Abstract

Comment expliquer les origines de l'impressionnant développement économique japonais au cours du XXe siècle ? Alors que les thèses habituellement avancées soulignent le rôle du pouvoir central (gouvernement et zaibatsu), Nakamura Naofumi nous fait parcourir le Japon de l'ère Meiji (1868-1912) dans toute son étendue, du nord au sud, à la découverte des fondations régionales de la « Révolution industrielle ». Analysant la mentalité des acteurs, leur capacité à l'échange d'informations, à l'activation de réseaux de proximité, à la mobilisation de capitaux, l'auteur décrit une pléthore d'entrepreneurs et d'agents publics locaux dynamiques. Engagés dans le lancement d'entreprises innovantes de dimension régionale, ils réalisèrent des aménagements industriels (filatures, charbonnages, chemin de fer ou secteur électrique) dans tout l'archipel entre les années 1880 et 1900. À l'heure où la désindustrialisation des régions s'accompagne d'une croissance économique en berne, la démonstration de Nakamura Naofumi n'apparaît que plus riche de sens.

Abstract

The management of buyer-supplier relations has come to be regarded as a key to achieving manufacturing competitiveness, particularly in sectors facing global competition based on both price and quality. This book is a theoretical and empirical exploration of the link between the type of buyer-supplier relations and corporate performance. Dr Sako examines how British and Japanese companies in the electronics industry manage their relationships with buyers and suppliers, the empirical study comprising a three-way comparison of a Japanese customer company, a British customer company, and a Japanese company in Britain, and an analysis of 36 supplier companies in Britain and Japan. Variations of the companies' business practices are assessed in terms of technology, the nature of market competition, the national legal framework, financial structures, employment systems, and the mode of entrepreneurship. The author identifies two distinct approaches in the two countries - the arm's-length contractual relation (ACR) in Britain, and the obligational contractual relation (OCR) in Japan - and argues that the trust and interdependence present in the latter can be a powerful springboard from which to achieve corporate success.

Abstract

Since the last century, ceramics have become essential to modern society and our daily lives. They have become an indispensable product to many industries, especially within the fields of electronics, automobiles, medicine, and leisure. Japanese ceramic technologies and products are highly sophisticated and world renown, and ceramic products have long contributed to Japanese society. The true significance of ceramics to modern society however, is not well understood. This book describes in detail the background to and objective of the development, materials, manufacturing processes, functions and future prospects of a number of ceramic products. Not merely about the science and technology of ceramic manufacturing, the book is about the products themselves, as it tries to clarify how ceramics continue to contribute to our lives. It is the first such work to show advanced ceramic products in detail, from the technologies used to their application, and can be seen as a kind of illustrated reference book for modern advanced ceramic products as it is filled with easy-to-understand illustrations and photos. By including past and current product technologies, the editors hope the book will serve to guide engineers and the manufacturing sector toward a bright future of innovations for the benefit of us all.
