This article presents Toshiba Corporation's policy, organization and management on basic research as well as the management of its Research and Development Centre (RDC), in particular that of the Advanced Research Laboratory (ARL) set up within the latter in 1988. Toshiba's R&D organization consists of three types of entities: development sections and development laboratories in the business groups and corporate laboratories. The RDC's R&D cover all of Toshiba's business domains, these being in the areas of energy and electronics. The process of setting R&D themes takes one of two paths: one is the "Long and Mid-range research Programme" where R&D themes and targets are examined systematically; the other is the so-called "R&D Planning by Individual Researchers". Basic research at RDC involves "purposive basic research", that is, constructing images of suture applications, examining the essence of the research by clearly defining the target, and undertaking basic research wherever deemed necessary. The mission of the ARL is to carry out purposive basic research on advanced materials or devices that are likely to form the core of new business fields. The flat-type organization of the ARL allows the director of the labolatory ot manage all the research themes directly. Besides the ability to solve problems, researchers at the ARL are expected to generate research problems on their own and to display a capacity for self-management.
