项目摘要

This project's aim was to model quantitatively the national competitive advantages and disadvantages of Japan using data gathered directly from domestic and foreign firms operating in the economy. In so doing, the research aimed to address more generalizable hypotheses relating to national competitiveness beyond the Japanese case. A grounded approach was adopted to generate content-valid independent variables direct from senior firm managers. These independent variables were then written into quantitative instruments that were administered to representative domestic and foreign firm samples. Dependent variables were selected from prior literature on firm performance and competitiveness.Overall, more than 577,000 individual quantitative answers were provided by 3,798 individual questionnaire responses. Transformations to account for firm size, sector and other variables increased this number to just under 1,000,000 individual quantitative units of data. Additionally, 4,812 written respo … More nses were provided to qualitative questions by over 1,200 individual respondents.Results indicate that a range of generic issues general to existing institutional theories of growth and comparative advantage are germane to Japan's competitiveness. Results tend to support the case that Japan is more competitive in a number of sectors than its general macroeconomic performance over the past decade or so would suggest. More broadly, a series of general hypotheses relating to differential degrees of competitiveness and the heterogeneity of firms along national, sectoral, size and other dimensions, most notably strategic orientation, are found to have substantial support.A number of refereed conference papers have so far been produced from the research and several refereed international journal articles are under review or under preparation for review. Additionally, a scholarly monograph is under preparation for submission to a major international university publisher, and a more accessible, practitioner-oriented book of potential interest to senior business managers and public policy makers is planned.

本项目的目的是利用直接从在经济中经营的国内外企业收集的数据，对日本的国家竞争优势和劣势进行定量建模。在这样做的时候，研究的目的是解决更普遍的假设有关的国家竞争力超越日本的情况。一个接地的方法是通过直接从高级企业管理人员产生内容有效的自变量。然后将这些独立变量写入定量工具，并对代表性的国内和外国公司样本进行管理。因变量是从以前的文献中选择的企业业绩和竞争力。总体而言，超过577,000个人的定量答案提供了3,798个个人问卷调查。考虑到公司规模、部门和其他变量的转换将这一数字增加到略低于1，000，000个单独的定量数据单位。此外，4，812份书面答复 ...更多信息结果表明，现有的增长和比较优势的制度理论中普遍存在的一系列一般性问题与日本的竞争力密切相关。研究结果倾向于支持这样一种观点，即日本在一些部门的竞争力比过去10年左右的总体宏观经济表现所显示的更强。更广泛地说，一系列关于竞争力的不同程度和企业沿着在国家、部门、规模和其他方面的异质性，特别是战略方向的一般性假设，被认为具有实质性的支持。此外，正在编写一本学术专著，以提交给一家主要的国际大学出版社，并计划编写一本更容易获得的、面向出版商的书，这本书可能会引起高级企业管理人员和公共决策者的兴趣。少
