CALCULATION METHOD OF INDICATORS INDICATING DEGREES CORRESPONDING WITH CUSTOMER'S DEMANDS AND INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR TECHNOLOGIES

摘要

PURPOSE: An index calculating method for demand correspondence and investment requirement of technical elements is provided to calculate indexes of the demand correspondence and the investment requirement by considering a relation between the technical elements and relative significance of consumer demands, thereby calculating priority related to development of the technical elements. CONSTITUTION: A first matrix is generated based on input information for relative significance for confirmed consumer demands. A second matrix is generated based on the input information for correlation between the consumer demands and technical elements. A third matrix is generated based on the input information for correlation between the technical elements. A fourth matrix, which shows direct and indirect effect of the technical elements to the consumer demands, is calculated based on the second matrix and the third matrix. A fifth matrix, which shows a degree corresponding to the consumer demands, is calculated based on the first matrix and the fourth matrix.
