Abstract: A study/development is objectively evaluated for introduction of share for investors so as to provide an investment chance to the study/development and pay dividend. A processing unit reads in study plan information, study result information, study cost balance information, and expected result information for each of the study theme identification information from a storage unit. According to each study theme identification information, the processing unit calculates a total investment sum A up to now and future study investment sum B. The processing unit calculates an expected implementation income H and a risk coefficient I. The processing unit calculates a profit index R predicting probability of industrialization of the study theme and obtaining profit and ranks the profit index. The processing unit stores study theme information including various information associated with study/development.

Abstract: Matching between seeds of technology developed and needs required by an enterprise is found and the technology as the study result is transferred. A processing unit discloses technology seeds information including a study/development plan, study result, expected result, study cost, balance, and the like via a communication network. Upon reception of a contract application from a development institution, the processing unit inputs contract application information. The processing unit identifies the application type: an information disclosure contract which discloses detailed study result information to an enterprise, or an option contract which gives an optional right enabling an enterprise to carry out the study result with a predetermined time limit before the contract, or a development contract which gives right to develop the technology obtained by the study result, and performs a contract pressing corresponding to the application type.
