Prospects for, and role of, science and technology: a Japanese perspective
by Hiroshi Inose
International Journal of Technology Management (IJTM), Vol. 6, No. 5/6, 1991

Abstract: Japan's role in developing and using science and technology is considered in a philosophical vein where cooperative structures prevail between nations. Japan's industrial structure is altering to focus on high technology and its economic strength can now be applied to societal and environmental questions. Newly emergent countries can readily partake of the fruits of technology which must be applied to strengthening basic knowledge and research, improving the quality of life and promoting an international exchange of ideas. Unilaterally created structures in Japan will succeed if other countries show a reciprocal interest in Japan's contribution. Competition and cooperation in science will bring success to global efforts for economic and cultural development.
