Research and Development (R&D) of biotechnology including basic research, applied research, utilization, and commercialization are promoted through formation and development of inter-organizational network. This inter-firm network is called R&D network in this paper. R&D network consists of two or more alliances, such as Joint Venture, Cooperative R&D, Licensing and Cross-Licensing. This paper argued R&D network formation in biotechnology industry. Especially, the problem how to discover emergent partner in the upstream industry is discussed. In this paper, the social network perspective is adopted as an analytical framework. By using a social network perspective, not only the direct relation between an organization and a partner but an indirect relation can be caught within a view. In this paper, the case study about the biotechnology business of TAKARA SHUZO CO., LTD. is also performed. TAKARA SHUZO is the company which succeeded in forming and developing the alliance with a university or a venture business from the infancy of biotechnology industry to present. As a result of empirical analysis, not only reputation of emergent partner who is indirectly relating to organization but also the reputation of the organization which is invisible asset of an organization played an important role in the formation and development of R&D network. A partner's reputation is useful to an organization discovering and choosing a partner. The reputation of an organization is useful to an organization being discovered and chosen from a partner. The human network which collects a emergent partner's reputation, and the structure which processes a emergent partner's reputation systematically built while TAKARA SHUZO developed the biotechnology business affect the reputation of an organization. The reputation of an organization is invisible asset of the organization because it has path-dependent character and is dependent on the history of the organization. Therefore, this paper suggested formation and development of R&D network can be understood as a chain of emergent partner's reputation and organization's reputation.
