(★)(Japanese Industry in the New Age of East Asia) (The´full-set´industrial structure --encompassing all industries and technologies and all stages of production from development through mass production-- was once the motive force behind Japan´s economic growth. Now, with the decline of Japan´s basic technologies, such as casting, machinery production, and others, this structure is crumbling. Where is the road to the revitalization of Japanese industry? Based on an analysis of the small and medium-sized companies that have underpinned Japan´s industrial development to the present day, this volume examines the current state and future outlook for Japan´s structural concentration of technology and calls for an Asian network where roles are shared among the Tokyo area, Japan´s provinces, and Japan´s neighboring nations, especially China.) |
