural environment, leisure activities, and other aspects of QOL, on top of challenging and rewarding jobs; therefore, a region’s QOL, among other factors, can attract and sustain knowledge workers, thereby promoting innovation and strengthening the industrial cluster’s competitiveness. In return, an industrial cluster can create employment, increase a region’s revenues from personal income and other taxes, provide “civic entrepreneurs” who take the leadership of regional development, and improve a region’s QOL.This productive cycle between QOL and industrial clusters can be a key factor in improving a region in a sustainable way. Local governments should not forget to improve the region’s QOL when developing industrial clusters in the age of inter-regional competition in the knowledge economy.

大学・院卒業者と専門的・技術的職業従事者のデータを用い,わが国の知識労働者の分布状況を調べると,市区町村レベルの集中度合では,武蔵野・文京・国分寺・麻生(川崎)・小金井・青葉(横浜)・鎌倉・国立・渋谷・杉並・多摩(川崎)が上位を占める。集積のウェイトも考慮すると,世田谷・練馬・大田や,岡山・奈良・熊本などの地方中核都市が上位に加わる。わが国の知識労働者は,主に近郊の都市・交通利便性の高く生活環境のよい都市に自然集積している。そこでは全般的に所得が高い。多様性への寛容度も相応に認められる。知識労働者の生活の場は郊外化しているが,知識創造には対面の対話が重要なため,職場は都心部の本社などが中心である。知識労働者は毎日長時間と多大な労力を通勤に費やしている。知識労働者の集まる近郊都市において,仕事と生活・文化を融合し,生活の場の創造力を誘発すれば,身近なイノベーションが可能となる。大都市中心部に住機能を整備して再利用し,文化的刺激のなか職住近接の環境を整えれば,知識労働者が時間を有効活用できる。地方中核都市は,多様な人材を活用することにより,人材難を緩和できる。知識労働者は,充実した仕事と快適な生活を求める人々である。多様な都市が,高質の生活環境を用意し,多様な知識労働者を惹きつければ,その相互作用により,自都市の,ひいては国全体の競争力を維持することができるだろう。
