Book Description
"How did Japan, despite its lack of natural resources, become the world's leading iron- and steel-producing country? It is not enough to put an emphasis merely on the role of government. When Japan entered the modern industrial world in the middle of the nineteenth century, the country lacked not only technology but also technologists, engineers, a capital pool, managers, experienced workers, and a steady level of demand for new industrial outputs. To industrialise Japan needed not only to transfer physical equipment from the Western world but also to build up economic, social and organisational capabilities internally." "This book examines the history of Japan's iron and steel industry and scrutinises how the collaboration between government, industry and individual entrepreneurs created this economic miracle."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Description
The field of business history has changed and grown dramatically over the last few years. There is less interest in the traditional `company-centred' approach and more concern about the wider business context. With the growth of multi-national corporations in the 1980s, international and inter-firm comparisons have gained in importance. In addition, there has been a move towards improving links with mainstream economic, financial and social history through techniques and outlook. The International Bibliography of Business History brings all of the strands together and provides the user with a comprehensive guide to the literature in the field. The Bibliography is a unique volume which covers the depth and breadth of research in business history. This exhaustive volume has been compiled by a team of subject specialists from around the world under the editorship of three prestigious business historians.

Book Description
The goal of this path-breaking volume is to relativize the experience of Japanese industries in terms of both location and time, exploring its similarities and differences with other countries and its unique relationship with the global standard of company performance set by US firms. Yongdo Kim looks beyond organizational principles, overturns stereotypes, and covers a wide range of industries. In particular, this book focuses on the intertwining of the market principle and the organizational principle in interfirm relationships among the steel, machine tool, integrated circuit and liquid-crystal display materials industries, concluding that there is no such thing as ‘Japanese uniqueness’ in the history of interfirm relationships. This book compares several intermediate product industries within a global context to offer insights into the studies of businesses across the globe. Numerous interviews with key individuals in the Japanese steel, integrated circuit and machine tool industries offer unique and illuminating information. This analysis covers a broad range of firms by examining the relationships within large companies as well as smaller corporations. This fresh and varied analysis is a critical resource for both business practitioners and scholars of business history, business strategy, industrial marketing, product development management, and economic history.
