Description

This course introduces a number of important facts concerning Japanese business and government and analyses them by applying theorectical frameworks and concepts such as game theory and comparative institutional analysis. This approach provides ways for understanding interconnections among a variety of Japanese-style business and labour market practices as well as tools for evaluating the effectiveness of Japanese industrial policy. Topics include: internal labour market; employment practices; work organisations; industrial relations; manufacturer-suppliers relationships; industrial policy (competition vs. collusion; R&D policy; protectionism).
