`A comprehensive history of technology and industrial development
of Japan ... useful to those who are not familiar with Japanese
industrial and technological development, and, among others, to
those who cannot read the Japanese literature. Finally, it is worth
mentioning that their English interpretation of Japanese names and
facts are correct so that they can be trusted.'
Business History
`A well researched and comprehensive text which will be of interest
to teachers and researchers across a wide range of disciplines,
including business economics, industrial management and technology
policy. It would also be a worthwhile purchase for practitioners
and those involved in formulating industrial strategies.'
Asia Pacific Business Review
Japan is sometimes considered to be a model of state-led
development, but this historical account of Japanese technological
development provides an impressive body of evidence to the
contrary. The authors provide succinct and well-documented
narrative case studies of technological development. - Marcus
Rebick. The Economic Journal. July 1998.
