Purpose – The purpose of this study is to develop empirically an international comparison of the extent of student entrepreneurship and the factors influencing it. This study explores the factors responsible for the richness of entrepreneurship in Taiwan through a comparison with entrepreneurship in Japan. Looking at factors that determine the extent of entrepreneurship, the discussion builds on previous studies based on individual traits and those that are based on environments, such as a social system or climate. This study focuses on the individual and the environment. Design/methodology/approach – After identifying pertinent issues through a survey of relevant studies, a comparative study of Taiwan and Japan was undertaken. A questionnaire survey was distributed to around 20-year-old university students. Statistical analyses were performed to determine whether there is cause–effect relationship between environmental and individual factors and university students’ entrepreneurship, and to assess the significant differences between entrepreneurship in Taiwan and Japan. In addition, a qualitative case study of university politics related to entrepreneurship in Taiwan was conducted to complement the quantitative analysis. Findings – Results of the study by country indicate that the environmental factors and individual factors that influence entrepreneurship differ. Originality/value – The reciprocal complementarity of the environmental factors and the individual factors or the likelihood of co-evolution cyclic dynamism is demonstrated.

The objective of this research is to empirically compare the management that is most suitable for radical innovation with that needed for incremental innovation. The relationship between the results of research and development and management styles was surveyed using a questionnaire. Respondents included research and development leaders in Japanese manufacturing, with special attention given to the differences between radical innovation and incremental innovation. Results verified, in an integrated way, the management and leadership factors, taking into consideration the differences arising from the object under analysis and the environmental factors.

Various problems have been pointed out in the many researchers conducted in relation to internet addiction and social networking service (SNS) addiction. However, few studies have focused on Instagram addiction despite the increasing number of Instagram users in recent years. This study seeks to clarify the relationship between Instagram addiction among university students in Japan and the psychology of internet behaviour. In this study, a questionnaire was conducted with 93 Japanese university students, assuming that psychological status and behaviour in communication on the internet affect Instagram addiction. Young's 20-item Internet Addiction Test was used to measure the degree of Instagram addiction. The scale was modified for application to Instagram addiction: the psychological scale of communication on the internet was previously used in the study of addiction to SNS other than Instagram. As a result of the survey, it became clear that Instagram addiction is correlated to emotional reaction to the internet, consideration for posting expression and a sense of belonging. In addition, it was revealed that use time of Instagram, number of followers and number of followings are correlated with Instagram addiction. Instagram addiction is not correlated with a skill for not caring. In conclusion, the present study suggests that the amount of use of Instagram, the size of Instagram connections, the emotional connection with others and approval desire are related to Instagram addiction.

Although corporate governance is necessary for a company, it tends to be considered as a negative factor in terms of profit. In this research, corporate governance-related activities were redefined and classified in a broad sense, and the pathways from each different type of corporate governance leading to the revenue were explored. As a research methodology, a company questionnaire was used. In conclusion, the relationship between each corporate-governance activity, competitive advantage and triple bottom line became clear. Index Terms-Corporate governance, competitive advantage, triple bottom line.

The objective of this research is to analyzequantitatively the evaluation and background factors for tourist sites in Japan by the younger age group of Taiwanese visitors to Japan, and to consider a future subject. The questionnaire was designed based on consumer-behavior theory, service marketing, etc. as a theory relevant to sightseeing. It turned out that the factors that constitute especially quality of service and experience value are closely related to a revisit intention etc. In addition, as compared with other countries, the factors by which tourist sites in Japan were evaluated highly, and not highly, became clear among those factors.
