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.
