Japanese Contemporary Culture, Prof. Morikawa
Meiji University’s School of Global Japanese Studies promotes research and education which focuses on Japan from multiple global perspectives. Japanese cityscapes are one aspect in which people from overseas take interest when they visit Japan.
I am assigned to lecture not only on Japanese pop culture but also on modern Japanese cities. During the lecture, we deal with how our cityscapes are formed, including components like street advertisements and people’s fashion. Many of our institutions and cultural styles, including governmental systems, universities, companies, as well as architectural design, art and fashion, were originally developed within European history rather than pre-modern Japan. Most of what constitutes our daily lives was transplanted from the West in the past century. Therefore, when we try to focus on whatever is “unique to Japan” in terms of industry, culture, tourism and other areas, we tend to emphasize that which is extremely exotic rather than what is mainstream. Similar circumstances are also found in other Asian countries. We conduct in-depth studies of such cultural structures embodied in our cityscapes.
Japanese Business, Prof. Numata
In recent years, “regional business strategy” in the emerging economies of Asia has attracted public attention in business circles. This term may not be familiar to many Japanese, but today, when the effects of globalization are felt even in our daily life, it cannot be said that the rise of emerging economies of Asia has nothing to do with those who live in Japan.
Cross-border management is called international management, in contrast to the type of management under which all corporate activities are confined to a single country. A look at the international management activities of Japanese businesses related to the establishment of overseas subsidiaries shows that after the Plaza Accord in 1985, they started to develop business overseas in earnest, shifting the focus of strategy significantly from export to overseas production.
By region, the overseas subsidiaries of Japanese businesses are concentrated in the three regions of Asia, North America, and Europe, but most of them are located in Asia.
Initially, business development by Japanese-affiliated manufacturers was intended to gain a cost advantage by exploiting a wage gap and utilizing cheap local resources. In other words, emerging Asia was regarded as bases for low-cost manufacturing.
In such situation, the key to successful management for Japanese manufactures in emerging Asia was to properly “transplant” Japanese management systems to the region.
It may be easy to understand this if, for example, you conjure up the manufacturing methods Japanese manufacturers have developed over the years, including continuous improvement through 5S activities, compilation of manuals and standardization, QC circle activities, and OJT. In short, the Japanese had the “right” answers.
Around 2000, however, the economic growth in most advanced countries started to slow down (since 1990s for Japanese case), and market expansion was no longer expected in Japan and other advanced countries.
Family Business, Prof. Hsu
Looking around the world, it is family businesses that support the foundations of the economy and society. Companies owned and operated by families are said to account for roughly 70% of all the companies in the world.
Innovation Management in Japan, Prof. Nisato
In recent years, innovation created by multinational corporations has increasingly brought about changes and affluence in our lives. There is a view that the success of these companies was attributed to the practice of “ambidexterity in managing the business.” So, in order for Japanese companies to grow and survive, is it all right to adopt the idea as a panacea?
Program
With the presence of His Excellency, the Portuguese Ambassador in Japan and a Masterclass of Councilor Aoyagi.

Kanda Shrine
Pray for prosperity, good luck and marriage at the Kanda Myojin Shrine, where three major gods, or kami, are enshrined. They include two of the seven Gods of Fortune: Daikokuten, who presides over bountiful harvests and matrimony; and Ebisu, the god of fisheries and business. The third is the Taira no Masakado, a rebel against the Hei’an government (794–1185) whom later earned revered status. The shrine is the head of 108 Tokyo districts including Akihabara and Tsukiji.
Keio Corporation
Keio Corporation is a private railway operator in Tokyo, Japan, and the central firm of the Keio Group that is involved in transport, retail, real estate and other industries. The name "Keio" is derived from taking one character each from the places through which the railway runs: "Tōkyō" and "Hachiōji".
