일본전자산업 입문

The Japanese Electronics Industry (Paperback)
Wataru Nakayama / CRC Pr I Llc / 1999년 6월

 일본전자 산업에 관한 객관적 소개서이다. 수치와 도표로 채워져 있고 드라이한 서술이다. 읽기 따분하다. 그러나 입문서로서는 산업을 개관하기에 좋은 책이다.

다음은 내가 아마존에 포스팅했던 리뷰이다. 

This is a Japanese part of the series dealing with Asian electronics industry from Korean, Taiwan, Chinese, and Singapore. Asian economies excel at electronics and IT industries. You must have at least one product made in that area. It¡¯s no wonder that there has been a flood of books on the electronics industry of those economies. The Japanese one, in particular, has been the centre of attention for its spectacular performance. Nobody hasn¡¯t heard of the brand names like SONY, Toshiba, or Panasonic. But most interests are directed to the secret formulae of their success stories or the devastating impacts on their domestic industries of US or Europe. There are rare cases of impartial and comprehensive mappings. This book is intended to plug this gap. This book is neither academic works nor impression-driven journalistic sketch, but is intent on informing basic facts and instilling the outlook of the industry in the readers. In doing so, this book begins from basic features of Japan in general, the overview of Japanese economy, the share of the industry in the overall economy and the history of the industry, to the present of the industry. Their presentation of the industry is loaded with statistic and cases of individual companies. Authors do their best to provide readers the concrete image of the industry. Sure, the writing style is bound to be dry and, at worse, boring. But this book is the good enough step to begin with.
