(★)(The rise of Japan as an economic superpower since World War II has been a remarkable episode in the history of the modern world. This book seeks to explain this phenomenal success by looking at the issues of culture and technology and making a comparison with the experience of the USA, the UK and Europe. The relationship between culture and technology lies at the heart of Japan´s market success in recent decades and the development of high technology and the much lauded ´cultural´ attributes of Japan have contributed powerfully to national success. These vital issues are examined in detail and include, for example, the relationship between company ´culture´ and ´structure´ and the overriding impact of Japanese ´national´ culture. ◆Ian Inkster is Research Professor of International History at Nottingham Trent University. ／Fumihiko Satofuka is Professor of the Sociology of Technology at Musashino Women´s University, Japan. He has been a Visiting Professor at Gothenburg University, Sweden since 1995 and Research Fellow at the University of Wales and the Open University since 1998. ▼CONTENTS／ ●CHAPTER 1／Introduction : Culture and Technology in Japan (Ian Inkster) ●CHAPTER 2／Skill and Intuition : A new technology culture at the intersection of different cultures (Masataka Baba) ●CHAPTER 3／Towards Fusion : Technology and Tradition in Japan (Fumihiko Satofuka) ●CHAPTER 4／Cultural Resources, Social Control and Technology Transfer : Industrial Transition Prior to 1914 (Ian Inkster) ●CHAPTER 5／From Imitation to Creativity (Kazumasa Iinuma) ●CHAPTER 6／Culture and Design : Issues of Communication and Knowledge (Satinder P.Gill) ●CHAPTER 7／National Culture, Policy and Competitiveness : Export Performance of U.S. and Japanese Industries (Richard C.Adams, Don E.Kash & Robert W.Rycroft) ●CHAPTER 8／Technology and its Value Orientation (Junzo Kawada)／) |
