Paper Summary:
This paper explains that, after World War 2, Japan developed an international competitive advantage based on its ability to import foreign technology, which it would then diffuse throughout its business society, focusing on commercial applications. The author describes the process of integration, which was facilitated by strategic alliances between universities and business organizations, by the development of different forms of management that speed up advancements in research and development (R&D), by the establishment of quality maintenance systems and by strong government support that built a free market infrastructure. The paper relates that managing long-term stakeholder relations is another aspect of the growth of Japanese R&D.From the Paper:
"Another factor contributing to accelerating research and development activities is the Japanese patent system which is different from that in industrialized nations in Europe and the US in that the definition of novelty is not as stringent. As a result, every modification on an existing technology is regarded as qualifying for patent protection. This prompts the management in business organizations to intensify their research and development efforts in a particular area in order to pre-empt patent applications in the same area from other organizations."Sample of Sources Used:

Publisher Since:
Jun 08, 2008 I have an MBA from National University of Singapore and a BBA from University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. In MBA, my major was in operations management. However I covered a wide variety of subjects in marketing, finance and accounting. My paper on the analysis of financial statements was published. I enrolled in National University of Singapore because I was offered a full scholarship from the Asian Development Bank, one of eight such awards given every year. As part of an exchange program, I also spent one quarter in University of Washington, Seattle. There I covered four subjects in marketing, statistics, operations and IT. I have also worked in a variety of professional roles that allowed to me apply my academic learnings to real life.
