When we refer to Japan's economy today, the "lost 30 years" tend to be mentioned the most. Once Japan's economy rose from the ruins of World War II, it quickly rose to a high position, and became the world's second largest economy. However, in the past 30 years, Japan's economy has encountered huge problems, and in more than 30 years, the country's GDP has not grown at all, and the per capita GDP has fallen from the world's first to the world's 30th.
Why is Japan's economy in such a situation? In the face of such a bleak situation, is there any hope for the Japan economy? Is there a chance for Japan's manufacturing to re-emerge, which represents the main body of Japan's economy and has brought glory to Japan's economy?
Countless economists are also exploring the problems of Japan's economy and looking for solutions. We can also see the economic reform measures made by successive senior government officials in Japan, and although some of them have achieved certain results, they have not fundamentally changed the current situation of Japan's economy. So there is still a lot to be discussed about their policies.
Nobuyuki Kobayashi, president of a small and medium-sized enterprise in Japan, is a participant in the Japan economy and represents the experience of the front line of Japan's manufacturing, which allows him to have a better understanding of the root problems of Japan's manufacturing, have more thinking, and of course, put forward his own suggestions.
Now he has put these thoughts into writing, and the book we are reading, "Made in Lost Japan: Prosperity and Decline, Self-Salvation, and the Future."
In this book, the author first analyzes the current state of Japan's manufacturing industry, takes us to understand why the once beautiful Japan manufacturing is facing the current situation, and of course, analyzes whether the situation we are accustomed to thinking about Japan manufacturing is really unsolvable.
The bottleneck of Japan's economy has its own problems, such as the scarcity of resources and insufficient market capacity. However, Made in Japan also has its own advantages, such as the spirit of Japan craftsmanship that we often hear about ensures the quality of Made in Japan. At the same time, Japan's lifetime employment system is one of the reasons hindering Japan's economic development, but it can also be a boost to the re-emergence of Japan's manufacturing. Because in the manufacturing industry, experience has incomparable value, and the lifetime employment system will inevitably allow workers to accumulate experience, so as to provide more help to the success of the enterprise.
Therefore, after an in-depth analysis of all the root causes of Japan manufacturing, the author puts forward his theory of "SHIN ·Japan manufacturing". The author hopes to rebuild the advantages of Japan manufacturing from the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, so that small and medium-sized enterprises can re-carry the banner of Japan manufacturing, and let Japan manufacturing regain confidence, regain vitality, and re-enter the foreground.
Since the author has put forward his development concept, he must also give a lot of practical landing strategies. For example, one of them is that small and medium-sized enterprises should choose the market to survive in the cracks. The author believes that small and medium-sized enterprises should aim at the niche market, niche market, and scarce market, and choose a small market in which large enterprises will not participate, so that small and medium-sized enterprises can develop smoothly.
Of course, the author also analyzes the unique advantages of small and medium-sized enterprises, in addition to being able to avoid too much attention, what is more important is that small and medium-sized enterprises can respond to current changes more flexibly, can continue to cultivate in a single field, and can achieve the leading details. And this is indispensable for the manufacturing enterprises of the future.
This book is worth reading for readers who are interested in the Japan economy, who want to understand the internal roots of the Japan economy, or who want to learn from the experience and lessons of the Japan economy. Moreover, for the managers of small and medium-sized enterprises in the mainland, this book is also worth reading and referencing, after all, the development path of small and medium-sized enterprises analyzed in the author's book is also applicable to us and has reference value.
Through such a book to find a way out for the Japan economy, let's feel the reflection and experience of the front-line personnel of enterprises on the reality, and the path of Japan's economic resurgence. #Japan Economy##Japan Economic Development##Lost Japan#
