Marie Anchordoguy's book examines how the performance of these industries and the economy as a whole are affected by the socially embedded nature of Japan's capitalist system, which she calls "communitarian capitalism."Reprogramming Japan shows how the institutions and policies that emerged during and after World War II to maintain communitarian norms, such as the lifetime employment system, seniority-based wages, enterprise unions, a centralized credit-based financial system, industrial groups, the main bank corporate governance system, and industrial policies, helped promote high tech industries. When conditions shifted in the 1980's and 1990's, these institutions and policies did not suit the new environment, in which technological change was rapid and unpredictable and foreign products could no longer be legally reverse-engineered.Despite economic stagnation, leaders were slow to change because of deep social commitments. Once the crisis became acute, the bureaucracy and corporate leaders started to contest and modify key institutions and practices. Rather than change at different times according to their specific economic interests, Japanese firms and the state have made similar slow, incremental changes. 410 0$aCornell studies in political economy. 606 $aHigh technology industries$zJapan 606 $aCapitalism$xSocial aspects$zJapan 606 $aIndustrial policy$zJapan 607 $aJapan$xEconomic conditions$y1989- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHigh technology industries 615 0$aCapitalism$xSocial aspects 615 0$aIndustrial policy 676 $a330.952/05 700 $aAnchordoguy$b Marie$01037329 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461141303321 996 $aReprogramming Japan$92458239 997 $aUNINA
