Abstract

[The impact Japan has had on the modern world is enormous. It occupies less than one-three-hundredth of the planet’s land area, yet at the height of its economic growth in the 1980s it wielded one-sixth of the planet’s economic might, and remains the third ranking economy in the world. There will be few homes and offices that do not rely on at least some Japanese technology. Japanese cars rule the roads. Despite recent problems with so-called ‘Japanese-style management’, many western and Asian managers still try to do things ‘the Japanese way’. Japanese foreign aid props up many a developing country’s economy. Project developers around the world seek Japanese investment. Tourist operators target the large numbers of wealthy Japanese who now travel overseas. Japan itself features as one of the most popular of all ‘places I would like to visit’ in western surveys. The list goes on.]
