Since its founding, PAOS' research efforts have proceeded hand in hand with our practice, and our investigations into CI, business administration and design, corporate dealings with society at large, corporate culture,bureaucratic culture and so on, are an ongoing undertaking. The materials,information and know-how that we have accumulated through this research are a valuable global resource, both in terms of their quantity and their quality, and the results of our globally-networked information gathering and cooperative research endeavors have been published in a variety of formats. These publications have had an immeasurable impact on the fields of designand corporate identity in Japan, in Asia and throughout the world.
