The Development of Big Firms in the Interwar Japan

本研究的目的是根据员工人数完成两次世界大战期间日本200强企业的四个排行榜。笔者选取的时间是：1919年1月第一次世界大战结束，日本享受战后繁荣；1922年12月，经济长萧条开始；1931年10月，日本遭受世界大萧条；1936年11月，战时受控经济即将开始。笔者曾尝试建立上述数据库，并制作了四个排行榜，遗憾的是，它们存在许多问题。因此，他再次以这种资金支持来挑战这项工作。作者成功地在计划的时间内完成了这项工作，并获得了许多有价值的知识

The purpose of this research is to complete four ranking listsof Japanese top 200 firms in the interwar period by the number of employees. The times that the author selected are as follows: January 1919 when the First World War had ended and Japan enjoyed the postwar boom, December 1922 when the longdepression started, October 1931 when Japan suffered from the World Depression, andNovember 1936 when the controlled economy in the wartime would soon start. The author once tried to build the above database, and made four ranking lists, which, unfortunately, had many problems. Therefore, he again challenged this work by this financial support. The author succeeded in finishing it within the planned period, and could get much valuable knowledge
