Opis

This study of Japan's industrial development focuses on the role of entrepreneurship first in adopting more advanced Western technology and then in innovating new technologies and developing human resources according to its changing organizational needs. Unlike previous studies, it covers the whole of the period since the Meiji restoration.

Recenzje

Japan is sometimes considered to be a model of state-led development, but this historical account of Japanese technological development provides an impressive body of evidence to the contrary. The authors provide succinct and well-documented narrative case studies of technological development. - Marcus Rebick. The Economic Journal. July 1998.
