Abstract: The Business Innovation project group in the Human Innovation Research Center (HiRC) of Aoyama Gakuin University in Japan has engaged in some joint research activities with several universities and corporations related to manufacturing and IT software industries. The main objectives of this project group are to research and develop a new framework for global product lifecycle management (PLM) strategy and practical PLM educational programmes for undergraduates, graduates and adult education. The main purpose of this article is to report on three research issues. The first issue is an instructional design and practice of a new course named Global Product Strategy for undergraduates at the Department of Business in Aoyama Gakuin University. Secondly, an investigation of the PLM Expert Educational Program at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) was made so as to re-design the educational programme for adult education in Japan. Finally, several policies to enhance the curriculum design of a Global PLM Strategy education programme through university-industry research collaboration and joint education are described. Furthermore, an action group project was implemented from October, 2012 to September, 2013 to prepare for research and development of a 'global production producer' (GMP) training programme in the future.
