Dr. Yakushiji Taizo maintains that although various problems
face Japan's economy, aspects of the Japanese economy remain
vigorous. The overseas operations of Japanese companies reveal
a healthy economic performance and certain companies have had
impressive sales figures this year. The most problematic sector
is not manufacturing but the service sector, such as banks
and the retail industry. Dr. Yakushiji will discuss how reforming
the service sector, equipping Japanese companies with the most
technologically advanced equipment, and reforming Japan's higher
educational system will create an internationally competitive
workforce.
