Unintended consequences of industrial policy: 产业政策的意外后果:

This paper examines the aircraft, petrochemical, and mainframe-computer industries to de-lineate the reasons why some of Japan’s industrial policies during the rapid-growth period succeeded and some failed. The Japanese government implemented policies to advance each of the three industries, but the measures had significantly different effects. While the government favored approaches that involved limiting the number of companies in the given industry and providing support for large-scale production to maximize efficiency, the companies in the industry tended to reinterpret the policies to the extent possible under the official constraints in ways that would minimize the resulting disadvantages to company operations. Out of that context, with the government’s policies on one side and the firms’ strategic responses on the other, emerged a wide variety of unintended consequences. The cases of the aircraft and petrochemicals illustrate how the government’s attempts to cultivate “national champion” companies by supporting the “visible hand” of management ended up stopping or twisting the “invisible hand,” thereby bringing the government’s policies to unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the mainframe-computer industry sheds light on how the government can allow the visible hand and the invisible hand to coexist and function effectively.
本文以飞机工业、石油化工工业和大型计算机工业为研究对象,分析了日本高速增长期产业政策成败的原因。日本政府对这三个产业分别实施了促进政策,但效果差异很大。虽然政府倾向于限制特定行业的公司数量,并为大规模生产提供支持以最大限度地提高效率,但该行业的公司倾向于在官方限制下尽可能地重新解释政策,以尽量减少对公司运营的不利影响。在这种背景下,一边是政府的政策,另一边是企业的战略反应,出现了各种各样意想不到的后果。飞机和石化的案例说明,政府试图通过支持“看得见的手”来培育“国家冠军”企业,结果却阻止或扭曲了“看不见的手”,从而使政府的政策陷入了意想不到的失败。与此同时,大型计算机行业也为政府如何让“看得见的手”和“看不见的手”共存并有效发挥作用提供了启示。

East Asia has made a remarkable economic development during the twentieth century. The aim of this book is to highlight a unique characteristic of this economic development and point out its challenge to the present world. Many studies on East Asia’s economic development presupposed the development model based on historical experiences in Europe and the United States. They understood the development of developing economies in East Asia as a process to catch up with developed economies in Europe and the United States. However, by conducting a long-term investigation covering a century-long period since the late nineteenth century, this book demonstrates that development patterns of East Asian economies are different from those of Western countries. In addition, by applying the same analytical framework to both Japanese and Chinese economies, which have hitherto been only contrasted with each other, it reveals that economies in the East Asian region consisting of China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan have developed, showing both similarities and differences. This challenging subject of theorizing development patterns of East Asian economies differing from those of Western countries is very intriguing. It is particularly worth noting that this book shows the following similarities and differences in the development of East Asian economies. With regard to similarities, first, a continuous economic development was realized intrinsically through the expansion of the domestic market. Second, the East Asian economies developed not as a closed chain within the East Asian region but as part of the global economy. As for a difference, the processes of economic development were different between Japan and China, because modern industries emerged at different periods. More concretely, in Japan, in which modern industries had emerged during the 1880s and 1890s, heavy and chemical industries developed during the interwar period, contributing to the advancement and sophistication of industries. Whereas, in China, in which modern industries emerged during the 1910s and 1920s, the secondary sector of industry consisted mostly of light industries, and the development of heavy industries was only limited. Despite these interesting findings, however, consumer goods industries such as the apparel and auto industries should have been included in the investigation in addition to core manufacturing industries dealt with in this book for the purpose of a better understanding of the economic development of East Asia, which has now become the “world’s factory.”
东亚在二十世纪取得了令人瞩目的经济发展。这本书的目的是强调这种经济发展的一个独特特征,并指出它对当今世界的挑战。许多关于东亚经济发展的研究都基于欧美的历史经验预设了这种发展模式。他们把东亚发展中经济体的发展理解为追赶欧美发达经济体的过程。然而,通过对19世纪末以来长达一个世纪的长期调查,这本书证明了东亚经济体的发展模式与西方国家不同。此外,通过将相同的分析框架应用于日本和中国经济,揭示了东亚地区由中国、日本、韩国和台湾组成的经济已经发展,既有相似之处,也有差异。将东亚经济体不同于西方国家的发展模式理论化这一具有挑战性的课题非常耐人寻味。特别值得注意的是,本书展示了东亚经济体发展的以下异同点。就相似之处而言,首先,经济的持续发展本质上是通过扩大国内市场来实现的。第二,东亚经济的发展不是东亚区域内的封闭链条,而是作为全球经济的一部分。至于差异,日本和中国的经济发展过程是不同的,因为现代工业出现的时期不同。更具体地说,在日本,现代工业在19世纪80年代和90年代出现,重工业和化学工业在两次世界大战之间发展起来,促进了工业的进步和复杂化。而在20世纪10年代和20年代出现现代工业的中国,第二产业主要是轻工业,重工业的发展十分有限。然而,尽管有这些有趣的发现,为了更好地了解已经成为“世界工厂”的东亚的经济发展,除了本书所涉及的核心制造业之外,还应该将服装和汽车等消费品行业纳入调查范围。

Vocational Training and Vocational Education in Postwar Japan: An Overview 战后日本的职业培训与职业教育:综述
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.5029/jrbh.37.1

Introduction Japanese labor practices have long been associated with the three core components of seniority wages, lifetime employment, and enterprise unions. Scholar Moriguchi Chiaki has taken a more nuanced look at the dynamics of Japanese labor, identifying a Japanesestyle human-resource management model comprising seven mutually complementary human-resource policies whose roots she traces to Japan’s postwar period of rapid growth: (1) selective, once-a-year recruitment of new graduates, (2) extensive company training programs and education, (3) periodic pay raises and internal promotion based on evaluations, (4) flexible job assignments and small-group activities, (5) employment security until the age of mandatory retirement, (6) enterprise unions and joint labormanagement consultations, and (7) unified personnel management of white-collar and blue-collar employees (Moriguchi 2014, 61).1 The main theme for this edition of Japanese Research in Business History, the 37th in the publication’s history, is in-house education in postwar Japan—one of the pillars of the Japanese-style human-resource management model. The “postwar” element is key here, as it provides the temporal context for company-sponsored, in-house education as part of the country’s overall educational system. During the US occupation of Japan after World War II, the Japanese educational system underwent drastic changes through occupation-driven reforms. Two of the most pivotal elements of that transformation were the lengthening of compulsory education from six years to nine years and the subsequent shift toward a co-educational policy for every phase of the educational framework, including secondary and higher education. Whereas the educational system in prewar Japan was single-sex outside of primary education and compulsory education, the postwar transition saw essentially every element of the educational structure—including secondary and higher education—go coeducational. In prewar Japan, children who chose not to go on to secondary education
长期以来,日本的劳动实践一直与工龄工资、终身雇佣和企业工会这三个核心组成部分联系在一起。学者Moriguchi Chiaki对日本劳动力的动态进行了更细致的研究,发现了一种日本式的人力资源管理模式,其中包括七项相互补充的人力资源政策,她认为这些政策的根源可以追溯到日本战后的快速增长时期:(1)有选择性地每年招聘一次毕业生;(2)广泛的公司培训计划和教育;(3)基于评估的定期加薪和内部晋升;(4)灵活的工作分配和小组活动;(5)就业保障至法定退休年龄;(6)企业工会和劳资联合协商;(7)白领和蓝领员工的统一人事管理(Moriguchi 2014, 61)这一期《日本商业史研究》是该刊物历史上的第37期,其主题是战后日本的内部教育,这是日本式人力资源管理模式的支柱之一。“战后”元素是这里的关键,因为它为公司赞助的内部教育提供了时间背景,作为国家整体教育体系的一部分。第二次世界大战后,美国占领日本期间,日本的教育制度在职业驱动的改革中发生了巨大的变化。这一转变的两个最关键的因素是将义务教育从6年延长到9年,以及随后在教育框架的每个阶段转向男女同校政策,包括中等教育和高等教育。战前日本的教育体系除了初等教育和义务教育之外都是男女同校的,而战后的转变基本上看到了教育结构的每一个要素——包括中等教育和高等教育——都变成了男女同校。在战前的日本,选择不接受中等教育的孩子

This work analyzes the development of Mitsubishi’s business activities during the period between the late 1870s and the 1910s, highlighting changes of its organizational form. Many of the top Japanese companies, such as Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and MUFG Bank, are de-scendants of a shipping enterprise established by Iwasaki Yatarō in 1870, three years after the Meiji Restoration. (Shortly, the enterprise was given a firm name, Mitsubishi.) During the period in question, Mitsubishi expanded its business to the mining, shipbuilding and banking industries, while withdraw-ing from the initial shipping business. In the meantime, it came to be referred to as a “zaibatsu” along-side Mitsui, Sumitomo and others. defined Dupont This work contains findings. in course of the organizational reform, while in its The study that the reform much a pre-planned project as a gradual process in which ad hoc revisions were m ade one after another in response This book deals with the distribution system of Japanese cars, elucidating changes of relationships between manufacturers and dealers based on franchise systems.

这部作品分析了三菱公司在19世纪70年代末到20世纪10年代之间的商业活动的发展,突出了其组织形式的变化。许多日本顶级企业,如三菱商事、三菱重工和三菱ufj银行,都是明治维新三年后的1870年,岩崎弥辰创立的航运企业的后代。(不久,这家企业就有了一个公司名称:三菱。)在此期间,三菱将业务扩展到采矿、造船和银行业,同时退出了最初的航运业务。与此同时,它与三井、住友等公司一起被称为“财阀”。这项工作包含了研究结果。在组织改革的过程中,而在其研究中,改革更像是一个预先计划的项目,作为一个渐进的过程,在此过程中,一个接一个地进行临时修订。这本书涉及日本汽车的分销系统,阐明了基于特许经营制度的制造商和经销商之间关系的变化。在此过程中,企业家和公司管理受到了关注。

growth of the community on the one hand and the structural constraints that curbed regional development on the other. By examining the history of labor relations and other facets of corporate management within an analytical framework that positions the “total picture” (macrohistory) relative to the “regional picture,” Ishii also presents an eye-opening window on the unique economic development that has characterized modern Japan. This new empirical study from Yokoi Katsunori probes the evolution of the global production networks at Honda Motor Company, particularly within its motorcycle business, looking specifically at how the mechanisms for coordinating resource allocation within the company took shape. The first half of the book, which examines the changes in Honda’s arrangements for its international production setup from the late 1990s to the mid-2010s, analyzes the transformation in three basic phases. In the initial form of the system, individual sites supplied each other with products developed for local markets. Over time, however, the framework gradually took on a leaner, more efficient composition in which selected production sites cater to foreign markets. Honda clarified the roles for the different production sites, as well; in the process, the company assigned certain locations—like the location in Thailand—higher-level functions. As Yokoi shows, Honda’s in-house global production setup developed in a co-evolutionary fashion: instead of progressing according to a predetermined plan, the framework took shape through a series of revisions and tweaks in response to constant market fluctuation and development of resources at individual production sites. In the second half of the work, Yokoi focuses on the coordination mechanisms that governed the development of Honda’s international production system. First, the author investigates Honda’s processes for formulating its product lineups, developing individual models, and executing production. Then Yokoi discusses how the company confronted daunting challenges in optimizing its international production system amid market changes and tapped into the development of capabilities at each production site—all the while staying in line with the company’s long-term business strategy. From there, the analysis turns to Honda’s production-planning division. Yokoi investigates how the production-planning division evaluates and selects production sites and argues that, within that system, domestic Japanese production facilities represent crucial cogs in the coordination mechanism for Honda’s global strategy.
一方面是社区的成长,另一方面是制约区域发展的结构性制约。通过在相对于“区域图景”的“整体图景”(宏观历史)的分析框架内考察劳资关系的历史和企业管理的其他方面,石井也为现代日本独特的经济发展提供了一个令人大开眼界的窗口。Yokoi Katsunori的这项新的实证研究探讨了本田汽车公司全球生产网络的演变,特别是在其摩托车业务中,特别关注了公司内部协调资源配置的机制是如何形成的。这本书的前半部分考察了从20世纪90年代末到21世纪10年代中期本田在国际生产安排上的变化,分析了这一转变的三个基本阶段。在该系统的最初形式中,各个站点相互提供为当地市场开发的产品。然而,随着时间的推移,该框架逐渐呈现出更精简、更有效的组成,其中选定的生产地点迎合国外市场。本田也明确了不同生产基地的角色;在这个过程中,公司将某些地点——比如泰国的地点——分配给了更高级别的职能。正如横井所展示的,本田内部的全球生产设置是以共同进化的方式发展的:框架不是按照预定的计划进行,而是通过一系列的修改和调整来响应不断的市场波动和各个生产基地的资源开发。在本书的后半部分,横井把重点放在了管理本田国际生产体系发展的协调机制上。首先,作者调查了本田制定产品阵容,开发单个模型和执行生产的过程。然后,横井讨论了公司如何在市场变化的情况下,面对艰巨的挑战,优化其国际生产系统,并利用每个生产基地的能力发展,同时保持公司的长期业务战略。从这里开始,分析转向本田的生产规划部门。横井调查了生产计划部门是如何评估和选择生产地点的,他认为,在这个系统中,日本国内的生产设施是本田全球战略协调机制中的关键齿轮。

In-House Training during Japan’s High-Growth Period: 日本高增长时期的内部培训:
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.5029/jrbh.37.11
M. Sawai
This paper explores changes in the in-house training systems at major firms in postwar Japan. In the 1950s, companies usually hired new middle school graduates as technicians. As a growing proportion of students began going on to high school, however, companies started struggling to find middle school graduates to fill positions. The recruitment demographics shifted; by the late 1960s, high schools had begun displacing middle schools as the primary source of new technicians. Approaches differed by company and location, however. One example was Fuji Iron & Steel’s Muroran Works in Hokkaido, where the increases in high-school attendance rates trailed the proportional growth on Japan’s main island. In that context, therefore, the Muroran Works continued to provide training and education for middle school graduates into the 1960s. However, changes began to occur shortly thereafter. In FY1961, the facility changed the name of its Wanishi Private Technical School to Fuji Iron & Steel Muroran Technical High School and extended the course of study from two years to three years. In FY1964, meanwhile, the school introduced correspondence courses. The changes effectively altered the nature of the institution, allowing students at Fuji Iron & Steel Muroran Technical High School to obtain high school–graduate qualifications. Mitsubishi Electric offers an example of another approach. Placing its focus on helping technical trainees cultivate the abilities they would need to succeed as versatile, multi-skilled workers with a broad grounding in liberal arts, the company made that refinement the core of its education and training efforts.
本文探讨了战后日本各大公司内部培训制度的变化。在20世纪50年代,公司通常雇用刚毕业的中学毕业生担任技术员。然而,随着越来越多的学生开始上高中,公司开始难以找到初中毕业生来填补职位空缺。招聘人口结构发生了变化;到20世纪60年代末,高中已经开始取代中学,成为新技术人员的主要来源。然而,不同的公司和地区采用不同的方法。富士钢铁(Fuji Iron & Steel)位于北海道的Muroran工厂就是一个例子,那里高中出勤率的增长落后于日本本岛的比例增长。因此,在这方面,Muroran Works继续为中学毕业生提供培训和教育,直到1960年代。然而,此后不久就开始发生变化。1961财年,该工厂将其Wanishi私立技术学校更名为富士钢铁Muroran技术高中,并将学习课程从两年延长到三年。与此同时,在1964财年,学校开设了函授课程。这些变化有效地改变了该机构的性质,允许富士钢铁Muroran技术高中的学生获得高中毕业资格。三菱电机(Mitsubishi Electric)提供了另一种方法的例子。该公司将重点放在帮助技术培训生培养他们所需的能力上,使他们成为具有广泛文科基础的多才多艺、多技能的工人,并将这种改进作为其教育和培训工作的核心。
{"title":"In-House Training during Japan’s High-Growth Period:","authors":"M. Sawai","doi":"10.5029/jrbh.37.11","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5029/jrbh.37.11","url":null,"abstract":"This paper explores changes in the in-house training systems at major firms in postwar Japan. In the 1950s, companies usually hired new middle school graduates as technicians. As a growing proportion of students began going on to high school, however, companies started struggling to find middle school graduates to fill positions. The recruitment demographics shifted; by the late 1960s, high schools had begun displacing middle schools as the primary source of new technicians. Approaches differed by company and location, however. One example was Fuji Iron & Steel’s Muroran Works in Hokkaido, where the increases in high-school attendance rates trailed the proportional growth on Japan’s main island. In that context, therefore, the Muroran Works continued to provide training and education for middle school graduates into the 1960s. However, changes began to occur shortly thereafter. In FY1961, the facility changed the name of its Wanishi Private Technical School to Fuji Iron & Steel Muroran Technical High School and extended the course of study from two years to three years. In FY1964, meanwhile, the school introduced correspondence courses. The changes effectively altered the nature of the institution, allowing students at Fuji Iron & Steel Muroran Technical High School to obtain high school–graduate qualifications. Mitsubishi Electric offers an example of another approach. Placing its focus on helping technical trainees cultivate the abilities they would need to succeed as versatile, multi-skilled workers with a broad grounding in liberal arts, the company made that refinement the core of its education and training efforts.","PeriodicalId":199811,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Research in Business History","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128410436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
