In "Technology and Industrial Growth in Pre-War Japan," Yukiko
Fukasaku examines development in Japan in the pre-War period, and
views the achievements of this period as central to the present
competitiveness of the country's industrial technology. She gives
particular emphasis to the crucial role played by training and
research in the accumulation of technological capability and the
assimilation of imported technology.
Fukasaku shows that successful technology transfer and
improvements to the imported technology made possible by research
and role-training formed the basis of the great technological
success of post-war Japan. She uses the Mitsubishi Nagasaki
shipyard as a case study, looking at technological innovation and
training as the key to long-term stability and economic success.
This study has important implications for industrial development
worldwide. Japan's starting point over a century ago was similar to
the present conditions of many developing countries, and the book's
emphasis on the acquisition of better skills as a key to
development worldwide is as relevant to the United States and
Europe as it is to the Third World.
