Laser is one of the most important innovations in the 20th century. Since Dr. Maiman succeeded with optical radiation in rubies in 1960, laser-technology has been developed to a high degree in 2 fields, information application and energy production. Information application includes telecommunication through optical-waveguide network systems, computer and information technologies, office automation and consumer products. Energy production includes production oriented nuclear fusion, processing and sensing of industrial and medical uses.In the end of this century, we can see the formation of a new industry called "Opto-Electronics Industry" which is based on development of laser-technology. The subject of this paper is to analyze how to form and develop this industry in Japan. This process has been carried out as part of diversification strategies of MDFs (=Multi Divisional Firms). Therefore we have to search corporate strategies and business strategies.We have analyzed three main markets which are in the formative period: 1-laser diodes, 2-optical-waveguides, 3-optical disks including compact disks, video disks and optical computer storages.In this paper, I will try to show that there are similar patterns when firms enter new markets. These patterns can be divided into 3 groups according to internal resources: marketing resources only, technological resources only, and both marketing and technological resources. The pattern means a stand point on which firms make the decision which consists of corporate strategies and business strategies. Then, I will make clear that the values of strategy are how it can lead firms to strive to get both marketing and technological resources, exceeding the limits of their internal resources, if they have been any pattern.
