Abstract
The paper discusses Japan's economic development at the turn of the 19th century with respect to an article published by Miwa and Ramseyer entitled, "Japanese Industrial Finance at the Close of the 19th Century: Trade Credit and Financial Intermediation." The paper is of the opinion that the article is useful and largely successful at supporting the authors' points. The paper points out, however, that the article is prefaced with an over abundance of historical data that is, at best, only partially relevant from a historical perspective.
From the Paper
"This article discusses several issues relevant to the Japanese economic experience during the late 19th century as it relates to financial revolutions that anticipate rapid economic growth. The observation is made that Japan did experience such a financial upheaval but that it was not artificially inspired but rather the natural by-product of private investor demands for greater financial infrastructures. Additionally, the authors observe that while securities existed in tandem with traditional bank credit structures, trade credit was largely relied upon in order to raise capital for ongoing industrial expansion."

From the Paper
"The Japanese industrial expansion since World War II has been considerable and has been noted by other industrialized nations around the world. Japan began from a position far behind the West, with her infrastructure devastated, and since has achieved a position of economic preeminence, challenging the United States and other industrialized nations for world leadership in innovation and industrial production, especially in high-tech industries of great import on the international scene today and into the future. The U.S. has recently started giving Japan greater attention in order to discern the management styles used in Japan and to emulate them to the greatest degree possible, and the increase in Japanese investment in the U.S., with the opening of a certain number of Japanese manufacturing companies in the U.S., primarily to produce Japanese cars. ...

Abstract
This paper examines the Japanese culture and its relationship to banking. The characteristics of Japanese banking are outlined, and two socio-economic constructs, known as the "zaibatsu" and "keiretsu", are discussed. These socio-economic constructs illustrate strong historical links between banks and industry in Japan. The differences between Japanese and Western capitalism are explained.
From the Paper
"Several years ago, researchers began investigating the relationship between Japanese Capitalism and Western Capitalism. Johnson (1993) pointed out that the differences between the two types of Capitalism are profound and point to changing and evolving theories of economics. This dichotomy of attitudes is the result, suggests Johnson, of many factors, most predominant of which was a certain blindness on the part of the West to acknowledge that Japanese capitalism was indeed different from the laissez-faire construct of the West (Aoki, 1988)."

From the Paper
"At the beginning of the decade of the 1970s, "Detroit" was shorthand both for the American automobile industry and for American industrial leadership and muscle. Both, in the eyes of most of the American public, were essentially unchallenged. A decade later, the American automobile industry appeared to be in a state of collapse. Imported cars, mainly Japanese, had made enormous inroads into the American domestic automobile market, inroads driven--at least initially--by the Japanese carmakers' ability to provide their product at lower cost to the consumer.
From the time that Japanese imported cars first became highly visible on American roads, the inroads of the Japanese have been accompanied by an increasingly heated debate over whether the success of the Japanese imports was based on genuine competitive advantages, or at least in part by unfair trade ...

Abstract
Rohwer (1998) paints a disturbing picture of the Japanese Banking Industry. He states that much has happened in America's S&L crisis in the early 1990s, bad banks need to be shut down or taken over, good banks recapitalized, bad loans written off, and the collateral underlying them (usually real estate) disposed of at fire sale prices (Rohwer, 1998, 22).

"A Study of theJapanese Banking Industry
Introduction
Rohwer (1998) paints a disturbing picture of the Japanese Banking Industry. He states that much has happened in America's S&L crisis in the early 1990s, bad banks need to be shut down or taken over, good banks recapitalized, bad loans written off, and the collateral underlying them (usually real estate) disposed of at fire sale prices (Rohwer, 1998, 22). Most theorists and analysts point out that the bad debt problem of Japanese banks could amount to upwards of 25% of that country s GDP, implying that a solution (if available) is bound to be enormously painful and costly (Rohwer, 1998, 22).
Also in 1998, the year that the Japanese banking system proposed a plan (of sorts) for bailing out the economy, the Economist in..."

Abstract
This paper examines the growing interest on the part of employees of working for ethical businesses. The paper first defines ethics; it then deciphers the differences between ethics and moral values, identifies the author's own personal ethics and how he came to arrive at those ethics, and then explores the implications of ethics in his decision-making processes.
From the Paper
"I work under two major codes of personal ethics, and many times they intersect with one another. I have a professional code and a family code. My codes are not an optional extra like the electric windows on my car. Practicing those ethics is not something I would do if there were no other burning matters. It is the way I try to do everything. Ethics are a necessity, not a luxury. My ethics are rooted in my upbringing and my religion. From a very young age, I learned about the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, and from that I was able to decipher the differences between right and wrong based on those teachings. This lent itself to the establishment of my personal code of ethics. Things like lying, cheating, stealing, and respect for my parents, friends and family are included in that code."

Japanese Cuisine: Japanese Culture and What They Eat, 2000.

From the Paper
"Within the Japanese cuisine, there contains many strange meals but there are myriads of delights that would make anybody?s tastes buds melt. Coming from a Japanese decent I have tried many of these tasty meals, but I would not take it too an extreme to say that I drink ?snakes blood for longevity?(Steinberg 6). Japanese meals are actually considered very healthy and low fat considered to the traditional American, southern fried chicken. Japanese food is served in little portions and displayed in a very exciting way to liven up every aspect of each savory bite. To liven up these dishes we often cut vegetables or fruits into tiny designs or animals, or organize each piece of meat and each small vegetable in a way that flatters the plate. Cutting and Slicing, mostly vegetables into meticulous designs, makes a dish its own work of art. "

"The automobile industry in Japan and the United States serves as an example of the differences in style between these two countries, differences which have been much studied in recent years as American companies attempt to become more competitive and to do so by learning what has made Japanese companies so successful.

Japan began from a position far behind the West, with her infrastructure devastated, and since has achieved a position of economic preeminence, challenging the United States and other industrialized nations for world leadership in innovation and industrial production, especially in high-tech industries of great import on the international scene today and into the future.

The Japanese-American Bio-pharmaceutical Industry, 2002.
An insight into the Japanese-American bio-pharmaceutical industry and the availability of drugs in each country.

Abstract
This paper discusses how the Japanese-American bio-pharmaceutical industry represents an ongoing international effort between the two top pharmaceutical markets in the world. It looks at why a number of pharmaceutical products that are currently available to U.S. residents are unavailable to Japanese consumers and how from a humanitarian perspective, this discrepancy denies access to life-enhancing and life-saving drugs to the Japanese population. It proposes a study to evaluate how the United States and Japan can work collaboratively to optimize the availability of ethical pharmaceuticals so that every American and Japanese citizen is permitted free access to life-enhancing and life-saving drugs.

From the Paper
"Regardless of the strategic tools that are utilized for a meaningful entry into U.S. markets as well as growth, Japanese firms must increasingly rely on local staff. Depending on local staff to manage their business, and providing those managers with sufficient opportunities and incentives, is a management challenge that Japanese pharmaceutical manufacturers have yet to overcome, especially in the United States. This will require a modification of management methods throughout the firm, including domestic headquarters. Such changes will be slow and will be resisted; we expect the issue of bicultural management to be a struggle for most Japanese pharmaceutical firms throughout the 1990s. This ?people issue? also involves a number of organizational matters that many of these firms are now attempting to manage."

"This study will consider a number of elements of the "submissive" middle class in Japanese society as described and analyzed in Karel van Wolferen's "The Enigma of Japanese Power".
The basis of much of the power and order of Japan in the world in the late years of the 20th century is what van Wolferen calls the "submissive" nature of that society. As the author notes, "The post-war aims of the Japanese System have been entrusted mainly to the economic organizations. The System is preoccupied with industrial and commercial pursuits.. " And industrial and commercial pursuits are successful because of submissive and obedient workers, who are modeled on the "salaryman" model.
As the author writes, " . . . The term 'salaryman' connotes much more than 'office clerk' or 'white-collar worker'; it stands ... "

From the Paper
"Following a worldwide trend, the United States steel industry capacity and output has been in a generalized decline since 1973, when a post-W.W.II record of more than 150 million net tons of raw steel was produced (Hogan, 1987, p. 8). Following World War II, steel production in the United States accounted for some 57% of the total world output in 1947 (Hogan, 1987, p. 1), due in large part to the increased wartime production, and the fact that the industry had not suffered any ill-effects from W.W. II (as did those of the U.K., Germany, the U.S.S.R., and Japan).
By 1950, however, it could be reported that the United States' share in the production of raw steel had declined slightly to 46.4% of total world volume, and had seriously deteriorated to only 23% by 1968. In that time, the most notable ..."

"EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Following the 1994 downturn in the Japanese economy, the Japanese kereitsu are facing hard times. However, those economic analysts and members of the news media who are tempted to write them off as "dinosaurs" are making a mistake. There are many observers who feel that the keiretsu are more viable than ever, and there is much research that confirms this point. This article looks at some of the current research concerning the management success of kereitsu as well as some of the modern industries that this uniquely Japanese system of business organization is being applied to. Rather than dealing exclusively with the auto industry, this report looks at a number of concepts all based on the thinking of the relatively new discipline of Economic Sociology. A summary of challenges for ..."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper traces the history of the Japanese film industry beginning with its early success and subsequent failure in the face of competition from American films. The paper looks at famous Japanese film directors and their films and describes the techniques and styles used by the directors as well as their impact on the Japanese film industry. The paper also looks at more recent films produced by Japan's film industry that have received accolades and financial success in the Japanese and Western markets.
From the Paper
"Although Japan is the world's second biggest movie market, analysts in film and business claim that the country's film industry is dying or dead. In the early 1960s, nearly two-thirds of the films that were popular in Japan were made in that country, while today the same percentage of films that are showing in Japan are made overseas. [1] Critics claim that the industry is not commercial enough to appeal to a broader range of viewers outside of Japan. Critics also claim that television and video games have ruined the Japanese love for their cinema, whose history is more than a century old."

Post-Industrial Society, 2002.
An examination of the changes in society as it moves from industrial to post-industrial.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper mainly discusses the post-industrial society and the transition process from industrial to post-industrial society. By using the articles and the ideas of Castells, Bell, Negri and Hardt, the writer explains how the post-industrial society has emerged, and predicts the shape of post-industrial society in future. The writer also tries to construct his own point of view about the post-industrial society and explains the reason why he calls post-industrial society a digital society.
From the Paper
"Post-industrial society is a conception of late 20th century, which simply emphasizes the declining dependence of the societies on mass manufacturing industry and the increasing roles of service sector, knowledge and information technologies in production. By contrast the industrial society, which precedes post-industrial society, refers to the mass production (factory-based) as the dominant form of production. I think the best definition regarding post-industrial era has come from Daniel Bell, who is also considered as the father of post-industrial society. He suggests that post industrial society includes the birth and growth of a knowledge class, change from goods to service sectors and change from blue-collar to white-collar occupations. For him, all of these could be based on an increasing dependence on science as a means of innovation as well as a means of technical and social change."
