They were young executives or backbone executives who succeeded to the business and were thinking of doing a new trial in their suc-ceeded business. At the first stage of our challenge, each ex-ecutive brought their own problems in research and develop-ment to University and discussed their own possible technical solution with a professor who supervises them. This individual approach was effective but not enough for their expected hopes as the reward of time and efforts which they spend at Univer-sity. We then tried the other approach to satisfy their purpose of entering a University. Since their wish was to find out the own way in their succeeded business, we started the cross dis-cussion meeting in which all executive students and other graduate students participated. We indicated the activity, which executives bring both of the problems regarding man-agement and R&D of their company and discuss these matters with other executive student and professors in a University, is effective for the foothold which works out a management strategy for the executive. In this reports, we discuss a possible activity which will be effective for regional innovative from a local University.}, pages = {27--30}, title = {Why did Executives of Local Companies Enter Graduate School of Local University?}, year = {2011} }
