Der mittelständische Unternehmer in Japan

At this very moment, in Japan, small enterprises and entrepreneurs are burning issues. The reason for this is the economic trends of the nineties. Just as in Germany, the fear in Japan is that there is going to be a decline in innovatory potential and employment. On top of all this, Japan"s economy is restructuring, so ways which might help to surmount the crisis are being sought. Small businessmen, enterprising and armed to the teeth with technology, are expected to underpin the process of change.
The central issue in this volume is who, in Japan, is earning his daily bread as an entrepreneur, why, how one becomes an entrepreneur and the stance those already active in the field have adopted.
The work reflects the lively public discussion going on in Japan about entrepreneurial functions and characteristics. It is helpful for scientists and all who seek small business contacts in Japan, or wish to intensify those they already have.
