(★)(The global industrial system has fundamentally and irreversibly changed in the past decade. Information technology, with renewable knowledge resources as the critical ingredient, has replaced conventional industrial technology, relying on non-renewable resources, as the main driving force of a new order. As knowledge resources are more universally distributed, the number of nations playing an active technological role is steadily increasing. And, in electrnonics, the basic technology of the information age, Japanese industry and research institutes have now emerged as world leaders, dramatically altering patterns of competition and the flow of technology.／ The author, in this revised and expanded edition, presents a vivid picture of Japan´s electronics industry and its technological development over the last ten-year period. He explores the reasons for the industry´s ascendancy and shows why technological innovation must be regarded as the main factor of its comparative advantage. And, for the purposes of future prognosis, he includes a carefully documented first-hand analysis of those features of Japanese society, business organization and enterprises system that will determine the future development patterns of Japanese electronics technology.／ ◆Gene Gregory is Professor of International Business at Sophia University in Tokyo. Educated at Georgetown University, Johns Hopkins University, Cornell University and the Institut des Hautes Etudes Internationales in Geneva, Switzerland, he came to Japan first as a Ford Foundation Fellow in 1955 and returned as a Japan Foundation Professional Fellow in 1977. As an industrialist and consultant, he worked at the interface between Japan, Southeast Asia and Europe in high technology. Gregory is the author of numerous articles, monographs and books on international business, industry and technology. ▼CONTENTS／ ●PART I : THE JAPANESE ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY／1.The Making of a Revolution／2.Strategies and Structures／ ●PART II : TECHNOLOGY／3.The Propensity for Innovation／4.Managing Technological Change／5.Mega-Research and Microelectronics／6.The Great Engineering Gap／7.Finance for High Technology／ ●PART III : CONSUMER ELECTRONICS／8.The Protectionist Threat／9.The Legal Conundrum／10.Innovation and Internationalization／11.High-Definition Television／ ●PART IV : SEMICONDUCTORS／12.Brave New World of Microelectronics／13.The VLSI Revolution／14.Chip-Making Machinery : The Birth of a Hi-Tech Industry／ ●PART V : COMPUTERS／15.Big Blue Beseiged／16.Turbulent Transition／17.New Strategies and Structures／18.The Great Supercomputer Sweepstakes／ ●PART VI : COMPUTER SERVICES／19.Hard Facts About Japanese Software／20.Database Services : Another New Growth Industry／ ●PART VII : FACTORY AUTOMATION／21.Japanese Factory 1990／22.Robotics and Flexible Manufacturing Systems／ ●PART VIII : COMMUNICATIONS／23.Networks for the Information Society／24.The Changing Role of NTT／25.New Technology and Industrial Structures／26.The Den Den Family Under Stress／27.New Media : Facsimile／28.VAN --Birth of a New Industry／29.LAN --The Net Results of Automation／ ●PART IX : REGIONAL INTEGRATION／30.East Asian Electronics : System and Synergy／) |
