This book looks at Japanese companies in manufacturing and services
sectors and how they are trying to emerge from the prolonged
uncertainty of the pandemic. The chapters are written by those
dealing with Japanese business under the shadow of the pandemic and
being influenced by the continuous and rapid adoption of digital
technologies in business and our daily lives. This book brings
together the experiences of big and small corporations while
looking at how digital transformation and the pandemic combined
have led to a transformation in the product, production processes
and services. It highlights the role played by robots, 3-D printing
and renewable energy in manufacturing while the impact can be seen
in the changes coming to future offices, how we work and interact
and how we relax through tourism and travel on the service side.
The services sector is as much impacted by digital transformation
and the pandemic as any other field in business. Aimed at
academics, researchers and practitioners, Japanese Business
Operations in an Uncertain World will provide valuable insights
into how Japanese organizations are adapting to the dual impact of
the pandemic and advancements in digital technologies.

This book explores how the business transformation taking place in
Japan is influenced by the digital revolution. Its chapters present
approaches and examples from sectors commonly understood to be
visible arenas of digital transformation-3D printing and mobility,
for instance-as well as some from not-so-obvious sectors, such as
retail, services, and fintech. Business today is facing
unprecedented change especially due to the adoption of new, digital
technologies, with a noticeable transformation of manufacturing and
services. The changes have been brought by advanced robotics, the
emergence of artificial intelligence, and digital networks that are
growing in size and capability as the number of connected devices
explodes. In addition, there are advanced manufacturing and
collaborative connected platforms, including machine-to-machine
communications. Adoption of digital technology has caused process
disruptions in both the manufacturing and services sectors and led
to new business models and new products. While examining the
preparedness of the Japanese economy to embrace these changes, the
book explores the impact of digitally influenced changes on some
selected sectors from a Japanese perspective. It paints a big
picture in explaining how a previously manufacturing-centric,
successful economy adopts change to retain and rebuild success in
the global environment. Japan as a whole is embracing, yet also
avoiding-innovating but also restricting-various forms of
digitalization of life and work. The book, with its 17 chapters, is
a collaborative effort of individuals contributing diverse points
of view as technologists, academics, and managers.
