英文の下に日本語の告知文が続きます。
After 30 years of dismal macro-economic news, how is Japan still a technology leader and ranking among the largest world economies? To solve this puzzle, we need to descend to the firm level and look at how Japan's most successful companies have transformed over this period. These frontrunners have pivoted away from diversified conglomerates with ill-defined goals, toward much more focused and nimble competitors at the innovation frontier. By moving upstream in global value chains in areas such as advanced materials, components and precision machinery, they have adopted a "Japan Inside" strategy. This is difficult to see but all the more powerful, because it anchors many of Northeast Asia's supply chains. Schaede's recent bestseller シン・日本の経営:悲観バイアスを排す (Shin Nihon no Keiei: Hikan Bias o Haisu, Nikkei Business Publications, 2024) will be published in English as Japan-Emerges later this year.
Ulrike Schaede is Professor of Japanese Business at the University of California San Diego, School of Global Policy and Strategy (GPS). She is the Director of JFIT (Japan Forum for Innovation and Technology), and organizes a regular "Japan Zoominar" on current issues onJapan. Her research focuses on Japanese business strategies, management and employment practices, corporate culture, financial markets, and innovation. Her book The Business Reinvention of Japan (Stanford University Press, 2020) won the 37th Masayoshi Ohira Memorial Prizes (The Japanese edition is 再興 THE KAISHA 日本のビジネス・リインベンション, published by Nikkei BP, 2022).
Schaede holds a PhD in Japan Studies and Economics from Marburg University, Germany, and has been invited to visiting professor positions at many universities in the U.S. and Japan, as well as the research institutes of the Bank of Japan, METI, MOF, and DBJ. All told, she has spent over nine years of research in Tokyo.
