Input of cause-and-effect model information where the coefficients at which three evaluated values, i.e., the evaluated values of business strategy, research-and-development strategy, and
intellectual property strategy influence the company evaluated value, the coefficients at which the three evaluated values and the company evaluated value influence the
observable indexes respectively, the error variables with which the factors other than the three evaluated values and the company evaluated value give variations to the company evaluated value and the
observable indexes respectively are assumed is received. From the inputted the cause-and-effect model information and the
observable indexes, the estimates of the coefficients are calculated by
covariance structure analysis. From the coefficients and the observable indexes, the three evaluated values and the company evaluated value are calculated. With this, the relationship among the three strategies which are directly nonobservable abstract factors, i.e., the business strategy, the research-and-development strategy, and
intellectual property strategy and the company value is verified, and company evaluation based on these three strategies can be performed.
