By Coleman, Samuel,. London ; | New York : Routledge, 1999 . xv, 214 p. : , "Japanese Science: From the Inside," by Samuel Coleman, is an ethnographic study that explores the experiences of Japanese scientists within their research environment. The book delves into career structures, organizational issues, and the challenges faced by scientists, including women and those working in universities and government labs. It also examines the relationships between scientists and administrators. The book's central focus is on understanding the realities of scientific work in Japan, moving beyond general observations to provide an inside perspective. It highlights issues related to career mobility, the status quo in research institutions, and the dynamics between scientists and non-scientists in the scientific community. 24 cm.. 0415201691 | 9780415201698

Corporate governance in Japan :

Oxford ; | New York : Oxford University Press, 2007 . viii, 459 p. : , Debates regarding corporate governance have become increasingly important in Japan as the post-war model of bank-based, stakeholder-oriented corporate governance faces the new pressures associated with globalization and growing investor demands for shareholder value. Bringing together a group of leading scholars from economics, law, sociology and management studies, this book looks at how the Japanese approach to corporate governance and the firm have changed in the post-bubble era. The contributions offer a unique empirical exploration of why and how Japanese firms are reshaping their corporate governance arrangements, leading to greater diversity among firms and new 'hybrid' forms of corporate governance. The book concludes by looking at what effect these incremental but transformative changes may have on Japan's distinctive variety of capitalism. 24 cm.. 9780199284511 | 0199284512

Contemporary Japanese film /

By Schilling, Mark,. New York : Weatherhill, 1999 . 399 p. ; , This comprehensive look at Japanese cinema in the 1990s includes nearly four hundred reviews of individual films and a dozen interviews and profiles of leading directors and producers. Interpretive essays provide an overview of some of the key issues and themes of the decade, and provide background and context for the treatment of individual films and artists. In Mark Schilling's view, Japanese film is presently in a period of creative ferment, with a lively independent sector challenging the conventions of the industry mainstream. Younger filmmakers are rejecting the stale formulas that have long characterized major studio releases, reaching out to new influences from other media—television, comics, music videos, and even computer games—and from both the West and other Asian cultures. In the process they are creating fresh and exciting films that range from the meditative to the manic, offering hope that Japanese film will not only survive but thrive as it enters the new millennium. 23 cm.. 0834804158 | 9780834804159

The making of modern Japan /

By Jansen, Marius B.. Cambridge, Mass. Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2000 . 871 p. : , Magisterial in vision, sweeping in scope, this monumental work presents a seamless account of Japanese society during the modern era, from 1600 to the present. A distillation of more than fifty years engagement with Japan and its history, it is the crowning work of our leading interpreter of the modern Japanese experience. Since 1600 Japan has undergone three periods of wrenching social and institutional change, following the imposition of hegemonic order on feudal society by the Tokugawa shogun; the opening of Japans ports by Commodore Perry; and defeat in World War II. The Making of Modern Japan charts these changes: the social engineering begun with the founding of the shogunate in 1600, the emergence of village and castle towns with consumer populations, and the diffusion of samurai values in the culture. Marius Jansen covers the making of the modern state, the adaptation of Western models, growing international trade, the broadening opportunity in Japanese society with industrialization, and the postwar occupation reforms imposed by General MacArthur. Throughout, the book gives voice to the individuals and views that have shaped the actions and beliefs of the Japanese, with writers, artists, and thinkers, as well as political leaders given their due. The story this book tells, though marked by profound changes, is also one of remarkable consistency, in which continuities outweigh upheavals in the development of society, and successive waves of outside influence have only served to strengthen a sense of what is unique and native to Japanese experience. The Making of Modern Japan takes us to the core of this experience as it illuminates one of the contemporary worlds most compelling transformations. 24 cm.. 0674003349 | 9780674003347
