Abstract:

To what extent, and in what way, has the Japanese economy changed? Have the comparative and competitive advantages of the Japanese companies changed? In which areas, are they competitive now? Why so? In what ways are their organizations and strategies similar to and different from their American and Western rivals? What kinds of competitive advantages do American and European companies have against them? Is the Japanese economy converging with that of the U.S., or does it remain distinctly Japanese? What kinds of issues and challenges of sustainability are Japanese businesses facing? What are their strategies to engage with stakeholders in coping with the issues? This interdisciplinary course covering diverse issues, topics, and academic disciplines will be taught by subject experts under a careful coordination to help students explore broad factors that drive companies of Japan and East Asia to global success, and to examine underlying social, economic and political dynamics.
